As a keen runner and TechRadar's resident fitness and wearables guru / guinea pig, I've tested almost every major brand of smartwatch and running watch out there, from your Apples to your Amazfits. However, I'm currently sharking the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale, and my first port of call is Garmin deals.

No matter how many other watches I test, I come back to Garmin like an old friend. The best Garmin watches have excellent battery life, a phenomenal companion app in Garmin Connect, full-color maps with turn-by-turn directions (that, crucially, can be used within certain workout profiles and with Garmin's excellent Route Creation technology) and many of them can still do all the smartwatchy stuff like take calls, texts, store music and so on.

Right now, you can get great Prime Day deals on Garmin watches, whether you're in the US or the UK.

In the US, we're seeing great deals on the Garmin Vivoactive 5 at Amazon (down from $299.99 to $249.99, saving you $50) and the Garmin Venu 3S, also at Amazon (from $449.99 to $399.99) as well as more specialist devices such as the Enduro 2 and Fenix 7.

In the UK? We're seeing the excellent Garmin Forerunner 255 down from £289.99 to £220.49, and the entry-level Garmin Forerunner 55 at Amazon from £159.99 down to just £133.95.

Garmin Venu 3S 41mm: was $449 now $399 at Amazon
While a $50 discount doesn't seem like much, the Venu 3S is one of Garmin's newest watches, so a discount this early into its lifespan is pretty neat. It packs some great features like animated on-screen workouts and up to two weeks of battery life, in all colorways.

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: was $349.99 now $309.99 at Amazon
Garmin's Forerunner line comprises some of the best running watches you can buy, and this deal is a doozy: grab a great GPS watch with outstanding running metrics and music capabilities. It's been a lot cheaper than this, though.

Garmin's fantastic Forerunner 255, an updated version of the 245 with up to 14 days of battery life and the useful Morning Report function. It's got over $50 off right now at Best Buy. It's missing the AMOLED screen and Training Readiness score of this year's 265, but it's a great watch at this price.
