For those who ever fancied one of Garmin's GPS technology-equipped smartwatches but have been put off by the price, now's the chance to get hold of one for a good bit less. The US-based firm has discounted a number of its devices for Cyber Monday, with savings of up to 57 percent.
For starters, similar to Fitbit, its kids' vivofit jr. activity tracker is down to $40 from $80 in three different color schemes. Aimed at encouraging children to stay active, it tracks steps, sleep, and activity against a recommended 60 minutes per day. There's a monitoring app for parents and the battery will last for up to a year.

The most entry-level device on offer for adults is the Garmin Forerunner 645 running watch, which can store up to 500 songs for listening to via Bluetooth headphones and tracks biomechanical metrics like cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation, and vertical ratio. It's currently available for $220, but cheaper at the moment is the Garmin vivomove HR, which has been reduced by 50 percent to $150. The vivomove HR is an activity tracking smartwatch focussed on health with 24/7 heart-rate monitoring, stress tracking, a relaxation timer, and a suite of fitness tools.
There's also a 50-percent reduction for one Garmin's higher-end devices, the fenix 5S Plus. Described by Garmin as a multisport GPS smartwatch, it boasts wrist heart rate technology, colour TopoActive Europe maps, music streaming via Bluetooth, and Garmin Pay for contactless payments. With other Garmin devices also on offer too, there's likely one to suit any lifestyle and budget.
