While most people are familiar with Apple Watch and Samsung smartwatches, Garmin is also a top-notch wearable tech brand to consider. This summer, if you want to keep track of your fitness progress, but can’t afford a personal trainer, you can buy yourself one of the best fitness trackers and outdoor smartwatches in the market. From the same line as the Garmin Fenix 5X, the sapphire is dependable, rugged, and perfect for the outdoors. This ultimate multisport GPS smartwatch is receiving a rather steep discount from Walmart right now.

The Garmin Fenix 5X is currently available on Walmart for a massive $185 off. Get one for $465 instead of its usual price of $650 and start training like a beast. The Fenix 5X boasts mapping and route planning, a couple of features not found in the rest of the Fenix family. All in all, it’s a pretty solid smartwatch deal ahead of the best Labor Day sales.

This handsome sports-centric smartwatch is ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who track their pursuits in the minutest detail. There are still a few more weeks left to enjoy summer before school officially starts. What better way to spend it than to head outdoors and do some physical activities? Hiking, running, cycling, swimming, kayaking, the possibilities are endless.

This Garmin smartwatch is a quintessential BBW (big, burly watch) with an appearance like its predecessor, the Fenix 3 HR. It sports the same round face and five-button layout (three on the left side, two on the right), a similar stainless-steel bezel, and the identical sapphire crystal lens. The Fenix 5X is water-resistant to depths of up to 100 meters so you can take it with you while swimming, snorkeling, and even scuba-diving.

This smartwatch is burly and is equally feature-packed. It has an optical heart monitor on the back for tracking your heart rate, which comes in handy in determining when to bring your pace up or slow down when you work out. It also includes pre-configured apps for tracking numerous sports, like cycling, walking, hiking, running, swimming, snowboarding, skiing, stand-up paddling, rowing, and even golf. Track your improvement by connecting the Fenix 5X to another device through Bluetooth or uploading your data to Garmin’s online fitness community.

The main draw of the Fenix 5X is its unique onboard GPS maps. It allows you to search for the best training routes and plan your routes more easily and provides you with comprehensive directions and an array of useful information. And while you’re on foot or on the road, you can search for local points of interests like shops, restaurants, gas stations, and more. Never get lost with this thing on your wrist.

Powered by a lithium-ion battery, the Fenix 5X can last a formidable two weeks with four or five tracked activities per week. Charging it back to 100% takes less than two hours.

Handsomely rugged, capable of supporting multiple sports, and equipped with awesome onboard maps, the Garmin Fenix 5X is the ideal partner for serious fitness enthusiasts. It does come with a very high price tag, so for something far more affordable check out the Garmin Vivosport and our best fitness trackers for 2019.

Here's a highly recommended offer from Crutchfield if you're on the lookout for headphone deals -- the Sony WH-1000XM5 for $328, which is what they were going for during last year's Black Friday. If you weren't able to buy them for this cheap for any reason, here's another chance at the $70 discount on their original price of $398. We're not sure how long stocks will last though, so if you want to buy these wireless headphones for a more affordable price, you're going to have to add them to your cart and check out as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones
There are multiple reasons why the Sony WH-1000XM5 reign supreme in our roundup of the best headphones, but it all begins with its impressive active noise cancellation that allows them to stand out among other wireless headphones. They're very comfortable to wear, so you'll be able to maximize their long battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge with ANC activated and up to 40 hours without it, and they'll allow you to call up Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant through voice commands.

This Garmin smartwatch tops up its battery with solar, and it’s $170 off

There's a lot to be said about having a smartwatch these days, especially if you're the type of person who wants a device to help keep track of their fitness activities, such as running, steps taken, or even heart rate. Luckily, Garmin watches do just that, being as much, if not more of, a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, and are perfect if you need something to keep up with a fitness lifestyle. In fact, you can grab a mid-range Garmin Instinct Solar right now for just $230 from Kohl's instead of the usual $400, which is quite a substantial discount on a pretty excellent watch.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct Solar
The Garmin Instinct Solar is essentially the same watch as the regular Garmin Instinct, except that the front screen has a small solar panel that lets you charge the watch while using it in daylight. That added charging can make quite a difference, as when you use it in GPS mode, it extends the battery life up to nearly 30 hours, and in smartwatch mode, you could potentially go weeks or months without recharging. Of course, that is assuming it's getting the most efficient sunlight, so there will be a bit of variation depending on where you use it, but the numbers are still impressive either way.

This is Dell's best price of the year for the machine, which means it's going to attract a lot of attention from shoppers. To make sure that you're able to take advantage of this offer, you're going to have to push through with the transaction as soon as possible, while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC
The primary reason why you'll want to go for all-in-one computers like the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC is to eliminate clutter on your workstation. With a 23.8-inch Full HD screen built into its body, you remove the need for a cable that connects the monitor to your desktop computer. Every purchase comes with a wired keyboard and mouse, but if you replace these with their wireless counterparts, the only cable that you'll have to deal with when setting up the Dell Inspiron 24 All-in-One PC would be its power cord.
