Garmin has turned 35, and to celebrate the wearable giant has treated us to a special birthday sale (why, thank you Garmin!). It’s rare Garmin offer discounts themselves, usually we have to wait for big sale events from third-party retailers, like Amazon Prime’s Big Deal Days or Black Friday, but when they do, they deliver.

Even some of the newer models have been given the Birthday treatment, like the Fenix 8 and Instinct 3, but one model that’s really caught our attention is the Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition – which currently has over £300 off its £829.99 price tag.
