With Christmas just around the corner, Garmin has dropped a December sale packed with savings of up to £250 — making it a great time to score a deal on a new fitness watch or upgrade someone’s stocking.

The best deals are currently on the Fenix 7 range and a few Forerunners – all of which are fantastic smartwatches, so the fact you can now snap them up for cheaper is even better.

But, it’s not just smartwatches you’ll find in the sale; Garmin’s dash cams, sat navs, cycling gear and fish finders are also on offer, so it’s well worth heading over to the Garmin website once you’ve read this article so you can have a good nosey through it yourself. Although, I have included a couple of these bargains in my top picks below.

When does the sale come to an end exactly? I'm not quite sure. However, I'd like to think it'll be running at least up until Christmas, and Garmin's extended their returns to the 15th January 2026. Anyhow, these are my five top picks from the sale – luckily, it includes some of my favourites…
