Refurbished Garmin Smartwatches Are Majorly Discounted Right Now
A smartwatch for a smart price.
The Amazon-owned online retailer Woot is currently having a sale on Garmin products, with some refurbished devices going for almost 50% off. The sale includes smartwatches, GPS monitoring devices for biking, dash cams, and golf laser range finders. The sale will last until Feb. 5 at 1 a.m. ET, or until supplies run out.
Keep in mind that all these Garmin devices are refurbished, so they might come with signs of wear, but they were all serviced and given the thumbs-up to work properly. Woot products come with an assigned manufacturer warranty or Woot’s 90-day warranty program in case you have a problem with a product. Keep in mind that Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship.
The Garmin Venu Sq 2
The Garmin Venu Sq 2 is easily one of the best Garmin smartwatches available, and Joshua Hawkins, tech writer for Lifehacker, is a big fan. Here's what he had to say about the Venu Sq 2:
Sporting up to 11 days of battery life and an AMOLED display, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 smartwatch is a perfect blend of smartwatch and fitness tracking features. Garmin has come a long way with its health-monitoring options, and the Venu Sq 2 is a perfect example of what the company has accomplished. At $250, it isn’t the cheapest option on the market, but it offers multiple colors and comes with a variety of tracking options comparable to watches from Samsung and Apple.
Woot has the Venu Sq 2—the 40mm version in gray—for $159.99 right now. You can see its full specs and features from the Garmin website and read PCMag's full "excellent" review for more.

The Garmin Venu 2 Plus
Although Garmin is known for making fitness watches, the Garmin Venu 2 Plus is a great hybrid option for those looking for additional functionality, like a speaker and microphone. In my opinion, the Venu 2 Plus competes with the top Apple, Galaxy, and Pixel smartwatches, but at a more reasonable price. You can get the 43mm case size Venu 2 Plus with all its "premium" features for $269.99 (originally $449.99).

The Garmin Fenix 6
When the Garmin Fenix 6 was released about two years ago, it was Garmin's flagship smartwatch and one of the best multi-sport smartwatches overall. It has some of the best outdoor tracking features and GPS mapping you'll find, which is great for anyone who likes outdoor activities and wants to feel safer in unfamiliar areas. The listing on Woot's site doesn't list which size it is selling, but the listed 1.3-inch display size corresponds with the 47mm size on Garmin's official site—so it's likely that one. Regardless, you will be getting a steep discount at $289.99 (originally $549.99).
