With June coming to a close soon, we have Prime Day to look forward to. For nearly the entire last full week of the month, Amazon will be hosting it’s big semiannual savings event in which buyers can find discounts across almost everything from PC parts to jars of mayonnaise. It’s Amazon, they have everything—and a lot of it will be on sale. In fact, some of it is already on sale.
Ahead of Prime Day—which lasts from Tuesday, June 23 to Friday, June, 26—you can find this second-generation Garmin epix Pro on sale for half price. The sapphire edition of this performance smartwatch normally sells for $1,000, but the early Prime Day deal has it going for only $500 for a limited time.
The Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) has a large 1.3-inch screen with an AMOLED display. It’s always on and designed to look great in any lighting, even during those long runs out in the sun.
The sapphire edition has a scratch-resistant sapphire lens along with a titanium bezel that not only looks great, but will hold up to the elements a lot better than an aluminum casing. Don’t be afraid if it gets banged up a bit.

Battery life is super reliable. When in smartwatch mode, you can get the Garmin epix Pro to last up to 16 days.
