Right now, you can pick up the Garmin Venu 2 Plus for just £276 at Amazon. That's a saving of 31% off the list price and the cheapest this incredibly versatile GPS watch has ever been – even beating last year's Black Friday deal price.
The Venu 2 sits somewhere between a smartwatch and a sports watch, and manages to offer the best of both worlds. It's more discreet than a chunky Garmin Forerunner, but still has excellent GPS tracking, with a suite of advanced fitness tracking and recovery tools. It even has a built-in microphone so you can take calls from your wrist via Bluetooth, and use your phone's voice assistant. When I reviewed it for Advnture's sister site TechRadar, I gave it four and a half stars out of five, and called the mic "a great addition to what was already an excellent smartwatch".

I found the microphone on the Venu 2 Plus to be a real game-changer. "Whether we wanted to make a quick translation to another language, control a smart home device, calculate a tip for a bill, or control a music app, the ability to simply press a button on the watch we were already wearing meant we ended up using our phone’s voice assistant much more than would have done previously," I said in my review. "It might seem like a small feature, but it’s a genuinely useful one that makes this excellent smartwatch even easier to recommend."
