AirPod Pro 3 – $30 off! $219 Amazon These are the just-released AirPod Pro 3, with optical heart rate sensors in them. These are my daily-driver headphones these days, and even more notably, the heart rate accuracy is incredibly good in these. AmazFit T-Rex 3 – $75 off $226 Amazon We did see lower just back in July, at $199. So I’d probably hold out a bit more here. Assuming that happens, you can’t beat this watch at this price point (heck,not even at $226 either). Amazfit Active 2 – $20 off $79 Amazon There’s absolutely nothing on the market that comes close to the features of the Active 2 at a mere $79. Apple AirPods 4 – $80 off! $99 Amazon This is a very soild deal on these, the lowest to date. Apple Watch SE 3 – $50 off!
$249/$299 (cellular) $199 Amazon This is the first major sale for the Apple Watch SE 3, which came out just 2 months ago. It’s essentially Apple’s ‘budget’ offering, yet it still has all the same software features as a higher-end Apple Watch Series 11, as long as the hardware permits. Apple Watch Series 11 – $50 off! $349 Amazon This is the the just released Apple Watch Series 11, which also includes WatchOS26. Apple Watch Ultra 3 – $100 off! $699 Amazon This is the first time we’ve seen the Apple Watch Ultra 3 on sale, and given it’s $100 off, that tends to be the typical sale price for the holidays/Black Friday for the current/just-released version. Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch – $80 off $99 Amazon ⚡ This is (by far) the lowest price we’ve seen on this watch to date. This is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification. Fitbit Charge 6 – 38% off!
$159 $99 Amazon ⚡ This is the go-to sale price for the Fitbit Charge 6. It happens often, but it still doesn’t take away from the fast that it’s argueably the best bang for your buck fitness tracker out there. Garmin Bounce LTE Kids Tracker – $30 off $119 Amazon This is the activity tracker that both of our oldest daughters have used for years (age 8 & 9), as well as most of their friends now. They/we all like it. Check out my full in-depth review for all my thoughts. That said, the new Bounce 2 came out two months ago, and while my review isn’t out yet, it’s a far better product. But, quite a bit more too. The TLDR on that review will be that it’s the best kids smartwatch/tracker to date (for both parents and kids), but obviously will cost you $100 more. Garmin Enduro 3: $100 off
$899 $749 Amazon REI This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this to date. The Enduro 3 is simply the Fenix 8 with a MIP/Solar display (but without the scuba or voice calling features). It gets all the Fenix 8 features and updates otherwise. Garmin Epix Pro (42mm) – $300-$400 off! $449 Amazon ⚡⚡⚡ This is a fantastic deal. By far the lowest price we’ve seen this! The Epix Pro has a flashlight which the regular Epix lacks, plus the newer Garmin Elevate Gen5 optical HR sensor with ECG support. Garmin Epix Pro (47mm) – $300-$400 off! $499 Amazon ⚡⚡⚡ This is a fantastic deal. By far the lowest price we’ve seen this! The Epix Pro has a flashlight which the regular Epix lacks, plus the newer Garmin Elevate Gen5 optical HR sensor with ECG support. Note: Availability on this deal fluctuates, just keep checking back, I’m sure it’ll pop back again (it always does). Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar Sapphire (MIP) – 31% off
$799+ $439 Amazon ⚡⚡ If you wanted the battery life of a Fenix MIP series without the cost of a Fenix 8, this is basically your best deal. Plus, unlike the base Fenix 7 series, the Pro series includes the flashlight and Gen5 HR sensor with ECG. Garmin Fenix 7S Pro Solar Sapphire (MIP) – 31% off $449 Amazon ⚡ If you wanted the battery life of a Fenix MIP series without the cost of a Fenix 8, this is basically your best deal.

Garmin Fenix 8 Series – $250 Off! $749 Amazon REI ⚡ The Fenix 8 keeps getting all the new software features of the Fenix 8 Pro that was launched two months ago. Setting aside that Fenix 8 Pro which gained LTE & Satellite Messaging, this is otherwise the most capable sports watch on the market. Garmin Fenix 8 Series – $250 Off!
$999-$1,199 $749 Amazon REI ⚡ The Fenix 8 keeps getting all the new software features of the Fenix 8 Pro that was launched two months ago. Setting aside that Fenix 8 Pro which gained LTE & Satellite Messaging, this is otherwise the most capable sports watch on the market. Garmin Fenix E – $250 off! $499 Amazon As a general rule, the Fenix E is the watch that literally nobody is buying, and makes no sense at higher prices. The hardware is simply the Epix Gen 2 with Fenix stamped on it. That watch is going for $400, though I expect we’ll see it down to $300 over Black Friday. However, one *KEY* difference with the Fenix E, is that it includes all of the software features of the newer Fenix 8, whereas the Epix Gen 2 doesn’t get all the new software features. Otherwise, save your $200. Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) – $50 off

$349/$399 $249 Amazon Garmin Forerunner 265 Series – $150 off!
$449 $299 Amazon ⚡ This is (by far) the lowest price on the Forerunner 265, which was recently replaced by the Forerunner 570 (but at nearly twice this price). What’s fascinating about this sale price, is it’s well beyond the usual sale prices for Garmin for this product. This pricing is 100% an Kansas-themed ‘Hello!’ to COROS and their just released COROS Pace 4 at $249. Garmin Forerunner 55 – $50 off
$199 $149 Amazon The Foreurnner 55 is a great option if you simply don’t want to spend a ton, but still want a super-capable runners watch (and general activity/sleep tracking watch). I’ve heard a lot of you get it for teenagers that run, as a great/inexpensive way to track their runs, and still be a good everyday watch. Garmin Forerunner 965 – $150 off
$599 $449 Amazon REI ⚡ This is the lowest price to date on the Forerunner 965, which is logical given the Forerunner 970 came out this past spring (which essentialy adds a flashlight and some other running metrics/features). Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED – $100 off!
$399/$449/$499 $399 Amazon REI The Instinct 3 series came out earlier this year, with both an AMOLED and Solar variants.

Garmin Venu X1 – $200 off! $599 Amazon REI ⚡ This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the newest product in the entire Garmin Holiday 2025 sale lineup. This is basically a blend of a Forerunner 970, Venu 4, and Fenix 8…but super thin. It’s argueably one of the best deals here at $599, though, Garmin is still clearly trying to figure out the right pricing to drive purchases. Garmin Vivoactive 5 – $100 off!
$299 $199 Amazon Garmin Vivoactive 6 – $50 off!
$299 $249 Amazon ⚡ This is the first time we’ve seen the Vivoactive 6 on sale, which is essentially a Venu 4, but without the voice/calling/ECG features (and a few other tidbits). It’s probably one of the best deals in Garmin’s lineup (sale or otherwise). Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) – $100 OFF $200+ Amazon The newer Pixel Watch 4 came out back in October. I see the Pixel Watch 4 as a pretty substantial hardware upgrade over the Pixel Watch 3, notably due to satellite SOS, as well as a user-replaceable battery.

Pixel Watch 4 LTE editions – $100 off! $349 Amazon ⚡The Pixel Watch 4 LTE includes satellite SOS connectivity, even if you don’t activate a cellular plan on it.

$89 $84 Amazon This is a great dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart (with two Bluetooth Smart connections) chest strap that you’ll often find me using as a reference strap in heart rate sensor testing.
