Summary
$294 to $950 early Labor Day deals are live on several Garmin smartwatches, with discounts reaching 35% as retailers target runners preparing for marathon season.
The steepest markdown is on the Garmin Venu 3S at $294 from $450, while the Instinct 3 drops to $299 from $450 and the Epix Pro Gen 2 to $690 from $1,000.
Garmin's flagship Fenix 8 Pro is selling for $950 from $1,200, and the more entry-level Forerunner 165 is down to $199 from $250 for casual runners.
The promotions lean on Garmin's appeal for training—multi-band GPS, long battery life and running analytics—despite the brand's typically higher prices.
Labor Day falls on Sept. 7, 2026, and the report says buying early could be advantageous as race-season demand builds.
