I’ve got a special love for the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2), as I’ve said elsewhere on this site. It’s the watch I used to train for and eventually run the London Marathon, and I’d recommend it to every hobbyist runner out there. It’s now cheaper than it’s ever been, and considering the amount of features it’s got, I’d recommend buying it even though it’s not Amazon Prime Day yet.

However, the deal’s not even on Amazon: it’s actually at jewelry retailer H Samuel, which has been selling the now-discontinued running favorite for so long that I was sure it would have run out of stock by now. However, the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) is now on sale for £299.99 at H Samuel (was £349.99, formerly £739.99).
This offshoot of Garmin’s ultra-powerful Fenix line is now less than the price of a Garmin Forerunner 170 Music, an Apple Watch Series 11, or a Google Pixel Watch 4. Check out the deal in full below.

Don’t let its age fool you: its up-to-date parts sport accurate metrics. Even though it will now receive only security updates and bug fixes rather than new features, its hardware is rock-solid. It packs Garmin’s most powerful heart rate sensor, the Elevate V5, which is also used on the current-gen Fenix 8.
It’s great for skiing and golfing, with thousands of preloaded route maps. I actually used its mapping software during marathon training, as I created a street map of my London route in the Garmin Connect app, loaded it onto my watch, and it guided me turn by turn around a 20-mile route. If I went off-course, it rerouted me.
All this with fantastic battery life, health tracking, and a rugged, adventure-proof exterior. It’s even got Garmin’s LED torch in its casing.
It’s definitely the best-value Garmin right now: I’d get it now rather than wait for it to sell out. However, you might not be looking for a large, rugged watch: you might be after something slimmer, like a Fitbit or an Apple Watch. In which case, I have another deal I can recommend: the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is now £149.99 (was £209.99) at Amazon, the lowest price ever.
