Deals on Garmin smartwatches don’t come along very often, especially on newer models. So when you see a discount, it’s wise to take notice. And if a well-rounded fitness watch is on your wish list, then you’ll love this Best Buy deal on the Garmin vívoactive 5.

As of Oct. 14, you can find this watch on sale at Best Buy for $249.99, saving you $50 on list price. This particular deal is only available on the Slate Aluminum and Black colorways, but the Gold Aluminum and Ivory is also reduced to $285.99.

The vívoactive 5 came out late last year, bringing a noticeable upgrade from the previous model. The vívoactive 5 benefits from a bright AMOLED display, making colors much more vibrant and noticeable. It also has a much-improved battery life over the vívoactive 4, boasting 11 days when in smartwatch mode.

Stats-wise, it is packed with advanced health-tracking features, including heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, stress tracking, and in-depth sleep insights. The sleep insights have also had an upgrade, now featuring sleep coaching.

You’ll notice that more advanced features such as training status and training readiness are missing from this model. For statistics like these you’ll want to look at the higher-end watches, including the Forerunner range. But for a general smartwatch for tracking a range of sports and health stats, you can’t go wrong with this Best Buy deal.
