Garmin Sales FAQ
When does Garmin have its biggest sales?
Garmin runs major discounts during Black Friday (late November), which consistently delivers the deepest price cuts of the year. You'll also see strong deals during Memorial Day (late May), Father's Day (mid-June), and Amazon's Prime Day (July) plus Prime Big Deal Days (October).
How much discount can I expect during Garmin sales?
Discounts vary by model and timing. During Prime Day and Black Friday, you can find 20-45% off most watches. Memorial Day and Father's Day sales frequently offer $100-200 off premium models. Newer releases (under 6 months old) rarely see discounts beyond 10%, while older-generation watches can drop 40-50%.
Should I buy from Garmin.com or Amazon during sales?
Both platforms have advantages. Amazon frequently beats Garmin's direct pricing during Prime Day and Black Friday, with discounts reaching 47% on older models. However, Garmin.com sometimes offers exclusive bundles or early access to sales. Compare prices on both sites before buying, and check major retailers like REI and Best Buy too.
Do prices drop when Garmin launches a new watch?
Yes. When Garmin releases a new model, the previous generation usually sees immediate markdowns of $100-350 across major retailers. For example, when the Fenix 8 launched, the Epix Pro dropped from $899 to $550 at many stores. If you don't need the latest features, waiting for a new release announcement is a smart move.
Can students get a discount on Garmin watches?
Yes. Garmin offers a 20% student discount on select smartwatches and wearables through Student Beans and UNiDAYS. You'll need to verify your student status, and the discount applies to US purchases only. Note that newly launched watches (under 60 days old) are usually excluded from this program.
Does Garmin offer any year-round discounts?
Beyond the student program, some health insurance companies provide Garmin discounts through wellness programs. Check with providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield or apps like Optimity for potential savings. Military and government employees can access special pricing through GovX, though availability varies by model.
What's the difference between Garmin's Spring Sale and Memorial Day Sale?
The Annual Spring Sale (mid-May) is Garmin's most predictable major discount event outside Black Friday, with up to $200 off premium models like the Fenix 8 and Edge 1050. The Memorial Day Sale (late May weekend) follows closely and sometimes overlaps, offering similar discounts. Both focus on fitness watches and are US-market events.
Are Garmin sales available worldwide?
Major US sales like Memorial Day and Father's Day are primarily US-focused, though global retailers run their own promotions. Black Friday sees worldwide participation with regional variations. Asia-Pacific markets get region-specific sales like Lunar New Year deals, while European sites run separate campaigns.
How long do Garmin sales usually last?
Weekend events like Father's Day and Memorial Day run 3-7 days. Black Friday sales start the week before Thanksgiving and extend through Cyber Monday (about 10 days total). Amazon Prime Day lasts 48 hours but Garmin deals sometimes continue for several days after.
Is it worth waiting for Black Friday to buy a Garmin watch?
If you can wait, Black Friday delivers the year's best pricing on most Garmin models, especially watches over 6 months old. However, if you need a watch sooner, the Spring Sale (May) or a new-model launch discount offer comparable savings. For brand-new releases, you'll likely see minimal discounts regardless of timing.
