As Prime Day has drawn to a close, this deal has now ended. To find an alternative, we have compiled a roundup of the best cycling watches on the market, so check that out for help on choosing the right one.
Alternatively, you can head straight to Amazon's listing page for Garmin smartwatches to see which models remain discounted.

While it doesn't have quite the mania of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday festival of commercialism, confined as it is to a single (if admittedly massive) retailer, Amazon's Prime Day does still throw up some great details if you know where to look. Fortunately, we know where to look so you don't have to.
We think, so far, this deal on Garmin's range-topping Epix smartwatch is the best of the bunch with a whopping 50% off for those of you residing in the USA. Using tools that track the historical price of products on Amazon, we can also say for certain that this is as cheap as the Epix has ever been, a full $50 cheaper than its previous low over the Black Friday weekend last year.
This deal has seemingly been switched on and off multiple times in the last 24hrs, so if you're considering taking the plunge it's probably best to do it now before it gets switched off again. If it does turn off don't fret, just check back later in the day and it may have come back.
The Epix is Garmin's top-tier smartwatch, and while the standard 2nd Gen Epix is beaten slightly on specs by the newer Epix Pro, all you get on the more premium model is a built-in flashlight (ok, Batman...) and a variety of size options, while the standard Epix only comes in a single size.
The fitness and training features are otherwise identical, with both featuring a bright AMOLED screen and everything from respiration and hydration tracking to sleep and stress trackers.
In short, this is about as good a deal as you're likely to find on a watch that is about as good as they get on the market at the moment. If you want to peruse all the Garmin deals from Prime Day we've gone and compiled them onto one page.
Amazon does occasionally have form for artificially inflating the RRP in order to make the discounts seem bigger, but the RRP listed on Amazon ($899.99) is identical to the price listed if you were to buy directly from Garmin, so even more reason to suggest that this deal is all above board.
Now, it's only a good deal if you were considering buying it anyway, and even at half off it's still a fair wedge of cash. With that in mind, there are a few other smartwatch deals for both the USA and the UK that aren't so hard on the wallet for those of you who don't actually need the full suite of features that the Epix offers.
