Huge List of Spring 2021 Sports Tech Deals (US)

It's that time of the year again, where we see a slate of sports tech deals out there. This typically happens each May, just ahead of Memorial Day in the US, and then carries through to Fathers Day. However, most of the 20% off deals with REI & Backcountry are only valid through Monday (May 31st).

As usual, I wouldn't overthink any of these deals as a sign of impending newness. For example, virtually every year Garmin has been selling the Fenix series, they've put the Fenix series on sale ahead of Fathers Day. And every year Garmin has sold Forerunner watches, we see those usually on sale in the May timeframe too.

I've consolidated everything below. I don't expect the indoor trainer deals (namely the Saris H3 and Elite Sterzo Smart ones) to last long. And the Wahoo Speedplay one is pretty big too - the first time we've ever seen that.

If you're looking for hard to get trainers and other indoor cycling gear, use the Stock Alerting tool, to get notified the second a new trainer is in stock for purchase!

Finally, both REI & Backcountry are running 20% off sales right now on much of their gear. While a lot of sports tech doesn't qualify, there are tons of deals to be had elsewhere (like apparel, shoes, etc...).

Most links here help support the site - which I greatly appreciate! These four DC Rainmaker partner sites here are also running deals on sports gear to supplement your sport tech addiction- Backcountry.com, CompetitiveCyclist.com, REI.com, and Wiggle.co.uk:

Watches & Wearables:

This covers anything you can wear that's watch-like or activity band-like, including sensors. Generally speaking, you'll mostly find deals here that are on things I've written about in the past. So you won't find a deal on some random non-sports tech watch here, or on socks. Unless the socks have some crazy sensor or something in them.

Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case - $50 Off!

$149

⚡ I use AirPods primarily when I'm travelling just to listen in airports, planes, etc... I don't tend to use these for workouts due to them falling out. Personally, I just use the basic model.

Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) - $30 off
$159

$119

I use AirPods primarily when I'm traveling just to listen in airports, planes, etc... I don't tend to use these for workouts due to them falling out. Note: Price fluctuates daily between $119-$129

$349

A good, but mostly common Apple Watch Series 6 Deal.

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music - $50 off

$299

Backcountry

Both the Forerunner 245 Music is sale for $50 off. While not a huge sale, it's actually the lowest we've seen either product priced to date. The FR245 Music supports Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms.

Garmin Instinct Tactical- $100 Off

$197

This is the lowest this watch has been ($100 off, and down to $197). Note that this is the non-Solar version, so do keep that in mind.

$269

This is Garmin's current offering to compete with the Apple Watch series (alongside the Garmin Venu), and this is a good price, though, it does go lower from time to time (not since Black Friday 2020).

$49

These are Garmin's kids activity trackers, and what both of my two oldest daughters wear daily (princess and Disney edition variants).

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 - 23% off

$329

Not as good a deal as it gets (down to $238 earlier this May), but hey, a deal is a deal.

Cycling Gear & Trainers:

Got a bike? Then this section is for you. Everything from bike computers to bike lights to trainers, it's all here. I won't generally be adding things like brake cables or bike seats here, but if I find a good deal on a cassette to stack on that new direct drive trainer you just bought, I'll probably list it here.

Action Cameras & Drones:

Wanna record it? No better way than an action camera. Anything that's action camera related or drone related you'll find here. That's especially true of action camera mounts, which are often found for great deals around the holidays. Same goes with drone and drone accessories. Usually a great time to pick up an extra battery or extra props.

GoPro Hero 9 Black - $50 off

$399

⚡ This is the camera I use for all my daily shooting during sports. Actually, I've bought a few of them. Note that if you're a GoPro Plus Subscriber, then it's a bit cheaper at $349 from GoPro directly, but otherwise, it's $449.

Other Sports & Fitness:

Anything else that's sports and fitness related that I think is interesting will be here. It may not be super techy - but it's stuff that most readers will be using in pursuit of their running/cycling/swimming/hiking/whatever.

inReach Mini Satellite Communicator - $50 off

$299

Backcountry

This is the third year in a row the inReach Mini has gone on sale ahead of Fathers Day. The only other time it was on sale was during Black Friday. Solid deal for a great little unit if you travel beyond cellular coverage. Plus, integration with Garmin watches has improved lately too.
