Cheapest it's been, pretty good price. Arguably better than the latest generation if you don't want an AMOLED screen

Charging port is starting to fail on my partners Fenix 6s pro. Called Garmin, they don't do repairs but can offer you a new unit heavily discounted.
I got a 255 for $400 and there is a big quality difference between this range and Fenix. A lot more metal on the Fenix.
We paid $548 for her Fenix 6s pro.
Same boat! I'd love a new battery, a torch like on the 7 pro, and also a touchscreen for map nav. It's still such good value I can't justify a new Fenix/fr
Agreed, people rave about the torch but when the F7 Pro sale price is $1k hard to justify spending an extra $500 for a torch.
Seems quite a few Garmin Watch deals dropping - new models coming?
Well black friday usually hosts a banger deal for Garmin watches.
Most people don't expect anymore this year.
This is already a gen old in the Forerunner line (although the 965 was quite flawed).
More just clearing old lines.
Why is the 965 flawed? Just curious.
My 935 is going strong, but this is a great price…..
instinct 2x solar in red $535 amazon au via germany
https://www.amazon.com.au/Garmin-Instinct-Solar-Flame-Red/dp…
shipping is who knows when if its the same as the black one i've ordered tho. estimate is basically "by xmas maybe?"
Awesome price - highly recommend this watch, very happy with it so far
Agree this a great price, unfortunately I just bought the 965 because I need to see the screen when running and AMOLED works best in that regard- but bummed it cost me $500 more.
965 is awesome though. you won't be disappointed. i'm getting a month battery life on mine.
Yeah I am loving it - had it for 2 weeks now and coming off 5 years with an Apple Watch. I thought I might regret ditching the AW but I don’t regret the change one bit. I realise I was blinded by fanboy propaganda. Cannot believe how liberating it is not having to hardly think about charging and the smartwatch features of FR work just fine for me.
Really depends on use case.
For sports tracking i prefer Garmin.
Apple Watch is really much better for Health…hr, sleep tracking etc
These have been hovering around $350 on the used market recently, so $500 brand new is a great deal. It's basically a Fenix 7 with a plastic (i.e. lighter) body. >2 week battery life, tonnes of features both as a smartwatch and a fitness tracker, physical buttons for controls and a touchscreen (that you can disable), reflective screen that doesn't look like a smartphone on your wrist, highly recommend.
Just got the Venu 3 from Amazon Japan,
955 or Venu 3?Venu 3 has an Amoled screen so if that matters to you stick with the Venu. This has a MIP screen - pros are excellent battery life (always on) and easy to see outside, but the contrast and brightness will look terrible next to your Venu.
They target the Venu series as their more entry level smartwatch/fitness watch combo.
Forerunner series (as the name suggests) is really targetted at runners/bikeriders.Whilst it still has basically all the features of the top of the line Fenix series it's nowhere near as rugged or durable.
This particular model is basically a lightweight Fenix 7 (specs wise sits between F7 and F7 Pro).The Fenix series is their main top of the line/adventurer type watch - the best battery life, most durable etc. Very hefty on the wrist though.
Amazing!
Thanks and I appreciate that alot.
I got a 265 a couple months ago. Wasn't sure about the AMOLED screen but I'm sold on it. Really looks good! But this is a super solid deal for a great watch.
Same, love my 265 from the rebel deal a couple of months ago. The battery life is amazing and the Amoled display is stunning!
This is great! Thanks OP! My Fenix 6 has been shitting itself for the past year, with Garmin only offering a 2nd hand replacement for $400
very tempting. any chance the fenix7 gets close to this price on black friday? id prefer a more durable watch
I bought an F7 Pro SS for $899 from a recent ozbargain post - $999 then $100 off at eBay (love it BTW)
Given it only dropped to $999 most places about a month ago I don’t think it will fall much further by BF - maybe to $800 at a push with some voucher stacking/ cashback? But I would doubt it will come anywhere close to this.
Very very very tempting! I am contemplating waiting on the 965 though and a good Black Friday sale..anyone got some more insight what a Black Friday deal may see it come down to roughly?
I need a watch with a reliable heart monitor. Has anyone had the opportunity to try out heart rate monitor on both 955 and 965? And able to provide feedback on these devices. Thanks
Fenix 6 pro still going strong 💪, cant convince myself an upgrade :(
