Garmin's range of advanced smartwatches is truly endless, and with that also comes an endless roster of generous price drops in Amazon Prime Day.

Though Garmin produces some of the best smartwatches and has given the Apple Watch a run for its money, some of their devices are sky-high when it comes to prices. With the end of Prime Day approaching, there's still a chance for you to bag that smartwatch upgrade you've been waiting for.

The top deal in the US right now is on the Garmin fenix 8, a smartwatch with a staggering 10-day lifespan that's now $749.99 at Amazon (was $999.99). Equally, there are solid savings over in the UK too, but the best deal isn't on Amazon funnily enough.

Instead, UK shoppers should think about heading over to H Samuel, where the highly advanced Garmin epix Pro is now £299.99 (was £739.99) — that's actually a better value deal than Amazon's.

There's $250 off the five-star Garmin Fenix 8 in its smallest 43mm size and Whitestone colorway. It's perfect for those who want serious power on smaller wrists — adventure watches are usually big, lumpy affairs — so it's nice to have a smaller option. And it still packs an impressive 10-day battery life, advanced training features, an LED flashlight, and full-color maps.View Deal

It's been six years since the Forerunner 745 came out and though Garmin has upped the ante on its smartwatch range since then, we still stand by our 4.5-star review. For less than $200, the Forerunner gives you reliable GPS as well as a slew of health insights including the HRM Pro heart rate monitor strap and SpO2 sensor. If you want a fitness tracker that will get you what you need without burning a hole in your pocket, definitely look into this one.

It's also quite a smart-looking device that doesn't scream 'sports watch', so you can wear it no matter the occasion.
