Smartwatches are usually one of the hottest categories during the holiday shopping season since these practical wearables can be good gifts for family members who don't already own an Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch. However, Garmin smartwatches like the new Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire might be the most appropriate choice for people who are very active and love the outdoors.
That being said, the American company is charging a lot of money for its flagship smartwatch, which is why a new offer for the Garmin Fenix 8 Sapphire might be of interest for buyers who have been waiting for a corresponding price cut. To be more exact, the huge 51mm model of the Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED is now on sale for $960 at Sports Basement. In order to receive this 20% discount, bargain hunters should apply the coupon code "THANKFUL20" during checkout.
Despite this welcome price drop, the Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire is still more expensive than an Apple Watch Ultra 2, but it also has something to offer that can't be found on Cupertino's latest and greatest smartwatch. The most noticeable difference is the long battery life of up to 29 days, which easily beats the rather underwhelming 36 hours of runtime on the AW Ultra 2.
The Fenix 8 also features a voice assistant and can be used to make phone calls, but it should be noted that the Garmin smartwatch does not support LTE connectivity and is dependent on a connected smartphone. Overall, the discounted Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire is worthy of consideration for givers or outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for a durable multisport smartwatch that doesn't have to be charged every other day but still provides many useful features.
