The Garmin Forerunner 265 was the watch I used to run my first marathon, and I found it terrific. The watch helped me stay on pace every step of the way, and it opened my eyes to what Garmin watches were really capable of. It's a terrific piece of kit.
It's also heavily discounted in the Black Friday deals in both the US and UK. In the US, the Garmin Forerunner 265 has dropped from $449 to just $229 at Amazon, a huge $150 saving on both sizes and its lowest price ever.

UK deal: Save £80 on the Garmin Forerunner 265 here. Like the deal above, both sizes (the 265 and the smaller 42mm 265s) and different colors are available. It's perfect for runners who've graduated from cheap fitness trackers and are looking for a feature-packed running watch to take them through the next leg of their fitness journey.
I ran the UK's Brighton marathon with this watch, and it kept me on pace with its virtual pacer feature. I also got encouraging messages through from my wife at key stages of the race via the LiveTrack feature, as the watch was broadcasting my location to her.
It's a terrific piece of kit. The accompanying Garmin Connect app can help you design training plans and running routes, which you can then load onto your watch. Wearing it overnight gives you a Training Readiness score, a mixture of the previous few days of activity and your sleep quality to tell you whether you're sufficiently recovered.
It's a great buy. However, if you're not convinced, I've also included two deals on the Garmin Epix Pro, a slightly older super-premium watch that's now going for around half price on both sides of the pond. I used this one on my second marathon.
