SAVE $53.04: As of Feb. 24, the Garmin vívoactive 6 smartwatch is on sale for $246.95 at Amazon. That's 18% off its list price and the lowest price we've seen since its launch.

If you're in the market for a new smartwatch, I cannot recommend switching to a Garmin enough. The brand's smartwatch lineup offers something for everyone, but for the most well-rounded, entry-level model, I'd go with the vívoactive 6. Not only does it feature a brilliant display, impressive battery life, and bountiful health insights, but it's also down to its best price to date.

As of Feb. 24, the Garmin vívoactive 6 smartwatch is on sale for just $246.95 at Amazon in the slate black colorway. That's an 18% or $53.04 discount from its list price and the lowest price we've seen so far on the watch — even beating Black Friday.

Let's talk battery life. If you're an Apple Watch user, then you'll particularly be blown away by the vívoactive 6's ability to last up to 11 days on a single charge in smartwatch mode. If you track a ton of activities, that battery life obviously drops, but if you're simply building routines and monitoring your steps, body battery, sleep, and more, you'll get a ton of longevity out of it.

It's packed with over 80 indoor and activities, including daily suggested workouts, animated workouts, stretching, walking, running, swimming, activities for wheelchair users, and more. The broad range of options, paired with the depth of health and wellness insights, make it a great pick for someone who does (or wants to try) a lot of different things. You'll even get a glimpse into your energy levels each day, so you can plan workouts and rest times accordingly. Of course, like any good smartwatch, you'll also be able to receive emails, texts, and alerts when you pair the vívoactive 6 with your iPhone or Android smartphone.

At full price, the Garmin vívoactive 6 smartwatch is a decent value; with a $53 price drop, it's even better.
