2. Wahoo Elemnt Rival GPS Watch: was $329.99, now $199.77 at Mike's Bikes

The Wahoo Elemnt Rival smartwatch impressed us when we reviewed it thanks to its intuitive design and accurate heart rate monitoring. Now, at 39% off, it's certainly worth a look for those wanting more data on their wrist!

3. Tacx Neo 2T smart trainer: was $1,399.99, now $899.99 at Amazon

When we reviewed the Tacx Neo 2T last year we concluded, "This is the most enjoyable trainer to use." We certainly still stand by that, especially as the only major quibble at the time was the price. However with this hefty discount that fades to very little to complain about.

This $500 saving is one of the best prices we've seen, especially given this is Tacx's range-topping smart trainer, which makes the 36% discount all the more compelling.

4. Oakley Sutro Lite sunglasses: was $194.00, now $139.95 at Amazon

Worn by cycling superstar Remco Evenepoel, the Oakley Sutro Lites are a typically modern pair of glasses - the large, wide lens delivers great vision and protection on the bike but still looks good in more casual setting. You can read our review of the Oakley Sutro for more details but this deal, which puts them under $100, is certainly worthy of top 10 spot.

5. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was $279.00, now $199.00 at Walmart

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II provide top-tier sound quality and noise canceling, perfect for gym sessions and indoor riding. On top of that though, the earbuds feature 'aware' mode which still allows you to hear traffic when you are out riding. For those who love good sound quality, this 29% off deal is well worth a look.

6. Garmin Epix 2: was $799.99, now from $449.00 at Walmart

The Epix stands out with its tougher and more rugged case combined with all the TOPO maps, health tracking and Garmin Pay features of all Garmin's top smartwatches. This is the lowest price in the past 670 days, undercutting all other sites we've seen, from REI to BestBuy.

7. Garmin Enduro: was $799.99, now $479.80 at Amazon

Not quite at its lowest price ever but 47% off retail is still a significant discount for the rugged and durable Enduro. Like all high-end Garmin watches it's loaded with features to aid  training and navigation - and it also boasts an impressive 80-hour battery life. This is a deal you probably want to act on now.

8. Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95, now $89.99 at Amazon

If bone conduction isn't for you and noise cancelling is a higher priority – I think the Beats' Studio Buds are a great option for hard workouts. Lightweight and unobtrusive, they're super comfortable – and with an IPX4 rating, they're sweat resistant too. Currently with 40% off retail.

9. Sportful Supergiara Thermal jersey: was $159.99, now from $89.98 at Backcountry

I'm a big fan of Sportful kit and this long sleeve gravel jersey is no exception. It's made using a double-layer thermal fabric, with the outer layer there to combat the wind. It makes it pretty versatile, working as a stand alone jersey in milder winter weather or as a great mid layer for when it get's seriously cold. Now only available in the berry blue and black colorways. 

10. Castelli Perfetto RoS 2: was $279.99, now from from $195.00 at Chain Reaction

The Perfetto RoS jacket has a loyal fan base - including here at Cycling Weekly - and with good reason. The Gore-Tex Infinium fabric protects against the wind, rain and cold but the Perfetto still fits and feels much like a regular race-fit jersey. Castelli quality comes at a price but this deal allows you to improve your winter cycling wardrobe without breaking the bank. Now with as much as 53% off!

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: was $349.99, now $199.99 at Amazon

Arguably the Edge 530 of Garmin's GPS watch range, it provides the heart rate and GPS tracking you need for an effective workout across a huge range of sports – as well as storing music and other smartwatch functions. The performance versus price ratio is particularly good with this model. 

Garmin Vivoactive 4S: was $329.99, now $179.99 at Amazon

I think this is the best GPS crossover watch for anyone wanting a more subtle ride/gym fitness tracker. Monitor the usual movement data, along with energy levels, menstrual cycle, sleep, hydration and more. Download your own music playlist (subscription required) ,and either track or follow a workout on the screen. Safety and incident detection onboard with real time location sent to emergency contacts.

Fitbit Sense Advanced Smartwatch: was $249.95, now $212.99 at Best Buy

This Fitbit Sense has the ability to track all the usual fitness metrics, but also the capabilities to deep dive in to health data such as stress responses, monitor heart rhythm, and help you stay alert if you fall out of set parameters. With on board GPS, Bluetooth for hands-free calls and built in Google Assist or Amazon Alexa, this could be the idea cross over fitness/life organizing watch.

Fitbit Versa 2 Health and Fitness Smartwatch: was $149.95, now $99.99 at Amazon

The onboard GPS makes this more advanced than a regular fitness tracker, with real-time pace and distance visible. Keep on top of your health goals with the heart rate monitor and the ability to receive a daily readiness score, to make sure you're fully rested. Google Assist or Amazon Alexa built in and 6 months Fitbit Premium trial to boot.

Garmin Instinct: was $249.99, now $164.20 at Amazon

The Garmin Instinct is the brand's most rugged GNSS watch, designed and constructed to US Military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance (up to 100 meters) - which I think makes this a great all rounder for anyone who's pretty tough on their equipment. Multi-satellite receiving should give you better pin point accuracy on tracking, ideal for dense forest or urban canyons. Tracks all the usual fitness data and comes with an extra long battery life of up to 14 days between charges. Another price drop means its price is now reduced by 34%.

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: now $599.99, now $344 at Amazon

We really rated the Garmin Edge 1030 when we reviewed it, finding it's features and functions very user friendly. It's one of the largest Garmin bike computers, but this does make maps and other data metrics, such as power, easy to read. It gains all of Garmin's nifty virtual coaching features, and is more off road friendly thanks to a specific mode setting. This discount is a fair one, but be aware that the brand has also just bought out it's latest flagship model the Garmin Edge 1040. This means the 1030 is no longer the range topper, so discounted units are more likely in a few shops, so check the quick links above before you buy.

Stages Cycling Dash L200: was $330.00, now $246.93 at REI 

I haven't played with this version, but thought the Stages Dash M200 was a great option for data. It features an impressive screen, but lacked decent maps, so the Dash L200 seems like the ideal upgrade, especially since there's now a 25% saving on the RRP . 

Garmin Varia cycling Rearview: was $149.99, now $119.99 at Amazon

The Rearview system from Garmin pairs with either a Garmin bike computer or your smartphone to alert you audibly, and visually and physically with vibration with a compatible Garmin head unit, to traffic approaching you from behind up to 153 yards (140 meters) away.

Garmin Edge 830: was $399.99, now $269.99 at Amazon

This is the previous iteration of the enduringly popular Edge 800 series, with the touchscreen being the standout feature next to the more affordable Edge 530. Our testers were impressed, rating it 4.5 stars. Another recent price drop means it's now 33% off retail.
