Rakuten is simply an e-commerce site that allows retailers to list and sell through them.

Another option is the Garmin 920XT which is $199 from Clever Training with a final price of $159 – awesome!

Which Garmin Watch To Get?
If you are just starting out with Garmin and you want to give it a try, I would recommend the Garmin Forerunner 235 or the Garmin Vivoactive 3. Both are at the $249 price point and really solid watches. They both have heart rate sensors built-in to the back to monitor your heart rate 24/7 (and the battery life will allow it to go for days, not like the Apple Watch).
If you have a watch for day and just want something for running, the Garmin Forerunner 920XT is also an excellent watch and a great deal at the $199 price point. I used to own it and absolutely loved it’s performance.
If you want the best, go for one of the Garmin Fenix 5 models. If you like to run without your phone and want to map it as you go, the Garmin Fenix 5X has built-in maps.
At the end of the day, any of these will give you good GPS performance for your runs and activities and some great battery life as well. I have been a Garmin fan and user for 11 years now. I have tried watches like Suunto, Polar, the old Motorola watch, and even the Apple Watch and just cannot take the Garmin watches off.
Want something different?
But, if you do want a different watch, the best deal on the brand new FitBit Ionic is on eBay – this $299 watch that just came out can be had for only $240! You can do it for $299 from retailers that bundle a $50 gift card with it, but the eBay route is definitely the cheapest.
