Garmin is known for creating many of the best running smartwatches on the market right now. One of our favourites, especially for those on a budget, is the Garmin Forerunner 165, which is on sale at Argos for £169.99 (was £249).

This generous £79 saving brings the 4.5-star smartwatch down to the lowest price we've ever seen. That makes it a standout early Black Friday deal.

In our comprehensive Garmin Forerunner 165 review, you can read about why this is such a fantastic option for beginner runners. You'll also find out why we gave it such an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The Forerunner 165 boasts a bright, crisp AMOLED display, a dedicated run button, and a long-lasting battery. Its GPS tracking also compared well with the same routes run while wearing the Garmin Epix Pro. All of this makes it a solid performer across the board.

If you like the specs of this smartwatch but would prefer more premium features, including Gorilla Glass, then we recommend going for the Forerunner 265 instead.

If you'd prefer an all-purpose smartwatch rather than a dedicated running watch, then our guide to all the best smartwatches is the place to go. We've put together all the best options based on price, features, and performance.
