Amazon Prime Day is over, but here are 8 Garmin deals still live

Amazon Prime Day 2026 in Australia is set to finish tonight to wrap up a weekend full of deals and discounts, so now's your last chance to save loads on a new Garmin device..

One standout deal is a 50% off discount on the Garmin Fenix E for AU$674, which is a steal for what you get. It's a slightly stripped-down version of Garmin's flagship Fenix 8 watch, placing it closer to the brand's mid-range or even some entry-level offerings.

Amazon stocks a whole heap of Garmin’s offerings, like its wide range of smartwatches and wearables, health-tracking devices, dash cams and dedicated GPS satellite navigation (sat nav) displays. The retailer is also where you can often find the best deals on these premium devices, and Prime Day will see a whole heap of discounts for even more savings.

Some of the deals I've found have at one point been among the best Garmin watches, like the Forerunner 265, Venu 3 and the ultra-rugged Instinct 2.

Having used Garmin watches for years, I personally consider some of the brand's offerings the best smartwatches out there, prioritising fitness and health features with just enough smarts to be a capable extension of your smartphone.

It’s worth noting that the best deals will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members (which I have labelled), so it’s worth re-subscribing if you were a past member. If it’s your first time, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial and still get access to these discounts.

Whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s the top-of-the-line watch or you just need a replacement charging cable, there’s a Garmin deal for you at this year’s Amazon Prime Day sale.

Best Prime Day 2026 Garmin deals in Australia

Garmin Vivosmart 5
Save 15% (AU$38)
Garmin Vivosmart 5: was AU$249 now AU$211 at Amazon

While it's still technically a smartwatch, the Vivosmart line falls under the 'fitness tracker' alongside with the likes of Fitbit's screened offerings. This wearable is a lightweight and lean offering from Garmin that prioritises data over looks, although there isn't built-in GPS here.

Garmin Index BPM
Save 15% (AU$38)
Garmin Index BPM: was AU$249 now AU$211 at Amazon

One metric that isn't available through the wearables above is blood pressure, so Garmin has made its own smart blood pressure monitor with the Index BPM. This fits around your bicep via a cuff, like a traditional blood pressure monitor, and it can fit arm sizes between 22 to 42 cm in circumference.

Garmin Index S2
Save 15% (AU$38.85)
Garmin Index S2: was AU$259 now AU$220.15 at Amazon

Want to get better insights into your fitness journey? Garmin’s Index S2 smart scale helps you better track changes to your weight and body composition over time, and is a great addition to your repertoire if you’re already in the Garmin ecosystem. It’s not the cheapest, but if you like to keep your fitness stats in one place, the Index S2 should fit right in seamlessly.

Garmin Drive 53
Save 16% (AU$45)
Garmin Drive 53: was AU$289 now AU$244 at Amazon

If you have an older vehicle without a built-in GPS display, the Garmin Drive 53 is a safer alternative to using your phone for navigation. The 5-inch screen is compact enough not to take too much room on your dashboard, but has enough screen real estate to see where you're going. Plus, I'd rather take Garmin's GPS technology over the built-in ones in most smartphones.

Garmin Vivoactive 5
Save 30% (AU$152.16)
Garmin Vivoactive 5: was AU$499 now AU$346.84 at Amazon

The Vivoactive 5 resembles a more conventional smartwatch, swapping out the monochrome display in the Instinct 2s above with a vibrant AMOLED screen. It also has some features found in more expensive Garmin watches like on-board GPS, on-device storage for offline music via Spotify, and fitness metrics like Body Battery and VO2 Max.

Garmin Instinct E (40mm)
Save 26% (AU$142.18)
Garmin Instinct E (40mm): was AU$549 now AU$406.82 at Amazon

The Instinct E is the entry-level variant of the ultra-rugged Instinct 3 watch, which uses some older sensors, an MIP display, smaller sizes (40mm and 45mm) and no built-in flashlight. This is also the lowest price we've seen for this watch on Amazon.

Garmin Venu 3
Save 21% (AU$154)
Garmin Venu 3: was AU$749 now AU$595 at Amazon

Garmin’s Venu range aims to straddle between smartwatch and fitness tracker, and the Venu 3 nails the assignment by combining fitness features like Training Readiness score, Race Predictor, advanced sleep tracking with functionality like a built-in speaker and microphone for on-watch phone calls, Garmin Pay and offline Spotify playback. The smaller 41mm Venu 3S is also discounted to AU$578.

Garmin Forerunner 265
Save 25% (AU$201)
Garmin Forerunner 265: was AU$799 now AU$598 at Amazon

While the Forerunner 265 is a step down from the 965 above, it’s still the Garmin running watch that we recommend for most people. This was the first Forerunner model to come with a touchscreen display when it debuted in 2023, and the AMOLED display is bright and crisp. Our reviewer called it the “one of the best watches Garmin has ever made”, praising its familiar yet different feel. If you want a smaller watch, the 42mm Forerunner 265S is slightly cheaper at AU$596.84.

Prime Day 2026 in Australia: sale information

When is Amazon Prime Day 2026 in Australia?

Taking place at the same time it did last year, Amazon's Australian Prime Day 2026 sale kicks off at midnight East Coast time on Tuesday, July 7 and will run for seven days. That means, Prime Day Garmin deals will end at 11:59pm AEST on Monday, July 13, 2026.

What kind of Prime Day Garmin deals can I expect?

Amazon stocks a wide range of Garmin products, including smartwatches and wearables, health-tracking devices, dash cams and dedicated GPS satellite navigation (sat nav) displays.

From entry-level options to premium products that cost upwards of AU$1,000, there's something for everyone. The good news is I've seen upwards of 50% off on various Garmin tech, and occasionally even more for some older models.

To break this down a little more, I've seen the flagship-like Garmin Epix Pro 2 go for half price from just this year, while some older models like the Forerunner 955 and the Vivoactive 5 get some hefty price cuts, too.

Other products will get some discounts too, like dashcams and GPS sat nav displays, albeit for smaller price cuts compared to the wearables. Amazon also stocks a limited range, but there’s still plenty to go around.

How to choose the best Garmin watch for you

When choosing a Garmin watch, there are three key points to consider: what sport you’re interested in, what level you are at, and your budget.

If you're starting your fitness journey and want a watch to help improve your habits, that's fantastic – a Venu watch will suit you perfectly. They're small and discreet, making them great for all-day wear, and they offer a good range of general fitness tracking tools.

Want something cheaper? The Garmin Vivoactive 6 will work very nicely for beginner runners and all forms of exercise, like fitness classes, and it's also great for sleeping in, as it's nice and light.

If you’re a little bit further into your journey and now enjoy serious running, cycling, swimming or all of the above, the Forerunner 570 and 970 are superb triathlon watches that will serve you well. Worried about scuffs and scratches? Take a look at the Instinct line; they’re built like tanks and have incredible battery life.

If you're seriously into your training and want the most profound insights into your health and fitness, the Fenix 8, Epix Gen 2 and their newer Pro variations are excellent choices. The Fenix 8 is perfect if you want to explore new routes, as its high-res OLED display is brilliant for mapping.

What’s the best beginner Garmin running watch?

Beginners just starting their running journey are likely going to run shorter distances without worrying about complex running metrics. They'll also want to make a smaller investment, buying a cheaper running watch.

We recommend the Garmin Forerunner 165 for under AU$400, thanks to its reliable GPS tracking, heart-rate monitoring and easy-to-understand pace, distance and training data. If you’re on a budget, the Forerunner 55 is a solid choice — in fact, some top-tier pros still choose it!

Garmin’s other watches are also excellent options, but they're packed with features that many beginner runners might not need at first, such as full-colour maps, recovery insights and training plans.
