Garmin Confirms 20-40% Off Deals Planned for Q4 2024

Garmin has officially confirmed strong promotional activity planned for Q4, covering the Black Friday and Cyber Monday window. That means real discounts are coming, not the token 10% markdowns some brands quietly call a sale.

Expect 20-40% off prior-generation models like the Forerunner 255, Fenix 7, and Epix Gen 2. Current-gen watches, think Forerunner 965 or Fenix 8, will likely see modest cuts, probably in the 10-15% range if history holds.

For endurance athletes sitting on the fence, this is the moment to move. A Forerunner 255 dropping from $349 to around $210 makes it a serious competitor against the Coros Pace 3 at $229 or the Polar Pacer Pro. The value math changes fast at those price points.

Whoop and Apple Watch won't be running equivalent hardware discounts, so Garmin's GPS accuracy, battery life, and training load tools become even harder to argue against at reduced prices. A Fenix 7 Solar at 30% off is a different conversation than at full retail.

Short verdict: set your alerts now, know which model fits your training, and don't wait for stock to thin out. The best units go fast.
