Fitness trackers are a great companion to any kind of workout, but particularly for running. They can help you keep track of everything from your pace and distance to your heart rate, helping you improve over time. Garmin is one of the most popular brands in this market, with watches suitable for all skill levels and budgets. And as of Aug. 18, one of the most popular models is on sale: the Garmin Forerunner 265.

The Forerunner range is designed, as the name might suggest, for runners. It's packed with endless features to help you track, recover, and run better. And it's currently $100 off, bringing the price down to $349.99. It comes in several color options: black and powder gray, aqua and black, and whitestone and tidal blue.

For tracking your activity, this watch has over 30 built-in activity profiles. It covers running, triathlons, cycling, open-water swimming, and more, so it's not just for runners. Training features also include a morning report covering sleep, recovery, and training outlook, as well as a training readiness score based on your sleep, recovery, training load, and HRV status. And if you're training for a race, you can even enter the race and course in the Garmin Connect app to get personalized plans and workouts.

All of these features come packaged in a nifty 46mm design, with a bright AMOLED touchscreen and traditional button controls.

You can find this Garmin deal at Amazon right now.
