There is already an abundance of great Black Friday smartwatch deals available. With Amazon's early-Black Friday sale having launched more than a month early, there are Suunto, Fitbit and Garmin deals available right now. The best of which, we've outlined below.

With Black Friday inching ever closer, more retailers are unveiling deals in the run-up to try and beat the cyber rush. During this run-up and over the Black Friday weekend, we'll be scouring the web for the best Black Friday cycling deals as they become available. 

Over the past few years, smartwatches have gone from simple wristwear that made a noise when you received a text message, to seriously powerful electronics that rival the capabilities of the best cycling computers. Modern smartwatches can communicate with external sensors, have built-in GPS and barometric altimeters, and can even provide turn by turn directions. The latest crop feature hypersensitive optical heart rate sensors built into the case; these can not only read your current heart rate, but they can also track resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep cycles. Oh, and did we mention they also tell the time? 

Check out our guide to the best smartwatches for cycling for more, and if you're looking for a new smartwatch today, we've rounded up the best Black Friday smartwatch deals below.

Garmin Forerunner 735XT Tri-Bundle | 40% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $499.99 | Now $299.99

The  Forerunner 735XT itself is GPS enabled and tracks every metric you could possibly want, including advanced power metrics. Even though it comes with HR-straps, the watch still sees Garmin's Elevate optical HR sensor.

Where to find even more cycling deals

Rei is an outdoor retailer based in the USA. There's always a sale, and Rei's collection of Black Friday smartwatch deals spans Garmin, Suunto, Timex, Casio and more.  

Competitive Cyclist is one of the largest cycling retailers in the US. Their cycling sale is ongoing and there are deals aplenty. They sell a small range of smartwatches, including brands like Garmin. 

BackCountry, the US outdoor sports retailer, is one of the United States' go-to online retailers for bikes, components, clothing and accessories. It doesn't limit itself to cycling though, with fishing, skiing, and even yoga in the range of sports catered for.

Jenson USA is another USA-based retailer and always has thousands of offers available.

Wiggle is one of the world's largest online cycling shops, supplying over 70 countries with cycling deals. 

Clever Training is the go-to place for all-things fitness training. With everything from turbo trainers to track pumps, the Clever Training sale has discounts on brands such as Garmin, Suunto, Topeak and more.

Gear sells a whole host of outdoor gear, but its cycling offering is what's interesting to us. There are no smartwatches, but you can get plenty of other cycling-specific tech. 

ProBikeKit often slashes prices on Castelli clothing, Scicon bike boxes, and an abundance of accessories including power meters and lights. 

Gear Coop has a huge cycling section within its sale, including Giro shoes and Look pedals with handsome discounts. 

Seshday has up to 80% off in its sale. It's not all cycling, but there's a good portion of tech that cyclists of both road and mountain bike disciplines will get excited about. 

Moosejaw isn't a dedicated cycling retailer, but it sells a range of venerable brands. There's a heap of bikes on sale, including gravel, road, and electric commuting bikes. 

Eastern Mountain Sports is another outdoor retailer that also sells cycling products. You can save up to 60% on cycling gear, although they don't sell bikes. 

Tree Fort Bikes has a range of road, gravel and mountain bikes on offer, including a number of bikes from Salsa, Surly and Giant. 

Alchemy Bikes currently has its 'roll into summer sale' and with it comes $1000 off select bikes and $1500 off the ARKTOS 27.5.

Walmart might be a left-field inclusion in this list - even with the Walmart family buying Rapha. We certainly wouldn't recommend a typical supermarket bike, but Walmart has a huge range of electronics, a lot of which are useful to us cyclists - such as GoPro cameras, iPads or laptops for Zwift, Garmin computers, or even some new clippers to keep your legs silky smooth.

Chain Reaction Cycles is owned by Wiggle, and therefore shares many of the same cycling deals as well as an international audience.

Evans cycles is one of the oldest cycling retailers in the world, it is a British company that services the world via its online store. For even more deals, check out our Evans Cycles deals.

Amazon isn't exactly the first retailer you think of when shopping for your bike but there's little the world's largest retailer doesn't sell, such as tablets for Zwift or Garmin computers.

Tredz is another British retailer with international delivery options and a range of great cycling deals.

Rutland Cycling is yet another British retailer that operates internationally.

Tweeks Cycles is more UK-focussed, but there are still some great deals worth checking out. 

Hargroves Cycles is a retailer based in the UK and regularly discounts road and gravel bikes.

Cyclestore, one of the UK's lesser-known retailers, often has Specialized products at the best available price. 

Leisure Lakes is another UK retailer. With 11 stores, it's a relatively well-known franchise, and will happily ship overseas.

Halfords is discounting all sorts of cycling products. We'd recommend against their bikes, but for electronics and tools, you can't go far wrong.
