Monday morning is when many of us reflect on how our fitness journey might not be quite where we’d planned. A little motivation might help, like a smartwatch built to help you hit your goals. The Garmin Forerunner 255 does just that, and it’s back to its all-time low price today, thanks to a $100 price drop.
This is a rare deal — the only other time we’ve seen this fitness tracker available for less than $300 was in the 2023 Black Friday sales. It’s certainly never been cheaper. This offer is on the 46mm, Non Music model of the device. And while the seller is an Amazon third party, it’s from Beach Camera, which is an established retailer with a 94% positive rating.
