If you’re looking for a versatile, well-balanced Garmin watch for multiple types of training, then you need to check out the sale on the Forerunner 265. We named it our “best overall” pick in our guide to fitness trackers. The Forerunner 265 is strong enough to handle strength training, yet light enough for long distance running (it weighs under 50 grams). The price point of the Forerunner 265 was a huge sell for us too. It retails for $450, which isn’t the cheapest watch, but the overall value you get for the 265’s mid-tier pricing makes it well worth the investment. The fact it’s only 10 percent off in this sale doesn’t necessarily make it out best deal, but $50 off a watch that already packs a ton of value is definitely worth a look.

Just check out it’s library of features. You get heart rate variability (HRV), zone training, and even sleep tracking. New to the Forerunner 265 is also Garmin’s Training Readiness, which used to only be available on more expensive Garmin watch models. Training Readiness is fun to have because it takes into account metrics like sleep score, recovery time, acute training load, HRV status, and more to determine when your body is best suited for a hard workout—and when you might need to dial it back for the day so your training doesn’t become counter productive.
