Garmin Slashes Fenix 8, Forerunner Watch Prices In Major Sale
Garmin has dropped prices across several of its key watch lines as part of its Father's Day sale.
Among the discounts are some of the watches I tend to recommend the most often, including the brilliant Forerunner 165 for $199.99, or $249.99 for the Music Edition with on-board storage for downloaded tunes.
Deals are not limited to the lower-end lines either. The Garmin Fenix 8 is on sale at $200 off across the board, meaning the Fenix E now costs $599.99, while the highly recommended 47mm edition of the AMOLED Fenix 8 costs $899.99.
The Garmin Instinct 3 is also worth a look, selling at $50 off. This means the range now starts at $249.99 for the non-OLED Instinct E, while the 45mm AMOLED version is $399.99.
None of these three quite fit the bill? You'll also find discounts on the smartwatch—like Garmin Venu 3 family, the super-long-lasting Garmin Enduro 3, the Forerunner 265. And 2023's best all-round running watch from Garmin, the Forerunner 965.
There are also discounts on the golf-specific Approach S70 and S12 watch lines.
Those in the UK should also check out Garmin's discounts for Global Running Day, although most of these are roundly comparable with what we see for Father's Day in the US, with a few little additions.
For example, the basic Garmin Forerunner 55 is on sale for £119 in the UK, where those in the US still have to pay $199.99.
One factor to bear in mind here is older-generation Garmin watches frequently go on sale during other sales periods, such as Black Friday and Amazon's various Prime sales events.
However, plenty of the watches in this sale remain the newest of their particular type, notably the Fenix 8, Instinct 3, Enduro 3 and — a personal favourite of mine as a sound buy — the Forerunner 165. And some, like the Instinct 3, are only a few months old.

Minnesota fast food worker Rodolfo Depaz who walked over four miles a day between shifts at Dairy Queen, Chipotle gifted car
Fast food cruising. A Minnesota fast food employee who walked four miles each day to his jobs at Dairy Queen and Chipotle and never took a day off was gifted a car from his 'angels.' Rodolfo Depaz, a cashier in the Roseville, Minn. community, is cruising in style in his own 2000 Buick Century after commuting to both of his jobs on foot for over three years, according to KARE. Advertisement 'They're angels for me,' Depaz said. 9 Rodolfo Depaz works behind the counter at Dairy Queen, making the four and a half mile commute between home and his other job at a Chipotle. KARE 11/YouTube Depaz, an father-of-two from El Salvador and in the US on a work visa, spends little of his earnings on himself, choosing to pay off his rent and send the rest back home to his family. Advertisement He 'works 80 hour weeks and sends money home and pays bills here and back home in El Salvador, leaving him with nearly nothing after every paycheck,' Depaz's former coworker Emily Hinderscheid wrote on a GoFundMe organized for her former coworker. 9 Depaz worked over 80 hours a week between his two jobs at Dairy Queen and Chipotle while picking up weekend shifts. KARE 11/YouTube 9 The Dairy Queen in Roseville, Minn. where Depaz has worked for the last three and a half years. KARE 11/YouTube Because he doesn't save his extra earnings, Depaz doesn't have enough to buy a car and has to walk to work each day. Advertisement On a typical morning, Depaz would wake up before 5:30 a.m. and make the long trek from his home to the Chipotle he worked at for his morning shift, according to the outlet. He would then clock out at 2:30 p.m. and journey across town to the Dairy Queen for the afternoon shift. 9 Depaz was invited to the Hinderscheids house for dinner after befriending Emily Hinderscheid. KARE 11/YouTube 9 Depaz rides around on the mountain bike gifted to him by Mike Hinderscheid. KARE 11/YouTube Advertisement 9 Depaz with his daughter back in El Salvador. GoFundMe Depaz totaled approximately four and a half miles between his two jobs and home, according to KARE. 'Always walking,' he said. Hinderscheid believes Depaz works more than 80 hours a week because he picks up weekend shifts. Depaz befriended Hinderscheid and her family, who invited him over for dinner and gifted him with a bike to commute to work. 9 Rodolfo Depaz stands with his 2000 Buick Century, he received as a gift from a friend he met a Bible study. KARE 11/YouTube 9 Depaz presented Mike Hinderscheid with a Dairy Queen ice cream cake decorated with 'Dad' for Father's Day. KARE 11/YouTube 9 Depaz sends a majority of his income back to El Salvador for his family, including his son and daughter. KARE 11/YouTube Advertisement Depaz's friendship with the Hinderscheids expanded when he was invited to family outings and holidays, eventually being welcomed to Mike's bible study group, where one member gifted him the life-changing present. 'Just said, thank you God for listening to me,' Depaz said. The Dairy Queen franchisee owner called their employee a hard worker and has set Depaz up with an attorney to help start the legal process of getting his family to the US. 'He is a very, very, hard worker,' Todd Nelson, the franchisee director of operations, said, unable to remember a time Depaz called out sick. 'It's snowing out, people driving cars are calling in late to work, and there's Rodolfo, here on time.'

Billionaire Bill Ackman just bought this world-class growth stock for his FTSE 100 fund
Billionaire Bill Ackman, who manages FTSE 100 investment trust Pershing Square Holdings, is one of the biggest names in the investment world. So I always keep an eye on his trades. Last week, Ackman's firm, Pershing Square Capital, filed its Form 13F with US regulators, providing insight into the shares the investment guru bought and sold in the second quarter of 2025. And it turns out that he's just bought one of my favourite growth stocks. One of my largest holdings The stock I'm referring to is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The e-commerce and cloud computing powerhouse is one of the largest positions in my portfolio today. For Ackman, it's now quite a sizeable position too. According to his 13F filing, he owned around $1.3bn worth of Amazon stock at the end of the second quarter (5,823,316 shares). That represented roughly 8.88% of his US stock holdings. So he's clearly bullish on the technology company. It's worth pointing out that Ackman may have paid a much lower price than the current $230. Because this stock took a big hit in the tariff meltdown in April. At one stage, it was trading below $170. I believe that's when Ackman began acquiring the stock. Still, I'm encouraged by his buying activity here because Ackman – who does his research and generally holds on to stocks for the long term – has a great track record. Worth a look today? Is Amazon stock worth considering at $230 today? I think so. There is some uncertainty on the e-commerce side of the business in the short term due to tariffs. These could result in higher prices and lower levels of consumer spending. However, taking a long-term view, this company just has so much potential, in my view. Today, Amazon's the largest player globally in the cloud computing market. And this industry is forecast to grow by around 15-20% a year between now and 2030. Linked to cloud computing is artificial intelligence (AI) – another huge growth industry. In the years ahead, Amazon's hoping to become a one-stop shop for AI solutions in the same way it has become a one-stop shop for online shopping. It's also a major player in digital advertising. This is a lucrative industry and Amazon's now the third largest player behind Google and Meta. Add in other growth avenues such as space broadband (Project Kuiper), self-driving cars (Zoox), robotics, and digital healthcare and the future looks very bright. I'd be very surprised if its market-cap isn't significantly bigger in five years' time. Of course, I'm not expecting the share price to rise in a straight line. It will be volatile at times, and there may be better buying opportunities in the months ahead. But at current levels, I still like it. The stock's in an uptrend and the valuation remains near historical lows.

Bernstein breaks down the battle for e-grocery delivery
-- Bernstein says the race for dominance in U.S. same-day grocery delivery is intensifying, with Amazon's expanded perishable offering adding pressure to an already competitive market. In a recent report the brokerage said Walmart's scale and store footprint give it a structural advantage, allowing it to reach 93% of the U.S. population within three hours. While Walmart's same-day operation is costlier than third-party (3P) platforms because it uses its own staff for in-store fulfillment, Bernstein estimated that only about 20% of that labor cost is incremental, putting its effective fulfillment and delivery cost at $13–$19 per $75 order, still high, but closer to 3P operators such as Instacart, DoorDash and Uber Eats. The brokerage noted that Walmart is likely to use same-day delivery as a loss leader to drive Walmart+ memberships and boost its retail media business, which it projects could become a $10 billion U.S. operation by 2030. Amazon, meanwhile, is cutting its free delivery threshold for Prime members to $25, adding perishables but keeping the service separate from Whole Foods and Fresh, which Bernstein said could create some consumer confusion. Instacart, DoorDash and Uber are leaning on their 3P models to offer broad retailer selection, fast delivery, with Instacart reporting that 80% of its orders are on-demand, and growing subscription benefits. Bernstein estimated Instacart's base shopper earnings at about $9 per order before tips, making it more cost-efficient than Walmart on a pure labor basis. However, 3P platforms face challenges such as product mark-ups and imperfect inventory visibility. Bernstein rates Walmart, Amazon, Instacart, DoorDash and Uber all 'outperform,' citing room for online grocery penetration to grow and opportunities for retail media to support profitability across both integrated and 3P delivery models.
