The Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Solar is our favorite deal out of this sale, mainly because of the rarity of its discount. The watch was named our “best overall” pick in our guide to outdoor watches, but really the fēnix 7 Pro Solar is a high-end smartwatch that can do it all. Men’s Health editors love how robust the tech is, saying, “You get all the basic stats like heart rate, distance, calories, and a GPS map. But then you also get a bunch of more interesting stats like cadence, stride length, fastest mile, ground contact time, and time spent in each heart rate zone.” In addition to 11 sport modes and daily workout options, the fēnix 7 can monitor your recovery mode and give you sleep metrics. Compared to other Garmin fēnix models, our editors specifically recommend the 7 Pro Solar because it “has a battery capable of lasting a whopping 57 hours in full GPS mode—plenty of time to complete a multi-day backpacking trip, an ultramarathon or your bike club’s latest century ride.”

If you’re looking for a versatile, well-balanced Garmin watch for multiple types of training, then you need to check out the sale on the Forerunner 265. We named it our “best overall” pick in our guide to fitness trackers. The Forerunner 265 is strong enough to handle strength training, yet light enough for long distance running (it weighs under 50 grams). The price point of the Forerunner 265 was a huge sell for us too. It retails for $450, which isn’t the cheapest watch, but the overall value you get for the 265’s mid-tier pricing makes it well worth the investment. The fact it’s only 10 percent off in this sale doesn’t necessarily make it out best deal, but $50 off a watch that already packs a ton of value is definitely worth a look.
Just check out it’s library of features. You get heart rate variability (HRV), zone training, and even sleep tracking. New to the Forerunner 265 is also Garmin’s Training Readiness, which used to only be available on more expensive Garmin watch models. Training Readiness is fun to have because it takes into account metrics like sleep score, recovery time, acute training load, HRV status, and more to determine when your body is best suited for a hard workout—and when you might need to dial it back for the day so your training doesn’t become counter productive.
