Save early at Target — shop 42+ early Black Friday deals on Apple, Bose, and Garmin

The new Garmin Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro watches have recently been released, leading to Black Friday sales that offer great deals on the older Garmin Fenix 8 and Fenix 8 Pro models. I have tested every Fenix and Epix model since the Fenix 5 Pro, and a fantastic deal on the Garmin Fenix 8 is already available on Amazon. You can currently purchase the 47mm version of the Garmin Fenix 8 for $755, which is very close to its lowest price ever of $749.

Though widespread discounts on the entire Fenix 8 lineup have not yet been announced, this 47mm watch is significantly discounted at $755 on Amazon right now, with only 18 units left in stock, so you should act quickly to take advantage of this offer.

After testing the Garmin Fenix 8 during my runs for two marathons, I can confidently say that it's an exceptional choice for amateur athletes and adventurers. Sporting a durable and attractive design, it offers reliable and accurate sports tracking, comprehensive training analysis, and the best-in-class maps and navigation features.

Most importantly, it includes virtually all the key features found in the newer Fenix 8 Pro and Fenix 9 models, which are rolling back to the Fenix 8 through updates. Although the Fenix 8 Pro and Fenix 9 Pro offer some exclusive extras, such as LTE and satellite connectivity, and a full titanium case on the Fenix 9 Pro, the Fenix 8 largely matches the new models in terms of main features.

Given the substantial cost savings due to this Black Friday deal, I strongly believe the Garmin Fenix 8 is a more value-for-money purchase.
