You don’t need to wait until Black Friday to lock in an epic deal on one of the year’s best smartwatches . The Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED is my go-to smartwatch for outdoor adventures, and now it can be yours, too, for $100 off retail.

That’s right: this rugged, LED flashlight-sporting, battery-life champion is $349 on Amazon , down from $449, a seriously good price, and not far from its lowest-ever sale price of $299.

That said, if you want the best deal on the Garmin Instinct 3, it may be worth holding out a little longer. Of course, as with everything in life, nothing is guaranteed. But I digress.

I wear the Garmin Instinct 3 while running, walking , hiking , biking , e-mountain biking , snowboarding , snorkeling, and more.…
