Garmin's Basic GPS Running Watch Is $70 Off Right Now
Ever since I retired my fancy G-Shock watch a decade ago, I’ve been relying on fitness watches, and what do you know, they’ve all been Garmins—for good reason: Garmin makes great fitness trackers. If you’ve never owned a Garmin watch and want to try one out, now is a good time: The best budget Garmin for runners, the Garmin Forerunner 55, is down to $129 (originally $199.99). That's its lowest price ever, according to price-tracking tools.
