If you’re into your smartwatches, you’ll know Garmin is one of the most reputable and advanced manufacturers out there.

In fact in our review of the best fitness watches we included both Garmin’s Fenix 8 and Forerunner 165 Music models, and the Forerunner 165 GPS model is another example of the brand’s quality.

It’s already slashed to £199.99, saving shoppers £49 off the original price, but using code: RED10 at checkout will drop the price further to £179.99, which is the lowest price we’ve seen for this model.

The additional 10% saving is part of Argos’ Big Red clearance event, and is valid until 26 August 2025.

The watch comes equipped with a 30.48mm AMOLED touchscreen, offering a bright display with perfect clarity.

Daily charging is a thing of the past, thanks to up to 11 days of battery life and 1.5 hours of fast charging.

With accurate pace, distance, and heart rate, you can track your runs with total confidence.

Using the Garmin Coach and race-adaptive training plans provides workout suggestions to improve pace and performance.

But it doesn’t stop with running. When it comes to exercise, this is exactly where this smartwatch shines, and there are over 25 exercise modes to choose from while training.
