If you're in the market for a high-performance smartwatch designed for serious athletes and adventurers, one of Garmin's most elite options is the cheapest it's ever been.

As of Aug.

24, the Garmin Fenix 8 (AMOLED, 47mm) is down to $849.98 at Amazon.

That's 23% or $250 off its list price of $1,099.99 and, according to our favorite price-tracking tool , its best price on record .

While it's not the first time we've seen the price drop this low, it is the first time this year.

Garmin covers a wide range of smartwatches, from entry-level to advanced to premium.

The Fenix 8 falls in the premium category, hence the price tag.

It's designed for athletes who want to push beyond their limits and packs advanced strength training features, dive capability, and performance-tracking stats you won't find on most watches.

Now in its eighth edition, the Fenix 8 has upped its smart features as well by adding an internal speaker and microphone for voice-messaging and calls.

It still doesn't have cellular connectivity, so you'll need to carry your phone with you to use these features, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
