We're at the tail end of summer, but that doesn't mean your fitness goals have to end after Labor Day. Now that Garmin has launched its latest Venu 3 and Venu 3S smartwatches, select models of the company's older and still excellent Venu 2 series are now on sale. Given Garmin's great track record of bringing new features to older wearables through future software updates, the older Venu 2 will likely gain access to the more accurate sleep-tracking capabilities of the newer watch models. So if you don't need hardware-specific features, like a built-in microphone to take Bluetooth calls on your wrist, going with some of Garmin's older sports watches could save you money. In addition to Garmin wearables, we also have deals on Lenovo laptops and mobile workstations, Apple MacBooks, and more in this post-Labor Day Dealmaster.
