Black Friday 2022 is all about cheap Garmin deals; just look at this brilliant Fenix 6X deal or this Instinct Solar offer. How about that inexpensive Forerunner 245 sale? Well, if it wasn't enough, we found another: the beginner-friendly Forerunner 55 is down to its lowest-ever price, selling for only £129.44.

In our Garmin Forerunner 55 review, we said it's a significant update over the Forerunner 45, and it's also very cheap, at least by running watch standards. Its only flaw is the screen, but this is to be expected from a watch that costs so little. Now, it costs even less, which makes us forget about the issues even more.

The Forerunner 55 has an impressive 2-week battery life, has built-in GPS, and monitors a range of running metrics with high accuracy, including time, distance, pace and speed during runs or walks. It also allows you to monitor overall health and wellness with the wrist-based heart rate sensor. Better still, the watch suggests workouts based on your training load and capabilities!
