Garmin's timepieces have emerged as a favorite among aficionados, owing to their impeccable GPS accuracy and a wealth of beneficial running statistics they generate. Their design emphasizes convenience in use during a run, with real physical buttons as opposed to the less practical touchscreen swipe mechanism, making them particularly appealing to runners.

Those considering a transition from another smartwatch brand and curious to know what they have been missing, today could be the day to take a leap of faith. One of Garmin's most sought-after models, the Forerunner 945, is available with an impressive 36% discount as part of Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days.

Originally retailing for $499.99, the Forerunner 945 can be purchased for only $319.99 today. The model offers desirable features like music download capability and comprehensive color maps to guide runners on their routes. It tracks important running statistics like a runner's lactate threshold, weekly mileage, additionally offering workout suggestions and Strava segment notifications.

The Forerunner 945 provides a battery lifespan of 10 hours with music and high-accuracy GPS on simultaneously, an impressive 60 hours in UltraTrac power-saving mode, and a robust 2-week duration in general smartwatch use. It's also marketed as a triathlon watch, enabling usage for swim and bike workouts along with running.

For those who like the features of the Forerunner 945 but can compromise on storage, the Forerunner 745, a 30% markdown, would be ideal. It is another top-selling running watch from Garmin and shares most of the Forerunner 945's primary functionalities. The main difference lies in storage capacity and battery life—the Forerunner 745 offers 4 GB of storage for music and maps and lasts six hours with GPS and music, 30 hours in power-saving mode, and one week of general use.

Other discounted Garmin watches are also available for sale today. The Garmin Instinct, typically priced at $399.99, is available for only $279.99. Developed with meticulous attention to durability and an added feature of solar charging, the Instinct is perfect for those who lead adventurous outdoorsy lives and need a hard-wearing watch.
