Amazon slashes over $100 off the prices of multiple Garmin Watch models

By Albert Bassili Published April 21, 2022

Smartwatches are pretty great all around, whether it’s using them as a fitness tracker, a supplementary device with your smartphone, or just as a watch with a changeable face. To that end, if you’re looking to upgrade your life with a smartwatch by checking out smartwatch deals, these two offered by Amazon, which slash over $100 off the price of two different Garmin smartwatches, are great. These aren’t the only Garmin Watch deals around, but they’re no doubt some of the best.

Garmin Instinct – $169, was $300

If you’re into physical fitness, then the Garmin Instinct is a great little smartwatch that provides all the essential tech you need to go out, adventure, and experience the world, and with a $130.77 discount lowering its price to just $169.22, it’s a pretty big steal. For example, not only does it have a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter, but it also supports a variety of position systems, including GPS, Glonass, and Galileo. It’s also built to the 810G military standard to resist some shock, heat, and submersion (up to 100meters according to the specs). Finally, it has a heart rate monitor as well as training with preloaded activity profiles when you’re out so that you can focus on your workout.

Overall, it’s a pretty rugged smartwatch for those with an active lifestyle.

Pumping up from the Instinct, the Garmin Fenix Pro 6 comes ready for a fight, and with a $170 reduction in price down to $479 from $649, it’s probably one of the best smartwatch deals you’re going to find if you’re into fitness. For example, it has an improved estimated heart rate sensor as well as a pulse-ox sensor to help figure out how your high-altitude training is going and how your overall sleep quality is. It also has better training features, such as the Pace Pro, and boasts up to 10 days battery on GPS and music mode, with 14 days battery on smartwatch mode. It also has many of the same features as the Instinct, such as the three different positioning systems support (GPS, Glonass, and Galileo). Along with the above additions, it even has Garmin Pay for contactless payments.

Our pick for the best soundbar under $500 is over 50% off at Amazon

Yamaha YAS-209

While surround-sound home theaters are great, they tend to be quite expensive and take up a lot of room, so there is a significant downside to grabbing a set. Luckily, soundbars are an excellent alternative because they're relatively-well priced and they don't take up a lot of space at all. One of the better options out there is the Yamaha Audio YAS-209BL, which is even at the top of our list for best soundbars under $500, so we're very happy to see it get a significant discount from $350 down to just $160 on Amazon.

Why you should buy the Yamaha Audio YAS-209BL
When we reviewed it, we felt that it was one of the best soundbars on the market and that "the Yamaha YAS-209 is everything you need in a soundbar, plus a bunch of features you didn’t know you wanted." For example, since Alexa is built into the soundbar, you can ask it to do pretty much anything you want without having to use your phone and navigate through a menu. While it doesn't have things like Spotify on it, the YAS-209BL can easily get you going with your favorite podcasts and music with Spotify Connect through either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so it really is quite versatile.
