It’s that time of year again – when everything goes on sale, or at least, the things companies need you to buy. While historically the best deals have been saved for Black Friday weekend, that’s slowly slipped further and further earlier. For sure, there will undoubtedly be some incredible deals that weekend. But that doesn’t take away from the splattering of already incredible deals. So far, the Top 3 deals from the list below include:
Oh, and as for Europeans. I’ll be entering those all in manually over the next day or so as well. Generally speaking though, the bulk of European deals tend to be on Black Friday weekend itself, rather than a bit earlier like the US side. I don’t know why, it just is. Thus, don’t fret that the Americans are getting the best deals, because again, historically speaking, the Europeans almost always in the end get better deals in terms of price-discounts than the US side (largely due to lack of MAP, minimum advertised price, that exists on the US side).
With that, onto the deals! And thanks for supporting the site via the links below. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Enjoy!
Watches & Wearables:
This covers anything you can wear that’s watch-like or activity band-like, including sensors. Generally speaking, you’ll mostly find deals here that are on things I’ve written about in the past. So you won’t find a deal on some random non-sports tech watch here, or on socks. Unless the socks have some crazy sensor or something in them.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $50 off | $199 | Amazon | I've been using these the past few months, after years of using the Beats Studio Buds...man, these things rock. My wife has already started stealing them, which means she'll probably get a set for Christmas so she'll stop sealing them. | |
 |
Apple Watch Series 9 - $50 off $399/$499 (cellular) |
$349 | Amazon | This is Apple's latest Apple Watch model, and did quite well in my review when it launched about two months ago. Especially notable is all the new sports/fitness features it got this year, such as cycling power meter/sensor support. | |
 |
Fenix 7 Pro Solar Series (7S/7/7X Pro) - $200 off! $799+ |
$599 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Fenix 7 Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. The smaller Fenix 7S Pro watch has become my wife's go-to watch since it came out, for all of her training and 24x7 usage. |
 |
Fitbit Charge 6 - 38% off! $159 |
$99 | Amazon | Given this is barely two months old, this is a pretty substantial deal - especially if you don't utilize the built-in GPS side of the device. | |
 |
Fitbit Sense 2 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | This isn't quite the biggest sale we've seen, so I'd expect it to go a bit lower over Black Friday. | |
 |
Garmin Epix (Gen 2) - 30-40% off $899/$999 |
From $449 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is (sometimes) a super strong deal, with Amazon having it as low as $449 (insane), and otherwise floating in the mid-$500's. Just keep checking back here on this. Note that the Epix Gen 2 has continued to receive virtually all of the Epix Pro new features firmware updates. |
 |
Garmin Epix Pro Series (Sapphire Editions) - $200 off! | $799 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Epix Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. I'd say this is probably my go-to watch these days (middle-sized one), with the singular reason I tend to choose it over the Forerunner 965, being the built-in flashlight for night. |
|
Garmin Epix Pro Series - $200 off! $899/$999 |
$699 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we've seen the new Epix Pro series on sale, and it's a nice strong sale. I'd say this is probably my go-to watch these days (middle-sized one), with the singular reason I tend to choose it over the Forerunner 965, being the built-in flashlight for night. |
 |
Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Series $549-$1,149 |
$329 | Amazon | [Note: This is a renewed unit] Obviously, the Fenix 6 isn't the latest anymore, but these are still very capable watches and frankly, at $329, there's absolutely nothing from any of their even brand-new competitor watches (COROS, Polar, Suunto, etc...) that can even remotely compete with the features here. Heck, not even Garmin's own pricing for their Fenix 7 Pro can compete with this. Fwiw, all Garmin renewed units go back to the same factory original units came from. Frankly, there's virtually no difference. If you're on a budget, this is where it's at. | |
 |
Garmin Fenix 7 Series (All Models/Styles) - $200 off! $699+ |
$499 | Amazon | REI | ⚡This is a strong deal if you don't care about the new optical heart rate sensor (including ECG) of the newer Fenix 7 Pro, especially given the Fenix 7 series has received virtually all of the Fenix 7 Pro's new software features, keeping them essentially identical. |
 |
Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. |
 |
Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |
 |
Garmin Forerunner 55 - $30 off $199 |
$169 | Amazon | REI | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. |
 |
Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $50 Off | $299 | Amazon | REI | This is a good deal, especially considering the Instinct 2 series got Training Readiness and a host of other new features over the course of just this year alone. |
 |
Garmin Venu 3 - $25 off $449 |
$425 | Amazon | Well, I guess we have to start somewhere. This is the first discount we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3 series. It's not a big one, just $25 off, courtesy of Uncle Amazon. But hey, better than nothing! | |
 |
Google Pixel Watch 1 - $100 off | $250 | Amazon | While the new Pixel Watch 2 just came out a month ago, the Pixel Watch 2 got almost all the software features two weeks ago via software update. The Pixel Watch 2 does have a slightly better optical HR sensor, and better battery life, but otherwise is relatively similiar. | |
 |
Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - $20 off | $279 | Amazon | ||
 |
Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $70 off | $330 | Amazon | This is a reasoanbly solid deal for this watch, which came out this past summer. | |
 |
Wahoo RIVAL GPS Watch - 50% off $379 |
$99 | Amazon | Wahoo Fitness Site | At some point, everything becomes a steal. While the Wahoo RIVAL struggles to be comepetitive with higher-end watches, at $99, it's a pretty crazy deal - especially for triathletes where Wahoo does some cool stuff around automatic transitions. |
Cycling Gear & Trainers:
Got a bike? Then this section is for you. Everything from bike computers to bike lights to trainers, it’s all here. I won’t generally be adding things like brake cables or bike seats here, but if I find a good deal on a cassette to stack on that new direct drive trainer you just bought, I’ll probably list it here.

Wahoo POWRLINK ZERO (Dual-sided) - $200 off! $649/$999 |
$799 | REI | ⚡ This is a very solid deal that happens twice a year, if you were looking at the Wahoo power meter pedals, grab these before this disappears (and it usually disappears). As with the Garmin Rally pedals, I continue to use Wahoo power meter pedals for accuracy testing of other brands/units. | |

And then here’s a separate bucket for trainers and indoor bikes:
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes | |

Elite Suito-T Smart Trainer - $150 off! $799 (incl cassette) |
$449 | Amazon | This is by far the lowest price we've ever seen on the Elite Suito or Suito-T trainers. Note: The Suito-T is the same exact trainer as the Suito, except without the cassette pre-installed. | |
 |
Peloton Bike - $350 off | $1,095 | Amazon | I believe this is the lowest price we've ever seen on the original/base Peloton Bike model (without a bundle required). This is still a solid bike, and actually one that I use at home (I have the newer Peloton Bike+ at the office). Both my wife and I use these bikes interchangeably, and while the Bike+ has a bigger screen and better accuracy, there's very little difference in the core Peloton experience. I'd still recommend this model to most people. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
 |
Peloton Bike+ is $400 off | $1,995 | Amazon | This is a solid deal for the Bike+. Both my wife and I use both the Peloton Bike+ and the regular Bike (one at home, one at office) on a weekly basis. We like both. The Bike+ is more accurate than the regular bike, and also has a bigger screen and automatic resistance control. That said, the core Peloton experience isn't any different between the two - it's the same platform there. Note Peloton has stated/confirmed there will be no 'bigger discounts' on products during this holiday period. | |
 |
Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer - $300 off $899 |
$599 | Amazon | REI | |
 |
Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer - $500 off! $1,399 |
$899 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡ Holy crap, this is an incredible deal. Get this while it's hot and lasts. Note that you can also pair this with the NEO Motion Plates, which would give you a slight bit of forward/back rolling motion. |
 |
Wahoo CLIMB Accessory - $140 off! $599 |
$560 | N/A | REI | This simulates the up and down motion on most KICKR trainers (including KICKR CORE & SNAP), moving your bike up and down. This deal is via REI for REI members using the coupon code GEARUP23 - and ends Nov 21st! |
 |
Wahoo KICKR Core Smart Trainer - $120 off! $899 |
$479 | N/A | REI | ⚡⚡ This deal is back, and it's a pretty incredible deal. It's the Wahoo KICKR CORE down to $499, which REI briefly did this past June. Nobody else seems to be offering this deal, and even though the KICKR CORE got the price reduced to $599 recently, it's virtually unheard of to see these trainers below the $500 marker. |
Action Cameras & Drones:
Wanna record it? No better way than an action camera. Anything that’s action camera-related or drone-related you’ll find here. That’s especially true of action camera mounts, which are often found for great deals around the holidays. Same goes with drones and drone accessories. Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.
Other Sports & Fitness:
Anything else that’s sports and fitness related that I think is interesting will be here. It may not be super techy – but it’s stuff that most readers will be using in pursuit of their running/cycling/swimming/hiking/whatever.
European Deals!
What’s that? You’re not in the US and still want a deal? No problem! Note that on Amazon Europe deals, generally speaking, you can order from any Amazon European country site (i.e., Amazon France) and have it shipped within the EU (i.e., Spain). Thus, many times deals are duplicated across the sites. I generally try and just distill it down to one.
This year almost *ALL* of the watch/cycling deals you’ll see in the main lists are available in Europe too! So you can click on those links and it’ll theoretically redirect to the correct Europe store. For the most part, the %-off are the same (a first!). Still, some of the links above break because Amazon uses umpteen million different SKU codes and aren’t aligned between Amazon countries. Thus you can try the above first, and if it fails, then just type it in manually.
Remember, these deals refresh each day for the most part, and usually only last a few hours. Jump if you see something you like!
There are no deals currently.
DCR Random Gadget List:
These is basically the mostly totally unrelated gadgets and things I think are cool deals that I’ve likely bought one or five of (you can never have too many, right)? Some of it’s probably photography stuff. Some of it’s random stuff like chargers and battery packs that I use daily, fun camera gear I use to make videos like sliders and turntables, and well…just random things you’ll find around the DCR Cave. It’s all random…but it’s all awesome randomness!
There are no deals currently.
With that – thanks for reading, and for supporting the site via the links above.
