The top 10 Garmin smartwatch deals STILL going strong after Prime Day

Garmin Vivoactive 5: $299.99 $190 at Amazon

Boasting a lightweight, aluminum case, the Vivoactive 5 is a hybrid smartwatch with a bright AMOLED display, 4GB of music storage, and up to 11 days of battery life on a single charge. At 37% off, it's a great entry point for new or long-time Garmin users alike.

The newer Vivoactive 6 remains full price at $299, and while that's a better watch, the Vivoactive 5 has the same display, sensors, GPS accuracy, weight, and 11-day battery life. It's not a bad trade-off to save $110!

Garmin Lily 2 Active: $299 $249.99 at Amazon
Garmin Lily 2: $249 $199.99 at Amazon

The Garmin Lily 2 is designed to deliver both style and training substance, helping you get fitter and track your health without the weight, bulk, and buttons of other Garmin watches. I strongly recommend the Active model for its 9-day battery life, built-in GPS, Garmin Pay, HRV status, sleep coaching, and built-in workouts, but the 5-day Lily 2 is lighter and still has the essentials.

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) 51mm: $1,099.99 $609.99 at Amazon

Rugged and feature-packed, the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) is a premium fitness watch with a 1.4-inch AMOLED display, military-grade durability, and 24/7 fitness tracking. It's basically a last-gen version of the Fenix 8 that's missing the mic & speaker but otherwise has nearly all the same features, from the flashlight and downloadable maps to the titanium casing and month-long battery life. It won't feel like a compromise at all!

Garmin Forerunner 255: $349.99 $198.95 at Amazon
Garmin Forerunner 255 Music: $399.99 $248.95 at Amazon

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is a watch that may look last-gen but has a next-gen mindset. It's the watch that doubled the 245's battery life, added dual-band GPS tracking and a new Elevate sensor for better accuracy on stress and recovery, an altimeter for elevation data, and Garmin Pay. It's a well-rounded device for runners who don't care about AMOLED enough to pay an extra $200 for the Forerunner 265.

Garmin Forerunner 955: $499.99 $349.99 at Amazon

Built specially with runners in mind, the Garmin Forerunner 955 also features great battery life with accurate GNSS tracking, full-color mapping, and dozens of pre-installed activity modes straight out of the box. Buy the Garmin watch from Amazon today and you'll get a straight 30% knocked off the price, no Prime membership required!

Garmin Forerunner 265: $449.99 $399.99 at Amazon

I loved both of the MIP Forerunners above, but I'll admit that I've become accustomed to AMOLED displays and found the Forerunner 265 more usable in everyday life. It's not as advanced as the Forerunner 955 for niche features like stamina and offline maps, but it has the essentials, including Training Readiness (which the 255 lacks).

I've seen cheaper on this watch before, but it's certainly better than paying $549 for the Forerunner 570!

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar: $399.99 $239 at Amazon

Currently 40% off at Amazon, the Instinct 2 Solar harnesses the power of the sun to provide potentially unlimited battery life, plus you get military-grade durability and all of the fitness tracking features that made Garmin a household name.

While it's not as advanced as the Instinct 3, only a solar model like this can deliver "unlimited" battery life if you spend enough time outdoors.

Garmin Instinct 2X Solar: $449 $299.99 at Amazon

The Garmin Instinct 2X Solar bridges the gap between the 2nd- and 3rd-gen Instincts, with much better solar recharging than the last generation, a larger display, and a built-in flashlight for nighttime emergencies.

Check out my guide on the Garmin Instinct 3 vs. 2X vs. 2 to help you figure out which model you need, but the Instinct 2X is a great mid-level option that's impressively rugged, lasts 40 days or 60 GPS hours without any solar recharging, and has all the training essentials to improve as an athlete.

Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar 47mm: $899.99 $499.99 at Amazon

The Fenix 7 Pro is as rugged as it is expensive, boasting a solar-powered battery, built-in LED flashlight, and a ton of advanced health sensors under the hood. Thankfully, Amazon is slashing 44% off the premium watch, dropping the price to its lowest point ever recorded.

Garmin Fenix 8 47mm: $1,099.99 $949.99 at Amazon

One of the most premium devices in Garmin's wearable lineup, the Fenix 8 is an absolute beast of a smartwatch, coming complete with a durable 1.4-inch AMOLED display, up to 16 days of battery life, and a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tracking features.
