Amazon’s Big Smile Sale is well underway with excellent deals across the entire store. That includes some of our favourite tech, like the great smartwatch range from Garmin, with the company’s handy wrist trackers discounted by up to 46% off.

Garmin offers great value and quality, with its Instinct range a particular favourite among folks looking for a heavy-duty fitness companion. It’s not all about physical activity tracking with Garmin though – the Lily offers a nice aesthetic without the rugged design for the more delicate wrist while also adding some women’s health monitoring features.

So to set you up for your next smartwatch, I’ve found the best Garmin deals on offer this Big Smile Sale. Most of these aren’t at all-time low prices (the Venu 3S beat out its Black Friday price just slightly!), but they’re still worth the consideration, especially if you want an Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch alternative.

Garmin Epix Pro 2
Garmin Epix Pro 2: was AU$1,849 now AU$999 at Amazon

Save AU$850

The headline feature here is that AMOLED display – it's absolutely stunning! But it's also the ultimate outdoor watch, with a built-in torch, practically all kinds of activity tracking (including surfing and skiing), and packed full of features with up to 31 days of battery life. It's the ultimate Garmin with the whopper of a price tag, but at 46% off, the 51mm Epix Pro 2 is much more appealing.

Garmin Instinct 2 (Electric Lime)

Save AU$200

This is a smartwatch deal you can't ignore. Offering a brilliant tough design, excellent GPS tracking, useful training tools and an epic battery life, we proudly handed this watch an Editor's Choice seal of approval in our Garmin Instinct 2 review. If you're OK with the lime colour scheme and medium (45mm) size, this is one of the best Garmin smartwatch deals of the Big Smile Sale – though we saw it slightly cheaper during Black Friday 2024. There’s not much stock left for the Electric Lime Instinct 2, but if you miss out, the graphite camo model is down to AU$359 and the smaller Garmin Instinct 2S is down to AU$340.50.

The 'S' here refers to its smaller 41mm size, but it's still ideal for all wrists. The French Gray colour (pictured) is currently unavailable, only the 45mm Black option is going for this discounted price.
