Our favorite cheap Garmin just crashed to a new lowest-ever price at Amazon

If you haven’t noticed, the Black Friday deals have already started, even though the main event doesn’t officially kick off until later this week. We’re tracking deals on a ton of smartwatches and fitness trackers, and our top cheap pick for best Garmin watch 2024 has just had its price slashed to a new all-time low, making it an even easier pick, and one to rival the Apple Watch SE.

That’s because right now, you can score the Vivoactive 5 at Amazon for just £178.99, a massive saving on the usual price of £249 and £20 cheaper than the previous best deal.

We’ve extensively tested every Garmin on the market and rate the Vivoactive 5 as the best cheap Garmin thanks to its generous price tag, great AMOLED display, and extensive workout tracking.

In our Garmin Vivoactive 5 review we loved the upgraded AMOLED display, on-watch streaming capabilities, and its wealth of health and sports tracking options.

It might not have as many buttons as other Garmins, but at this budget price it’s a fantastic budget pick. It’s a great (and cheaper) alternative to the Apple Watch SE that’ll work with both iPhone and Android. It’s a much more rounded pick than Garmin‘s specialized Forerunner range, however, if you do want a great Forerunner, you can score the Forerunner 55 for just £119 at Amazon, or the Forerunner 255 for £195.

This is definitely one of the best Black Friday Garmin deals we’ve seen so far, but do shop around our list in case you find something more to your taste. We’re tracking savings on the Forerunner, Fenix, and Instinct range.
