Is this over? I wasn't able to get the 200% off of Venu 3 from blue365 link. Just 359.99. Am I missing something? A promo code or something?

The original price was $449.99

Not sure if this will work as I don't need to purchase one, but this is the URL I pulled through my healthcare. Looks to bypass signing into an eligible provider:

I was able to use this and the Klarna 4 payments deal - first time user 20% max $40. Brought my total down to $342 (~$85/payment)

Oh, that is tempting.... Been eyeing the Venu 3 (Have a Vivoactive 4 now) and it is the watch I want now......

Just wonder what Black Friday will bring here...

My biggest issue with the Venu 2 was the imprint it left on my wrist. The sensors are DEEP. As well, it states it has a 22mm band, but various ones I bought off Amazon would pop off. Had to get a 23mm, or just eventually use the stock one.

Apple watch is much less intrusive with its sensors so I can ear it all day without wanting to curse the stars.

Of course, this is all truly YMMV status but my wrist is super happy using the Apple watch...though I felt "more informed" with the Garmin by far

This isn't getting enough love. I'm actually supposed to be eligible for 20% off from my health insurance (Anthem) but the Anthem/Garmin site is broken, so I tried this. Worked like a charm on my purchase of Forerunner 265S, and with the $40 Klarna discount, brought the total to $338 (essentially $320 plus tax from original price of $450). Thanks!

I was waiting for black Friday hoping for a discount on a venu 3s for my wife and an epix 2 pro for me. Pulled the trigger on this (with 2% cash back) instead.

Klarna is a notorious and suspicious agent as I have just tried to purchase this watch.
They collected my personal information including my DOB then declined my purchase given that I have tried with two different credit cards. I would stay away from this agent.

Same experience. I even tried a temporary lift on my Transunion credit freeze, and linked a bank account. Still denied for some unknown reason. Definitely not worth it to me to keep jumping those hoops for the hope of $40 off especially when I just want to pay for the purchase in one transaction to begin with.

Klarna now has your and my personal information, and who knows, hundreds of thousands of people out there regarding their PII (Personal Identifiable Information) for free. Then they would turn around and sell the information to third parties.

Please don't do so unless you want someone from a foreign country access your bank or use your personal information apply for credit card or steal your credit card that you have on file at Klanar.

Many people are naive when we mentioned something like this to them, then they later cry that their credit card and personal info are stolen....hahahah

So, is there anything else that can bring this price down ? With $40 more off, it seemed like a epic deal....

The only other discount approach I found was using a Chase Freedom card with 5% cashback for paypal with the Freedom Card used on the PayPal site. Not huge, but something, and from a reliable source..

I have not found a "Discount Code" to enter into the shopping cart. Was hoping for a code from a newsletter, but nothing seen to date.

If anyone else comes across a discount code or another way to sweeten the deal, I'd love to hear about it.

Will probably wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday just in case there is any sort of discount offered through Garmin - but I think that is unlikely given this is a newly released model.

I was going to try Klarna but, they didn't take my CC so I canceled it, with $90 off already, I just grabbed it. I did try a ton of codes and nothing worked, it did come with free shipping but, I had to pay tax on it (bastards !) Screw it.

I've been eyeing this watch for a few months now, and needed upgrade from my Vivioactive 4... and this seems like everything I have dreamed for from my Pebble Steel, that I loved so much (with Voice texting and phone calls).

Oh, well, unless some crazy deal comes up before they ship it... I will have it...

Optimity app and 200 pts (a few clicks after you install the app) will give you 20% anytime
