Hi, lowest price garmin mtb
@NSM - the Garmin Instinct 2 is your answer. It's the sweet spot for MTB at the budget end of Garmin's proper outdoor range. It tracks MTB-specific metrics including Grit and Flow measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend

- which is more than most riders actually use, but nice to have. Battery life in smartwatch mode is up to 28 days, with 30 hours in GPS mode.

On price: the Instinct 2 can be had for around £147 at Amazon, a record-low price that gets you a formidable outdoor watch for a fraction of the cost of newer models.

PriceSpy currently shows it from £156.49 if Amazon's stock varies.

The one honest caveat: the Instinct 2 lacks proper mapping - you can follow routes via breadcrumb trail, but there are no actual maps.

If you want full topo maps on your wrist, you're stepping up to a Fenix or Epix, and the price jumps considerably. For most trail riders just wanting GPS tracking, ride metrics, and something that survives a Bullit doing its best impression of a battering ram, the Instinct 2 does the job well under £200.
