Garmin’s Forerunner GPS watches are some of our favorites—from the advanced Forerunner 945 down to the budget Forerunner 35. Today you can score a great mid-pack runner with Amazon’s massive deal on the Garmin Forerunner 235. Now down to just $150 instead of the usual price of $330, this GPS watch is an even better value than it was before.

The Forerunner 235 won’t break the bank, but rest assured that it’s packed with features to satisfy most runners. The GPS and GLONASS functionality and heart rate sensors provide accurate data recording, and it’s easy to wirelessly upload your runs from your phone and sync to apps like Strava and MapMyRun. Other features that runners will appreciate include its VO2 Max estimator and its weather widget for current conditions and forecasts.

For when you aren’t out on a run, the Forerunner 235 functions just like any other smartwatch and can alert you to calls, texts, emails, and calendar reminders. The battery life is about 11 hours with the GPS on, but can last up to nine days when just used in smartwatch mode. Though it can’t store your music or display live maps like some of Garmin’s more advanced GPS watches, the Forerunner 235 certainly doesn’t skimp out on essential training features for its price.

With all of the leftover cash ($180!) you’ll save with this deal, you can upgrade your GPS watch and feel free to splurge on those new running shoes or holiday gifts for yourself or other runners in your life!

While the Forerunner 235 has the largest percentage off we’ve seen on smartwatches today, Amazon also has significant deals on other Garmin watches that you may want to consider. From the Editor’s-Choice-winning Fenix 5 for $300 off to Garmin’s Vivosmart and Vivoactive models at around $100 off, you’re bound to find the right watch for your wrist at a discount below.
