The 25 best October Prime Day tech deals to shop before the end of the sale, hand-picked by a tech editor

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 02:10

Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT (or 2:59 a.m. ET), so get moving.

Fortunately, you don't need to spend hours scrolling through Amazon, because I already found the best Prime Day tech deals for you. As Mashable's tech editor, my inbox is full of brands trying to get me to cover their newest gadgets, AI models, and futuristic wearables. I get to test the latest flagship headphones, QLED TVs, and foldable phones for Mashable readers. And I gotta say — I love my job.

For Prime Big Deal Days, aka October Prime Day 2025, Amazon (as well as Best Buy, Walmart, and other retailers and brands) has discounted some of my favorite gadgets of the year. I'm also spotting Prime Day deals on boring but essential products like memory cards, wireless chargers, and USB-C cables. So, I've gathered all of the top discounts into one place for Mashable readers. Remember: Prime Big Deal Days 2025 started on Oct. 7 and only lasts until Oct. 8, so time is ticking on the last big Amazon sale until Black Friday.

Whether you've been waiting to invest in a new laptop or 65-inch TV, or just need to replace some tech that's past its expiration date, the next 48 hours are going to be a prime time to shop. So, without any further preamble, let's get into my favorite Prime Day tech deals from brands like Apple, Samsung, DJI, Dyson, Shark, and Bose. I will also be providing live updates in our October Prime Day live blog. These are the best last-chance deals to snag before Prime Big Deal Days ends.

Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth Speaker

This Beats deal truly took me by surprise. I would have been excited about a discount to $79, but Amazon has marked down these Bluetooth speakers to $49.99, beating the previous record price by about $50. This party speaker is IP67 water-resistant and has the easy connectivity and audio quality you expect from a Beats product.

Update: The Kim Kardashian Beats Pill speaker is no longer at this price at Amazon. For a similar alternative, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 has the same water resistance rating and is on sale for $66.49 (34% off).

$149.95 Save $99.96 Get Deal Apple AirPods starting at $89

There's just something about the phrase "$89 AirPods" that sounds right, doesn't it? In the tariffs era, the fact that you can buy new AirPods for $89 feels like a small miracle. While all eyes will be on the new AirPods Pro 3, if you don't need ANC — or have a tendency to lose your earbuds — this purchase is a no-brainer.

$129 Save $40 Get Deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

When I say I'm a book nerd, I mean that I literally collect rare and first-edition books. And my Kindle Paperwhite goes with me everywhere. Amazon doesn't always offer Prime Day Kindle deals, and this year's discounts are surprisingly good. While I recommend getting the Kindle Paperwhite (without lockscreen ads), the base Kindle is also on sale.

$109.99 Save $25 Get Deal Apple AirTag (4-Pack)

AirTags are just 50 cents shy of their all-time low price at Amazon. (Best Buy is also matching this price.) These popular trackers use Apple's massive Find My network to help you track down lost items, and they've never been more affordable. Buy the four-pack and pay just $16.24 per tracker.

$99 Save $34.01 Get Deal Anker power stations

Mashable has been testing the new Anker Solix power stations, and once you buy one, you'll never go camping without them again. They're also handy for music festivals or emergency blackouts. For Prime Day, you can grab these popular power stations at record prices. For Prime Big Deal Days, these appliances have massive discounts, with savings up to $1,200.

$1,999 Save $1,200 Get Deal Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

Looking for the best Prime Day deal on noise-cancelling headphones? While you can grab the Apple AirPods Max at their lowest-ever price, I actually recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. With a cool $100 discount, these are my top picks in the headphones category. They're the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, and the ANC is phenomenal.

$429 Save $100 Get Deal Some boring-but-essential smart plugs

This isn't the sexiest gadget on my list, but it might be the most useful. These Kasa Smart Plugs can turn just about any floor lamp or fan into a smart device that I can control with my voice or schedule (no hub needed). They're incredibly reliable and easy to set up. A single plug is a good deal, but the real value is in this four-pack, which brings the cost down to just over $6 per plug. You can never have too many.

$29.99 Save $6 Get Deal My favorite Anker charging gadgets

I've said it before, but Anker makes my favorite charging accessories, and I use their stuff every single day. Prime Day is always a great time to stock up on their power banks, cables, and wall adapters. My top recommendation this year is this clever MagSafe gadget that's part card reader, part charger. If you're a creator who's constantly offloading photos or drone footage, it's a lifesaver. It lets you transfer files from an SD or microSD card while still charging your iPhone, which is a ridiculously smart design. I'm also a huge fan of their super-slim Nano power bank, which snaps right onto the back of your iPhone and is perfect for travel.

$54.99 Save $15 Get Deal A new MacBook Air

The M4 MacBook Air was released earlier this year, and it's been shockingly affordable. But now it's back at its lowest-ever price of $799. That's a $200 discount on a new Apple laptop with a blazing-fast M4 chip, a gorgeous Liquid Retina display, and a hefty 16GB of RAM.

$999 Save $200 Get Deal The best Windows laptop (and a true MacBook rival)

I already recommended the M4 MacBook Air, but if you're a Windows person, this is the laptop to get. The new Surface Laptop 7 is one of the first Copilot+ PCs, billed as the "fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever." It's incredibly light at just 2.7 pounds, has a battery that actually lasts all day, and the new Snapdragon X Plus chip is impressively fast. At $250 off, you're getting a brand new, future-proof machine that gives the MacBook a serious run for its money.

If you need even more processing power, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with the Snapdragon X Elite is also on sale for Prime Day.

$899.99 Save $179.99 Get Deal Samsung The Frame art TVs

I think Samsung's cult-favorite art TV is the best TV in the world, full stop. While it doesn't have the most advanced display for gaming or watching movies, there's just nothing else like it. The ultra-thin TV has a magic-like matte display, and it transforms into a work of art when not in use. The often-imitated TV usually gets a discount during big sales, and this year, both the 2024 and 2025 models are on sale.

If you opt for the more expensive 2025 edition, you'll get an improved AI-powered processor and better backlighting for deeper blacks and improved contrast. The 55-inch 2025 Frame TV dropped by an extra $40 between Oct. 7 and Oct. 8, dropping it more comfortably under $1,000.

$1,497.99 Save $540 Get Deal Amazon Echo Show 8

Amazon just previewed its new generation of more advanced (and more expensive) Echo Show devices, so take advantage of this sale on the smart displays. Amazon is likely clearing the way for its new devices, but this model gives you all the necessary functionality and cross-device support you really need.

$149.99 Save $50.00 Get Deal Shark vacuums

I have a small army of robot vacuums and stick vacuums in my apartment at any given time, and since I live in New York City, space is at a premium. That means I have high standards for my cleaning machines, and Shark's underrated (and affordably priced) vacuums have always impressed me.

$549.99 Save $320 Best-seller Get Deal JBL party speakers

I've been testing party speakers for Mashable for years, and JBL consistently outperforms so-called premium brands. The JBL Flip 6 is actually my most-recommended speaker, and we've also tested and loved the brand's new boombox-style Party Box. Both are on sale for Prime Day.

I've tested a few smartphone gimbals, and DJI makes the best one by far. It's deceptively simple to use and provides pro-level stabilization and face tracking. If you're a creator (or aspiring creator), then this gimbal is a must-have IMO. I'm keeping a close eye on the top Prime Day deals on DJI products, so keep checking back for more savings.

Any Prime Day is one of the best times to buy a new TV, and Prime Big Deal Days is already delivering major doorbuster deals on budget TVs. You can find 50-, 55-, and 65-inch flatscreens for under $300 this year, including 4K smart TVs and Fire TVs from Roku, Hisense, and Toshiba.

My favorite TV brand for the past few years has been Samsung, which makes impressive QLED, OLED, and art TVs. And I wouldn't even consider buying one unless it was Prime Day or Black Friday. This premium QLED smart TV is on sale for $350 off its retail price for a limited time. Equipped with Samsung's latest AI processor, this 2025 model TV offers incredible value at this price point.

$2,696.99 Save $1,324.00 Get Deal An easy upgrade for your 'dumb' TV

If the built-in apps on your TV have gotten frustratingly slow, the Fire TV Stick 4K is the easiest fix in tech. For less than $25, you can make any TV smarter and faster. This latest model supports all the key formats (4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+) and has WiFi 6 for smoother streaming. The Alexa voice remote is also surprisingly good at finding what you want to watch. It's one of those classic Prime Day doorbuster deals I recommend to everyone.

$49.99 Save $20.00 Get Deal Samsung monitors

Whether you need a compact second monitor for your home office or a premium gaming monitor, Samsung always offers fantastic monitor deals during big sales. For home offices, I'd recommend the bevel-less 22-inch business monitor, which is a steal at its current price. And for gamers, the Odyssey line of monitors offers stunning visuals and cutting-edge display specs.

I love Jackery's products. The brand's popular portable power stations are a staple at campgrounds and music festivals, but they can also give you a much-needed power-up during blackouts. While this is the older version of the Jackery Explorer series, I've never seen it priced this low before.

$259 Save $100 Get Deal A hip foldable flip phone

Earlier this year, I said 2025 was the year the foldable phone became a smart option for everyday users, not just early adopters. Personally, I prefer the convenient size and form factor of the smaller flip-style foldables.

As much as I love the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 released over the summer, I actually think people have been sleeping on the Motorola Razr Ultra. If you want flagship-quality in a flip phone, this stylish smartphone has a lot to offer. It has an insane battery life and is packed with AI features, if that's your thing. Plus, it comes with 512GB of memory, compared to the Z Flip 7's starting memory of 128GB. For a limited time, save $300 on both of these unlocked smartphones.

Amazon promised big savings on both Beats and Bose headphones this year, and the retailer delivered. This year, you can grab big discounts of 25% or more on some of my favorite wireless headphones, including Beats. I'm a big fan of the Beats Fit Pro in particular, as they're the best workout earbuds you can buy for under $200.

$199.95 Save $50.95 Get Deal A super-fast memory card for your Switch or drone

Your new Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or DJI drone is going to need more storage, and Prime Day is the absolute best time to buy a memory card. My go-to is always the Samsung EVO Select line — they're fast, reliable, and this deal on the 512GB model is a fantastic value. Don't skimp and get a smaller card; you'll thank me later when you don't have to constantly delete games or 4K drone footage.

"Apple's M4 MacBook Air is a sleek speed demon: In our CPU benchmark, it outperformed 89% of the models in our laptop testing database. It doesn't look all that different from older MacBooks with M-something chips, but its upgraded 12MP Center Stage camera was a welcome upgrade to our reviewer.

I recommend the 13-inch model for students and anyone who prioritizes portability. Right now, it's a great pick for budget shoppers, too: The 256GB base configuration is on sale for just $799 (or $200) off, a record low." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

"Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel likes the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip for most people.

It was previously down to $999.99 during Prime Big Deal Days, pulling it under $1,000 for the first time. Unfortunately, it's bumped back up in price by $70. It's now $1,069.99 or 33% off. Still not a bad deal in the final hours of Prime Day." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Mashable's Bethany Allard wrote with her experience using the mic that it "offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value. That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills — once I plugged the receiver into my phone, the mics connected easily and started working with the camera app automatically."

Its not too late: These are the best last-minute stocking stuffer deals to grab before Prime Day ends

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 02:04

It’s the final countdown for Prime Big Deal Days, and if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by all the deals, I totally get it. (I do this every year, and I’m still shocked at how much there is to sort through.) If you’re using Prime Day as a way to get ahead on your holiday shopping (first, kudos to you) or find gifts for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, my advice is to forget the big-ticket items and instead focus on the stocking stuffers.

SEE ALSO: The top Christmas gift ideas on sale for Prime Day

I’m not exactly talking about “deals under $25” (we’ve got an entire category post for that), but rather small items that offer some utility or inside-joke novelty (or, you know, just a nice little treat for yourself). You only have until midnight to grab them, so here are a few of my favorite stocking stuffer deals to snag before they're gone.

25 Apple products are on sale for record lows this October Prime Day

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 01:59

Amazon's Apple deals have been especially juicy and ripe this week, but this is your last chance to pick them. The retail giant's fourth annual Prime Big Deal Days sale ends tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 8, and it's your final opportunity to grab some record-low prices on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks.

The best October Prime Day Apple deals at a glance: Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods 4 $89 (save $40) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS + cellular, 42mm) $329 (save $170) Get Deal Best iPad Deal Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M3, WiFi, 128GB) $449 (save $150) Get Deal Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $799 (save $200) Get Deal Best Accessories Deal Apple AirTag $19.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal

This year, the "October Prime Day" sale (Amazon's unofficial Black Friday kickoff event) comes hot on the heels of Apple's "Awe Dropping" launch of new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. Deals on the new iPhone 17 series or iPhone Air are highly unlikely — no luck yet, at least — but the brand-new Apple Watch Series 11 and SE 3 are already seeing their first teensy discounts in honor of the occasion.

If you don't mind some slight spec downgrades, Amazon is doling out even more impressive discounts to those wearables' predecessors: The Apple Watch Series 10 and second-gen SE with cellular connectivity are on sale for $329 and $219, respectively. Those deals blow past their previous all-time lows.

SEE ALSO: 200+ October Prime Day deals: Save on Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Lego

Some of the best deals have actually been today, on the final day of the sale. Other Apple products that have fallen to record-low prices this Prime Big Deal Days include the AirPods 4 (now starting at just $89), the 11-inch M3 iPad Air (now $449), and the M4 MacBook Air (now $799 in the 13-inch size). A few devices are actually cheaper today than they were when the sale started on Tuesday. The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air is just $969 as of Wednesday evening (normally $1,199); it was $979 this afternoon. And the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro is $799 today (normally $999). Meanwhile, the AirPods 4 with ANC are $118.99 now — a full cent lower than earlier. Hey, can't say we didn't tell you.

In total, we've spotted over two dozen Apple products that are chilling at record lows on Amazon this week. If they sell out there (the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro is no longer available), Best Buy is matching some but not all of them during its competing Techtober Sale.

You've only got a few hours left to shop, as these deals will disappear when the sale ends at midnight. We're rounding up our top picks below and will be monitoring them for any last-minute price drops or stock alerts. Don't wait if you see something you want. Record lows are marked with a 🔥.

Best October Prime Day AirPods deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 🔥 $89 at Amazon
$129 Save $40 Get Deal Why we like them

Apple's latest wireless earbuds are one of our favorite pairs for budget shoppers, offering "five hours of battery life and smooth sound quality," per Mashable's Samantha Mangino. (She especially recommends them for iPhone and iPad owners because they connect seamlessly with those devices.) Dirt-cheap AirPods are a Prime Day staple, and Amazon really delivered this Prime Big Deal Days: The standard AirPods are only $89 right now (normally $129), while the ANC version is just $118.98 (usually $179). You'll lock in an all-time low either way.

$499 Save $170 Get Deal Why we like it

While the Apple Watch Series 10 is virtually identical to its successor in terms of features and design, its battery life is a bit worse. That's not ideal if you plan to regularly use tracking tools like Sleep Score, which get less accurate in Low Power Mode, but it's an easy sacrifice at a price like this. The rose gold Series 10 with cellular connectivity and a light blush sport band is now just $329 — a 34% savings and a new all-time low. Before this month, it never dipped below $370.

This deal is so good, we almost think it might be a fluke on Amazon's part (either that or an inventory-clearing clearance discount).

The latest 11-inch iPad Air isn't vastly different from its M2 predecessor, but its better battery life (over 14 hours per charge) and faster M3 processor are both appreciated upgrades. That impressive performance, plus the fact that iPadOS 26 now supports a nifty windowing system, makes it a solid MacBook alternative for shoppers on a budget. We think it's the best iPad for most people, especially now that it's down to just $449 at Amazon — that's its best price on record.

The M4 MacBook Air is an absolute powerhouse, outperforming 89% of the laptops in our current testing database. Compared to the previous-gen M3 model, it features a better 12MP Center Stage camera and open-lid support for two external displays. The 13-inch model is now on sale for just $799 (typically $999), which is yet another all-time low.

One of the best Dyson Airwrap dupes Ive tried is at its lowest price ever during the final hours of October Prime Day

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 01:58

Save 21%: As of Oct. 8, the T3 Aire 360 is down to a new record low price of $236.99. This deal shaves $63 off the multi-styler, which usually goes for $299.99.

T3 Aire 360 $299.99 at Amazon
Get Deal

As Mashable's shopping reporter on the Dyson beauty beat, I'm always looking for hidden gem dupes, and when it comes to the Dyson Airwrap, the T3 Aire 360 is one of the best.

While not as popular as the original Airwrap or the Shark FlexStyle, T3's multi-styler brings two major pros: its ceramic barrels help create the longest-lasting curls, and the storage pouch is the best option available for anyone who travels often or is limited on storage space. And best of all, the T3 Aire 360 is down to a new record-low price during the final hours of Prime Big Deal Days on Oct. 8, clocking in at just $236.99 — $63 cheaper than its $299.99 list price.

Prior to this October Prime Day deal, we'd only seen it get down to $249.99.

SEE ALSO: 200+ October Prime Day deals: Last call for savings on Apple, Kindle, Sony, Ninja, and Lego

Compared to the original Airwrap and other dupes, the Aire 360 is admittedly more limited on the attachment options, with just two curling barrels (one for each direction), a round brush, and a standard dryer head. If you anticipate most wanting a multi-styler for drying and curling hair, I see this more limited selection as a bonus — instead of a massive case that you get with the Airwrap, the Aire 360 comes with a smaller pouch that's a much more convenient storage solution.

As I mentioned above, the curls are also more defined and longer-lasting. Most curling attachments I've tried are curly at first, but fall to a more blown-out look relatively quick. The Aire 360, on the other hand, creates a loose wave style (which I imagine on hair that holds curls well, would be more of a true curl).

All said, the Aire 360 is maybe the most underrated Dyson dupe on the market, even at full price, making this deal especially worth checking out.

Our favorite budget headphones are 50% off in this last chance Prime Day deal

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 01:53

SAVE $40: The already discounted JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones just got another price cut. In the final hours of the Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon slashed the price on the headphones down to $39.99, making them 50% off and saving you $40.

We're in the final hours of Prime Big Deal Days, aka October Prime Day, and even though there are just hours left in the sale, we're still deal hunting. Even though the sale is about to wrap up, Amazon is still dropping deals. We're keeping an eye on our favorite products — and their prices — for any exciting last-minute savings to be had. The latest deal we found is on the JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones.

For most of Prime Day, the JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones have been hovering around $46, a pretty good deal, saving almost $35 on the headphones. But Amazon has knocked the price down even more, and the JLab JBuds Lux headphones are now just $39.99, bringing them to 50% off.

This deal is only on the mauve color, so if you're picky about colors and this shade isn't your thing, then you'll have to pay a little more. But if you're into the mauve, then this deal is not to be missed.

The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones are our favorite budget headphones. They deliver impressive active noise cancellation, multi-point pairing, and spatial audio. You may need to mess around with the EQ to find your preferred setting, but otherwise, you'll be pleased with the well-rounded sound they deliver.

Nearly all Loop earplugs are on sale during October Prime Day

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 01:05

Whether you're trying to protect your hearing during a concert or protect your focus in a noisy environment, Loop earplugs have become a popular option — and after testing them out for ourselves, we see why.

Though they offer a degree of convenience as reusable earplugs, they can also induce a bit of sticker shock, especially when compared to disposable foam earplugs. That's what makes this October Prime Day a great time to pick up Loop earplugs — especially as four different types are on sale. (The only ones we didn't spot on sale from their main lineup were sleep-specific Loop Dream earplugs).

SEE ALSO: What is Prime Big Deal Days? Everything to know about day 2 deals live now

So, which Loop earplug deals are available? We broke it down below. If you're interested, you'll want to shop sooner rather than later — Prime Big Deal Days is only on through 11:59 p.m. PST on Oct. 8 (or 2:59 a.m. on Oct. 9, for anyone on the east coast).

Best Loop Experience 2 deal Loop Experience 2 $38.95 at Amazon
Get Deal Why we like it

Mashable's Haley Henschel took the Loop Experience 2 earplugs along with her to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, and found that they did exactly the job she needed them to: "By the end of the night," she wrote, "I had two very sore feet but two very happy ears — no tinnitus, no headaches." Though they kept the volume down, Henschel wrote that the music still came through with perfect clarity. Add in the fact that they're cute, comfy, and have a convenient keychain case. It's clear why these earplugs are slowly becoming a concert staple.

Best Loop Engage 2 deal Loop Engage 2 $35.95 at Amazon
Get Deal Why we like it

If the idea of lowering the volume in day-to-day life while still keeping you aware of the world is appealing, these are the Loop earplugs for you. The Engage 2 block up to 16 decibels of noise. When I tested them out, I found that it was easy to keep up a conversation, even in a noisier setting, but that background noise felt dimmed.

Best Loop Quiet 2 deal Loop Quiet 2 $14.49 at Amazon
$20.95 Save $6.46 Get Deal Why we like it

If you want to hear much less of the world around you and be more dialed in on the task in front of you, the Loop Quiet 2 are your best bet. These earplugs block up to 24 decibels of noise, and truly compared to noise-cancelling earbuds when I tested them out. While you do lose the ability to stream audio, I found that helpful in not accidentally getting distracted by my devices. And, they can double comfortably as sleep earplugs. Plus, at $14.49, these are the cheapest Loop earplugs available during Prime Big Deal Days.

Best Loop Switch 2 deal Loop Switch 2 $44.95 at Amazon
$59.95 Save $15 Get Deal Why we like it

For anyone who finds themselves caught between all of the above options, the Loop Switch 2 are the most versatile earplugs available from the brand. With a small on-ear switch, these earplugs offer three levels of blockage at 20dB, 23dB, and 26db. They do have a harder exterior that doesn't make them great for sleep, but for pretty much any other situation, these earplugs will do the trick. Their versatility does come with a cost — at full price, they're $59.95. However, their Prime Day pricing brings them down to a more manageable $44.95.

We tracked down 5 content creator-approved deals live during October Prime Day

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 00:24

These days, all you really need to create content is a phone.

That said, investing in your setup can upgrade the quality of your content. While that doesn't necessarily require spending hundreds of dollars — you can grab an Octobuddy phone case for under $20 — costs can add up quickly.

That's what makes sales like October Prime Day an opportune time to pick up new gear, whether it be an upgraded mic, new light, or camera. Admittedly, sorting through the mountain of deals that are live can get overwhelming, which is why we used our combined expertise of deals and what gadgets creators use to track down five of the best creator-approved deals live during Prime Big Deal Days.

There are still a few hours left to shop Prime Big Deal Days and, luckily, all of our creator-approved deals are still live. Check them out below:

Octobuddy phone case Credit: Octobuddy

Chances are, you've probably already seen the phone accessory that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Whitney Leavitt and TikTok creator Tess Gigone both cited as an essential tool in their content creation kit. The Octobuddy's popularity makes sense — the suction cups basically give you the option to turn anything into a phone stand. While the classic model isn't on sale (yet), the slightly larger MAX Octobuddy is a few bucks off.

Octobuddy Classic MAX $13.59 at Amazon
$16.99 Save $3.40 Get Deal DJI Mic Mini Credit: DJI

If you've been on TikTok lately, you've almost certainly seen DJI's tiny mic, aptly named the DJI Mic Mini. We tested it out for ourselves, and were impressed by the jump in audio quality, range of customization, and ease of use (our social media team even used it to interview VidCon's Hall of Fame inductees). Great audio can elevate content, and though that can be pricey, this deal drops this mic (which comes with two transmitters and one receiver) to just $79 — its lowest price ever.

YouTuber Nicole Rafiee told Mashable the Bose QuietComfort headphones are her "true ride or die." While she uses the older model (the QuietComfort 45), the QuietComfort headphones retain the excellent padding, great sound quality, and impressive ANC found on the older headphones. And on sale, they're just $230.

Bose QuietComfort headphones $199 at Amazon
$349 Save $150 Get Deal The Alix Earle light

TikTok creator Sa Nguyen and creator Brooke Ashley Hall both told Mashable they use the clip-on found light made famous by Alix Earle in 2022. Hall said to Mashable, "We've had it forever, but it's the one that clips on the front of your phone. It's great that [Alix Earle] made it so popular." Though the light is already relatively affordable at full price, its Prime Big Deal Day price brings it down to just $20.39.

Newmowa LED light clip $20.39 at Amazon
$29.99 Save $9.60 Get Deal A camera with a great built-in mic

A good camera can easily cost over $1,000, but one of the two cameras creator Nicole Laneo uses (outside of her phone) sits just under that price point at full price. Thankfully, it's also on sale during October Prime Day, putting it at a slightly more accessible $899. It's not an upgrade for the casual creator, but if you're serious about having some high-quality footage — and are interested in the built-in three-microphone array Laneo cites as one of her favorite specs, this deal could be worth checking out.

Im wary of buying sex toys on Amazon, but this last-chance Satisfyer deal is too good to ignore

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 00:23
Best October Prime Day Satisfyer deals Best deal overall Satisfyer Pro 2 $39.66 (save $9.92) Get Deal Best runner-up deal Satisfyer Pro 3+ $36.95 (save $9) Get Deal

Here's something you probably know (or maybe don't know): Amazon's Prime Day doesn't officially support deals on sexual health and wellness products. You won't see them advertised on the homepage. But that doesn't mean the deals don't exist. If you know where to look, you can still snag some "Prime Day-esque" deals on tons of great toys.

SEE ALSO: When does October Prime Day end? You're running out of time to shop for Amazon deals.

Now, I'm a stickler for this stuff. I usually advise against buying sex toys on Amazon due to issues with counterfeits and questionable third-party sellers. But for the final hours of Prime Day, I'm making an exception for Satisfyer. It's a legit brand with a real legacy, especially when it comes to its suction toys.

Because of Amazon's category restrictions, you won't see a big "SALE" banner on Satisfyer's product pages. Instead, the brand is offering exclusive discount codes and other promotions that run through Oct. 11.

$49.58 Save $9.92 Get 20% off with code FALLPRIME20 Get Deal Why we like it

The Satisfyer Pro 2 is designed specifically for people who prefer clitoral stimulation over penetration, using what the brand calls "Airpulse technology" to create touch-free pressure waves. So there's nothing actually touching your clitoris — it's just light, little puffs of air. (There are 11 pressure settings that can get intense quick!)

With over 59,000 reviews on Amazon, the Pro 2 is a true cult classic. It's not my personal favorite (I own it in rose gold and blue; and it gets me there, but I have other toys in my arsenal that I prefer over this one), but I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum — and the sheer volume of glowing, and some totally hilarious, reviews speaks for itself. Seriously, if you need a laugh, go read them.

Now through Oct. 11, you can use the code FALLPRIME20 to get 20% off and find out what all the hype is about.

My favorite yellow headphones are even cheaper than last Prime Day

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 00:12

SAVE $36.99: The Sony WH-CH520 headphones are down to $33 in the butter yellow color ($38 in other colorways). That's a 53% discount on the $69.99 MSRP.

$69.99 Save $36.99 Get Deal

During July's Prime Day, I could not shut up about the butter yellow Sony WH-CH520 headphones. The color is stunning, and the $38 sale price was too good to pass up. Now, during Prime Big Deal Days, my beloved yellow headphones are down to an even lower $33. If you want to get them at this price, you'll have to act fast, though, as we're coming into the final hours of Amazon's sale, which ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on Oct. 8 (2:59 a.m. ET on Oct. 9).

I, of course, bought myself a pair in July (even though I test audio products for a living and literally have five premium noise-cancelling headphones sitting in my home office). I use them as my everyday headphones when I don't care to fully block out the world. They're an awesome pair of cheap headphones that I don't have to be too precious with. (I also influenced my mom to buy the pink pair.)

SEE ALSO: Long-term review: Sony's WH-CH520 are the best headphones under $50 — period

Because of the on-ear design, you're not going to get superb noise cancellation (there's no ANC on these cans), but they do a surprisingly good job of passively blocking noise. I took these on a flight and was able to comfortably block out the passengers around me.

I could ramble on about these, but I'll just say that three months later, I'm still stoked about my purchase, and I'm jealous of everyone who gets to buy the gorgeous butter yellow Sony headphones for even cheaper during Prime Big Deal Days.

We're in the final hours of the final day of the sale (Oct. 8), and the deals are actually holding strong. We're seeing great prices on everything from Anker power stations to classic Coleman tents. The ever-popular LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is also on a steep 37% discount. This is your last opportunity to grab these deals before they're gone.

Below, you'll find the best outdoor deals you can still grab before Prime Day ends tonight.

Going camping with a portable power station in tow is arguably more important than the hot dogs or the firewood. A portable power station gives you the ability to keep your phones charged, the mood-setting lights on, and even power a coffee maker if you brought one along. The Prime Day sale price of $379 is a new record-low, beating the previous all-time low of $429.

In our testing, the Anker Solix C1000 is the best overall portable power station, packing in a nice 1,056Wh of capacity. That's enough to keep everyone happily charged up for several days. Plus, it only takes 58 minutes of charging time to get back to full capacity on the power station.

A LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is an essential if you're heading out on a hike.

It's also a great idea to add one to your emergency kit at home. LifeStraw is a classic Prime Day item that's always worth scoring.

Mashable readers know best — heres what our readers bought during October Prime Day

Wed, 10/08/2025 - 23:05

All day, we're here writing about the best deals to shop during Prime Big Deal Days, but we often wonder if our top picks resonate with our readers. Luckily, we have data to tell us what Mashable reader's are actually buying.

The list doesn't entirely surprise us. Our readers are into the classic deals like Apple AirTags, Crest 3D WhiteStrips, and Lifestraws, but there are a few things that surprise us on the list.

If you're still shopping on day two of October Prime Day, look to what our readers are buying for some guidance. Here are the 20 most popular items Mashable readers bought during October Prime Day.

Apple AirTags Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag 4-pack $64.99 at Amazon
$99 Save $34.01 Get Deal

We're not surprised to see Apple AirTags topping the list of items our readers bought during Prime Big Deal Days. These Bluetooth trackers work seamlessly within the iOS system, are not just travel essentials. They help you keep track of important items like your keys or wallet, perfect for the absent-minded among us.

The 4-pack of Apple AirTags are basically at their lowest price ever at $64.99 (technically their lowest was $64.49, but who's counting 50 cents?) That saves you $34.01, making each AirTag $16.25.

M4 MacBook Air Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $799 at Amazon
$999 Save $200 Get Deal

When the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air dropped back down to $799 — its lowest price ever — Mashable readers jumped to buy the laptop. It's one of the best deals during October Prime Day, offering exceptional speed thanks to the M4 chip, for under $1,000.

Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Opens in a new window Credit: Beats Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian $49.99 at Amazon
$149.95 Save $99.96 Get Deal

One of the absolute best deals during October Prime Day was on the Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian. It dropped down to $49.99, its lowest price ever, saving 67% off its $149.95 list price. Readers jumped at the deal, grabbing the speaker and saving $99.96. Unfortunately, it was so popular that it sold out. It's still on sale, but for a price of $118.95, which admittedly, isn't nearly as exciting as $50.

Crest 3D Whitestrips Opens in a new window Credit: Crest Crest 3D Whitestrips $29.99 at Amazon
$45.99 Save $16.00 Get Deal

Crest 3D Whitestrips are a Prime Day classic. They're a bathroom cabinet staple, but at their list price of $45.99, they're expensive to restock. But when they're down to $29.99, they're a much better value.

Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet Opens in a new window Credit: Pokemon Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet Binder Box $47.99 at Amazon
$67.89 Save $19.90 Get Deal

Our readers love deals on Pokémon, even beyond Prime Day. The top-selling pack during Prime Big Deal Days is the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet Binder Box. This premium bundle combines both functionality and Gen-V fun: Inside, you’ll find a themed 9-pocket binder capable of holding hundreds of cards, plus five Black Bolt booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet expansion and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

DJI Mic Mini Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini $79 at Amazon
$119 Save $40 Get Deal

When the Mashable team went to Vidcon this past year, the DJI Mini Mic was key in running interviews and filming content with our favorite creators. They produce high-quality audio for an affordable price, and when they're down to $79 during Prime Day, they're an exceptional value, which our readers are taking full advantage of.

Apple AirPods 4 Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $89 at Amazon
$129 Save $40 Get Deal

There have been lots of good deals on headphones and earbuds this Prime Day, but the one our readers are taking advantage of is on the Apple AirPods 4. For under $100, they bring spatial audio, water and sweat resistance, and up to 30 hours of battery life with their charging case.

Lifestraw Opens in a new window Credit: LifeStraw LifeStraw $9.45 at Amazon
$14.95 Save $5.50 Get Deal

Apparently, Mashable readers are an outdoorsy bunch because they're buying up the LifeStraw. This self-filtering straw purifies water as you sip, protecting against bacteria and parasites. It's a classic Prime Day deal, now under $10 during Prime Big Deal Days.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $124.99 at Amazon
$159.99 Save $35.00 Get Deal

It's no secret that we love Kindles here at Mashable, and it's no secret that our readers do too. We thought the best deal was on the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, but our readers are buying up the standard Paperwhite. It's the cheaper option but still comes with many of the same perks, including long battery life, adjustable brightness and warmth, and 16GB of storage.

Insignia 75-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV Opens in a new window Credit: Insignia Insignia 75-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV $399.99 at Amazon
$649.99 Save $250 Get Deal

The TV deal our readers are chasing is on the Insignia 75-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV, a deal so popular it already sold out once. Luckily, it's back in stock on the final day of Prime Day. With this Insignia Fire TV, you can watch all your favorite shows in 4K without needing an extra streaming device since one is already built-in.

Marshall Emberton II speaker Opens in a new window Credit: Marshall Marshall Emberton II Speaker $99.99 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $80.00 Get Deal

Another Bluetooth speaker that our readers are buying up is the Marshall Emberton II speaker. During Prime Day, it's under $100 and offers over 30 hours of battery life with True Stereophonic, a form of multi-directional sound.

Marshall meets exceptional performance with elevated design standards. It has an IP67 rating, providing dust- and water-resistance, but it doesn't look utilitarian, staying stylish with Marshall's signature vintage look.

Anker Solix C1000 Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Anker Solix C1000 Power Station $379 at Amazon
$799 Save $420 Get Deal

We thoroughly vetted the Anker Solix C1000, awarding it a Mashable Choice Award for its performance and versatility. And even though we'd recommend it at full price, it's an exceptional value during Prime Day. Our readers are buying up the Anker Solix C1000 for just $379 during Prime Big Deal Days, knocking 53% off its price tag. It's the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16 chip, 128GB, WiFi) Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16 chip, 128GB, WiFi) $279 at Amazon
$349 Save $70 Get Deal

Sure, there are other tablets out there, but you don't really need to look beyond Apple's iPads. Our readers are snatching up the Apple iPad with A16 chip that's down to $279. That's the tablet's lowest price ever, saving you $70.

You can get all of that for just $67.94.

$24.95 Save $6.25 Get Deal

Readers are really going for LifeStraw products. The LifeStraw Peak Series is another emergency filter straw but a little higher end than the basic LifeStraw. It has an enhanced filter to reduce clogging caused by sand that might find its way into the straw. It's now 25% off during Prime Day and under $20.

Jackery Explorer 300 Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer 300 $159 at Amazon
$259 Save $100 Get Deal

Another power station that our readers are buying up is the Jackery Explorer 300. It's a more affordable option than the Anker Solix, while still providing plenty of power for your camping adventures. It's $100 off during Prime Day, bring it down to $159.

Amazon Fire TV Stick Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K $24.99 at Amazon

The Kasa Smart Plugs HS103P4 4-pack are $23.99, saving you $6 off their $29.99 list price.

Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar $31.49 at Amazon
$44.99 Save $13.50 Get Deal

Another holiday deal being snatched up by our readers is the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar. It's suitable for kids 6 years of age or older, but is equally fit for a Lego enthusiast of any age.

$299.99 Save $150.99 Shop Now

One deal that our readers went crazy for is on Shark's cordless pet vacuum. This deal was so popular that it sold out (sad), but then reappeared as back in stock (yay). Since there's no telling what the last few hours of October Prime Day will bring, hop on this deal soon before it vanishes again.

Amazon’s get 3 for the price of 2 sale is the sneaky savings trick you’ll want to use before Prime Day ends

Wed, 10/08/2025 - 22:52

If you’ve been lurking on Amazon during the new Prime Day sale, thinking the bargains aren't big enough, the retailer quietly dropped a ‘3 for 2’ promo that's easy to miss.

Just in time for the Prime Big Deal Days sale’s final day, this is a deceptively simple offer that can lead to huge savings across books, music, DVDs, toys, and more, but there’s a little strategy involved if you want to make the most of it.

This “Get 3 for the price of 2” deal at Amazon during Prime Big Deal Days is refreshingly straightforward: add three eligible items to your cart, and the cost of the cheapest one is automatically deducted at checkout; that’s in addition to any Prime Day price drops these items already have. 

That means if you pick up Atomic Habits (now $15.39 instead of $27), The Secret of Secrets ($22.80 instead of $38), and Regretting You ($12.95 instead of $14.95), your total will be discounted by $12.95 (the cheapest item of the three) when you hit checkout.

SEE ALSO: 200+ October Prime Day deals: We found record savings on Apple, Kindle, Sony, Ninja, and Lego

The catch that you need to look out for, though, is that the discount doesn’t appear until the final screen, right under your total; so don’t panic if you don’t see it upfront.

Here’s how to claim in three easy steps:

  1. Add any three qualifying products to your cart (look for items sold by Amazon.com).

  2. Go to your cart and proceed to checkout.

  3. The lowest-priced item becomes free — automatically.

An important tip to remember is that since Amazon always subtracts the cheapest item, stick with three products of similar price to maximize your savings. If you’re buying a bunch of things at various prices, it could be worth breaking your haul into separate groups of three (with similar-priced items in each) instead of one giant order.

The best 3 for 2 deals during Prime Day Best October Prime Day 3 for 2 deals Alien [4K UHD] $16.19 ($26.99) Get Deal Deadpool & Wolverine 4K + Blu-ray + Digital $25.99 Get Deal Oppenheimer - 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD] $21.30 Get Deal Abbey Road Anniversary Edition $22.98 Get Deal Rumours by Fleetwood Mac (Vinyl) $24.98 Get Deal The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Double vinyl $26.97 Get Deal The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About $15.68 Get Deal Project Hail Mary: A Novel $13.98 Get Deal The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness $16.98 Get Deal

This 3 for 2 offer, seeing us through the end of Prime Big Deal Days, covers thousands of items, so it’s a playground for bargain hunters who like movies, books, music, and plenty of other fun buys. Film fans, for instance, can grab Blu-Rays like Alien, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Oppenheimer — three stellar movies that are even better when you get one of them for free.

Music lovers can score classics like Abbey Road by The Beatles, Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill on vinyl.

For readers, the book selection is stacked as well: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (which is worth reading before the movie starring Ryan Gosling comes out next year), and The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt all qualify. Kids’ favorites like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Room on the Broom are also part of the mix.

Toys are in on the fun, too — with big-name brands like Lego, Hasbro, and Melissa & Doug appearing across the promotion page.

Running for a limited time during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, the 3 for 2 deal only applies to products sold directly by Amazon — so no third-party sellers — and it excludes digital content, too. As always, quantities are limited, so once a hot title sells out, it’s gone.

More DVDs & Blu-Rays in the 3 for 2 deal

Alternatively, check out the full selection of DVDs & Blu-rays in the offer.

More books in the 3 for 2 deal

You can find more book deals in the 3 for 2 offer at Amazon, too. 

More music in the 3 for 2 deal

Lots more CDs & vinyls in the 3 for 2 offer can be found on the deal’s category page.

For plenty of folks, vacuuming is a dreaded chore. For those people, a robot vacuum can be a lifesaver. For others, vacuuming is kind of enjoyable. If you cannot fathom getting enjoyment out of vacuuming, perhaps you haven't yet experienced the convenience of a cordless stick model. If that's the case, or if you simply need a new vacuum, check out this incredible deal.

As of Oct. 8, the Shark Pet Cordless vacuum is back in stock and on sale during Amazon Prime Day for $149, down from the list price of $299.99. That's a 50% discount that shaves a massive $150.99 off the price. It also happens to match the lowest price ever at Amazon.

The Shark Pet Cordless vacuum is one of Mashable readers' favorite Prime Day deals. It was so popular that we watched it sell out at Amazon. But we're all in luck because the deal is back for the last handful of hours during October Prime Day. Will it last? Who knows, so jump on it soon if you're interested.

SEE ALSO: I'm a pro vacuum tester, and all of my favorite robot vacuums are on sale for October Prime Day

Getting up to 40 minutes of runtime, the Shark Pet is the perfect model for those who deal with stubborn pet hair getting stuck to furniture. But it's also awesome if you have a home full of hardwood floors and no pets. Its LED headlight is a joy for noticing and then sucking up any dust, debris, or spills, and it comes with great attachments like a crevice tool.

The Shark Pet Cordless Vacuum weighs about seven pounds, so it's easy to maneuver around the house. The extra-large dust cup also adds convenience.

Before the stock disappears again, snag the Shark Pet Cordless Vacuum and perhaps shift vacuuming from chores you hate to chores you don't really mind. For the sale price of $149, it's worth trying.

No Other Choice trailer: Park Chan-wooks latest is a black comedy about capitalism and murder

Wed, 10/08/2025 - 22:35

Job hunts can be murder. Literally, in the case of Park Chan-wook's upcoming film, No Other Choice.

The heralded South Korean director of Oldboy, The Handmaiden, and Decision to Leave returns with a black comedy all about the perils of capitalism, and the lengths people will go to to survive in an uncaring system.

SEE ALSO: 2025 fall movie preview: Every upcoming film you ought to know about

Adapted from Donald E. Westlake's 1997 horror novel The Ax, No Other Choice stars Squid Game's Lee Byung-hun as Man-su. He's a happy family man with a steady job, but his whole world gets thrown into chaos when his employer abruptly lays him off. Man-su may have 25 years of job experience, but that doesn't mean much in a stagnating job market.

When a solid opportunity comes along, Man-su is desperate not to miss his shot at employment. His surefire plan to get the job? Take out all the other candidates. Permanently.

No Other Choice's trailer offers up morsels of Man-su's grisly murder methods, showcasing him wielding a gun, a chainsaw, and even a potted plant against the people who stand between him and a job.

No Other Choice has made the festival rounds this fall, positioning it as a potential awards contender. Following its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, it played at the Toronto International Film Festival, Busan Film Festival, and New York Film Festival. It garnered positive buzz and critical acclaim out of each, and even won the inaugural International People's Choice Award at TIFF. Could Park's film make a splash come awards season?

No Other Choice hits theaters Dec. 25.

October Prime Day: The Hisense Canvas art TV is significantly cheaper than The Frame in every size

Wed, 10/08/2025 - 22:15

SAVE UP TO $498: As of Oct. 8, every size of the Hisense Canvas art TV is on sale at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. The best discounts are 30% off the 55-inch Canvas and 28% off the 75-inch Canvas.

Opens in a new window Credit: Hisense 55-inch through 85-inch Hisense Canvas 4K QLED Art TV Starting at $695.99 (up to 30% off) Get Deal

Any time Samsung's The Frame goes on sale during a big internet sale event, it's automatically one of our favorite TV deals. But even with some sizes at 50% off for Prime Big Deal Days, I still wouldn't necessarily call The Frame budget-friendly. For everyone looking for an art TV that's even more affordable, Amazon also has the Hisense Canvas on sale.

Each 2025 Hisense Canvas TV is significantly cheaper than every respective Frame TV between 55 and 85 inches. The 30% off discount on the 55-inch Canvas and the 28% discount on the 75-inch Canvas are the best deals of the bunch. Here are the exact numbers for comparison's sake:

(The Canvas doesn't come in a 43-inch model, so The Frame wins by default there.)

Note that, depending on your location, certain models may show as "Temporarily out of stock" on Amazon, so if the one you want is available, it's worth jumping on it quickly.

Deputy shopping editor Miller Kern has a Hisense Canvas TV hanging in a gallery wall of actual framed art, and this thing is chic. "The CanvasTV has a matte finish that makes it look less like a TV and more like a giant picture frame. It's not totally glare-proof, but it does look really nice whether the TV is on or off. The TV itself looks stupid good in a gallery wall and really does blend in with other artwork and wall hangings, especially in art mode." As a QLED TV, the Hisense Canvas will do its best work while watching or displaying in daylight. If you're upgrading from a plain ol' LED TV, you'll notice the difference in brightness and color saturation immediately.

SEE ALSO: If dark scenes are too dark on your TV, play around with these settings

The option for a non-Samsung art TV is great news for people who don't vibe with Samsung's... unique smart TV interface. "I'm a big fan of the TV's Google interface and find it way more intuitive and responsive than Samsung's," Miller told me.

Each Hisense Canvas TV comes with an ultra-slim magnetic teak frame that you can click on or off, depending on how far you want to stray from the tech-y TV look. The included wall mount can be pushed in further than a typical TV mount, letting the TV lie flush with the wall for a more realistic framed art look.

The best Apple Watch deals for Prime Day include a massive bargain

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale may be starting to wind down, but the Apple Watch deals still up for grabs are well worth scooping up. Not only are older models marked down up to $170, but Amazon is also pricing starting models $10 lower than Apple.

Right now, you can grab the Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity for an impressive $170 off (putting it down to the same price as its non-cellular counterpart). That deal is still live now as part of Prime Big Deal Days and is joined by several Apple Watch deals that you're not going to want to miss.

More interested in the newer models? No problem — the Series 11 has a small $10 price cut. On a budget? The second-generation SE watches are both below $200. Plus, we finally spotted a deal on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Ultra 2 that you won't want to miss.

Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 denote an all-time low price.

Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS + cellular, 42mm) 🔥 $329 at Amazon
$499 Save $170 Get Deal Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

The Series 10 offers lightning-fast battery charging; fitness sensors like heart rate monitoring, temperature sensing, and depth gauges; and, in this model, cellular capability for the cost of the non-cellular models out there. The $170 price cut marks an all-time low for this watch, which earlier this week was priced at $429. Most times, we anticipate that the best deals will come during the actual days of the sale, but this is one of those cases where we'd be surprised if the price dips any lower, making it a great grab for an early deal.
