Added - Last general update.
This is a continuation of the crazy weeks of offers we had on the occasion of the Black Friday and Cyber MondaySome of these offers are still valid today, others are new for Christmas and others will appear later as we get closer to the most important dates.
Not only do I want to write down the best offers available, but also highlight where you can buy some of the most sought-after devices at a cheaper price. For example, it's hard to see the Garmin 235 on sale (it will be one of the most sought-after at this time of year), but I can tell you where you can save a few euros that you can then spend on prawns.
On this occasion I will organize the offers by manufacturer and not by store where they are sold. Although many of the purchases that are made on these dates is to give us toys training devices to ourselves, there are also many people looking for the best gift for their loved ones, and they are looking forward to getting a new GPS watch or a new activity monitor with which to start 2017 with new exercise proposals.
Remember to visit the recommendations article if you want a guide to help you find the best device if you're a little lost.
I will keep these listings up to date and keep looking for the best opportunities available during these dates, so if you don't find anything today don't despair, come back tomorrow because there will surely be news. It's offer season and sellers take advantage of it.
And one last consideration. Avoid pages like eGlobal Central or similar that send from Hong Kong. You will be buying products without official guarantee (the guarantee is managed through the Chinese seller, sending it there) and can come with surprises at customs... I will only put offers from stores with which I have had direct dealings (i.e, whoever bought and provided me with good service) If you're buying to give away the last thing you want is to have trouble with your gift.
Let's go get the good offers!
Offers at Garmin
Career
- Garmin Forerunner 235 - Without a doubt it's going to be the most sought after this Christmas... along with the Canine Patrol bus. And both are going to end up costing the same (if you don't have kids to look for presents yet, don't worry, you'll get it). I'm telling you, there won't be any offers for the Garmin 235, so if that's the assignment you had for Melchior bad luck. In Amazon Spain is 262. Full test.

Four colors available, but the small activity monitor allows it to be placed on a multitude of other accessories to match whatever you're wearing. It's even capable of measuring swimming. Undoubtedly where Fitbit stands out the most is in its "app", which is what we have to look at beyond the possibility of counting steps or activity.
- Suunto Ambit3 Peak HR - The Suunto Ambit3 Peak is experiencing a second youthfulness. The recent update that includes the same altitude profile navigation screen as the Ambit3 Vertical makes it the Suunto watch with the most possibilities right now.

Hey, Eduardo. First of all, congratulations on the blog. The truth is, it's one of the best things you can find on the net.
I currently own a Suunto Ambit2 S, with which I am very happy. I practice triathlon, cycling, MTB and the occasional trail. I have the possibility to buy the Garmin Fenix 3 (watch only) for 275 €. I think it is a very good price. In addition to having the "smartwatch" functionalities section, which attracts me quite a lot. As for trail navigation, I have doubts if it would improve over the Ambit. For MTB navigation I use an Etrex 30.
My initial intention was to stay with the Ambit2 S until the Spartan Sport was in condition, but by the time that happens the Fénix 4 will be on the market or the 735XT will have dropped in price...Do you think this is a good time to buy the Fénix 3?
Thank you very much.
Well, in trail you would have the remaining route profile screen, which to me personally is the only information I require at that time. How much is left and with what profile, rhythms or distances I don't care.
The Fenix 3 is now much more affordable than when it first came on the market and its firmware is quite polished. In that sense I think it's a pretty good buy (and in fact it's still a very good deal).
You're a cracker. Thanks for your help and advice.
Hello. I would like to make a consultation, because I see the great amount of models that there are for different sports and I do not know which would be the most advisable.
Basically I want it for surfing, swimming and stand up paddle. So water resistant and that of "wrist pulse". Gps podhis could be an option but not essential. A watch that holds up well in the water. And that also podría sporadically use it for running, some cycling, etc.. That connects to the mobile phone would also be interesting for downloading data, etc..
Could you help me? Thank you very much. Every time I look for a sports watch I go to your blog, in fact, I bought a garmin hr, thanks to your comments, and it goes very well.
Thank you for your help.
Hello
Very good section. I follow it every day to buy the garmin FR 235 or the polar M600. Will you keep updating it on sale?
Thank you
I've made an update today, but it will be the last one. I don't expect to have very low prices at this time of the year, usually those reductions occur in the final months of the year.
