Black Friday 2025, falling on 28 November, is once again drawing shoppers into the old ritual of the hunt for a bargain, and talkSPORT's guide sets out what a Garmin buyer might expect as the month unfolds. The writers are careful to call this a preview rather than a record of sales that have already happened, since no one can yet know which prices will fall.

Garmin Black Friday 2025: What to Expect from This Year's Smartwatch Sales
Discounts now begin as early as the start of the month
Mark
So what is this piece actually telling people?
Mimi
That Garmin watches will probably be discounted around Black Friday on 28 November, and that waiting for the day itself may not be necessary, since sales now start early in the month.
Luke
"Probably" matters. The guide admits it can't say for certain Garmin will be discounted. It's an expectation based on past years.
Mark
Which retailers does it name?
Mimi
Amazon, Argos, Currys and Very, as likely sellers. Right now it lists real offers at H.Samuel and Argos.
Luke
Those current prices are the concrete part: Venu 2 at £179, Forerunner 165 at £199.99, Approach S12 at £109.99. But they're snapshots from publication, and I can't tell you they'll hold or what the Black Friday price will be.
Mark
And the recommendations?
Mimi
They come from talkSPORT's own testers. The Forerunner 165 Music is their top pick, the Fenix 8 for rugged outdoor use.
Luke
Worth remembering that's one outlet's testing, and the reviews quoted are single customer comments, not a broad sample.
Mark
What's the most useful tip?
Mimi
Consider older models. They may be cheaper with little difference in features, and compare prices because retailers compete.
O Pulso
- Black Friday 2025 lands on 28 November, but retailers are already teasing discounts that could arrive weeks early.
- Shoppers face a crowded field of Garmin sellers at Argos, Amazon, Currys and Very, each competing for the same wrists.
- Current deals already tempt buyers, with the Venu 2 at £179 and the Forerunner 165 at £199.99 cutting prices by up to half.
- Stock may vanish quickly, so the guide urges readers to decide on a model early, compare prices, and consider slightly older watches for deeper cuts.
Black Friday 2025, falling on 28 November, is once again drawing shoppers into the old ritual of the hunt for a bargain, and talkSPORT's guide sets out what a Garmin buyer might expect as the month unfolds. The writers are careful to call this a preview rather than a record of sales that have already happened, since no one can yet know which prices will fall. Still, the pattern is familiar: discounts now begin weeks ahead of the day itself, and a watch chosen with care can outlast the moment of its purchase. The advice, in the end, is to know what you need, compare what is on offer, and remember that the cheapest tag is not always the wisest choice.
Black Friday 2025 arrives on Friday, 28 November, and talkSPORT's shopping desk is already preparing readers for a Garmin sale that may begin well before the day itself. The guide is honest about its limits: it cannot promise that Garmin watches will be discounted, though it considers the likelihood very high. Garmin has joined the sale in past years, and big sellers like Amazon, Argos, Currys and Very are expected to follow.
The calendar has shifted. Discounts that once appeared only on the day now start early in the month, and many retailers hold their prices for the length of the sale. Others save their deepest cuts for Black Friday and Cyber Weekend.
For those who cannot wait, several offers already stand out. The Venu 2 is £179 at H.Samuel, down from £349.99, while the Forerunner 165 at Argos has dropped to £199.99 from £249. Readers looking for golf can find the Approach S12 at £109.99 at Argos. Reviewers praise the Forerunner 165 as a lightweight, capable running companion, and the Fenix 8 is recommended for demanding outdoor use.
The advice is practical: do not wait until the last minute, pick a model before browsing, compare prices, and consider a slightly older watch for a larger saving. talkSPORT says it will keep the guide updated with fresh deals through November.
Black Friday 2025 lands on Friday, 28 November, and talkSPORT's shopping desk is already telling readers what to expect if a Garmin smartwatch is on their list. The guide is a preview, not a report of confirmed sales, and it says so: it is impossible to say for certain that Garmin watches will be discounted, though the likelihood is described as very high.
The reasoning is simple. Garmin has taken part in the sale in past years, and many stockists join the global shopping event. The guide points readers to Amazon, Argos, Currys and Very, all described as big on Black Friday deals and likely to include Garmin devices in their price cuts.
The calendar has also changed. Black Friday offers once appeared only on the day itself, but discounts now begin as early as the start of the month. Many retailers lock in prices for the length of the sale, giving shoppers time. Some use a tiered approach instead, saving the deepest cuts for Black Friday and the Cyber Weekend.
On which watch to buy, talkSPORT leans on its own testing. The Garmin Forerunner 165 Music was ranked best overall in its roundup of fitness watches and trackers. Its tester called it extremely lightweight and comfortable, packed with useful features and training plans, and a real bargain at under £240. The Forerunner 165 and 265 are named as popular picks for novice and intermediate runners, both with AMOLED touchscreens and heart rate, SpO2 and GPS tracking.
For outdoor and multi-sport users, the guide recommends the Garmin Fenix 8, which it calls premium and rugged, strong on durability and navigation. Its reviewer said that for anyone serious about fitness or outdoor adventuring it is worth the money, adding that they don't believe better can be found elsewhere. For everyday life and health tracking, the new Garmin Venu X1 is suggested, thanks to its range of sports, health and sleep metrics.
Readers who don't want to wait can look at current offers. The Garmin Venu 2 with black silicone strap is £179 at H.Samuel, down from £349.99, a saving of just under 50%. It is GPS-ready and offers up to 11 days of battery life. At Argos, the Forerunner 165 GPS running watch is £199.99, down from £249, a £49 saving. It focuses on pace, distance, heart rate and VO2 Max, and includes the PacePro feature for planning long runs or race days. Also at Argos, the Approach S12 33mm golf watch is £109.99, down from £179, a £69 saving, and comes preloaded with 42,000 courses.
The guide quotes five-star reviews for each: one buyer said of the Venu 2 that Garmin never fails and it arrived on time; another replaced an old Garmin that had finally died and liked that the Forerunner does lots without being too complicated; a golfer said the S12 had helped with club selection.
The advice is practical. Don't leave it until the last minute, because sales start early and stock can sell out. Know which model you want before browsing, since variants are plentiful. Compare prices, as rival retailers will be competing. And consider slightly older models, which may carry deeper discounts without much difference in features. talkSPORT says it will keep updating the guide with fresh deals through November.
