Garmin's wearables are among the best in the industry and as Prime Day enters Day 2, the time is now to snag a huge discount on them. From now until the end of the day, select Garmin watches are discounted by as much as $300 off. We're talking $150 off the Venu 2, $220 off the Forerunner 745, and a whopping $300 off the Epix.

These aren't just any old Garmin models either: The Forerunner 745 is our pick as the best running watch while the Epix is our pick as the best fitness tracker. These are premium Garmins and some of the best Prime Day deals of the entire sale.

What makes these discounts even better is that these are the lowest prices we've seen on these watches all year. Better than Black Friday; better than Cyber Monday; better than any other deal day. You can score these best-ever prices and give your fitness tracker selection a serious upgrade — but Prime Day deals end tonight. 

The best Prime Day Garmin deals

Which Garmin watch is right for you?

This ultimately comes down to how you plan on using it. For runners, something like the Forerunner 745 is going to be your best option. It offers in-depth tracking capability that does more than just pace and distance. Rather, you can look at a wide range of tracked data to help you improve your running style. There's even a handy workout recommendation feature that can help those training for events like a 10k or full marathon. 

Similarly, avid outdoor athletes should consider either the Epix or Fenix 7. Both watches are Garmin's rugged, high-end wearables that offer everything from built-in GPS and a pulse oximeter sensor to advanced sleep monitoring, hydration tracking, and in-depth mapping content. In other words, these should be the go-to companion for anyone venturing into the backcountry. 

Beyond those use cases, Garmin's wider range of watches is perfect for people of all fitness levels and skills. The Venu 2 is a sleeker model that has advanced health and wellness monitoring, while something like the Vivoactive 4 is an understated yet stylish activity tracker that's perfect for beginners or first-time wearers.
