Iirc...

Camo is the same as standard bar colour.

Surf has timetables and so on added.

Tactical has skydiving features, is geared up for use with night vision and you can turn off the transmitters so you don't reval your secret HQ on Strava.

Blimey. It's science fiction to me.

Well, I ride a bike and occaisionaly go for a stroll in the hills, but if I don't plan on standing on a board in a lumpy sea or leaping out of an aircraft the standard would be a better option for my needs?

Not exactly sure what I need all this wizardry for, but I've ordered a sunburst.

Thanks @5lab

@bonzodog yeah, been struggling with it myself but from what you say, I think the standard will fit your needs. It's unlikely you would need the added features of the others.

Fenix 7 and it’s derivatives are about to drop. Suspect much expensive stock needs shifting.

Not sure thats the reason, as there isn't any huge discounts on the fenix 6 range. Probably just discontinuing the instinct completely as its been out since 2017/2018 ish, and just going forwards with the newer instinct solar is my guess.

Mine has a back light. Is that not the same thing?

Cheers for that.....

Was umming and arrring about getting a smart watch. That offer made the decision much easier.

Tidal Blue Instinct Solar ordered.

I also entered my German address and the price jumped from £96 to 355€. Needles to say its getting delivered to my old man's place and I'll pick it up in a few months time.

Between self isolation and this place, this last week has cost me a fortune.

That happened to me after surfing through the website. Go to the OP's link and that'll take you back to the offer!

Think it’s limited colours. Wanted the graphite or black

@toomba the one the link lands on is the higher price, but others are still £96.

I’ve just opened the box on a 130plus gps that Mrs rock got me today. To avoid a divorce, and because I have skinny wrists, I won’t be getting one but they do look ruddy good for that price.

Orchid or tidal blue the only ones showing at the sale price. Is it possible they might add more colours??

Was a bit concerned that garmin tried to flog me a pc/ power lead at the same time for another 25 quid.

Please tell me it comes with a charging cable.....

In the box:

Documentation

Managed to get one, £108 I’ve paid.
Was the Enduro also massively reduced? Appears to have jumped back to close to £700.

Enduro was (maybe still is ) £240 with the gray strap option. Strange that these discounts are only available in the UK. I had to order via a uk forwarding service.

Thanks OP for the PSA. Great Crimbo day present

I got a black one at the discount price but obviously all gone at the reduced price. Other colours still available at discount.

@toomba and any others still looking, the camo, tactical and surf editions are still on offer at £108. The standard and Enduro have gone back up in price.

Edit, thankfully I got in in time last night after much procrastination and bought a standard and enduro version at the sale price with a view to sending one back if e.g. the enduro is too big for my wrist. So, I might be able to offer one for what it cost me....That's if they turn up?????

I missed the enduro and it's gone back up. I would take that off you decide you don't want it Jordan.

Missed the boat somehow 🙁

Check the bottom line, my order confirmation shows full price and then a discount applied at the bottom of the page.

Ordered Tidal Blue last night for £96. Price is booted back to £250 this morning. I will be pleasantly surprised if they honour the order.

Surely a price error?? Prices seem to have gone up within minutes of buying mine.

I don't think so, there is a special offer blurb there.

This is all over HUKD also they must be selling hundreds of them. I'm almost tempted even though I find Garmins too bulky/sweaty on my wrist which is why I don't use the one I've got. Ah consumerism!

About 9.10am

Nightmare, should have order last night when I first saw the PSA or this morning when I looked before getting out of bed. Instead I waited until after I’d had a coffee and by 9.55 it seems the price/offer has changed.
Damn you Hot Deals Uk!

I'm not convinced they will honour it tbh but good luck to you all! Looks to me like £249.99 was supposed to be the offer price.

mogrim, I'm in NI and it's doing the same thing to me. Price more than doubles whn I put it into the basket.
