Garmin was ahead of Black Friday last week, already dropping prices on several watches ahead of the sales event. Now, with Cyber ​​Week in full swing, I’m seeing even more great deals.

Most notably, the Forerunner 265 and 965 are at their lowest prices ever, both $150. Several other watches are also seeing surprisingly good sales.

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is one of my favorite running watches, and you can read my review here. It has an AMOLED display, all sorts of advanced workout metrics, dual-band GPS, and can connect to a bike power meter, just to name a few of the features that set it apart from other watches. I own one myself and highly recommend it. Its original price was $449.99, but it is sometimes on sale for $50 or $100 off. It was $100 off for Black Friday last year, and it has occasionally dropped down to that price since the Forerunner 570 was released this year. (The 570 basically offers 265+ voice features, and it’s not on sale yet this year?)

Both sizes are now on sale: the 265 at 46 millimeters and the smaller version, the 265S at 42 millimeters (S for “smaller”). Both are the same price at $299.99.

The Forerunner 965 has the same features as the 265, plus a few extras, the most important of which is maps. Normally $599.99, the 965 is on sale for $448.

How long do Black Friday deals actually last?

Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, and run throughout “Cyber ​​Week,” the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber ​​Monday, December 1, 2025. But the dates for Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday have expanded as retailers compete for customers. You can get the same Black Friday sales in advanceand we expect sales to cease by December 3, 2025.

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday always offers discounts which can be rare during the rest of the year. If you want to buy something or are shopping for gifts, now is a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially technology sales, home improvement suppliesAnd fitness technology. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.

Are Cyber ​​Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday was once reserved for big retailers and more expensive technology and appliances, while Cyber ​​Monday was for cheaper technology and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. But today, the distinction has almost no meaning. All major retailers will have sales every other day, and the best solution is to know what you want, use price tracking tools, or refer to guides like our live blog who use price tracking tools for you and don’t worry about finding the perfect timing.
