Garmin Forerunner 735XT GPS Multisport Watch at the lowest price I have seen -rrp $599. Possibly superseded by the new 645 that can store music, however this is a great watch for running, swimming and cycling.

Rebel had a big lot of specials before xmas (Nov 15th).
I got a $499 version 3 for $359.20
A little miffed due to it needing charging every day compared to the Mk1 version which was the best part of a week if memory serves.
I also liked the originals face in that it gave the day, date and time unlike the new one with time only.
The 3 does have a face easier to read at night though which is a big improvement and I like not needing to wear a chest strap.What?! :-o
I've been checking since it was released and haven't found much better than full price, or discounts that still didn't make it worth the purchaseThis one?
http://www.rebelsport.com.au/Product/Garmin-Vivoactive-3-Wat…As an aside — battery life is meant to be 7 days without GPS use. I'd take that back if you're having to charge every day
Yeah thats the one.
See here is where I found it: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/342294
Its a PITA to get back to Rebel to have a whinge.
I'll have to do something though as its been p'ing me off.
Damnit missed that one… I've only been looking since late Nov / early Dec. That one is from early Nov
Would have gotten JB to price match and spent up some leftover gift vouchersGuess maybe another will come along… Eventually :'(
Not to rub salt in the wound or anything but I got the black one for 300 with a Harvey Norman price match of Rebel and the $100 Amex credit at the time.
As for the battery life if you tweak it (backlight, certain sensors etc) and don't use GPS you can get 7 days but I normally get 3 days with around an hour of GPS/Glonass per day without charging.
Normally I chuck it on change when I have a shower and haven't run out of juice yet.@Rifraf: Don't know already but if you are using firmware pre v2.80 (currents v2.90) and/or certain downloaded watch faces you may be experiencing a known battery drain bug due to the watch face forcing the GPS active.
No, I'm not. But I'll see if my provider offers anything
Still only brings the Gunmetal version down to $400
@MoneyPincher:
Thanks for the suggestions but….
I think I've turned off the gps thinking this might have been the issue but to no avail.
I use Garmin Express regularly and keep the firmware up to date.
I've not downloaded or changed any watch faces and have not connected any sensors nor have I set the watch to send my HR to my Edge unit.
Two days is the best I've ever gotten out of it.
Nice find OP, Rebel sport ebay also has it listed at $349 with free postage. With PICK5, you could get it for $331.55 ($328.06 with CR). Only has 3 left though on the site, not sure if they'll update stock with it if it sells out. Still waiting for a good price on the 935 myself (better battery life + altimeter)

Still waiting on any kind of decent sale on the Vivoactive 3… Seen a couple of recent catalogues that have advertised the normal price as a "special"
