I collect Garmins like Thanos collects gems — here are 9 Garmins I've worn, would recommend, and are on sale at Amazon right now

I love getting outside into nature, and in my opinion, the best Garmin watches make for the best outdoor companions overall. You get your fitness and activity tracking, maps and navigations, safety features like flashlights and LiveTrack to let others know your location, and much more.

Normally I'd recommend waiting until Amazon Prime Day (running from June 23 to June 26) to buy one of these, but there are already great deals on offer. A few standouts are saving $110 on the excellent Garmin Vivoactive 5 fitness tracker, ideal for those who love the gym as much as the outdoors, or 25% off the five-star Garmin Fenix 8.

There's a half-price deal on the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) here that looks incredible ($500 off!) and it's a stellar (albeit older) watch that I believe is the best value Garmin you can get right now. We see a lot of big discounts on this watch, but it's a lowest-ever price according to our deals checking tool. If you're after a Garmin powerhouse on the cheap it's well worth considering over the more modern, more expensive Fenix 8.
