Please note that not all plans qualify, check to see if yours does.
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield has a 35% discount through blue365 [blue365deals.com] Note: For discounts on watches not immediately displayed you'll have to go through BCBS to get to garmin, then open garmin.com in a NEW tab and you should see discounts on everything.
  • Anthem BCBS [anthem.com] doesn't use blue365, you have to go to their website => Benefits => and there'll be a link to discounts.
  • Empire BCBS [empireblue.com] you need to make an account and then go to the care tab and there'll be 25% off.
  • Humana has a 35% discount through Go365 [go365.com].

  • Aetna [aetna.com] & Kaiser Permanente [kp.org] partner with ChooseHealthy [choosehealthy.com] for discounts, but they didn't actually filter to ensure eligibility and too many people enrolled, so they removed the 35% off. It might come back later.

Just paid $279 shipped for a 245 w/Music. The best price I've seen so far.

How do you get the discount through Humana go365? I don't see any discounts on the go365 shop mall.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt. Tri athletes constantly complain the Garmin 5 never lasts a whole triathlon.

I own a Garmin 5 and use the golf GPS. I use about 40% battery for 18 holes. This will only degrade more with time.

$390 for me with the ibx discount.
Thanks! I too have the 735 currently. Was hoping they would come out with a 745, but looks like not this year. Love my 735 except that you can't change the vibration setting, and the vibrator is WAY too loud.

Log into your go365 account, go to Shop --> Discounts --> Garmin --> View discount and it opens the Garmin webpage just like normal but shows all the watches with discounts

Hard to imagine what a new 745 would encompass without bastardizing the sales of the 945. My only issue with going to the 945 is they don't incorporate the advanced running dynamics into the watch on the 945. That means you have to get the footpod which makes zero sense to me. $200 more for the top of the line watch, and it doesn't have the sensors built in the lesser watch has? And now I have to deal with a footpod, so if I wear my cross trainers for a quick run I have to remember to take the foot pod off my running shoes or buy two pods. Seems kind of dumb.

Where do you see $475 for a Fenix 6x? 35% off $849 comes to $552.

I can only access the unidays discount, which brings the 6X to $627. Too high to bite.

If anyone wants to buy the Fenix 6x at $475, I'll give you $500 for it!

The 6X Sapphire is $850, the base 6X is $750. Which UNiDAYs should still make $563, unless you want the Sapphire.

I called them yesterday and they advised that they cancelled the program a few months ago, so no new signups allowed. Days something similar on their home page.
