Garmin's Fenix 8 AMOLED and Epix 2 Pro deal stands out for steep pricing on premium multisport watches, with the Epix 2 Pro drawing attention for its sapphire screen on titanium versions and the Fenix 8 titanium AMOLED landing around $800 shipped in one reported checkout. The main catch is deal reliability, since the coupon code stopped working for several attempts and the site has a reputation for slow shipping and weak customer service. A separate note points to REI discounts as a possible fallback, making this a strong price watch if the code still applies.
Outdoor athletes who want an AMOLED Garmin with sapphire protection, because the titanium options include a sapphire screen.
The GARMIN500 code is reported to work for some shoppers, but it also fails on the Epix Gen 2 Pro 42mm and 47mm for others. If it does not apply, the deal may already be dead or restricted to specific variants.
The Epix 2 Pro is described as having sapphire only on the titanium versions; the non-titanium versions are listed as glass. That makes the material choice important if you want the more scratch-resistant display.
An REI associate reportedly mentioned a 22% off sale on November 14, and REI was also running a Black Friday event with $250 off Garmin Fenix models. That could make REI a stronger fallback if this coupon stops working.
The site is reported to have delayed shipping and poor customer service, with some orders not shipping for weeks. That makes it worth checking recent feedback before relying on the listed price.
Invest your HSA. Buy with FSA if you have one (which you'd be ineligible to use if you currently contribute to HSA).
This is great advice, so many of my coworkers have short term thinking about hsa that it's tax advantaged money to spend now.. company gives me 500 each year and then I fully fund HSA at end of year (after Roth IRA funded) and then do a "60day rollover" (1 per 365days time) in January to Fidelity HSA and can invest in anything without all the company ran HSA fees and restrictions..
Codes are dead BTW, wanted a F8 47 titanium amoled which worked yesterday for 800 shipped. This site has some really bad reviews if you search about not shipping product for weeks and bad CS
Coupon code not working for me. REI is having $250 on Gramin Fenix for their black friday event though. Not quite as good as this deal but still pretty great savings.
Thanks for the reminder, today is the 14th.. I was at REI like 1.5 months ago trying on the F8 dummy models and the guy looked up any future sales and said 22% off on Nov 14th.. will sweeten the deal if it gives you the points dividend

The sapphire Epix 2 Pro option includes a sapphire screen, which can reduce concerns about glass-only variants.
The titanium Epix options are the ones described as having sapphire, while non-titanium options are described as glass.
REI is offering a separate Garmin Fenix promotion with $250 off during its Black Friday event.
A potential improvement to the deal may come from REI points dividend if the sale timing aligns with the predicted discount.
The coupon code did not work when attempting to duplicate the deal.
The coupon code reportedly does not work for both 42mm and 47mm Epix Gen 2 Pro models.
The site has bad reviews about delayed shipping and customer service, which can affect delivery expectations.
A Fenix without MIP is described as a major drawback, which can matter for readability and usability preferences.
