Amazon stocks a wide range of Garmin products, including smartwatches and wearables, health-tracking devices, dash cams and dedicated GPS satellite navigation (sat nav) displays.

From entry-level options to premium products that cost upwards of AU$1,000, there's something for everyone. The good news is I've seen upwards of 50% off on various Garmin tech, and occasionally even more for some older models.

To break this down a little more, I've seen the flagship-like Garmin Epix Pro 2 go for half price from just this year, while some older models like the Forerunner 955 and the Vivoactive 5 get some hefty price cuts, too.

Other products will get some discounts too, like dashcams and GPS sat nav displays, albeit for smaller price cuts compared to the wearables. Amazon
also stocks a limited range, but theres still plenty to go around. How to choose the best Garmin watch for you

When choosing a Garmin watch, there are three key points to consider: what sport youre interested in, what level you are at, and your budget.

If you're starting your fitness journey and want a watch to help improve your habits, that's fantastic a Venu watch will suit you perfectly. They're small and discreet, making them great for all-day wear, and they offer a good range of general fitness tracking tools.

Want something cheaper? The Garmin Vivoactive 6 will work very nicely for beginner runners and all forms of exercise, like fitness classes, and it's also great for sleeping in, as it's nice and light.

If youre a little bit further into your journey and now enjoy serious
running, cycling, swimming or all of the above, the Forerunner 570 and 970
are superb triathlon watches that will serve you well. Worried about scuffs and scratches? Take a look at the Instinct line; theyre built like tanks and have incredible battery life.

If you're seriously into your training and want the most profound insights into your health and fitness, the Fenix 8, Epix Gen 2 and their newer Pro variations are excellent choices. The Fenix 8 is perfect if you want to explore new routes, as its high-res OLED display is brilliant for mapping. Whats the best beginner Garmin running watch?

Beginners just starting their running journey are likely going to run shorter distances without worrying about complex running metrics. They'll also want
to make a smaller investment, buying a cheaper running watch.

We recommend the Garmin Forerunner 165 for under AU$400, thanks to its reliable GPS tracking, heart-rate monitoring and easy-to-understand pace, distance and training data. If youre on a budget, the Forerunner 55 is a
solid choice in fact, some top-tier pros still choose it!

Garmins other watches are also excellent options, but they're packed with features that many beginner runners might not need at first, such as full-colour maps, recovery insights and training plans.
