Garmin Vivoactive 3

So far I've been disappointed not to see any good deals for the Garmin Vivoactive 3 over Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Chasing the slate / black version, but I don't feel like forking out nearly $500 for it

Anyone know of any good deals on at the moment, or anticipate any from particular retailers in the lead up to Xmas?

TIA!

  • Ebay?

    This is USA, so no warranty for OZ, but priced OK (though I'm waiting to find them for around $250 before I upgrade).

  • Hardly surprising given its a new model. US $280 plus shipping from Amazon US.
    Reviews suggest it has a few bugs that need fixing?

  • I'm not against buying from the US, but there's the wait and warranty to consider. I'm sure Garmin would support internationally?

    Taking into account taxes and conversation rate, there still seems to be a ~ $100 'Straya Tax' on top of for the privilege of purchasing locally. Was hopeful Amazon's launch here would bring that down

    Would anyone recommend against getting a Forerunner 235 instead? Seems to be rpetty cheap right now and have many similar features (not to mention good looks). Aside from gorilla Glass, aesthetics and Garmin Pay… What's the major differences?

    • Garmin FR245 to be announced soon and Garmin seem to stop firmware updates for superseded models?

      • Any ETA known?
        Have details and images been released / leaked?

        I haven't been able to find more than rumour. Latest Reddit thread from November suggested they were unsure if this was a thing, and whether it would be out until sometime next year

        Garmin would be required to continue providing updates for the life of the warranty I would think

  • If you're still looking for one. offer ends at today.
