The Garmin Venu 3 is a fantastic all-rounder, blending fitness tracking with wellness features. As I said in my review, the 1.4in AMOLED screen “always displayed my metrics in even the harshest of lighting conditions”. I appreciated how it gave me a holistic view of my health, providing a score based on sleep, workouts, and stress and letting me know when to take it easy or push harder. I also loved being able to take calls and access guided yoga or meditation directly from my wrist. Right now, you can save £51 off the Garmin Venu 3 this Black Friday.

Looking for a PS5 Pro Black Friday deal?

If you’re looking for a PS5 Pro Black Friday deal, I found one on the EE store where it’s down from £699 to £659. It’s a decent saving, considering it’s only been out for a couple of weeks.

Save £60 on this LED face mask this Black Friday

LED face masks kind of scare me, but they’re actually a pretty cool skincare tool once you get past the initial impression. Beauty writer Lucy’s found a deal on this Currentbody LED face mask and skin kit.

The Currentbody skin LED face and neck kit is one of the only devices in beauty writer Lucy’s experience that can actually help reverse the signs of aging. She described how it made a noticeable difference in her skin: “I inspected my forehead, nasolabial creases and crow’s feet weekly to scout out any noticeable improvements,” she said. “I truly believe that both the former areas appeared filled, more plump and more hydrated towards the end of the testing period.” With £60 off this Black Friday, it’s the perfect time to snap up this clever beauty gadget.
