Sports Tech & Fitness Best Deals List 2024

I’ve organized all the best sports technology deals below in the tables by category. I’ll be updating them throughout November & December. Keep in mind not all deals last (especially over Black Friday weekend when Amazon themselves will briefly run deals beyond approved manufacturer deals). So if you see something that’s hot, I’d strongly suggest buy now (and return later if need be).

With that, onto the deals! And thanks for supporting the site via the links below. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Enjoy!

Europe Folks Note: I’m working on adding your deals, it’s messy as always. Almost all of the below are US.

Watches & Wearables:

This covers anything you can wear that’s watch-like or activity band-like, including sensors.  Generally speaking, you’ll mostly find deals here that are on things I’ve written about in the past.  So you won’t find a deal on some random non-sports tech watch here, or on socks. Unless the socks have some crazy sensor or something in them.

Product Sale Price Amazon Other site Sale Notes
Apple Watch Series 10 – $50 off
$399/$499 (cellular)
$349
Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium – $75 off $725 This is a nice little deal for this unit which just came out.
Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch – 22% off $179 This was just announced this summer, and is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification.
Fitbit Charge 6 – 38% off!
$159
$99 This is the go-to sale price for the Fitbit Charge 6. It happens often, but it still doesn’t take away from the fast that it’s argueably the best bang for your buck fitness tracker out there.
Fitbit Inspire 3 – $30 off $69
Fitbit Sense 2 – $70 off $179
Fitbit Versa 4 – $40 off $119
Garmin Epix Pro Series – 20% off!
$899/$999
$649 ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Epix Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back (Epix as a brand was merged into the Fenix 8 branding). Still, if you don’t care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal.
Garmin Epix Sapphire/Titanium (Gen 2) – $400+ off! $399-$429 ⚡⚡⚡ This is a crazy super strong deal. Note the Epix received all of the software updates of the Epix Pro. This deal keeps floating between $399 and $429 – frankly, at either price it’s an awesome deal.
Garmin Fenix 7 Pro – 31% off (All Variants)
$799+
$549+ ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back. Still, if you don’t care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal.
Garmin Forerunner 165 Music – $50 off! $249 This is the first time we’ve head a meaningful sale on the Forerunner 165, released earlier this year, down to $249 for the Music edition, and $199 for the non-music edition.
Garmin Forerunner 255/255S – $100 off $249 This is Garmin’s mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics.
Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music – $100 off!
$349/$399
$299 This is Garmin’s mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music.
Garmin Forerunner 265 – $100 off $349 This is the first time we’ve seen the Forerunner 265 on sale, and it’s solidly priced right now at $349
Garmin Forerunner 265s – $100 off $349 This is the first time we’ve seen the Forerunner 265 on sale, and it’s solidly priced right now at $349
Garmin Forerunner 955 – $100ish off! $399 This is one of Garmin’s most popular running watches, and it’s down to a very strong price. I often use this in my accuracy testing comparisons when validating other watches, due to it’s very strong GPS performance. Note this is the base edition without solar. It’d be hard to find any better deal in sports watches today, from any company (given this has full mapping, tons of new features even this week, etc…). I say ‘$100ish’, because it’s usually been on forever sale at $499, so $399 is a strong price, though, it dipped to $319 for Amazon Prime Day.
Garmin Forerunner 965 – $50 off! $499 This is the lowest price we’ve seen ever on the Forerunner 965, since it’s launch. It’s still Garmin’s top-end Forerunner watch, and I expect it to stay that way for a while. It’s one I often use in comparative testing as a reference device.
Garmin Instinct 2X – $100 off! $349 This is a solid deal. Garmin Instinct 2X – $100 off!It’s best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, as it has almost enough features to really be more of an Instinct 3 (which doesn’t exist at this point).
Garmin Tactix 7 Pro – 20% off $1,049 This is the largest discount we’ve seen to date on the Tactix 7 Pro unit. Note the other Tactix 7 Pro units/variants are also on sale for 20% off too (this link takes you to all of them).

Cycling Gear & Trainers:

Got a bike? Then this section is for you.  Everything from bike computers to bike lights to trainers, it’s all here.  I won’t generally be adding things like brake cables or bike seats here, but if I find a good deal on a cassette to stack on that new direct drive trainer you just bought, I’ll probably list it here.

Garmin Edge 1040 Cycling GPS – $100 off! $499 This is a good deal, especially since it’s gotten virtually all of the Edge 1050 updates, and then a boatload more. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me to see this drop further to $449, as it did this past summer.
Garmin Edge 540 – $100 off $249 ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Garmin Edge 540 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is kinda an insane deal for this unit.
Garmin Edge 540 Solar – $100 off $349 This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Garmin Edge 540 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well.
Garmin Edge 840 – $100 off $349 ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Garmin Edge 840 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is one of my main units I use daily.
Garmin Edge 840 Solar – $100 off $449 This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Garmin Edge 840 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well.
Garmin Edge Explore 2 – $40 off
$299
$269 This is a great little unit, though, with the sales on the Edge 540 and 840 series, you might want to look at those instead.

And then here’s a separate bucket for trainers and indoor bikes:

Product Sale Price Amazon Other site Sale Notes
Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer – $200ish off
$899
$499 I mean, I guess. Really, I don’t see why anyone would buy this trainer at any price above $299. With the JetBlack Victory at $399 being more accurate, quiter, including WiFi, including Zwift Cog support (or mechanical cassette), including dual-Bluetooth, including Race Mode, and…one could go on and on.
Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer – $200-$300 off
$1,399
$899 This is the go-to sales price for the NEO 2T, though has become more frequent over the past year. It’s still an incredible trainer, and is the top-end non-moving trainer from Garmin/Tacx.
Wahoo KICKR CORE Zwift One (COG V2) + Play Controllers
$499
$499 This package includes the KICKR CORE with the Zwift V2 Cog, but notably now also includes the Zwift Play controllers. Basically, this saves you about $100 or so, and is the first time we’ve seen them bundle it.
Wahoo KICKR MOVE – $300 off!
$1,599
$999 ⚡⚡ This is actually a very solid deal, and the first time we’ve seen this discounted. In fact, frankly, this is the first time in years it feels like Wahoo is actually doing a legit sale on something. Kudos.
Wahoo KICKR ROLLR – $100 off
$599
$499
Wahoo KICKR SNAP – Lowest Price Ever
$499
$199 This is lowest we’ve ever seen the KICKR SNAP priced. While the trend has moved towards wheel-off/direct drive trainers, this is still really solid deal if your budget it tight. That said, if you’re in Europe, Decathlon has the D100 on sale for $199 also, and in my testing, I’d go with that almost every time.

Action Cameras & Drones:

Wanna record it?  No better way than an action camera.  Anything that’s action camera-related or drone-related, you’ll find here.  That’s especially true of action camera mounts, which are often found for great deals around the holidays.  Same goes with drones and drone accessories.  Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.

GoPro Hero 12 Black – $100 off! $299 The new Hero 13 just came out, which mostly just adds a bunch of new accessory options. If you don’t plan to purchase those accessories, then this is a solid deal.
GoPro Hero 13 Black Bundle – $60 OFF! $339 This is the first time we have seen the newly announced GoPro Hero 13 Black on sale. Solid deal, this is my daily use action cam!
Insta360 Ace Pro Action Cam – $50 off $299 This is the previous edition, as the Ace Pro 2 just came out a few weeks back, but this is still a very solid camera from a year ago.
Insta360 GO 3S Tiny 4K Action Camera – $60 off! $239 This is a great deal for this tiny little thing, which should really be named the Go 4, given how many new features it has (including 4K). It also has all the Insta360 sport integration features with Garmin & Apple, to overlay your Garmin/Apple data automatically on your footage.

Other Sports & Fitness:

Anything else that’s sports and fitness related that I think is interesting will be here.  It may not be super techy – but it’s stuff that most readers will be using in pursuit of their running/cycling/swimming/hiking/whatever.

There are no deals currently.

DCR Random Gadget List:

This is basically the mostly totally unrelated gadgets and things I think are cool deals that I’ve likely bought one or five of (you can never have too many, right)?  Some of it’s probably photography stuff.  Some of it’s random stuff like chargers and battery packs that I use daily, fun camera gear I use to make videos like sliders and turntables, and well…just random things you’ll find around the DCR Cave.  It’s all random…but it’s all awesome randomness!

Jackery Portable Power Station – $60 off! $199 This is something I use frequently when shooting out and about and I need to re-charge a crapton of drone batteries, action cameras, or just cameras and such. I also use it on trips to Eurobike and elsewhere to keep equipment charged. I’ve even bought a solar panel to hook up to it (surprisingly effective). Heck, I’ve even powered a KICKR trainer ride from it!

With that – thanks for reading, and for supporting the site via the links above.
