This seems to be a price drop and not a temporary sale. I see the same at several places including Amazon, Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, Best Buy. Might be able to stack with other deals if you want to pick one up that's not direct from Garmin. It's a lot of watch for the money for a person that can use all the features.
This is a fairly old model, I'd suggest looking at a current model Forerunner in this price range. I believe the feature set should be equivalent but still on Garmin's update radar.
Edit: my mistake, even the Forerunner 265 MSRP is $450… damn.

I purchased the Garmin 745 on Prime Day for $279.99.
Now that it seems Garmin is discounting their watches I bet you'd see this watch for even cheaper on Black Friday.
Now, I do like this watch a lot and if the Garmin 945 is only $50 more as mentioned above I'd pull the trigger on the 945 but it was $150 more when I purchased it. Very similar to 945 minus the longer batter life. I use it for my triathlon training.

Any suggestions on a watch for a runner? wife is looking at the 265s but $450 is a little steep.
255 should be plenty and it's only $300 now. If she is ok with non-garmin look up some review for Coros pace 2 or 3. However Garmin has better HR and tracking.

If you or somebody you know has a Planet Fitness black card membership you can get the 255 or 265 for 20% off which I think would be a better deal than this 745

Really?? That's awesome, I'll try and find someone. Wife is set on the 265s and apparently there are never sales! Thanks!
edit - after a ton of Google searching, I found a health app called Optimity. Did a few like 30 seconds surveys and then it offers a discount on Garmins site which was 20%...got the 265s for $385 shipped.

Nice! Yeah the 265/265s is something like $369 + tax and the 255 is I think $279 non-music or $319 music model with the discount. Glad you were able to score one!
