The interesting thing about the Garmin Forerunner 255 Music is that it’s not only a better overall tracking watch for serious runners, but it also comes with a pretty substantial storage for music. That means you don’t have to have a separate device, such as your phone, and can focus on the music and the run, all with a substantial $107 discount.

Garmin Venu 3S GPS — $350 $450 22% off

The Garmin Venu 3S is another great option for those who want to balance a smartwatch with a fitness watch, with the 3S doing a pretty excellent job on the smartwatch side. Granted, it’s not Android-based, so there is a bit of a learning curve, but with a $100 discount, it’s worth considering if you want the best of both worlds.

Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar — $750 $1,000 25% off

If you want something that’s absolutely top-of-the-line, it’s hard to beat the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar, which easily competes with the likes of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for ultra-rugged fitness tracking. It has a lot of advanced features, such as an ECG app, endurance and hill scores, a fiber-reinforced polymer case, and a $250 discount on the price.

How to choose a Garmin watch on Cyber Monday

For those who haven’t purchased or used a Garmin watch before, it’s important to know that Garmin isn’t really as into the business of making smartwatches as it is in the business of making advanced fitness trackers. That means that most of the watches from Garmin won’t give you a traditional smartwatch experience, and some may not even have touch screens. So, before taking the plunge on a Garmin device, it’s important to know what you’re getting yourself into, and if you want something that’s as much a fitness watch as it is a smartwatch, or maybe even more a fitness watch than a smartwatch.

If that’s totally fine for you, then the next thing to know is that you can get very specialized Garmin watches. For example, the Forerunner series is specifically targeted to runners and will often have apps and sensors that are good for running. On the other hand, the Venu and the Vivovactive are Garmin’s more smartwatch-focused offerings, while the Fenix lineup is made specifically for semi-extreme and extreme activities, so it’s meant to keep up with an active lifestyle. Also, some Garmin watches have Solar appended to the name, which are the ones that can charge with sunlight, although it’s not that significant to overcome just having it fully charged from an outlet.

How we chose these Garmin watch Cyber Monday deals

Garmin’s current lineup is relatively straightforward, and the biggest issue for anybody new to Garmin is that its watches can be quite pricey. That’s why our main focus is finding deals from various retailers to ensure you’re getting the best price on any of the deals above. We lean on our years of experience as deal hunters to manage, as well as certain tools at our disposal that let us look at things like historical pricing, so at the end of the day, you know you’re getting the best bang for your buck.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is down to $331 for Cyber Monday

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.

It has a new, thinner design than previous Apple Watches, along with a subtle but welcome screen upgrade. It also has a new speaker and improved charging speed, so it’s a good upgrade for existing Apple Watch owners.
