Garmin is apparently preparing to reveal its highly anticipated upgraded smartwatches in a few weeks time. However, these robust wearables will most likely launch at rather unaffordable list prices, which means that budget-conscious smartwatch buyers should now set their sights on outgoing models such as the Garmin Fenix 7 or Epix 2.

Case in point, the silver Garmin Fenix 7 base model with thegraphite band has now dropped to one of its lowest prices thus far and can be ordered for $499 including free shipping at Cabelas. This offer comes within $50 of Amazons all-time low according to Camel's price history. In comparison to the official MSRP, this deal for the Garmin Fenix 7 provides savings of 23% or $250.

Alternatively, athletes and outdoor fans who are looking for a smartwatch with a more colorful AMOLED display can now grab the Garmin Epix 2 for just $449 at Cabelas. Since the 47mm wearable was originally priced at $799, shoppers can save a whopping 44% or $350 by taking advantage of this intriguing sale. Both the Garmin Epix Gen 2 and the Fenix 7 have a plethora of fitness features for tracking workouts and listening to music while doing so.

Navigation via offline maps is another function that can come in very useful during off-the-grid adventures. Although the upcoming successors will probably sport some noteworthy technical upgrades, buyers who would like to spend less than $500 are getting a better bang for their buck in this smartwatch deal for the Garmin Fenix 7 and Epix 2.
