If you’ve been looking for a way to stay fit while getting away from it all (a wise idea during a pandemic), we might have found the wristwear you’re looking for. Garmin’s Instinct outdoor watch in graphite is currently on sale for $149.99 ($150 off), or half its official price. Other color variants are available with smaller discounts.
It’s one of the better deals you’ll find in our Black Friday smartwatch deal hub, although it’s not certain how long the offer will last. You might want to act quickly on the Garmin Instinct sale if you’re either finding a gift for the nature-lover in your life or looking to improve your own health.

The Instinct is practically tailor-made for hikes and other excursions. It boasts military-grade heat, shock, and water resistance. You’ll also find support for multiple navigation systems (GPS, Galileo, and Glonass), a compass, and a barometric altimeter. The 14-day battery life in smartwatch mode is well-suited to camping trips, and you can even use positioning for 40 hours thanks to a power-saving Ultratrac mode.
The device is relatively simple as far as smartwatches go with a monochrome display that doesn’t show much more than notifications. At this sale price, though, Garmin’s expertise in health features could easily make the Instinct worthwhile. It tracks heart rate, activity and stress, and you’ll find software-specific perks. TracBack, for instance, helps you navigate to your starting point by tracing your original route.
You can check out the deal using the button below. While this isn’t the lowest-priced fitness watch we’ve seen in a Black Friday sale (see our deals hub for more), the rugged design could ensure that you or your recipient is still using the Garmin Instinct well after the price climbs up.
