Best Garmin deals in the Prime Early Access Sales: What we’re expecting to see

(Pocket-lint) – Garmin’s range of fitness trackers and GPS watches are some of the most popular accessories for tech fans. Whether you’re a beginner runner or a seasoned athlete, Garmin will have something for you to help your training.  Garmin has a wide range of devices and they offer great compatibility with smartphones, so many also choose a Garmin when they want a smartwatch, because it’s loaded with useful features.

With regular sales through the likes of Prime Day, the sales events from Amazon make it a great time to buy. The Prime Early Access Sale is likely to give us many of the deals we saw on Prime Day and we’ll be keeping track of all the bargains right here.

POCKET-LINT VIDEO OF THE DAY

When is the Prime Early Access Sale?

Amazon has confirmed that the event will take place on 11-12 October, although some deals will likely go live earlier than this date. Amazon Prime Day was held in July 2022 and saw a wide range of discounts and these new Early Access Sales will provide another discounted shopping opportunity. 

Prime Day type events normally run for 48 hours. While there are usually a couple of core sale days, there are often sales in the week before and sometimes continuing in the following weeks too. 

What to consider when buying a Garmin watch

With so many models available, it can be confusing when considering which Garmin model you should buy. The most important thing is to think about what you’ll actually use it for and how many features you actually need. 

Garmin divides its range in a number of categories, which basically divide as follows: 

  • Fenix – Premium multisport watches for those who want the best of everything
  • Venu – Garmin’s smartwatch line, providing an alternative to the Apple Watch and others
  • Forerunner – Top-tier GPS sports watches with a focus on catering for runners
  • Vivoactive – Everyday fitness watches that are best for gaining basic insights into all kinds of activity
  • Vivomove – Hybrid watches that can track activity discreetly
  • Instinct – Rugged GPS watch designed for the outdoors

There are some devices outside of this – like the Epix – but these are the most common sub-brands to think about.  Forerunner is the most attractive to runners or those principally focused on exercise, and the higher the number, the further up the scale it is. One of the hottest selling devices in the Prime Day sale was the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and we’d expect that to return for the Early Access Sales.

Take some time to see what is on offer: at a basic level, all Garmin devices will offer you heart rate tracking and GPS, and most will work with a wide ecosystem of devices – but some have much more advanced metrics to help you get the most from your training or offer better tracking options and battery life for longer adventures.  We’ll be bringing you all the deals from the Prime Early Access Sale, but below is a reminder of what was on offer for Prime Day.
