When will the Black Friday Garmin deals start in 2024?

Black Friday officially begins on November 29th this year, but the fight for your hard-earned cash and attention means that retailers start their discounts earlier and earlier with every passing year.

As such, we're already seeing big deals on offer at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and UK outlets including Argos and John Lewis.

The end of sales is clearer cut, with most of the discounts ending on Cyber Monday, December 2. We'll be keeping track of all the sales in the run-up to the event and during the sales itself, tracking prices and stock so that you don't have to.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Garmin?

When it comes to low prices and the range of devices on offer, Black Friday is definitely the best time of year to buy a Garmin. You're going to get the most choice because that's when the largest range of models is on offer. What's more, as the biggest sales event of the year it almost always yields the most generous discounts, which means more savings for you.

What Black Friday Garmin deals should I expect?

It's safe to say that we can expect discounts across the entire Garmin range, including its smartwatch and fitness trackers, golf companions, and even its cycling range. Last year Black Friday saw discounts on many debut models from 2023 including the Garmin Forerunner 265, Forerunner 965, Venu 3, Garmin Fenix 7 Pro, and the Epix Pro.

This year is shaping up to be even better. Black Friday's a little over a week away, and we've seen tons of deals already, and expecting further discounts on the Forerunner 55, Instinct 2 and Fenix 7. We're also keeping an eye out on the newer models. We'd love to see some big savings on the new Garmin Fenix 8 and the new cheaper Forerunner 165.
