It’s that time of year again when there are tons of sales on all sorts of sports technology items. Everything this year is pointing to earlier sales than normal, as manufacturers and retailers alike try to lock in your dollars ahead of time.
The typical ebb and flow of this time period is:
Pre-Thanksgiving deals: These are everything ahead of the US Thanksgiving, on November 22nd. These were pretty solid this year.
Black Friday deals: These are tied to Black Friday (BF), on November 23rd. Some span this entire weekend. Generally speaking, most retailers have access to the same major deals (i.e. Garmin, Fitbit, etc…).
Cyber Monday deals: These are on Monday, November 26th. Occasionally they spill into that Tuesday the 27th as well.
General December deals: We tend to see ‘repeats’ of some deals in the mid-December time-frame (usually around the 10th-15th). These are rarely better than BF deals, but usually quite good.
There are many deals that don’t go live until tomorrow, Friday, Black Friday (like Bond, James Bond). As such, you won’t find them listed here. But at 12:01AM US Eastern Time they’ll automatically show up in the listings below.
Some deals have a specific quantity of items attached, which may be a few or a ton. And others are very time-limited, like Amazon deals. Note that while many deals are US-focused, in recent years we’ve seen Europe really get into the Black Friday/Cyber Monday side. So definitely good news there!
Here’s what’s currently active. The ones I feel are the best bang for the buck, have a little * at the front of them. Of course, many of these are great deals if you’re in the market for it already. It’s just the ones with the stars are exceptionally unusual.
This year I’ve split them into categories of products, to make them a bit easier to sift through. Oh, and the list is updated constantly (upwards of 20-30 times a day during Black Friday weekend!).
Watches & Wearables:
This covers anything you can wear that’s watch-like or activity band-like. Generally speaking, you’ll mostly find deals here that are on things I’ve written about in the past. So you won’t find a deal on some random non-sports tech watch here, or on socks. Unless the socks have some crazy sensor or something in them.

 | Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $100 off | $153 | Amazon | | ⚡ Both myself and my wife have been using these since last fall, after years of using the Beats Studio Buds...man, these things rock.

$159 | $89 | Amazon | | These aren't the latest anymore, that's the newer 4th gen units. But if budget is in mind, it's hard to beat these. It's still what my wife uses as her daily driver, including tons of time on the indoor trainer/bike. |

$249/$299 (cellular) | $149 | Amazon | | ⚡⚡This matches again the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 11 features around Training Load, Vitals, offline mapping, and more. |

 | Fitbit Ace LTE Kids Activity Smartwatch - $60 off | $160 | Amazon | | ⚡ This was just announced this summer, and is their first full smartwatch focused on kids activity tracking and gamification. This is the lowest price we've seen to date. |
 | Fitbit Charge 6 - 38% off!
$159 | $99 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is the go-to sale price for the Fitbit Charge 6. It happens often, but it still doesn't take away from the fast that it's argueably the best bang for your buck fitness tracker out there. |

 | Fitbit Sense 2 - $70 off | $179 | Amazon | | |
 | Fitbit Versa 4 - $40 off | $119 | Amazon | | |

They/we all like it. Check out my full in-depth review for all my thoughts. The $20 off is about the only sale you'll see. |
 | Garmin Enduro 3: ~$50 off!
$899 | $851 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've seen this on sale, and I suspect this is a transient Amazon sale. The Enduro 3 is basically the 'cheaper' Garmin Fenix 8 with a MIP display (but without the scuba or voice calling features). |
 | Garmin Epix Pro Series - 20% off!
$899/$999 | $649 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Epix Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back (Epix as a brand was merged into the Fenix 8 branding). Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |
 | Garmin Fenix 7 Pro - 31% off (All Variants)
$799+ | $549+ | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back. Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) - $100 off!
$249/$299 | $199 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date, and argueably one of the best deals this Black Friday in terms of runners watches and bang for the buck. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 Music - $50 off! | $249 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've head a meaningful sale on the Forerunner 165, released earlier this year, down to $249 for the Music edition, and $199 for the non-music edition. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S Music - $100 off!
$349/$399 | $299 | Amazon | | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |

 | Garmin Forerunner 55 - $50 off
$199 | $149 | Amazon | | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. This is the lowest sale price to date. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100ish off! | $399 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's down to a very strong price. I often use this in my accuracy testing comparisons when validating other watches, due to it's very strong GPS performance. Note this is the base edition without solar. It'd be hard to find any better deal in sports watches today, from any company (given this has full mapping, tons of new features even this week, etc...). I say '$100ish', because it's usually been on forever sale at $499, so $399 is a strong price, though, it dipped to $319 for Amazon Prime Day. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 965 - $100 off! | $499 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen ever on the Forerunner 965, since it's launch. It's still Garmin's top-end Forerunner watch, and I expect it to stay that way for a while. It's one I often use in comparative testing as a reference device. |
 | Garmin HRM-FIT - $15 off
$149 | | Amazon | | Look, this isn't much of a discount, but it's the first discount we've seen to date...so...better than nothing. |
 | Garmin HRM-PRO Plus - 20% off
$129 | $103 | Amazon | | A solid little deal for this strap, if you're in the Garmin ecosystem and want a dedicated chest strap. This strap is one of the two straps I use constantly for other HR sensor accuracy comparisons (alongside Polar H10) |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $100 Off | $199 | Amazon | | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $199, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. The Solar editions are also on sale. |
 | Garmin Instinct 2S & 2S Solar $100 off! | $199-$299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $199, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. The Solar editions are also on sale for $299 |
 | Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is a solid deal. Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off!It's best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, as it has almost enough features to really be more of an Instinct 3 (which doesn't exist at this point). |
 | Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | | |
 | Garmin Tactix 7 Pro - 20% off | $1,049 | Amazon | | This is the largest discount we've seen to date on the Tactix 7 Pro unit. Note the other Tactix 7 Pro units/variants are also on sale for 20% off too (this link takes you to all of them). |
 | Garmin Venu 3 - $100 off!
$449 | $349 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. |
 | Garmin Venu 3S - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. The Venu 3S is simply the smaller edition. |
 | Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $110 off!
$299 | $189 | Amazon | | This is a great deal for Garmin's little-sibling to the Venu series. It has almost all the same features as the Venu 3, except the voice calling related bits. |
 | Oura Ring Gen 3 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | | While Oura just released their Gen 4 ring (which I'm currently testing), I'll be frank, there's virutally no real-world difference to Gen 3. About the only notable thing is the battery life difference (which is legit 7 days now, versus real-world 4-5 on Gen3). Otherwise, same-same. |
 | Polar Verity Sense - 15% off
$99 | $84 | Amazon | | I use this as one of my reference devices for heart rate accuracy testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Ring - $50 Amazon Gift Card Included | $399 | Amazon | | Not a straight discount, but Amazon gift card is basically cash for most of us. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40 & 44mm) - $100 off! | $202 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is a very solid deal for one of Samsung's best watches to date, and also just released this summer. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - $215 off! | $434 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is by *FAR* the lowest price we've seen on this brand new watch. This scored very well in my accuracy tests, as well as battery testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - Just a crapton off | $120 | Amazon | | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $200 off | $199 | Amazon | | I'd probably go with the Samsung Watch 7, unless you *really* want the physical bezel (which admittedly, is a heck of a lot better than the touch bezel on the Watch 7). Either way, this is a very solid price. |
 | Scosche RHYTHM+ 2.0 ANT+ & Bluetooth HR Monitor
$79 | $39 | Amazon | | This isn't the newest chicken on the block, but for $39?!?! That's a solid deal for something that's actually pretty darn accurate. Really accurate. |
 | Suunto Race - $50 off! | $399 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Suunto Race. That said, keep in mind the Suunto Race S is $349, has the same software and a *MUCH* better optical HR sensor. Though, is a bit smaller and slightly less battery life. Still, great watches. |
 | Suunto Race Titanium - $50 off! | $499 | Amazon | | |
 | Suunto Vertical (Solar edition) - $150 off | $549 | Amazon | | This unit continues to get all the most current updates, and is Suunto's MIP-enabled device with dual-frequency GPS and mapping. |
 | Whoop 4.0 with 1-year subscription - 17% off | $199 | Amazon | | This brings down the 1-year price to $17/month, which is the lowest it's been (only way to get that is normally a 24-month membership). |
Cycling Gear & Trainers:
Got a bike? Then this section is for you. Everything from bike computers to bike lights to trainers, it’s all here. I won’t generally be adding things like brake cables or bike seats here, but if I find a good deal on a cassette to stack on that new direct drive trainer you just bought, I’ll probably list it here.
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes |
 | EVOC Bike Travel Bag Pro - $45 off! | $755 | Amazon | | This isn't on sale a lot. But, it's notably the bag I use (as does my wife). Works great, packed in all types of bikes into it over the years. |
 | Favero Assioma Duo/Uno Power Meter Pedals - 20% off!
$459/$719 (single/dual) | | N/A | Favero Site | ⚡ This is a strong deal from Favero, who is offering their Favero Assioma Duo pedals for 20% off. You'll pay the current exchange rate. The exact deal will vary based on which country you're shipping to. |
 | Garmin Edge 1040 Cycling GPS - $100 off! | $499 | Amazon | | This is a good deal, especially since it's gotten virtually all of the Edge 1050 updates, and then a boatload more. That said, it wouldn't surprise me to see this drop further to $449, as it did this past summer. |
 | Garmin Edge 540 - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 540 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is kinda an insane deal for this unit. |
 | Garmin Edge 540 Solar - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 540 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. |
 | Garmin Edge 840 - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | REI | ⚡⚡This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 840 to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. This is one of my main units I use daily. |
 | Garmin Edge 840 Solar - $100 off | $449 | Amazon | REI | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Edge 840 Solar to date, which has gained virtually all of the new Garmin Edge 1050 features as well. |
 | Garmin Edge Explore 2 - $40 off
$299 | $269 | Amazon | Competitive Cyclist | This is a great little unit, though, with the sales on the Edge 540 and 840 series, you might want to look at those instead. |
 | Garmin Varia RCT715 Camera Radar - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen on this unit ever. While I have some quibbles with it from an app/etc standpoint, it's still the best offering on the market by far for integrated radar + camera + bike light features. |
 | Garmin Varia RVR315 Radar - $50 off | $99 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is Garmin's radar without the light, so it's a bit smaller as a result. Same radar tech though, and compatible with Garmin/Stages/Hammerhead/Wahoo bike computers. |
 | Garmin Varia Radar (RTL515) - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | REI | This is Garmin's standalone radar+taillight option, and $149 is pretty much the standard sale-price. |
 | Wahoo BOLT V2 - 26% off
$279 | $208 | Amazon | | ⚡ This price is very solid for this unit, especially if you want a smaller bike computer that's very solid in terms of software stability at this point. I believe this is the lowest price ever. |
 | Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2 - 15% off
$399 | $339 | Amazon | | While Wahoo has announced a new bike computer coming December 3rd, this is Wahoo's top-end unit for now. 15% off is pretty much the norm for them. |
Action Cameras & Drones:
Wanna record it? No better way than an action camera. Anything that’s action camera related or drone related you’ll find here. That’s especially true of action camera mounts, which are often found for great deals around the holidays. Same goes with drone and drone accessories. Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes |
 | DJI Action 4 - $90 off | $209 | Amazon | | While not the latest unit, it's still a pretty good deal at $209. |
 | DJI Air 3 Drone - 20% off all packages | From $859 | Amazon | | This is a good-ish deal. Yet at the same time, the new DJI Air 3S jsut came out and is significantly better, especially for sports tracking. I'd probably pay the extra for it. |
 | DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo with DJI RC - $200+ off | $369 | Amazon | | |
 | DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC2 - $300 off! | $869 | Amazon | | This is DJI's most powerful small drone, and the lowest price we've seen to date. |
 | DJI Mini 4K Drone - $60 off | $209 | Amazon | | ⚡ ⚡ This is an incredible deal. I actually picked up one of these back a few months ago to test, but I've used it in a boatload of review shots since then. Despite me owning all the DJI drones (seriously), this is by far the best value there is. This also has far better quality than the Neo, though, zero tracking capabilities. |
 | GoPro Hero 12 Black - $100 off! | $299 | Amazon | | The new Hero 13 just came out, which mostly just adds a bunch of new accessory options. If you don't plan to purchase those accessories, then this is a solid deal. |
 | GoPro Hero 13 Black - $100 OFF! | $299 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is the first time we have seen the newly announced GoPro Hero 13 Black on sale, and now even lower for the non-bundled version to $299! That's crazy! |
| GoPro Hero 13 Black - $60 OFF! | $339 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the first time we have seen the newly announced GoPro Hero 13 Black on sale. Solid deal, this is my daily use action cam! That said, the bundle version listed below this is a better deal, since for $10 more you get a bunch of other things. |
 | GoPro Hero 4K - $20 off | $179 | Amazon | REI | This was just released back in September, and is GoPro's budget option, which includes a full color touchscreen on the back as well. |
 | Insta360 Ace Pro Action Cam - $50 off | $299 | Amazon | | This is the previous edition, as the Ace Pro 2 just came out a few weeks back, but this is still a very solid camera from a year ago. |
 | Insta360 GO 3S Tiny 4K Action Camera - $60 off! | $239 | Amazon | | This is a great deal for this tiny little thing, which should really be named the Go 4, given how many new features it has (including 4K). It also has all the Insta360 sport integration features with Garmin & Apple, to overlay your Garmin/Apple data automatically on your footage. |
 | SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSD Card - 18% off! | $28 | Amazon | | I use this card for all of my drones and action cams. Sometimes, also the 512GB version as well. |
Other Sports & Fitness:
Anything else that’s sports and fitness related that I think is interesting will be here. It may not be super techy – but it’s stuff that most readers will be using in pursuit of their running/cycling/swimming/hiking/whatever.
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Other site | Sale Notes |
 | Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) - $100 off | $299 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is my defacto satellite communicator when out of coverage area, and I've used it on a number of major treks over the past two years when well outside of cellular service, both in a 24x7 tracking mode for friends and family, but also there in case of emergency. Would strongly recommend for anyone doing anything in the wilderness. |
 | Peloton Guide - A crapton % off | $45 | Amazon | | Peloton keeps trying to get rid of these - and $45 is hilariously cheap (it started in a bundle for $495, and has slowly worked it's way down from there). |
 | Peloton Tread - $300 off | $2,695 | Amazon | | This is my main treadmill at home, and I really like it. I've got no complaints about it, and am happy I went with the smaller Peloton Tread versus the bigger unit. |
 | Therabody Theragun Prime - 36% off | $190 | Amazon | | My wife uses the Theragun Elite, which is relatively similiar to this newer model. |
 | Withings Body Comp WiFI Scale - 25% off | $149 | Amazon | | |
 | Withings Body Smart WiFI Scale - 20% off | $79 | Amazon | | |
 | ZOLEO Satellite Communicator - $50 off | $149 | Amazon | | I have not yet tried the Zoleo unit, though, many of you have and it's super popular. |
DCR’s Random Gadget List
This is basically the mostly totally unrelated gadgets and things I think are cool deals that I’ve likely bought one or five of (you can never have too many, right)? Some of it’s probably photography stuff. Some of it’s random stuff like chargers and battery packs that I use daily, fun camera gear I use to make videos like sliders and turntables, and well…just random things you’ll find around the DCR Cave. It’s all random…but it’s all awesome randomness!
| Product | Sale Price | Amazon | Sale Notes |
 | Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Kit - 30% off! | $125 | Amazon | ⚡ Let's be honest: This place runs on Nespresso (or, well, the knock-off pods we buy). But, the machine is Nespresso. Without it, reviews most definitely would not get done (and certainly not on time). This is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me! |
 | 10th Gen Apple 10.2" iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - $90 off! | $249 | Amazon | ⚡ This is an awesome deal. I use my iPad primarily for TrainerRoad as well as Zwift when not with a larger display. I also occasionally use it for other apps, namely Indievelo, Kinomap, Rouvy, and Peloton. But I pretty much test every smart trainer app on it. For all these cycling apps, the graphics capabilities is really pretty irrelevant, so having the absolute top-end/latest model won't make any difference. I prefer the budget options. |
 | Amazon Echo Dot Kids - 50% off | $27 | Amazon | Despite being a tech-focused dude, our kids don't actually get much tech in their lives. However, we got these last Christmas for them in their rooms, to play music. They do lots of other things, but our kids mostly just use it to play music (from Spotify and Apple Music too), and occasionally they ask it questions. It has all the parental controls I want, so it locks it down from bedtime/etc...For $27? Solid deal (The coolest 'nice touch' feature is that if you whisper to it, it'll whisper back...in the owl kids voice it has.) |
 | Anker 737 Battery Bank (24,000mAh) - 47% off | $79 | Amazon | ⚡I've been using this on my hikes/treks/daily life since lst winter, and have been super happy with it. I can charge drones from it on treks, as well as just a crapton of other devices (wathces/action cams/etc), but it's not too terrible on weight. For day to day life, I use it on planes and such as a laptop battery bank (supports 100w charging). Super happy with it. |
 | Anker PowerCore III 10K Wireless Portable Charger with18W USB-C - 48% off | $28 | Amazon | I've been using this unit for a long time as a quick grab and go charger. Best as a day-use thing, especially with the wireless charging when my phone gets wet at the beach/pool/etc and needs wireless charging till the charging port dries out. |
 | Apple AirTags (4-Pack) - 26% off! | $72 | Amazon | ⚡I make no secret how much I utilize AirTags, mainly, cause they've saved my butt numerous times already. We have them in every suitcase, and every backpack, and every bike bag. They're also hidden in most of our bikes (sometimes two of them). We were able to get our cargo bike back when it disappeared, as well as figure out when all our suitcases went missing during an annual family vacation where they were (for 5 days!), and plan appropriately. Seriously, just get them. |
 | Balega Comfort Running Socks - 34% off
$15 | $14 | Amazon | This is the singular piece of apparel that's lasted the longest in my collection - some 15-16 years of buying the same socks. Heck, some of them are probably half that old. EIther way, this be the ones I use. Love them (well, except for hiking and trail running, then I use other stuff that goes higher). |
 | Chipolo Card Spot (Apple Find My Network) - 20% off! | $27 | Amazon | This is virtually identical to an Apple AirTag, and shows up in the exact same spot as your other AirTags within the Apple Find My app. The only difference is that it's the size of a credit card and fits in your wallet. Been using it since it came out a few years back - love it! |
 | Google Nest WiFi Pro - 6E (3xPack) - $120 off! | $279 | Amazon | I've been using the Google Nest WiFi packs for years. And this deal is strong enough that I clicked purchase on this deal to upgrade to the WiFi Pro after a few trusted reviewer friends upgraded as well. The 2x pack is also on sale for 34% off as well, if you don't need three pods. |
 | Jackery Portable Power Station - $100 off! | $169 | Amazon | This is something I use frequently when shooting out and about and I need to re-charge a crapton of drone batteries, action cameras, or just cameras and such. I also use it on trips to Eurobike and elsewhere to keep equipment charged. I've even bought a solar panel to hook up to it (surprisingly effective). Heck, I've even powered a KICKR trainer ride from it! |
 | Philips Hue Smart Lighting - 20-65% off | | Amazon | I use Philips Hue stuff all over the DCR Cave/Studio for lighting, both obviously colorful stuff in the background of shots, but also just for automation of the lights. Same goes at home. Love it (mainly when it's on sale like now). Starter packs are a good place to begin, and then I love the light strips (such as pictured). |
 | Samsung T9 SSD (2-4TB) - up to 40% off | $134 | Amazon | I use a literal flotilla of these small SSD's for all my photo/video projects until they get moved off to the NAS system (Synology) for longer term storage. I have T5/T7 units, and are picking up a few of the larger T9 ones given the sale prices. Love them, incredibly fast and reliable. |
 | SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SD Cards - 51% off | $29 | Amazon | ⚡I use the SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Cards exclusively for all my video/photo shooting on my Panasonic GH5 and Nikon cameras (video and stills), including up to 6K recording with the GH5. I've mostly used 128's, but more and more lately I'm filling up cards faster with higher bitrates, so this sale is gonna have me pickup a bunch of the 256GB ones instead. The 128GB/ 512GB/1TB ones are also on sale too viathe same link. Note that usually I wait till these are about $40-45, so this is a fantastic deal and I'll be filling up. |
| SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB MicroSD Card - 18% off! | $28 | Amazon | I use this card for all of my drones and action cams. Sometimes, also the 512GB version as well. |
 | Sony Alpha 7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Camera w/ 28-70mm Zoom - $400 off | $2,298 | Amazon | This is the main camera I use for still photography and video b-roll. I recently wrote about all the photography gear I use, linked at side here. |
European Deals!
What’s that? You’re not in the US and still want a deal? No problem! First off, you should note that some retailers do send some items overseas. For example, Clever Training can send many products overseas, and do so at a flat-rate $29USD shipping cost. You’ll want to check the individual item. For some deals, that could be a huge savings!
Beyond that, I’ll be tracking Euro-specific deals here. These will include both Clever Training Europe (UK) as well as Amazon European deals.
Woot – important! The Clever Training Europe deals below can be combined with the DCR 10% discount coupon code DCR10BTF. Boom! So yes, another 10% savings on top of these prices! Plus free shipping in Europe for orders over 75EUR (almost everything in the list from CT).
Note: On Amazon Europe deals, generally speaking, you can order from any Amazon European country site (i.e. Amazon France) and have it shipped within the EU (i.e. Spain). Thus, many times deals are duplicates across the sites.
Remember these days refresh each day for the most part, and usually only last a few hours. Jump if you see something you like!
There are no deals currently.
Test Section:
Didn’t find what you wanted?
No worries, you can still save a bundle, or help support the site. With Clever Training you can get 10% off everything they sell (except most sale/clearance items). You’ll just use the DCR coupon code DCR10BTF and boom, good to go! Plus, you’ll get free US shipping over $75. For a handful of items you may need to use the DCR/CT VIP program to get points back instead, but it only takes a moment to sign-up.
In addition, you can support the site with purchases from any of the below three retailers – no matter if it’s sports tech, or toilet paper. Just click on the link and you’re off!

Thanks for reading and supporting the site! And remember to keep checking back regularly. I’ll be posting updates to Twitter, so that’s probably the best place to follow for new updates.
Also – feel free to post sports-tech specific deals down below, however, if I think they’re spammy – I’ll zap them. Good? Thanks!
Thanks Ray!
So disappointed we’re not getting the Fenix 5+ discount in Europe :(
Wouldn’t be so bad if someone other than Garmin actually sold all the models, but for some reason they’ve decided some are exclusive to their own full priced store!
Yeah, I’ve never understood the whole exclusivity thing that Garmin EU/UK does. It’s just bizarre. I know of no other business on earth that tries as hard as Garmin EU/UK to not sell products. Be it taking days/weeks for new products to be available in the EU/UK (because Garmin is too slow to get listing information out), or as you noted, certain versions like the Fenix 5X Plus being restricted to first party sales or the like.
And that’s only the half of it.
Garmin Vivoactive 3 vs the Spartan Trainer both at $199. Which is the better deal? I have the Garmin 935 but was thinking one of these might be good as a second watch and to compare heart rate on occasion when the 935 is obviously off. Also, any thoughts on a heart rate strap to pair with the 935? Should I just but one of the Garmin or wait until a newer one is released. I’d sure like to have the option of memory.
GoPro has the Hero 7 Black bundled with an extra battery, a “Chesty” chest mount and an SD card for the normal price of the Hero 7 Black.
Thanks, added in!
Will CT be matching that?
I’ll find out. Typically getting GoPro onboard with last-second sale tweaks is tricky at best (the trickiest out of any company in the realm). Like Garmin, etc… GoPro has to explicitly approve all sales.
Still, will definitely give it a whirl!
Email reply… Nope. So I’ve gone for the gopro bundle.
Any suggestions for where to find good deals for race wheels?
Reynolds wheels are 25%off and 40%off for outlet items in their webpage, I hope that helps.
Thank you!!
I also found HED Jet 6 Plus for about 60% off. That is likely my choice.

Williams cycling has all their carbon clincher sets on sale for $899 set
You note ‘stay tuned’ for Wahoo products. I was hoping to get the Kickr Snap for the 20% off deal – is that a possibility? When might you make note of the Wahoo deals? Thanks!
Historically Wahoo has done 10% off most years, sometimes with a minor bundle or some sort. Hard to say on the SNAP, but I would wait till Monday to see what happens (which is usually when Wahoo drops their deals).
I was also frantically scrolling for the Wahoo deals.
Though I’m torn between the Core and a Tacx anyway
Check back tomorrow and Monday, that’s usually when magic happens.
Wahoo’s Black Friday “deals” are terrible this year. Only clearance pricing the noisy old KICKR? That’s it?
To be fair, that KICKR deal was pretty sweet.
Also, typically Wahoo tends to do most of their deals on Cyber Monday. Though, typically they also aren’t massive deals either.
Yep. I seem to recall they only do 10% off trainers and their deals are usually restrictive, like who really needs more HRMs? I bought my kickr v1 with a group buy at 20% off. That was never seen again as well. I’m kicking myself for missing this but had tons of trouble trying to use the CT website on my phone. It kept crashing my browser and gave up after 20 minutes. There was no way to get on a laptop. Oh well, at least I have no reason to shell out money now. I almost never pay attention to wahoo ad mails cause their deals tend to not be the same stuff throughout the year.
Any pizza oven deals?

Any deals on Mtb Xc 29″ carbon wheels (preferably Europe)?
Amazon.es Fenix 5 – 349 Eur. Nice price :-)
For the Garmin 935, do you think this will be the best holiday-time deal? I was hoping it would be at least $100 off, or better yet, $150 off like the Fenix. I don’t get it. Figures, I finally decide to pull the trigger on this vs. the Fenix 5s and it’s the only time in history it’s MORE expensive!
Exactly the same thought. After seeing the Fenix5 discounts I fully was expecting to get 935 under that 399 the Fenix5(s) go for… Had kind of already planned to pull the trigger with $345. I’ll just hold I guess for one more year before jumping to Garmin camp.. :)
Humon Hex is 30% off applied at checkout plus a free shirt which is about $90 off But this offer is only in the US. Guessing that coupon code you mention works in Europe

Cheap prices for Black Friday deals
It is a real deal mate. 50% for Garmin 5 families. And in Europe.
Ei paha…
In states the sale seem to focus on Fenix5 series on the same prices than Europe, but for example forerunner 935 has a huge difference. US
The sale by that retailer above isn’t a Garmin sale though, it’s just that retailer taking a loss on the items (since it’s below cost).
The ‘official’ EU/UK Garmin sales are noted above. Sometimes (most times), we also see additional Amazon Garmin sales, starting tomorrow. Though they tend to be short (few hour) type things.
Interested, but it seems shipping is only within Finland.
And you can add a soft Gen3 HRM strap only for 3.9 euro to a Fenix 5X, which costs itself 399 euro. Considering that the strap is normally 50 euro or so, it is a good discount indeed.
Those deals are insane! Fenix 5x Sapphire for 399€! Note that they also have Danish, Swedish and Norwegian sites, and the main Danish site seems to ship to the Netherlands.
I will be in Amsterdam next week but that’s probably going to be too tight.
Ray, would you arrange a group order for all of us? ;-)
AMAZON.IT DEAL
Garmin Vivoactive 3 WHITE 179 EUR
link to amzn.to
Too bad, i was really looking for a Favero Assiomas deal this BF!
+1
Powermeter24 20% off
Sorta. They offer 20% off, but they raised the non-sale price higher (or it’s always higher, one of the two). They list the Duo at $910, so 20% off is $728USD.
Meanwhile, Clever Training normal price as of today is $799. You use the standard DCR discount code there of 10%, and that puts you at $719. Oh, and free fast shipping. :)
Of course, ya never know what happens on Black Friday.
On the other hand, 20% off the Kickr Core isn’t bad…
Where do you see that?
They have a 20% off code that applies across the site, and even with delivery they aren’t charging much more than elsewhere for the Kickr Core. Only downside appears to be delivery times.
Who is “they”?
Duo’s at 695 euro at favero’s website. Shipping within 4 days. Good deal if you ask me
Chris, it’s powermeter24.com – they’re a German (I think) site but they ship across Europe quite reasonably.
yup I was tracking the price and I was really pissed off that they raise the DUO price today :/ not good for french-german friendship lol.
Anyway it’s 642,71 euros, cheapest price I have found so far for them in Europe.
Buying on clevertraining.com (US) with tthe DCR code it make 611 euros but I don’t know if taxes may apply :-(
Unfortunately the DUO is not well priced at 799 euros on the clevertraining.co.uk website.
I would hang tight on the pricing changes for the CT and other retailers.
While there had been rough discussions of such a price shift happening, last night’s announcement was sorta last minute (about 5 hours prior to going live). Typically retailers are given many weeks notice to get pricing updates done. In this case, it wasn’t expected to go live till sometime in December.
Slightly complicating matters for most retailers is the nuances to how Favero specifically sells to retailers. So it’s not as simple as just changing prices across the board without validating a bunch of stuff with Favero first.
Hang tight!
yup !
but as a lay person I was aware that Favero was gonna drop the price today ! So I guess big retailers knew it too !
any ideas on taxes if I buy from CT.com (US) to ship to France ?
Thanks
Yup, CT US would specify the correct valuation if shipping overseas. But honestly, I’d just wait for both CT US and CT UK to get fully updated.
Thank you Ray
IF you go to PowermeterCity, and apply POWERUP@PMC coupon at checkout, the price drops to $665…try it.
Which is $50 more than Clever Training. And more yet than you’ll pay once things get sorted out.
It appears that CT US don’t specify the correct valuation, they only tell you the shipping cost. As per the details on their site, the customer has to find out for themselves what import duties/custom taxes etc they would need to pay…
“Duties and Customs Charges:
Some countries charge duties or other fees on merchandise arriving from the United States based on the customs forms provided at shipping, please note that we cannot adjust these forms or mail packages as gifts. You are responsible for paying your country’s imposed charges when your package arrives. Each nation has different rules and rates that apply and these fees are not included in your order total. Please contact your customs office for information regarding duties and other taxes”
For shipments from US outbound, they do specify the value of the package (in USD), inclusive of the contents.
What they don’t do is attempt to calculate duties for the arrival country. That’s what they are saying there. So when they ship something to me here, then the local customs office assigns a duties value based on the information about the value of the items.
For the most part, the vast majority of US retailers don’t try and pre-calculate duties for countries overseas. It’s just too complex for smaller or medium sized companies to do when they have huge inventory (about 20,000 items for CT) and with 180 countries to ship to.
Indeed, and since remi was asking about the taxes (presumably he/she was referring to the import ones that France would charge)
Remi, “any ideas on taxes if I buy from CT.com (US) to ship to France ?”
you replied to his question with an implication that CT calculate those up front.
“Yup, CT US would specify the correct valuation if shipping overseas”
I wanted to clarify that they don’t….
I think there might be some language misunderstanding. Valuation is what the value of the package as sent to customs is. Whereas inclusive of taxes is when a retailer includes those in the price and pre-pays customs for you.
Remi was asking whether or not CT specified the correct valuation on the package (which then France would hit with a roughly 20% tax). Some people ask/hope that a company will specify a lower than accurate valuation so that the taxes are less.
Given I roughly know Remi from past conversations over the years, I figured I knew what he was asking. All inbound packages to France are subject to the 20% taxation, over a certain amount (it’s silly low – like 75EUR or something), and then some exclusions (books I think is one).
Hello, any news on discounts on polar vantage v in Europe? Thank you.
Nuttin I’ve seen, and I don’t expect it either to be honest. Polar doesn’t seem to get Black Friday sales. I’ve got zero sales listed for them (current or upcoming). I did see a BF only deal on either the A360 or A370 come into my French address e-mail, but I can’t find an equal version outside of that. And honestly, it wasn’t a great deal.
Doing the CT US 20% off VIP deal tomorrow for the Vantage V and importing it in would probably make the most sense.
Bummer, thanx for feedback.
So far you can get 15% discount and free shipping on this Italian website.
link to df-sportspecialist.it
What’s the clever training code?
The code will be posted/go-live at 8AM US Eastern time tomorrow. Them’s the rules.
Plus, a few more deals go live at precisely that time too…Enjoy!
Oops, it’s only Thursday!
Hi DCR,
Is the VIP code to be posted in this same page?
Thx.
Yup!
Can i also buy cricket sports good on black friday?
I noticed that the Forerunner 645 is on sale in Europe, but not the States.
Will that change between now and next Wednesday? I’m looking to replace my 630 with the 645 because of it’s support for indoor rowing and elliptical.
Been suffering from some chromic soreness in the knees, so I’ve been doing a bit less on the treadmill and more on other cardio machines, when I’m not using the Kick’r.
Thanks
-marc
Noticed the difference also. Above arsi linked juoksukauppa.fi where you also can get the Forerunner 935 with Eur 279 ($318 USD).
Link: link to juoksukauppa.fi
Makes a big difference if in states you pay $449 on it…
No US Garmin FR645 sales planned. It is unusual to see a EU deal for the FR645 (the official one isn’t huge, but it’s still there nonetheless.
The one from the Finnish site is just them running their own sale, so no specific Garmin-driven sale there (doesn’t mean it’s not a good deal).
Garmin Edge 1030 offer in Denmark

Bundle

2900 DKK about 444 USD
I have emailed the Danish shop, unfortunately they won’t ship to the most of Europe.
Meanwhile, Fenix 5 dropped prices to 299 euro on Amazon Germany. I would be more happy with a 935, though.
So far best deals for FR935 I’ve found:
Eur 374,99 (Gaglianogioielli.com)
Eur 389 (Nencini sport)
On Amazon germany (and shipping within EU), very good deals on Garmin watches:
Vivoactive for 150 euros
Fenix 5 for 319 euros!
You know, Amazon Germany is taking a loss, because it is below the cost.
LOL, it is funny to read when somebody defends a lower discount in market economy.
On the other hand nobody here may know what the fair price of F5 based on its production cost, because it is so easy to say that the marketing cost increases its price to the sky.
Finally you should always focus on whether you will be really pleased with a product or not. Price should not make people blind.
On Google Express it shows Target has the Garmin Forerunner 645 Music in Cerise for $404, that’s about 10% off.

For those looking for a deal on Favero Assioma: I got an email this morning from them (as a current owner) that they have the Duo on sale for 570EUR/650USD outside of the EU (i.e. no tax). link to cycling.favero.com
Prices may vary with shipping destination, I assume.
Indeed, effective Nov 23rd, 2018 the Favero Assioma pedals will be $649USD going forward (and $415USD). That’s a pretty substantial price-drop. Note, it may take a few more hours for Clever Training to display this new price, but they are planning to do so very shortly. Because it is a price change, the 10% DCR discount code will still apply.
The EU prices are 695EUR inclusive of VAT (Duo), and 445EUR inclusive of VAT (Uno).
Note also that there might be slight differences on the exact final USD price from retailers due to the sorta weird way that Favero charges US retailers (in EUR and not USD, so it’s not protected from exchange rates). Hang tight!
Awesome, i was looking for a BF deal for the uno, but this price drop is better as i was short on money to get the duo, so i may just wait a few weeks to get the duo then.
Wow – big drop there. Do you think that could precipitate some reaction from other manufacturers?
Hmm. It looks like the price only dropped to $739…
CT have updated the pricing but the 10% discount from DCR doesn’t apply to the product as they apply a default discount on checkout which prevents further coupon to be used. The price after default discount now is $665! Any idea if there would be further discounts on this?
Thanks
I show that it is still listed at $739. CT then gives a 10% discount.
Scott, add it to cart and you will see an automatic 10% discount being applied, making it $665 and due to this additional codes can’t be applied.
RE: “Wow – big drop there. Do you think that could precipitate some reaction from other manufacturers?”
Yes, though, not immediately. My guess is early next year. The first that’ll have to move is PowerTap since they’re at a disadvantage compared to Garmin. Then Garmin will likely have to move. My guess is Garmin will have to go to $899, maybe $799 if they’re feeling frisky. But I suspect in the 8’s somewhere.
To be totally frank, I’m actually not sure why Favero did it. Business-wise it doesn’t really make a ton of sense. They were already the lowest pedal based power meter by a wide margin (save the discount recently on slightly reduced P1 pedals, but those would have run out of inventory sooner or later as production has shifted to the P1.
Sure, Favero might sell more units than before, but my guess is actually not really. My guess would be people would have bought them at the previous price anyway, with the exception of a handful that might have looked at picking up a pair of Vector 3’s and moving them between bikes. In this case they might just pickup two sets of Assiomas for the same price. But in the grand scheme of things, that’s a small number.
Don’t get me wrong – I think it’s awesome the price is lower. But this is one of the extremely rare scenarios where I’m not sure from a (their) business standpoint it was the correct move (beyond this weekend).
That’s what I’m talking about. See Ray’s post above.
Could it be they are releasing a replacement for the actual version of the Assiomas?
Nah, no chance.

Ray, can you check the Mavic Air $499? It’s $689 on Amazon for base.
Weird, looks like it was pulling that price from a deprecated field in the database (I had just loaded in the Mavic Air as a drone into the database this afternoon, and used what I thought was a current template). Fixed!
Thanks! It is what it is !
Hi DCR,
Thanks for helping all of us here. I missed the first 20% off that ended Nov 17th. Called up CL and even talked to the supervisor and she wasn’t willing to give me a 10% off the price on top of the 10% off coupon code listed on CL. She also said that there is no other sale coming along! and now this :) What a relief!!
Btw, I’m torn between the Vantage V and Sunnto 9 Baro for indoor gym based exercises (e.g) 21 Day Fix/P90X etc and also outdoor runs. Which one do you personally prefer? I’m also reading on the brightness and font issues on the Vantage V even with the latest firmware 1.2.3. Is that not an issue on the Sunnto 9? I also read on your S9 review that S9 isn’t sending daily activity stats to the MovesCount app but it sends it to SportsTracker app. With the latest Nov 19th firmware update for S9, is it still an issue?
Appreciate your reply which will help us with our decision.
Thanks.
For indoor gym stuff I find the Vantage V tends to handle better than the Suunto 9. There’s a lot of reasons for that. Namely the weight of the Suunto 9 bobbles around, which hurts optical HR. Secondly, the Polar sensor is just better.
As for 24×7 type stats, I don’t see any shift in that from any notes I’ve seen for the Suunto 9.
Awesome.
Are you saying that VV is not good outdoors in terms of brightness and GPS accuracy but GPS accuracy is better on S9? With S9, I can always pair to a external HR sensor as a workaround. Right?
Please advise.
Both can always pair to a HR strap (BT Smart).
I’m saying that I think the Vantage V and Suunto 9 are getting pretty close to each other in terms of accuracy (logical since they use the same exact Sony chipset, though, accuracy often depends more on antenna design).

I am a happy Polar User. I’ve been using the Loop for a while (about 5 years) and I think it’s time for an upgrade. I was thinking about the Vantage M – is it worth buying now with the 20% discount, in the hopes that they keep improving via updates, or is it worth waiting a few months until they fix the software a bit and hope that it might go on sale towards the summer?
It appears the Garmin 935 (499-50 = 449) & the Fenix 5 basic (599 – 150 = 449) are the same discounted price. For the Average Joe (that has plans to take on another Ironman in the next 12m) what watch would you suggest?
If you want a quick release go with the 935,else the fenix 5 plus. (read his recommendation post)
Wahoofitness.com is offering $80 off on Elemnt and Elemnt bundle and $200 off on 2017 Kickr smart trainer.
Does the VIP deal stack with other coupon codes (you mention stacking with sales, but it’s not clear if coupons are the same as sales)? I’m eyeing a Viiia product and see there’s a coupon code on Clever Training’s site for 20% off Viiia. Thanks!
Typically not, no. The exception if ‘final’ price adjustments. For example the Tacx Neo 1 is considered a price adjustment supported by a manufacturer, so in that case the discount applies as that’s just the new price from here on out. Same goes for the Favero Assioma pedals.
Whereas things that are on sale or being clearanced, can’t be double-dipped.
ENVE is extending it’s trade-in program to include alloy wheels, instead of just carbon, for Nov 23-27th only (the email says 23-27th, the splash page says 22nd-27th). $700 off any set of ENVE wheels in exchange for whatever (*rideable*) alloy wheels you have laying around.

Ray, do you think Garmin will announce fenix 6 anytime soon (2-4 months) or we are year+ away from it? Trying to decide if I should get 5x+ or wait

AS Adventure stores in Belgium and France also give discount up to €100. Everything from €500 gets €100 discount. Everything from €250 gets €40 discount.
This means Polar Vantage V + H10 for 450 instead of 550.
They also deliver internationally as far as I know.
Or just add something for 1-2€ and get the Polar Vantage V without the H10.
100€ discount is a good deal. I see they also ship around Europe. Is this shop reliable in terms of delivery on time and returns ? Thanx.
Ii should have been reliable, since they have physical stores and a good reputation. Yet somehow they suddenly cancelled my order, because of “out-of-stock” today. Which means I can no longer profit any other Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals. Did they deliver yours @Vincent? Now I regret not have order through the deal below with intersporttwinsport.nl.

Hey folks – the 8-hr VIP sale is now live. 20% off most trainer and power meters. And remember especially that stackable deal on the Tacx Neo 1 (taking it down to $959USD). Details all here: link to dcrainmaker.com
Also…high tight for one more last moment trainer deal that should go live any minute now (US). I’ll post once it’s live.
I wanted to buy 2 smart watches (Vantage V and Suunto 9) with each getting 20% off and that didn’t work. Then I was able to buy VV separately and after the order is placed, tried to buy S9 as a separate order and it didn’t work. It is giving me a weird message: “Coupon ‘HOLIDAYVIP’ was not applied. Please ensure you are logged into your VIP account and try again.”
What gives?
Btw, Ray – can you please comment on my question that I posted earlier? link to dcrainmaker.com
The deal is only good for a single item per VIP human. Which, is tied to a single e-mail address.
Missed your earlier question, headed there now. Sorry!

At this point, I am specifically focused on running, though have historically been a racing cyclist. Very much interested in a data rich recording device with the highest accuracy.
Zero interest in notifications, contactless payments and other smart phone cross-over features.
Do not train with music, but….
Have never used mapping, but… (Does the size of the watch face really make for a useful interface for mapping beyond breadcrumb navigation?).
Regardless, based on pricing, I am considering the Fenix 5 or 5 Plus. This selection is primarily driven by current discount, build quality, and possibly for the “what if” features.I
Based on these considerations, would there be a better selection? Also, in hopes for longevity and forthcoming support, would the Plus he the top reccomendation, even if a number of the additions are in my mind superfluous?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For mapping, I think it makes a huge difference on trails you don’t know. I loved it this past summer/spring in the Alps hiking with it. While certainly the map is small, I found that it made the difference between figuring out whether I was going the right way or not when I got to intersections of trails.
Hey folks – biggie on a trainer deal – the 2017 Wahoo KICKR (full edition) – $799USD. It’s not silent like the 2018 version, but is compatible with CLIMB and also ships immediately. Deal here: link to clevertraining.com
Note these won’t last long. Like, probably not an hour long.
Is the 2017 KICKR a better option than the TACX Flux S for $599? Which is quieter? More reliable?
everything is better than the Flux ;-)
I personally think the $200 is worth it. It’s a far more powerful trainer. Like comparing a full size pickup truck to a Dodge Neon.
Ordered through your link along with a Varia. Perfect comparison.
Just picked up the Polar Vantage M (i use Stryd on treatmill ) and pretty happy with the 230 USD!
Thanks Ray!
No deals on Garmin cycling devices, such as 520plus?
Astoundingly not (US anyway). Go figure.
Actually, to clarify there are $50 mail-in rebates on Garmin Edge 520/520Plus/820/1030. But…yeah, nobody really wants to deal with mail-in rebates: link to garmin.blogs.com
But I’ll add them in.
Well… I got an Edge 1030 @ 439 Euro. The bundle would have been 489 Euro. Comes from As Adventure in Belgium, Promo is: get 100 euro rebate on ANYTHING spend above 500 Euro. I actually got it in the brick and mortar shop, but it is also valid online. Not sure if they ship outside of Belgium (I doubt it though) . E.g. link for an Edge 1030 non-bundle: link to asadventure.com
If I used my CT VIP discount a couple of weeks ago, can I still use the one today?
Yup! Round two!
I’m getting an invalid error when I tried the FALLVIP code.
Nevermind, just read that the code is HOLIDAYVIP. Does not work on the Kickr Mat though.
You can get a Kinetic mat. It’s a tad cheaper in price and Kinetic usually has sales, they have a 20% off now. I can’t recall if they charge anything, but I have always used their turntable riser and mats.
For the Favero Assioma Duo, it appears that the best price from CT is $665.10. However, if you order direct from Favero, it appears that the price is slightly lower at $650.00. (Both prices shipped to USA.) Any reason not to buy direct from Favero and save a bit more? Will there be extra customs charges or something that are separate? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I see the same CT price. While the price drop and 10% VIP discount is great, when Ray posted that there was Assioma DUO price drop to $665, I thought that that implied $665 in the cart and THEN -10% for VIPs. I should be happy, as I was planning to buy DUOs soon anyway, but then I got excited about $665 – 10%….
Hi, I know this is not the place for this, but as an exception and as Ray also had an ipad on his list… saw great deals in US, IPAD for 250$, I cannot find anything similar in Europe. Anybody? Ray, any luck in Europe? They stay around 320-350€ as to what I see.
PS: Ray, I’m ordering through your Amazon link ;-).
Yeah, no luck finding one any cheaper. I saw it on a Dutch business flyer for 299EUR, but that requires a business membership and be in-person to pick it up.
Kinda sucks.
I’ve lost track, have we seen the Fenix 5 Plus as low as £499 in the UK?
Fenix 5+: link to blacks.co.uk
Fenix 5S+: link to blacks.co.uk
I don’t believe so, not for the Plus.
Wahoo kickr 2017 vs 18. 17 is on sale at CT for 799.00.
Seems that the 18 is quieter. But other than that are there other major differences?
Thanks
The 18 also has a slightly bigger flywheel that approximately nobody has been able to notice.
I think the Assionas is a typo. The prices I’m seeing are $749. Are you sure it’s $649?
$739*
Because nobody has had time to update the pricing yet. Favero dropped it in a press release last night just before midnight, but only with EU pricing and USD pricing only if bought on their storefront..
Historically speaking Favero has made things a bit funkier when it comes to how they do USD pricing for retailers versus themselves (let alone invoicing/billing). So all these retailers are trying to sort things out at the last second on the busiest day of the year.
As noted elsewhere, there’s no sports tech company in this entire space that does it as complex as Favero when it comes to pricing. Great products, but…messy for retailers.
Ray, could you link to this press release please?
Here ya go. link to dcrainmaker.com
(Note: They had just pasted it into an e-mail, so I pasted it into Word and then exported as PDF).
What about the eu? Favero site sais 695€ and CT has it at 706€. Are these prices updated or was the price drop US only?
Re. the Faverto Assioma pedals at $649 and Ray’s comment:
“IT MAY TAKE A FEW MORE HOURS FOR CLEVER TRAINING TO DISPLAY THIS NEW PRICE, BUT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO SO VERY SHORTLY.”
Why is this not happening?
Like all retailers right now, they’re working to sort this out. While it might seem simple, it’s actually not in this case – mostly due to the rather unique way that Favero does pricing for the retailers themselves.
Appreciate the support – they’re working as fast as possible with all the right people involved to ensure the final price is correct/updated.
Okay, I’ll hold my order then until they manage to get the price fixed up. Thanks!
Me too, I prefer to order from CT and support DCR! Thanks!
Actually, I don’t think the Clever Training price for the Assioma Duo pedals is going to move. The $650 MSRP from Favero is without VAT. The import duty that CT pays on the pedals is likely why they’re listed at $739. I believe if you buy at $650 from cycling.favero.com/shop and have them shipped to the US, you’ll get hit with with the import duty by the courier and end up paying round about 739.
Does anyone know if Clever Training offers any sort of price protection? ie. if I buy now and they lower their price tomorrow, will they refund the difference?
I’ve been back and forth with CT on the phone more times than I can count today while they’re trying to get to the bottom of what the final price should be in conjunction with Favero.
As you noted, there are duties involved in some cases. CT is aiming to get the end consumer price to ~$650USD. Whether or not that’s with or without the discount applied is still being sorted out. Again, most of this is due to the fairly complex way Favero handles international sales behind the scenes. You’ll notice other retailers are trying to sort it out as well.
(Normally, what most manufs do is set a specific price per country. However, Favero doesn’t. Favero sets a base EUR price excluding any import duties, and then leaves it up to retailers globally to ‘sort it out’. The challenge there is Favero also specifics some conditions on how low a price is permitted. It’s like a faux-MAP but without how MAP actually works. Anyways, it’s messy as noted. But I think they’re close to having it all sorted. The exact same thing happened with Favero introduced Assioma actually. Took a few days of back and forth to get things settled.)
Thanks for hanging in there!
Pretty sure that importing anything under $800 is now Duty free so buying directly from Favero is now the cheapest option ($646 vs 665).
link to cbp.gov
Ah. Interesting. Thanks for the relevant link. So CT gets hit with the import duty since they’re importing in bulk, but the individual buyer purchasing right from Favero doesn’t. Oh well, could have saved a few bucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I tried ordering direct from Favero but their website wouldn’t accept my U.S. address and phone number. So it wouldn’t work.
I had success tonight ordering from Favero in the United States. Free shipping, no tax, fair exchange rate.
Awesome. Sounds like as long as your credit card/bank has no foreign transaction fees then ordering direct from Favero is the best option.
Current exchange rate for Visa cards puts them at $650.67 so you’ll save $15 vs CT.

Scosche Europe is also offering 30% discount on BF
Bummer HOLIDAYVIP does not work on the Kickr 2018. I missed the earlier deal, so bummed. Oh well, no upgrade from the 2015 for me this year.
Thanks for the info, been following your articles and videos for years, but just signed up for the newsletter.
Correct, unfortunately all Wahoo products were excluded today from the VIP deal, at Wahoo’s request.
Oh man, sounds like I missed the deal of a century then…
YOu can still get the 2017 Kickr direct from Wahoo for the same $799.
link to wahoofitness.com
Yeah, I know (I get their emails), thank you. I’m not interested in the 2017, though. I have a 2015 (V1 + Powertap C1 Power meter) and the only reason to upgrade, for me, is the noise + climb support. The noise being the largest factor, so I can avoid turning up the TV and waking everyone up with the noise of everything when I workout @ 4AM.
Yep. I’m in the same boat. It’s the noise I’m trying to buy my way out of. Haha
Super deals on Fenix 5. Have not tested the reliability of this shop however so one may want to check the experiences before buying.

(thanks to the good people at HotUKDeals for this one!)
Suunto is offering some pretty big discounts on their website. I just got an email.
The “pick out the item you want to buy” link in the instructions for getting the Clever Training deal seems to be broken for me. Is this just me?
Withings Body+ scale £59.95 (£30 off) at Withings own store link to withings.com
I built an app to sync withings with garmin connect: link to smartscalesync.com
the free approach is to sync withings -> MFP -> garmin but i’ve found this is buggy, and doesn’t sync all the advanced metrics captured by the withings scale (like body fat%, muscle mass, bone mass, and water %).
The POWERTAP P1 POWER METER PEDALS Clever Training deal doesn’t work.
PowerTap is concurrently running a promo of their own right now for also 20% off – so basically, you can’t double-dip on sales. The bright side is that it doesn’t count against the VIP deal.
Hi Ray,
I’m buying my first ever trainer. Should I go ahead and take the 2017 Kickr for $799 on the Wahoo Fitness website? Or, should I take a chance and wait until Monday hoping for a 10% discount on the 2018 Kickr Core? Is the extra price worth it for the Kickr Core since it’s silent? I’ve been planning to buy the Core as my first trainer, but if the 2017 Kickr is going to be a better buy with the discount I’ll take it. Any feedback is appreciated.
I’d wait and buy the Core
Any deals on a Cervelo P2 or similar tri bike?
Excel Sports has a sale on Cervelo going on right now. Looks like the only Tri bike included is the P3 but it’s basically an upgraded P2.
Thanks. Site seems to be down, but I’ll check it later
Hey Ray, I just called CT to ask about the Assioma Duo but they painted a very different picture. They said they are aware of the price change but that Favero didn’t take the import/customs fees in consideration when announcing the new outside-EU prices. Basically, CT told me that if I buy the pedals directly from Favero I will have to pay import fees once they arrive in the US and the price will come down to around $720. Also, I would have to wait a few weeks, as expected. Instead, CT said I can use your VIP 10% and pay only $665.
This is very different than what has been said so far, which is, the prices are temporarily outdated. I just don’t want to pull the trigger now and in a few days the price goes down.
Do you know what’s really going on??
Thanks!!!
Yup, they’re working through it. And I’ve been chatting with them every few minutes.
It sounds like right now the end-state price will be roughly $650-$660USD. Likely with the coupon (no VIP is needed, just a regular DCR coupon). That’s due to a request from Favero to keep the minimum purchasable USD price at approx $650.
Lots of chatter in the comments above. Again, this is really about trying to find a solution that Favero will accept.
Thanks for the very quick reply. I didn’t see the most recent messages you exchanged a few minutes before I posted this one. I didn’t refresh the page. ;) If the price will settle around $650/$660, do you think the 10% discount will still apply??
There shouldn’t be any import fees into the US. As long as the item is less than $800 USD it will be duty free so CT is incorrect there.
It’s actually cheaper to buy directly from Favero seeing as the Duo is $646 on their website vs $665 on CT.
Is $489 gross ($440 net of 10% discount) the “final” price for the Assioma Uno or will we get closer to the $415?

Hey Ray. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but it looks like Bontrager is having a 20% off sale on some of their accessories. The Ion 200 RT and Flare RT that you recently reviewed are included
The Bontrager Garmin Edge 1030 is also on sale US$479 from US$599.99
link to trekbikes.com
It’s like Garmin knew the two things I wanted to purchase and made sure not to discount them, lol…go figure. Anyone finds a good deal on an Edge 1030 and Vector 3, I’m in the market for upgrades this holiday season.
Ed-
The Bontrager version of Garmin’s Edge 1030 is on sale for $479. Take a look on Trek’s website. I believe Ray did a review on it earlier this year; it is basically a black version of the Edge 1030 with some minor software tweaks.
Thanks, Jimmy, appreciate it, that looks like the best deal going right now for the 1030.
I just tried my Clever Training VIP code and it worked, despite being past the 4 pm deadline.
CAMERA NERD COMMENT: The GH5 is a great camera, but for your needs it seems like the dual pixel phase detection autofocus on Canon cameras is the best choice. I know there was a firmware update this year that improved the AF performance of the GH5, but it’s still not as good as Canon. Since you have Blackmagic cameras, you likely already have M4T lenses, making a switch to Canon less appealing. The dual pixel AF is one of the major reasons I switched from Panasonic to Canon back in 2015, and I’ve been very pleased with it.
Yeah, there’s no perfect solution.
Canon still lags heavily behind when it comes to video capabilities. I rented a GH5s actually back in September for about 10 days to test drive it. Really liked it, despite not quite learning it all yet.
For the Black Magic, I bought them, but didn’t use them. Basically I bought them last spring when they announced and got relatively early shipping. Ultimately though they decided to not do ProRes RAW (which they said they were considering), so that took away some of the post-prod benefits I wanted with RAW (sure, they do their own RAW, but nothing that works natively in FCPX for adjusting the aspects I want). But the lack of continual auto focus was sorta the decision point. I knew that from the beginning, but in realizing how well it works on the GH5, it was sorta nice (my Nikon doesn’t have it).
I still have a ton of Canon glass (non M4T unfortunately). And the bright side is that no matter what I choose going forward, it’s going to be M4T. So that helps.
Of course, then I gotta decide on glass too…
Today there’s mode great deals on Garmin watches in Amazon, at least on the italian Amazon, in particular the Fenix 5 goes as low as 329 and the 735 XT goes for 209

Thank you for your reviews and Discount deals, wish CleverTraining can actually deliver on what they discount on.
I haven’t seen any issues there in that department. People for years have seemed pretty happy with CT.
+1. I’ve been extremely happy with CT, their customer service is great as well.
I have had a couple exceptions using them however that was truthfully over a year ago and I popped for a wahoo fan at 20 off last sale and it was on my doorstep in a couple of days. Plus I used their customer service to deliver to my work instead after I realized no one would be home and it was all flawless. So redeemed they are.
Hi Ray,
For existing DCR Analyzer subscribers who subscribed last Black Friday using the discount, will the sub renew with the discounted price?
Thanks!
Toan
Hmm, I don’t believe so, it’ll renew at the regular price.
We had tried to figure something out last minute for sub-renewals at the discount price, but, I thought about it on Thursday night at 11PM, and the dev works was just too much to do in a few hours.
Sorry!
Well, I’m still confused about Assioma DUO pricing – I suspect that many are (including CT). I’m not an *insider* in any way / shape / form. BUT, I bet that the CT price will be about $650 *with* the 10% discount not before VIP discount. So, look, I’m appreciating the price drop, please don’e misunderstand. But Favero’s approach seems whack to me. If this is a price drop and not a sale (as it seems), well, I’ll just wait it out. I’m hoping for new power pedals by late winter (January-ish). If this was a temporary price drop to an effective $650, CT would have my purchase (anticipating that the DUO effective price returns to $799 – 10% after Cyber Monday or whatever). BUT, it seems like a permanent price drop. So, I’ve got a coupe of months and another big holiday season to wait. Maybe Garmin and/or PT decide to drop prices in response. The there’s another Favero discount for mid-December? And if there is not? Well, I keep my cash for another month and buy at today’s price in 6 or 8 weeks. So strange. Now, if this was $650 AND -10% (which is what I thought Ray implied some comments above)…well, yeah, that’s the deal I’d pull the trigger on right now.
I’d pull the 650 -65 trigger also. Because I thingk I’d rather have the Assiomas than the $543 P1’s?
At this point I don’t expect the final price to be lower than $650 (inclusive of discounts). So yeah, the P1 on 20% sale is an amazeball deal right now.
Dang looks like I missed that coupon. Any chance it will be available again on cyber monday?
I’m not aware of any plans for it to hit those prices again. :-/
Any hint on what might be coming for Cyber Monday?
I’m looking for a Garmin heart rate strap to pair with my Garmin 935 so I can get those advanced metrics.
Am I correct in assuming that other brands won’t work for that?
You can also get the same data if you get a Garmin Running Dynamics pod (aka RD-POD) – Ray reviewed it here link to dcrainmaker.com . You can then continue using whatever HRM you like.
However, if you need a HRM as well, then I guess it would probably work out cheaper just getting the Garmin HRM-RUN (or HRM-TRI, which also supports the data but would probably be overkill unless you’re doing triathlons)
I bought a bell z20 mips helmet today for 50% off. It seems like backcountry is selling some color combos from 114 to 125 usd.

Pulled the trigger on the Assioma DUO pedals using DCR’s link. DCR – Thanks for pulling all this together. You’re the best in the business.
The 935 has quality issues.
If you want to regularly swim the barometer-altimeter WILL eventually break. The optical heart rate plastic on the back is known to shatter gradually over time.
It’s an expensive purchase for this to happen after just a year or so of light use.

Hi Ray,
Do you know if those wahoo Kickr/Headwind deals will come to the UK today?
Thanks,
Andre
No, they aren’t slated to (to my knowledge).
Thanks Ray,
Even with paying the shipping, clevertraining.com is still cheaper than the retailers here, £150.00 off is quite considerable.
Thanks for your help + fast reply
Don’t forget that you will need to pay import tax + duties at customs though.
Ray, I found it for £849.99 if you want to share with people
link to acycles.co.uk
just apply their BFRIDAY code.
Hmm, what’s the import duty into the US? Based on sale price or MSRP?
The Kickr Core and Flux 2 are the same £699 (unsurprisingly no discount)
Is it worth paying the extra £100 over the cost of the Elite Dorieto (£599), and if so which one.

Hi Ray,
Check out Target.com — appears they have Vivoactive 3 on sale for 199 PLUS15% off.
So, that’s $170 for a pretty darn good device.
I was hoping to pick up an Edge Explore or Wahoo Element — alas, no bf or cm sales to be found. Any idea why?
Hi Tom-
The ELEMNT is listed above, a pile of sales (though, they were better sales till yesterday). Under the cycling section.
Cheers!
Target also has the Forerunner 645 in cherise on sale for $404, and today it is 15% discount…so $390 or so.
That is the 645 Music, for around $390 at Target.com
Would like to mention that at Target.com select Garmin Fenix 5 is on sale for 399.00 plus 15 % off takes it down to 360 great price to jump on!
Garmin Forerunner 735 = 199€ @ Amazon.es
Garmin Forerunner 735xt @ Amazon.es : 199€
Acycles still have the Brifday code available for 15% off
Just picked up a Elite Direto 2019 for £518.
It’s strange how Amazon works. Ordered a Vivosmart 4 from the USA as it received no love in the UK. Selected the cheapest shipping which is on average 9 days from experience. They’ve sent it express DHL to be delivered Thursday. I’m not complaining but surely it’d have been cheaper to fudge it and ship it from the UK?
Giant size company. It may be the exact same product but if their unique internal identifier is different they don’t consider them the same product
hmm.. Sale pages from the Power Pod links above don’t show the discount.. am I looking in the wrong place?
Hi Ray,
Great sum up of the Black Friday deals, thanks!
Just a minor correction: the Gopro Hero 7 Black bundle includes a 32 GB memory card, not a 64 GB one. It still is as of today, monday November 26th (Cyber Monday)
I know its been awhile since you covered sleep tracking products but Dreem is $75 off:
link to dreem.com
late in the day…but I sent sporttracks an email this morning asking if the cyber monday deal can also be used to extend a current subscription and they replied YES.

DJI Mavic Air is now $150 off on Amazon:

Well, I couldn’t get the Garmin 520 Plus deal to work. But, I did get the DC Analyzer discount! Thanks!
Has the price still not dropped for the Favero Assioma pedals? Still looks like they’re listed at 739 or 749 everywhere. Rather than the 649 in the table.
Looks like Favero has the Duo for $645 directly. Do you know if Clever will drop to match?
Interested in this too!
When was the “couple hour deal” for the vivoactive 3 music? I waited up past midnight on Sunday into Monday, but the price never changed. Haha…oh well. P.S. you site is awesome and one of the top sites I refer to for all gear reviews.
oops…sorry for the huge pic…thought I was uploading a pic for my profile…haha.
It was from roughly dinner time on Monday night that it popped up. I tweeted it out at the time, so definitely follow on Twitter for all these random deals that pop-up out of nowhere.
I was hoping to score an elemnt bolt for lower than 210$, but obviously I had no such luck.
Can I expect a rebate under Christmas, or this is it until next summer?
Nah, I wouldn’t expect any more deals from Wahoo anytime soon, especially on the BOLT.
Sometimes we see sensor deals from Wahoo on Amazon here and there.
Just a heads up. Spoke with Clever Training today and they informed me they WILL NOT be lowering the price of the Assioma to the msrp of $644usd. Seems unreasonable since the drop in msrp must have come with a drop in their cost as well???
maybe…maybe not. Certainly not if they already have product in inventory in which case they paid a higher cost so this price drop only takes away their margin. Money is so cheap most carrying costs have gone away so having to sit on their inventory makes more sense than giving away profit.
Ignore my previous comment!!
Hi Ray,
There is a great deal on Amazon UK for the Garmin Index Smart Scale, but the comments/ reviews are not appealing. Do you recommend this Garmin scale or shall I go for Aria 2 or RENPHO. I’m already heavily invested in the Garmin world and I’m looking for a smart scale at the moment, but I don’t want to buy something is not working.
Which smart scale are you recommending?
Thanks in advance.
There has been a firmware update last week. The connection problems should be solved now (after 2 years)
Hi Ray,
Just a heads up for anyone interested — the 520 plus (for $ 229) deal is still on Amazon and with $50 rebate, that’s $180!
However, 2 things I just noticed:
1. rebate ends this month and must be submitted by end of December.
2. Amazon is not shipping the units until end of December or early January
So, it may not be possible to get rebate — I assume you need the unit first
But, it looks like they want an additional $11 in sales tax…
Do you have a link? Showing $279 on US Amazon.
Found it under “Other sellers” (link – link to amazon.com). You will have sales tax ($18 for me), but an Edge Plus for ~$200 OTD is a great deal.
Shipping date? I don’t think you can get rebate if you receive it after Dec 31st…
Looks Like DCR was right! Clever Training dropped their prices. Assioma Duo is 649.99USD and Uno is 414.99USD. The DCR discount code can no longer be added.
Ray,
Quick, 10 year old daughter on a swim team, and runner. Which wearable for tiny wrist? Thanks, you rock!
Normally for younger runners I’d recommend either the smaller Polar M200 or Garmin FR25/30/35 type series. However, if she wants swimming stats, that does increase price a little bit. In which case you could look at something like the Vivoactive series. The Vivoactive 3 is a bit pricey for a 10-yo old though, and the Vivoactive HR is a bit clunky.
If she just wants it for GPS running and not caring about swim stats, then I’d go with the two variants mentioned first (fear not, it’s still totally waterproof).
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!!
Is there a reason to prefer CleverTraining over WahooFitness.com (or the other way around)?
CT supports the site here, and in the case of non-sale products gets you 10% back in points. For sale products there’s no price difference to Wahoo’s site, but only CT supports the site here.
Cheers!
Done on CT using the link on this page. Thank you for your work!
Thanks for the support!
For those interested….and this is short notice. eBay is having a sale you can get 15% off any sports/fitness purchase. That includes Garmin watches. CT has a Ebay site. And the coupon works.
But’s it’s only a for a few more hours- Dec. 14 until 11:59 pm (PT) for the US site.
it brings a Fenix 5S plus down to $510, for example.e
As someone who currently just takes his phone on him + bluetooth HRM, for bike rides, runs, skating and summer outdoor swims(phone in a float buoy).
I’m looking at several options of last gen top-end devices, namely the Garmin 920xt (+tri combo), Polar v800(+h10) and Suunto ambit3 peak.
with these there are several options of used/new/refurb for very good prices.
I would like something that handles indoor pool swimming and outdoor gps swimming, for running, for biking and other sports if i happen to do them.
For swimming i would love to have some feedback on my speed and cadence while swimming/end of lane.
For runs maybe more run stats like Garmin provides with the Tri bands.
But its hard to find a good comparison of these three for their “swim performance”, and overall, especially now after the firmware have been completely changed since they first came out and were reviewed.
Any thoughts on this?
