Black Friday is still about a week away, but the deals are already coming in hot. Retailers like Amazon are already releasing doorbusters you don't want to miss. If you were hoping to get a new smartwatch -- either for yourself or maybe as a special gift for someone -- we have the perfect deal for you. Right now, the Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch is down to its lowest price ever. You can save $50 off the retail price and snag this watch for just $200. Act fast if you want this price, though, because we don't expect this deal to last very long. 

The Garmin 165 is the perfect tool to help track miles, recovery and sleep patterns. It has many new, upgraded features from the previous model. New features include a sleep coach, sleep score, Vo2 max score, heart-rate variability status detection and nap detection. One of our experts, Caroline Igo, reviewed this smartwatch and said, "The newest Forerunner is pricey but a great device for those looking to bridge the gap between their fitness and sleep." Overall, it has a big focus on sleep health. If that's something you're looking for, take advantage of this deal while you can.

For more early Black Friday deals, check out the best early deals at other retailers like Best Buy and Walmart. We also rounded up a fantastic list of deals under $100 for those looking for a true bargain.

Why this deal matters 

This is the lowest price this smartwatch has ever been sold for. Discounts on the Garmin watch don't come often and definitely not this big. The last time we saw this product discounted was around Prime Day. But even then it cost about $225. This is an additional $25 savings on top of that previous sale price. Even though it's only a 20% savings, it's the biggest drop this watch has seen yet.
