Despite its age, the Garmin Venu 2 currently sits at the top of our best Garmin watch list. It's a phenomenal, five-star watch and a great buy even at its full price of $399.99 or £349.99. However, right now it's down 37% in the US, $250.57 at Amazon, and 30% in the UK, at £257.99 at Amazon.
These are terrific discounts on a phenomenal watch, and well worth considering if you or someone you know is planning on picking up a new running watch in 2024.

Garmin Venu 2 GPS smartwatch:
US: was $399 now $250.57 at Amazon
UK: was £368.99 now £257.99 at Amazon
Garmin's best-ever-scoring all-rounder smartwatch may soon be superseded by its sequel, the Venu 3, but at the price of an Apple Watch SE, you gain a glut of highly advanced GPS tools, amazing workout tracking, a great-looking AMOLED screen, and outstanding health metrics. Save 37% in the US and 30% in the UK on a top-tier Garmin.
Why is this a good deal?
Even though the Garmin Venu 3 is out now and getting rave reviews (including 4.5 stars from us) we gave the Venu 2 the full five stars, citing it as the perfect all-round smartwatch with outstanding fitness metrics. In our review, we said it's great as it "balances advanced workout tracking tools with essential everyday apps to create a smartwatch for all occasions".
If you enjoy running, cycling, swimming, or other outdoor pursuits but still want a useful smartwatch with notifications, calls, and a third-party app store, this is the watch for you.
At this price, it's better value than even the best Apple Watch. I've been reviewing fitness technology for years, and I firmly believe if someone was looking to, for example, get into running or cycling in 2024, they would be hard-pressed to pick up a better watch for the money than this.
