Cyber Monday 2023 is here! The celebration of all things consumerist is the perfect opportunity to pick out a Garmin GPS computer, smartwatch or other Garmin tech deal.

Many retailers have launched extensive sales (see our links below), where you'll find all sorts of Cyber Monday cycling deals – and several of them have cut the prices of a range of Garmin products.

A smartwatch, such as those made by Garmin, can prove a valuable tool for cyclists. Not only do these handy devices work as fitness trackers – storing data about your heart rate and other metrics – they also provide valuable information about your ride. The best smartwatches for cycling can even be used for navigation.

The Garmin Edge GPS devices, meanwhile, are considered to be some of the best bike computers out there.

We've split this list into the best Garmin bike computer, smartwatch, and pedals and lights deals, which you can jump to by hitting the links below:

The Edge 530 is a GPS bike computer that’s packed with features and marketed at serious riders who want a range of performance metrics and navigation features at their disposal, and are happy with the button-controlled interface.

In our Garmin Edge 530 review, we gave this bike computer four stars out of five, praising the breadth of features in such a compact device, including ride recording, turn-by-turn navigation and various performance stats, such as FTP tracking.

The Edge 530 has been surpassed by the Edge 540, but still offers plenty of performance-orientated features for your training.

Garmin Rally is the brand's latest power meter pedal system, and the RS200s are the first Shimano SPD-SL compatible pedals. This is a real advantage if you already use Shimano pedals, because you won't have to swap to another type of cleat and setup.

In testing, we found the Garmin Rally RS200 power meter pedals offered accurate and reliable power data and were easy to use.

The pedals come at a premium cost, but the price isn't out of line with other high-end dual-sided power meter pedals, and this discount from Wiggle helps too. There are no deals in the US worth considering, with most retailers selling at or close to RRP.

With an output of 800 lumens, the Varia UT800 might not be the brightest light for its price, but it makes up for that with smart features and integration with your GPS.

You can set it up to increase in brightness as you ride faster, conserving battery life when you need less light. It also uses ambient light to vary output and can be controlled via an Edge bike computer.

You get three constant and two flashing modes, run times between 1.5 and 20 hours, and the Varia UT800 can be fixed to a helmet or using a GoPro mount.

Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview Bike Radar and Tail Light – £169.99 £129 (save 23%)

Which Garmin device should I buy?

Garmin devices fall into two broad categories: GPS computers and wearables (smartwatches).

GPS computers can be attached to the handlebars of your bike via a mount. All Garmin bike computers contain GPS chips, so at the very minimum will let you know where you’ve been, how far you’ve ridden and at what speed.

However, while lower-end models such as the Edge 130 will give you a breadcrumb-style trail, more advanced computers such as the Edge 530, Edge 830 and Edge 1040 Solar will offer extra features such as turn-by-navigation and route recalculation.

Take a look at our full Garmin Edge bike computers buyer’s guide for a more detailed lowdown on the Edge range.

Garmin’s wearables, by contrast, are more focused on fitness and health, and there are a lot out there. The brand has six ranges of smartwatch, although there’s plenty of overlap in terms of specs and features.

Basic features across nearly every model include step counting, sleep monitoring and smartphone notifications. As the models advance, they incorporate extra features such as not just tracking your heart rate but also measuring VO2 max and lactate threshold.

The good news is that as the technology in both categories advances, the basic models are capable of more and more. So our advice is to not overreach beyond your budget, and to prioritise what’s most important to you.

Are you looking to improve your ride performance by tracking your stats? Or are you looking for a wayfinder on your ride that’s more built-for-purpose than your smartphone?

How to get a good deal on Black Friday

Deals should never be taken at face value – they’re not necessarily the bargains they might first appear to be. Read on for a few tips in spotting genuinely good Black Friday Garmin deals:

  • Conduct a spot of pre-deal research. See what the experts, who have tested a product, have to say about it before you commit to buying. Head to our Garmin reviews and news page for information about the latest products
  • Put together a wishlist of items. Of course, you might get inspired while browsing and find an unexpected perfect cycling Christmas gift for someone – but remember that retailers and markets do an exceptional job of convincing you to buy something you don’t necessarily want
  • As mentioned, don’t assume a deal is genuinely good just because you see a huge discount against an RRP. The product might well have not been at the RRP price for months or even years prior – the best way to get around this is to take note of product prices way ahead of Black Friday
  • Shop around – if you see what looks like an amazing deal, add it to your shopping basket. But before you pay at the checkout, have a quick look at Google’s price results to check it’s not cheaper elsewhere. And don’t forget that retailers such as Currys and John Lewis promise to match prices, so hold them to it!

Should I wait for Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday, as the name suggests, has always been something exclusively online. But as online shopping has increased, we imagine there will be less of a clear-cut divide between Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

Our advice this year is to not hang on until Cyber Monday to see if an already-discounted product drops any further in price. With so many more people shopping online, products are likely to sell out even faster.
