Garmin Forerunner 265S Drops to $349.99, Lowest Price in Months

Q: Will waiting for Black Friday bring this Garmin watch back to its all-time low, or is this the best deal you will see?

Probably not a guarantee — but Black Friday is the likeliest time to see it fall closer to its $299.99 all-time low. Right now, $349.99 is a strong deal. It is $100 off the usual $449.99 price, below both its 30-day and 180-day averages, and one of the better discounts this model has seen in recent months. Multiple deal trackers and shopping writers also note that Garmin watches often get their best pricing during major retail events such as Prime Day, Black Friday, and January sales. That said, the evidence does not support assuming the 265S will definitely return to $299.99. The watch has spent much of the year near full price, and even sale coverage describing deeper Garmin discounts has generally placed the Forerunner 265 line more often in the low-to-mid $300s than at its record low. Inventory, color availability, and Garmin’s shift toward newer models could help produce a sharper holiday markdown, but they could just as easily limit the best offers. For buyers who need the watch now or want a dependable deal without gambling on stock and timing, $349.99 is a sensible buy. For buyers who are price-sensitive and willing to wait, Black Friday offers the best chance of seeing $300 again — but not enough certainty to call the current offer anything but a solid, above-average deal.
