Argos has kicked off its Easter \u2018Big Red Event\u2019 by slashing prices across its tech range, including a Garmin watch with no negative reviews. The latest deal that caught our eye is on the Garmin Forerunner 255 Smart Watch<\/a>, which usually costs \u00a3199.99.<\/p>\n

During the sale, shoppers can shave 10% off the price with the discount code RED10, taking the price down to \u00a3180. The Argos deal beats Amazon<\/a>\u2019s price, where the Garmin watch is available for \u00a3186.97.<\/p>\n

The watch is ideal for tracking fitness and gaining a better understanding of their health as it provides a morning report summarising sleep and HRV status after waking up. It can also evaluate training status to indicate if you\u2019re undertraining or overdoing it, with tracking of more than 30 activities including cycling, swimming and strength training.<\/p>\n

The Garmin weighs 49g but is made with tough Gorilla Glass 3 and has a water-resistance rating of 5 ATM, so it can be worn in the shower or while swimming. For those seeking a more affordable option, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Fit3<\/a> is available for \u00a359 and features tracking for more than 100 exercises.<\/p>\n

Apple fans may want to consider spreading the cost of an Apple Watch SE<\/a>, which Sky Mobile offers from \u00a37 and also monitors calories, steps, workouts and more. But the Garmin Forerunner 255 Smart Watch<\/a> has earned a near-perfect 4.9-star rating from 23 Argos reviews \u2013 all of which are four or five stars.<\/p>\n

\"Garmin“I’ve been using this for two weeks and am very happy, especially with the battery life after transitioning from Apple which barely lasted a day.”<\/p>\n

One happy customer said: \u201cCool and functional Garmin watch. Very easy to use and looks stylish. Good smart watch for day to day sports activities and also a nice watch to wear generally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cI\u2019ve been using this for two weeks now and am very happy. Especially pleased with the battery life after transitioning from an Apple Watch which barely lasted a day and less if I\u2019d been running. I\u2019ve only had to charge my Garmin Forerunner 255<\/a> once since purchasing and I\u2019m delighted. I love the variety of features too \u2013 especially the \u2018body battery\u2019 and the sleep recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third said: \u201cAmazing features for the price. Best run\/bike\/swim watch for the money.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, despite their five-star review, the same buyer added: \u201cOnly missing the full maps features but you need to double the price to add this so not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Garmin Forerunner 255 Smart Watch has been reduced in Argos’ Big Red sales event, beating Amazon’s discounted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[324,1662,3191,1630,1685,22518,9298,22517,22519,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-39656","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-amazon","9":"tag-apple","10":"tag-argos","11":"tag-fitness","12":"tag-gadgets","13":"tag-garmin-ltd","14":"tag-iwatch","15":"tag-samsung-inc","16":"tag-sky-mobile","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114378745218316230","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
