  "account": "The Garmin Fenix 9 has just been unveiled, but the previous generation Garmin Fenix 8 is already seeing price drops. Amazon is offering some of the lowest-ever prices on the Garmin Fenix 8 range during the Labor Day sales. The 43mm Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED is discounted from $999.99 to $749.99, a 25% saving and the cheapest Fenix 8 has ever been on Amazon. The 43mm size is available only in Silver and Whitestone colors, while the black models cost more. The larger 47mm and 51mm models have savings as well, with increased battery life. The Labor Day sales also include a deal on the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro with inReach, which allows satellite messaging for a subscription and can connect to a phone's data plan. Both the 47mm and 51mm versions are available for the same price, with larger sizes providing more battery life.",
