Garmin Deals & Offers

Just did a Garmin search and yay found this! Aw no it’s oos lol oh well. Unless I can get a new battery for Edge 25.

Well blow me down your right. Ordered one this morning. Wonder if it will fulfill!!

Oos!

Sorry - this product is unavailable right now.

Any excuse not to be on baby duty and a good film on the screen to keep me distracted!

Lol.... Running 25k scares me, that's over 2hrs for a keen runner, what do you use as a carrot, running toward or away from the Mrs (no offence meant) Hahaha.

Close but not there yet I don't think. Give it 2 years and they'll be there i think. This might not be a smart watch as such but it surprises me every time I do something new. The first time I used it on a Tremill and it knew I ran 25k it scared me XD

I totally agree that is a fantastic watch, i have the fenix 3....all I would say I am at a point where I might look at the Samsung gear (have Android watch). IMO the true smart watches are catching up to the dedicated triathlete gadgets. The Apple watch is also up there. Just have a think before making the purchase.

Decent enough price but not voting hot or cold. The watch on the other hand is epic! I love mine and if anyone is on the fence about getting one ... do it :)

Exactly what I upgraded from, such an upgrade ! Just gotta keep an eye on the battery more then I used to. But I do have Bluetooth and HR running all the time

Guys I need one of these at that price. Where can I get one please? Any of u got spares?

Same here got mine on tuesday looked new 1 tiny scratch mark ,charged & I have been using for the last few days good upgrade from a garmin 225.

I have just received mine, I ordered the grey slate variant. Not a mark on it but could tell the box was not new but very happy with the condition not one noticeable mark Great find op

good find OP!! Would love to hear your thoughts on condition etc when it arrives

(y) Mines coming next week even though it's out of warranty

Garmin are amazing on warranty even after the year... Have sent me a recon 810 and 820 when I had no right to really get one... I am a long term loyal customer mind.. Always worth an email

I’ve had one of these for over 2 years and wore it everyday and I loved it, i used it initially for running and walking and also for golf. From a golf point of view not as in depth as the specialist watches, but for me (I play at least once a week) it’s everything I need. It was waterproof but due to it getting banged around while wearing it for work, it went kaput in a swimming pool a couple of weeks back, water got in through the screen. I’m gutted. However I’ll think I’ll upgrade to the Vivoactive 3 as aesthetically it’s much better looking.

I am a big fan of the amazfit pace GPS watch, which can be around $100 from aliexpress, with bluetooth MP3 playback. The built in heart rate data is poor for running, but I have a bluetooth ANT+ (bluetooth) chest strap for £16 which seems perfect and helpful for "heart rate zone" training. It also is an excellent watch for phone notifications and silent (vibrating) alarms. The battery is good for 36h of continuous GPS, or around 3-4 days of normal use. It is much worse when using bluetooth headphones for music or heart rate monitoring. (Perhaps 4-6h of GPS use). The online reviews dont take account of the significant improvements with firmware updates in the last 6 months...

How strange. I just had my replacement watch delivered today.

And This Years ""Most Stupid"" Award go's To........

I never said a iPhone I said a cheap phone

Look - I'll guess you're not a cyclist. Having failed with the argument about why an iphone is better than a car sat nav - in that it's completely irrelevant to this product - why bother continuing with it? To politely answer your questions.... Why? Well, cycling is a pastime, a sport, a hobby. Who would cycle for more than 4 hours? Well, cyclists cycle for more than 4 hours - not all of them, but plenty. Where do they go? All over the place - keep your eyes out for them. How far you can get in that time? It depends what sort of rider you are and what sort of riding you do - maybe 40 miles, maybe 80. None of which is remotely relevant to this deal.

Why? where do you go? I don't see much reason in someone cycling 4hours everyday How many miles is that?

Lol! I’m not sure I tend to ride less than 4 to be honest.

You calibrate it before you start an activity... it's consistent relative to the start elevation.

I know how it works, it doesn't change the fact that it's wrong. If you're at sea level and it thinks you're halfway up a hill, what's the point?

Yes, I do wear a chest strap that’s why I recommended two watches that don’t have HR built-in, the Fenix 3 and 920XT which are in the same price bracket but do have altimeters. Of course the altimeter changes elevation overnight, you probably need to understand how it works - it’s only properly functional when actually training, not just to glance at random times. It tracks changes in air pressure which is what happens when the weather changes...

Heart rate can easily be fixed with a chest strap if you care that much. The altimeter changes height overnight when sat motionless on a table. If i can't accurately tell me my height, no interest at all.

Read DC Rainmaker’s review or any of the other big guys who use it first-hand. Less important for running but cycling much more so. They’re not inaccurate by any stretch. It’ll depend on what you want and expect to get out of it ultimately - but if I had to choose between an optical HR or an altimeter I’d choose the altimeter, optical HR has poor accuracy - e.g. I’d take an older Fenix 3 or 920XT before the 735.

Got 520 for 144 from halfords while back and this doesnt seem to be worth to be hot.

Nothings a good deal then if you compare it to the best ever deal! Was looking at this for £250 but oped last month to go with the 520 for £175.

Not cheap compared to when Halfords had the 1000 for £250 now that's a bargain!

That's for the standard Edge 520, not the plus.

165 on wiggle

It was on ebay, us seller. There was 15% off code offer as far as I remember. And the seller was selling about 3000 of them in total so that's why price was decent, even with tax and ebay global shipping. It was sapphire hr with metal bracelet, I sold bracelet for 50 pounds, bought original silicon strap instead . Still works great.

If you have a Fenix 3 HR which is working properly , this means that you are not in a hurry to buy a new tri-watch. Since the Fenix 5 Plus is only few months old , the price of the Fenix 5 will drop further in the coming months. The price for Fenix 5 is 375 for last weeks at Millets which means that 349 is a deal but not a super deal... Then its up to you my friend...

My Fenix 3 Sapphire is scratched anyway so I have taken a punt on this. Voted hot.

My fenix 3 is sapphire though... guessing that fenix 5 non sapphire would scratch a lot

Is it worth upgrading from fenix3 saphire hr purely from the fitness aspects perspective? I wouldn't use it's smart features tbf.

It's dropped!

Wife has the rose gold version and likes it. The vibrate has gone funny in it so think she'll send it off for fixing soon. I have the forerunner 645m and it's far better for running. This is more like casual fitness activity tracker. You get more data with the forerunner although it is more expensive. I'd also recommend these watches more if you have Android. It's far better than with iOS.

Had one, went back! Wouldn't sync with phone & didn't work properly.

uumm wanting to upgrade my forerunner 230, shame this isnt in black.

The Music version looks much nicer but is more expensive.

Does anyone own these - been tempted a few times but always put off by the hundreds of negative reviews.

Hoping this comes down to £80 again during Black Friday like it did during Prime Day. Missed it then.

£95 just to weigh yourself as all the other features will be highly inaccurate. Cold from me

Great scales. Frighteningly accurate and work so well with the Garmin ecosystem.

I have got these and they are really accurate but the WiFi connection is terrible and the Garmin forums have been full of complaints for ages with nothing done about it. I couldn't get them to sync at all on my old bt smart hub so had to buy a cheap older style WiFi cable router to plug into it and run the scales from there. It now syncs most of the time for me but not for my wife for some reason. They are working better since we switched to now TV broadband. It does look like Garmin might be finally about to try and fix the problems as they are finally responding on the forums about the issues and gathering info. Fingers crossed.

Other colours and sizes also available as well

Personally I did not want the touchscreen in the 820, and the 820 is an older model, which the 520 plus has now caught up with functionality wise. There may still be small differences between the two though. Note the Edge 820 Explore (cheaper) has less features than the Edge 820

Why not go for 820. Is this better.

My wife has a Vivofit 3, it is quite chunky compared to the revised Vivofit 4 which is a lot slimmer and also has a colour display. If you can afford it, go for the 4. Not voting hot or cold, just saying.

Yes these are replaceable. I have had mine a year and still haven't needed to replace it. I'm not sure if Argos are correct on battery life as I thought they lasted upo 3 years. There are screws on the back that give you access to the battery, it's like a watch battery. I love mine so much, as I use it as a watch too. It's great that you can see the step count on the screen without having to sync like some other bands. Heat added!

It's basically a glorifed pedometer.

hows it track cycling if it doesnt have GPS :/

Argos Q&A says, "Its 1-year battery life lets you track activity 24/7 so you never have to turn it off or charge it." Does anyone know if the battery is replaceable? It doesn't look like the watch is rechargeable as it doesn't have USB. Edit: I found out that it takes two cell batteries. I wish similar devices would have these instead of the rechargeable ones
