Edit: Long story short, I THOUGHT this was live for everyone, but it turns out that it only becomes live if you click on this link:

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/promos/ghbcbs1141/

I was following an old Slickdeals post and found this link in a post from @ikilledcobain and didn't realize what had happened until folks told me they couldn't see the deal. So all credit to valenok and @ikilledcobain:

I'm tempted by that Forerunner 955. I've got and love the 945 but I really want an HRV score and $400 is finally a price point worth considering.

I think the 955 is the current sweet spot. Killer battery life because it uses the old style screen, which is always on and easy to read in bright light (making it superior IMO). Most of the features of the Fenix series, but cheaper, more discreet, and lighter weight.

I've had my 955 for a year. Been fantastic. Only "negative" is real battery life is about 27-28 hours of GPS, but still lasted my entire 100 miler this fall.

For everything else I charge every 5-6 days.

Vivoactive 5 dropped the barometric pressure sensor. That makes it a no go for me.
Interesting. I know Garmin uses the barometer to determine stair steps, but this is very close to a "don't care" for me. The Vivoactive is the biggie for me, but I can see the MIP display on the Vivoactive 4 just fine most of the time.​

The Vivosense 5 has the AMOLED display and the next gen GPS and heart monitor chip. The AMOLED is the biggie for me, but I can see the MIP display on the Viosense 4 just fine most of the time.​

Depends where you live and what you do. I love having a barometer on my 955 as I can tell what elevation I'm at without starting an activity. I live in CO though so it's more relevant than when we were in IL and it's flat.

oh well.

Is there a trick for getting this deal to work? Maybe clicking through some BCBS link?

Looks like they updated it Frown was going to buy it this morning, waited to think about it, and now it's 399 period. Not getting it for that price.

If your employer participates in Virgin Pulse, the Venu 3 is $319. At least it was a few minutes after midnight this morning 😁

Ok, I figured it out. This discount pricing is still valid (I ordered a moment ago), but, to see the discounted prices in your cart and on check out, you need to click through your health plan's web site, which saves the the cookie necessary to make these prices valid. Participating providers include Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser (look for Kaiser's ChooseHealthy link), among others.

One more follow up to the above…. When you click through your health providers web site, it may send you to a page with a bunch of older Garmin models. Ignore that page and browse to the rest of the Garmin web site, where all watches should be 20% off.
