Garmins are super-popular buys in the Black Friday deals every year, but often it's older models you see discounted, not the best, brightest, and shiniest new entries to the lineup. Not so this year: almost every Garmin watch has a discount in some form or another.
I've been testing Garmin watches for years. I wrote TechRadar's buying guide to the best Garmin watches overall, and I've been testing fitness kit for a decade. I recently narrowed down our recommendations to just six watches: best for most people, premium, budget, best for runners, outdoors, and golf. Lo and behold, all of them are discounted for Black Friday.

Garmin Instinct 3 45mm Solar: was US$399.99 now US$299.99 at Best BuyRead moreRead less▼The Instinct 3 Solar is functionally the same as the Instinct 3, but it's slightly cheaper, and it swaps the brighter AMOLED for a duller, G-Shock-style memory-in-pixel display. This screen is more battery efficient and hides Power Glass, which acts as a solar panel to extend the watch's life. It also comes in this fetching Star Wars clone trooper-esque color design.

(Image credit: Future)All six of the watches above feature in our guide to the best Garmin watches, so I can personally testify that they're excellent training companions. The Fenix 8 is obviously the dream, but most users won't get the best out of many of its features: the Venu 4 is the best pick to strike a balance between performance and value.
Of course, these are only the latest and greatest Garmin watches; many older models are heavily discounted. We put together a comprehensive list of Black Friday Garmin watch deals that we'll update as Black Friday wraps up and Cyber Monday approaches.
