Sports Tech Huge Amazon Prime Day Roundup & Tracker!

image

In the unlikely event the internet or Amazon hasn’t already informed you, today and tomorrow (Monday/Tuesday) is Amazon Prime Day. That means that most (all?) Amazon country properties are doing pretty substantial deals across the board on all sorts products, including yes, sports tech gear. Historically held in July, this year it’s a bit earlier, and historically, Amazon Prime Day has been *VERY* strong for sports tech deals – even eclipsing Black Friday (from an Amazon perspective). Oh, and in some countries, ‘Prime Day’ is somehow the whole. Because.

In some ways, for sports tech items it’s timed perfectly. See, typically Black Friday deals are for ‘older’ things, rarely the ‘just announced’ stuff that often comes in the late August to October timeframe (especially cycling trainers, and watches). But with Prime Day being in June, there’s frankly not a lot of ‘just announced’ stuff. Thus, more opportunity for brands to put things on sale for a one-off summer day.

In any case, below I’ll be updating all the categories throughout the day, all day long. Note that I’ve got a special Europe section lower down too, for dedicated Euro deals. As usual, Europeans generally get better always-on year-round discounts than US folks do, which have pricing restricted by manufactures MAP (Minimum Advertised Price).

You need to be an Amazon Prime Member, but you can easily pickup a free 30 day trial for that to cover these days.

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.

Product Sale Price Amazon Other site Sale Notes
Apple AirPods Pro - $50 off!
$249
$197
Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case - $50 Off! $149 ⚡ I use AirPods primarily when I'm travelling just to listen in airports, planes, etc... I don't tend to use these for workouts due to them falling out. Personally, I just use the basic model.
Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) - $30 off
$159
$119 I use AirPods primarily when I'm traveling just to listen in airports, planes, etc... I don't tend to use these for workouts due to them falling out. Note: Price fluctuates daily between $119-$129
Apple Watch Series 6 - (40mm) - $50 Off
$399/$499 (cellular)
$349 A good, but mostly common Apple Watch Series 6 Deal.
Fitbit ACE 2 Activity Tracker for Kids - 57% Off $29 Umm, this is an incredible. So incredible that I've almost gotta wonder if this product line is going to be kept around. Fitbit never discounts this much. But hey, they also never drop support on things - so it frankly doesn't matter much if there's not an ACE 3 or something.
Fitbit Charge 4 - $50 off!
$149
$99 Currently the best deal we've seen to date, matching only the Black Friday deal last fall.
Fitbit Inspire 2 - 40% off
$99
$59
Fitbit Sense - 40% off
$329
$199 This is the lowest price to date for the Fitbit Sense (by far), and makes it a deal you should definitely consider versus the Fitbit Versa 3 for the same price (no, really, there's no reason to get the Versa 3 at the same price).
Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire (Base model) - $300 off $499 This is the non-Pro variant, so it doesn't include music/maps, but has essentially every other feature on it. Also, this specific sale version is the Sapphire edition, so a bit hardier glass. Still, it's an incredible discount on this watch.
Garmin Fenix 6 Series - $100 all models
$599-$1,149
$100 off ⚡ This deal is back! A variant of the $100-$150 off Fenix range deal shows up each May/June ahead of Fathers day and past Amazon Prime Day, and this is no different. This also includes the newer Fenix 6/6S Solar units from this past summer.
Garmin Forerunner 245 - $50 off
$299/$349
$249 Both the Forerunner 245 is on sale for $50 off. While not a huge sale, it's actually the lowest we've seen either product priced to date.
Garmin Forerunner 245 Music - $60 off $289 Both the Forerunner 245 Music is sale for $60 off. While not a huge sale, it's actually the lowest we've seen either product priced to date. The FR245 Music supports Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms.
Garmin Forerunner 45/45S - $20 off
$199
$139 This is a good deal, though, keep in mind the Forerunner 55 just came out. So the 'normal' list price of $199 for the FR45 isn't really true anymore (that's the new FR55 list price). Thus this is roughly $20 off. In any case, it's a great running watch.
Garmin Forerunner 745 - $25 off
$499/499EUR
$475 The FR745 multisport GPS watch has music support (including Spotify), and is otherwise a full triathlon watch. This is only the second time we've seen it on sale since release. So $25 off is better than nothing off.
Garmin Forerunner 945 - $83 off
$599/599EUR
$515 Not a bad deal, the price seems to fluctuate between $80-$85 off (official Garmin sale price currently).
Garmin Instinct Esports Edition - 40% off $179 This is actually the first time we've seen a deal on this quirky little variant of Garmin Instinct, meant to pair up with its own special app for transmitting data to streamers.
Garmin Instinct Solar - $150 off
$399/$449
$249 ⚡ By far the best deal we've seen on the Instinct Solar edition, which came out last summer.
Garmin Instinct Tactical- $120 Off $179 This is the lowest this watch has been ($120 off, and down to $197). Note that this is the non-Solar version, so do keep that in mind.
Garmin Venu GPS Smartwatch - $130 off!
$299
$219 ⚡ This is about the lowest we've seen yet for the Garmin Venu GPS (by far), which includes an AMOLED display as well as music (even Spotify offline). Solid deal. Note, the Venu 2 did come out last month.
Garmin Vivoactive 4/4S - $100-150 off
$299
$189 ⚡ This is Garmin's current offering to compete with the Apple Watch series (alongside the Garmin Venu/Venu 2), and is currently the lowest price we've seen to date, even better than Black Friday last year. Historically Garmin refreshes this lineup the last week of August this year, but who knows what the future holds.
Garmin Vivofit Jr. 3 - 38% off $49 This deal easily beats Black Friday last year, making it the lowest we've seen on the Vivofit Jr 3 series.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 - 23% off $329 Not as good a deal as it gets (down to $238 earlier this May), but hey, a deal is a deal.

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.

Product Sale Price Amazon Other site Sale Notes
Garmin Varia RVR315 Radar - 23% off $104 This is Garmin's latest gen Varia radar, without the light portion. This is also by far the best deal we've seen on it.
Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $30 off $169 This seems to go on sale about once per year, and this be that time. If you're looking to pick one up, I wouldn't expect any further deals till probably Black Friday timeframe.

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 drone and drone accessories.  Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.

DJI Mavic Mini Fly More Combo Kit - 24% off $399
GoPro Hero 9 Black - $50 off $399 ⚡ This is the camera I use for all my daily shooting during sports. Actually, I've bought a few of them. Note that if you're a GoPro Plus Subscriber, then it's a bit cheaper at $349 from GoPro directly, but otherwise, it's $449.

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.

Apple TV 4K (2021 Edition) for Zwift - $29 off $169 I use this for almost all my Zwifting. This is the first major deal we've seen on something barely a month old. Also, the 32GB model is on sale too, from the same link.
inReach Mini Satellite Communicator - $50 off $299 This is the third year in a row the inReach Mini has gone on sale ahead of Fathers Day. The only other time it was on sale was during Black Friday. Solid deal for a great little unit if you travel beyond cellular coverage. Plus, integration with Garmin watches has improved lately too.

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.

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:

This 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!

Jackery Portable Power Station - $100 off $199 This is something I use frequently when shooting out and about and I need to re-charge a crapton of drone batteries, action cameras, or just cameras and such. I also use it on trips to Eurobike and elsewhere to keep equipment charged. Technically you can even hook a solar panel up to it. Heck, I've even powered a KICKR trainer ride from it!

With that – thanks for reading, and for supporting the site via the links above.
