Apple Watch Black Friday 2025: Best Deals for Endurance Athletes

Apple Watch Series 10 is hitting real discounts this Black Friday, with prices dropping enough to make it a serious option for runners who want a daily smartwatch that doubles as a training tool. The Series 10 is thinner than the Ultra 2, tracks heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep, and syncs cleanly with Strava and TrainingPeaks.

Compared to a Garmin Forerunner 265 or a Coros Pace 3, the Apple Watch still falls short on battery life, sitting around 18 hours in workout mode versus 24-plus hours on the Coros. For Olympic-distance triathlon or a marathon, that's fine. For a 100-miler or a full-day cycling event, you'll need a backup plan or a dedicated GPS watch.

The Beats audio deals at up to 47% off are worth a look if you train with music. Beats Fit Pro clips to your ear securely, handles sweaty intervals without sliding, and pairs instantly with an iPhone. For treadmill sessions, tempo runs, or indoor cycling, that combo works well at the discounted price point.

AirPods Pro 2 are also in the sale and are the better all-round pick if you want spatial audio and better noise cancellation for travel to races. The fit is less locked-in than Beats Fit Pro during hard efforts, but the sound quality and ANC are a step above.

Solid deals if Apple is already your ecosystem. Not a replacement for a dedicated multisport GPS watch, but a strong secondary device or gift for an athlete who wants health tracking done simply.
