Cheapest Garmin watch Malaysia price list: six models ranked

Each price below is the lowest variation price in RM, so another colour or size can cost more. The listing data for the Approach S12 does not give a battery figure, so check its product page or Garmin’s spec sheet for that one.

The two lowest prices: bands for kids and adults

The Garmin Vivofit jr. 3 Marvel Fitness Tracker (from RM499) is a kids fitness tracker, offered in one version: the Black Panther Special Edition. Battery life is up to 1 year, so a child does not have to remember a charger every week. The display is a sunlight-visible, transflective 64 color memory-in-pixel (MIP) panel measuring 0.56″ x 0.56″ (14.11 x 14.11 mm).

It weighs 25 g on a silicone strap and has a 5 ATM water rating. It is the lowest price on the list, but it is sized and styled for children, so adults should start one step up.

The Garmin Vivosmart 5 Fitness Tracker (from RM739) is that step. It is a health and fitness tracker with essential wellness monitoring and smart features. The OLED display measures 0.41″ x 0.73″ (10.5 mm x 18.5 mm), with an acrylic lens, a polycarbonate case and a silicone strap.

The small/medium size weighs 24.5 g, the water rating is Swim, and battery life in smartwatch mode is up to 7 days. Colours are Black, Cool Mint and White, with a Black (Large) option as well. It suits you if you want daily health tracking and do not need a full watch face.

The lowest priced GPS watch is built for golf

The Garmin Approach S12 Smartwatch (from RM949) is a golf smartwatch with GPS and essential on-course features. It comes in Black, with a 0.9″ x 0.9″ (23 x 23 mm) sunlight-visible, transflective MIP display. It weighs 1.20 oz (34.1 g), has a silicone strap and is rated 5 ATM.

Buy it because you play golf. If your week is mostly runs or hikes, the watches in the next section are aimed at you.
