The Best Garmin Watch Deals for Labor Day
Garmin running and fitness watches are among the many items on sale this Labor Day weekend. We’ll be tracking deals on everything else here , but for now, let’s focus on watches. Unfortunately, the newest Garmin models aren’t discounted, but now is a great time to pick up slightly older models at a discount. Here are the ones I’d consider if I were buying a new Garmin watch today.
The Best Garmin Fitness Watch Deals for Labor Day
The Garmin Venu 3 fitness watch is on sale at an all-time low: $291.90 for the larger 45mm version in black. It’s a fully featured fitness watch with morning reports, ECG readings, and a 14-day battery life. Its original retail price was $449.99, and it typically doesn’t drop below $350 during sales.

This weekend, the Vivoactive 5 is on sale for $181.97, which , according to price tracking tools , is one of its lowest prices ever. When it first released, it cost $299.99, and now, since it’s no longer the newest model, it typically retails for around $229.99. I’ve long considered the Vivoactive 5 one of Garmin’s most underrated watches . It has a sleek, lightweight design and a touchscreen that makes it easy to use, but still has physical buttons for starting and stopping workouts. I found its heart rate and location accuracy to be very good.
Garmin Forerunner Deals for Labor Day
The Garmin Forerunner line is specifically aimed at runners, but is excellent for all types of fitness. The Forerunner 965 , originally released in 2023, was the top-of-the-line model and remains an excellent choice. It features maps and a wealth of running analytics for exploring after workouts. It’s currently on sale for $499.99, with the regular price being $599.99.

Should you have sales on Labor Day?
Labor Day is traditionally a good time to find deals on many product categories, but whether it’s worth it depends entirely on what you’re looking for. Compared to sales like Black Friday or Prime Day, Labor Day offers fewer deals in terms of quantity and quality, but you can still find great deals on appliances and kitchen equipment that will match those holiday prices—or even be lower. (We use price tracking tools to let you know whether a deal is worth it.)
