Amazon Prime Day is a great time to pick up a new GPS watch, but it's important not to rush your decision because the most impressive looking deals aren't always what they seem. That's the case with the original Garmin Instinct this year, in both the UK and the US, where this tough sports watch has been considerably cheaper before. Wait a few weeks, or perhaps a couple of months at most, and you'll probably be able to get a better deal than you can today.
So what's going on? After all, Amazon has the watch marked down by 43% in the US and 49% in the UK. That certainly sounds good – and if this was a newer device, it would be. The original Garmin Instinct was released in 2018, and and using Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel, you can see that its price has fluctuated greatly over time, particularly since the launch of the Garmin Instinct 2 last year.
