It can be pretty intimidating for the uninitiated to navigate the sea of Garmin Black Friday deals.

Instead, check out the below deals. We crunched the numbers to determine which prices were reasonable and how much was the real price drop. For the best offers on wearables and fitness tech, check out the best Bowflex deals, best Fitbit deals and best fitness deals overall.

Why should you get a Garmin watch this Black Friday
For those interested in improving running performance, getting a Garmin watch even at full price is a good investment. Apart from the basic and old models, most Garmin watches have the Garmin Coach feature onboard, an adaptive coach on your wrist that can train you to run your next 5K, 10K or half marathon faster.
Plus, they all have pretty accurate heart rate sensors and fast a GPS chip, both of which are essential if you take training seriously. You can always get a fitness tracker such as the Fitbit Versa 3 or the Fitbit Charge 5 for tracking outdoor runs, but the readings from these wearables are going to be estimations at best.
Not to mention, Garmin sends software updates to its watches constantly, updating the sensors all the time. This ensures that the watches stay accurate even years after they were released. Better still, Garmin has its own operating system, so you don't have to worry about the brand suddenly not supporting older watches.
