I used the Garmin Epix Pro for a year and it just hit its lowest ever price on Amazon
That's made abundantly clear by this incredible discount on the 51mm model of the Garmin Epix Pro, which is reduced to $689 at Amazon right now, a $410 saving that brings the watch down to the lowest price I've ever seen it.
LOWEST PRICE! This deal reduces the 51mm Epix Pro to its lowest ever price, and for $689 you're getting an incredible AMOLED sports watch that has best-in-class navigation tools on top of the tracking and training analysis it offers. As this is the largest watch in the Epix Pro range, you also get excellent battery life, and the titanium case and sapphire crystal screen mean that it's light and durable too.
The Garmin Epix Pro is the predecessor to the Garmin Fenix 8, which is undoubtedly a fantastic sports watch but costs over $1000.
As someone who has used both watches extensively, running marathons with both and using the Epix Pro for a year, I'd say the older model definitely offers better value right now.
That's especially true because this deal is on the titanium model of the Epix Pro, which is lighter and more durable than the standard steel watch, and it has a scratch-resistant sapphire screen, so you can be sure it will last you many years of heavy use.
My Epix Pro barely has a mark on it after a year of everyday use, and I preferred using the larger 51mm model of the watch because of its bigger screen and impressive battery life — even with the always-on AMOLED screen enabled it lasted me 10 days on a charge when running 70-80 miles a week.
Newer Garmin models like the Garmin Fenix 8 and Garmin Forerunner 970 have some upgrades like the addition of a mic and speaker and some new training analysis, but the core experience of using the Epix Pro is similar, and it's just as accurate a sports tracker.
It also has Garmin's latest heart rate sensor on board, which is one of the most accurate optical sensors I've tested on a sports watch, and a built-in flashlight, which I've found incredibly handy throughout testing.
If you'd prefer a smaller watch the Garmin Epix Pro 47mm is reduced to $699 in the Amazon sale. It has a slightly smaller display and shorter battery life than the 51mm watch, and is $10 more expensive, but that's still a great price if you feel the 51mm is too large for your wrist.

The best iPad deals you can get in August
If you know where to look, it's surprisingly easy to save on an iPad — even outside of major sales events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. Here's an insider tip: skip the Apple Store, where discounts are almost nonexistent. Instead, your best bet is to check third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, which frequently offer deals on everything from the entry-level iPad to the powerhouse iPad Pro, making it possible to snag a bargain any time of the year. Apple's tablet lineup now includes six different iPads, which makes tracking deals across each configuration a full-time job. Fortunately, that's exactly what we're here for. Below, you'll find the best discounts on every current model. Want something for basic web browsing? The entry-level iPad is currently down to $299 ($50 off). Looking for more power to play games and edit videos? The iPad Pro with M4 chip is going for $899 ($100 off). No matter which one you choose, rest assured that every model below is set to receive iPadOS 26 in the fall, which is the most significant update the iPad has seen in 15 years. The 11th-generation iPad remains the most affordable tablet in Apple's lineup. While the newest model isn't drastically different from its 10th-gen predecessor, it does offer a few key differences. One notable change is the increase to 128GB of base storage, up from 64GB. Additionally, the new model features Apple's A16 Bionic chip, providing better overall performance when browsing the web, opening apps, and watching videos. That being said, the base iPad still doesn't support Apple Intelligence despite the faster chip, meaning you can't take advantage of features like the ability to generate images and text. It will, however, support iPadOS 26's windowed multitasking feature when the update arrives later this year. Currently, the 11th-gen iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. Upgrading to 256GB or 512GB of storage will run you an extra $100 or $200, respectively, while the LTE model starts at $499. The base model recently dropped to $279 ($70 off) during Amazon's most recent Prime Day event, proving that, if you're patient, it's possible to save a good chunk on the MSRP. That said, there are great deals to be had throughout the year. For example, the aforementioned base configuration is currently down to $299 ($50 off) — its second-best price to date — at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Alternatively, the 256GB model is $399 ($50 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, while the 512GB variant is available for around $598 ($51 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. While the seventh-gen iPad Mini looks nearly identical to its predecessor, it offers a few notable upgrades, including compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. The Pencil Pro brings features like squeeze controls for quick tool switching and a so-called 'barrel roll' function, which lets you change the orientation of your stroke by rotating the stylus. The Mini also includes a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence, and the base storage has increased to 128GB, up from 64GB. Otherwise, it retains many of the hallmarks found on its last-gen predecessor, including an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a Touch ID sensor, and an estimated 10 hours of battery life when browsing on Wi-Fi. The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage — the same price as the previous generation's 64GB model. If you need more room for all your photos and apps, the 256GB and 512GB versions will set you back $599 and $799, respectively. Want to add cellular? That starts at $649. These are hefty price tags for such a small device, which might have you eyeing the larger iPad Air if you're after more screen for your buck. But if you're loyal to the compact form factor for tasks like reading, the iPad Mini is still the one to beat. The iPad Mini dropped to just $379, an all-time low, during Prime Day; however, the current discounts aren't nearly as dramatic, with the 128GB base model going for $474 ($25 off) at Amazon. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting around $569 ($30 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo for $779 ($20 off). The seventh-gen iPad Air sits between the entry-level iPad and the more powerful iPad Pro. It's available in 11-inch and 13-inch configurations, both of which are powered by Apple's speedy M3 chip and compatible with the latest Apple Intelligence features. The Air also works with the updated Magic Keyboard, which now includes a full row of function keys for controlling volume and screen brightness. There's not a ton that's new with the latest Air compared to the prior model, but the bump in power should allow it to last longer. The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $599, and the 13-inch version comes in at $799. While the starting prices are high, the tablet regularly goes on sale, with the 11-inch Air dipping to as low as $479 during events like Prime Day. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is on sale at Amazon and Walmart starting at $547.27 (about $52 off). The 256GB version is on sale for $629 ($70 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $811.47 (about $88 off) at B&H Photo. If you're after the larger configuration, the 13-inch model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and Walmart for around $725 ($75 off). Meanwhile, Amazon and Walmart are offering the configuration with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage for $815.73 (about $84 off), while the 512GB variant with Wi-Fi is down to $1,000.88 (about $100 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The seventh-gen iPad Pro is the most impressive tablet in Apple's lineup, one that features the company's latest M4 chip and a crisp, 'Tandem OLED' display. It has dedicated hardware for Apple Intelligence processing, a four-speaker setup for richer sound, and a repositioned front-facing camera along the horizontal edge, so you can keep the device in landscape during video calls. The more advanced tech, however, comes at a high price. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 — the same price as the latest 13-inch MacBook Air — while the larger 13-inch model starts at $1,200. The good news is that the iPad Pro regularly goes on sale. The 11-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage is currently down to $899 ($100 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $1,089.90 (about $109 off) at Amazon. Stepping up to the 1TB model — which will provide you with even more room for apps, photos, and videos — will run you $1,459 ($140 off) at Amazon and Walmart. If you want more screen real estate, the 13-inch model with 256GB is around $1,179 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Meanwhile, the 512GB model is down to $1,359.86 (about $140 off) at Amazon and Walmart, while the 1TB model is available at Amazon and Walmart for $1,631 ($268 off). You can also grab the 2TB model for $2,084 ($215 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.

TP-Link's new travel router delivers Wi-Fi 7 speeds
Connecting to free airport or hotel Wi-Fi can often be a time-consuming and frustrating task that doesn't seem worth the effort for a bag full of wireless devices. TP-Link has announced its first Wi-Fi 7 travel router, providing up to a total of 3.6 Gbps of bandwidth while also making it easier to get multiple devices online from anywhere. The TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 BE3600 Travel Router (TL-WR3602BE) is available now for $139.99 but Amazon has it for $109.99 with a $30 discount that's available until the end of August. We all travel with multiple devices needing Wi-Fi connectivity, and when you add kids and family into the mix, connecting them all to hotel or airport Wi-Fi can be an arduous job. Having all those devices pre-connected to a single travel router streamlines the process since you're then only connecting one device to public Wi-Fi. You can use TP-Link's mobile Tether app or the router's web interface to navigate those annoying captive portals and login pages just once. Other reasons to use a travel router include an extra layer of privacy. The TL-WR3602BE includes support for the OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols, so you can connect to over 35 different VPN providers, including NordVPN and Surfshark, while using a public Wi-Fi network you don't entirely trust. And while your smartphone can serve as a hotspot for a handful of devices, TP-Link's new travel router can connect to up to 90 at once. There's no built-in battery, but the travel router needs just 5V and can be powered using an included AC adapter, an external power bank, or even a USB-C connection to a laptop. It includes a pair of external antennas you can raise to extend its range, a USB-A 3.0 port for sharing files from connected drives, a 2.5 Gbps WAN and 1 Gbps LAN port, and a customizable button that can be configured to turn the VPN on and off, or quickly activate other functions.
