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.
Bestbuy has the Epix 2 Pro at 499. Researching how to use HSA for this, anyone has experience?
Generally, you can't simply use HSA funds to purchase a Garmin smart watch. What you'll need is a letter of medical necessity, otherwise you would fail an audit. Garmin partners with a company called Truemed that can provide one. After you purchase a watch, you can fill out a Truemed survey about your medical history. If you have a history of hearth disease, obesity, etc, you can probably get approved. However, you have to purchase the watch first and there is no guarantee you get the letter of medical necessity. I also don't know how to do it though a different retailer like Amazon.
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.
