Save 32% on this feature-packed Garmin Instinct running watch
Amazon are slashing $80 off this fantastic running watch at right now, which boasts two weeks of battery life.
When it comes to running, there are few better fitness trackers you can pick up than something from Garmin's ever-expanding range.
We gave the Instinct 2 an impressive 4 stars, and although this deal is for the previous model, this hefty deal means it is still well worth taking a look at.
With Amazon knocking $80 off the excellent running watch, you can get a fantastic tracker with excellent battery life for just $169.99.
We'll be the first to admit the Instinct can look a little on the chunky side, but it's actually impressively lightweight and comfortable to wear.
It offers excellent tracking via built-in GPS, too, but if you don't need that you can get a whopping two weeks of battery life with it switched off. That's largely thanks to its modular display, which remains monochrome but is easily readable, even in sunlight.

Price history: We've seen the Instinct priced as low as $139.99 in May 2022, but this matches the lowest price we've seen since then.

Reviews consensus: With up to two weeks of battery life and access to the excellent Garmin Connect app for exercise coaching, the Garmin Instinct is a great purchase at this price.
