You can also get last year’s flagship Apple Watch for a hefty discount today. A new one’s likely right around the corner, but this one still has top-notch fitness tracking and notification management, and it should receive updates for the next several years.

If you want an Apple Watch with a larger display, longer battery life, and better waterproofing, the top-of-the-line Apple Watch is on sale right now, too.

Strategist associate editor Jeremy Rellosa recommends this tracker for those who like to log a variety of activities — this one can monitor 25 different types of workouts.

If having an Android phone has given you Apple Watch FOMO, Google’s latest Pixel Watch gets pretty close to the same polished experience. It has all-day battery life, a gorgeous circular display (that I prefer to the Apple Watch’s rectangular screen), and all the fitness-tracking capabilities you’d expect out of a smartwatch.

While smartwatches are better at robust fitness tracking, smart rings are more discreet and can give you a basic idea of how you’re doing. The Oura 4 can monitor your sleep, heart rate, and ovulation cycle, and it comes in five sleek finishes to match your style.

Samsung’s smart ring is just as good as the Oura, and it has better integration with Galaxy devices.

I bought a couple of these (mine are the 1 TB version) when my base model MacBook Air’s 256 GB of storage ran out, and they’ve been indispensable in my life since. I have one to archive all my songs, movies, audiobooks, and e-books, plus a couple to back up all the photos I take on my phone and camera.

Give your wrists a break and get yourself an ergonomic keyboard. This one is split into a left and right side to allow your hands to rest in a more natural position than most keyboards allow.

Even if the privacy-friendly camera cover isn’t enticing, this webcam looks better than most and comes in a few colors.

Free up some space on your power strip. This foldable charging station has a spot for an iPhone (or Qi 2-compatible Android device), plus an Apple Watch and AirPods case.

Or if you prefer a more portable fold-up design, this one’s on sale too.

This stand can also charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, but it’s a lot nicer looking than more portable options. Oh, and it works with Apple’s StandBy mode to turn your phone into a digital clock or picture frame while it’s charging.

With this attached to your laptop, you’ll never run out of ports.

Logitech’s ultralightweight mouse comes in a bunch of vibrant colors, has Bluetooth pairing, and can last up to 24 hours before needing new batteries.

Logitech has made several of my favorite mouses. They’re so comfortable that they’ve been my daily driver for over two years.

Ergonomic mice can often be pricey, but this one from Anker is quite cheap and will keep your hand comfy while you’re working. But it doesn’t have USB-C, so you’ll need a computer with a USB-A port or an adapter.

Stop moving around the room just to be close to an outlet and get yourself a long cable or two while they’re on sale.

Hopefully you’ll never need to rely on a dash cam, but having one can give you some peace of mind next time you hit the road.

These earbuds sound better and have more efficient noise-cancellation than the Powerbeats, and right now they’re way cheaper.

If you have a Samsung phone, these earbuds are about as close as you can get to the AirPods experience (they even look like the AirPods Pro).

Our pick for best portable Bluetooth speaker is easy to set up and makes it easy to take your favorite tunes with you wherever you go.

Our best less expensive Bluetooth speaker is even less expensive right now.

You can also get this speaker from UE at a big discount. It has an elastic strap on the back that makes it great for attaching to a shower head or the handlebars of your bike.

These speakers are meant to be connected to an analog source like a turntable, but thanks to the included Bluetooth capabilities, you can stream your favorite Spotify playlist, too.

JBL makes several of my favorite Bluetooth speakers. This is an older version of the company’s smallest speaker, which is compact enough to stuff in a fanny pack. But it still sounds great for bumping tunes at your desk or in the shower (and it’s IP67 waterproof).

If you want a speaker with some more oomph, this one from Bose is loud, has a sleek look, and a nifty handle that you can use to lug it around from room to room.

I’ve tested a lot of Bluetooth speakers, and this one from Bang and Olufsen is one of the best-looking you can get. It’s loud enough to fill a room while sounding great.

Brane’s flagship speaker is bassier than any other speaker I’ve tested — even larger ones. It also works with Spotify Connect, so you and all your friends can cast music to it without any pairing.

This is one of my favorite speakers thanks to its classic look — it’s modeled after an old-school JBL bookshelf speaker — and clear, vibrant audio that’s loud enough to keep a party going. Unlike many other Bluetooth speakers, this one works with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control your tunes totally hands-free.

Or if you prefer a more vibrant speaker, this one has LED lights that sync to your music.

You won’t find a cheaper speaker that sounds this good.

Right now, you can save some money on Apple’s flagship noise-canceling headphones.

Read more: The Best Noise Canceling Headphones

The Beats Studio Pros are some of the most stylish wireless headphones you can get, and right now they’re down to nearly their lowest price ever.

Read more: The Best Noise-Canceling Headphones

These Beats headphones don’t have the same level of noise cancellation as the Pros, but they look just as good.

Sonos’ Ace headphones can compete with those from Bose, Sony, and Apple for their sound quality and noise-canceling ability, says Strategist senior writer Michael Zhao. Plus, their lighter, more flexible headband makes them more comfortable for longer wear.

I’ve been testing the latest version of these noise-canceling headphones — the WH-1000XM6 — and while they’re excellent, the predecessor is still worth grabbing, especially at a discount. They’re comfy, have noise-canceling that rivals our best overall pick, and they’re comfy enough to wear for hours at a time.

Our pick for the best less expensive noise-canceling headphones are another stylish option, and they’re significantly cheaper than the Beats Studio Pros (though they don’t sound quite as good).

Read more: The Best Noise Canceling Headphones

If you’re okay with audio that’s a bit tinnier and flatter than pricier headphones, our best even-less-expensive pick for noise canceling headphones sound pretty good for the price.

Google’s newest streaming device earned its spot at the top of our list thanks to its sleek interface, third-party apps, and unique ability to control your smart home gear right from the home screen.

Right now, you can save some money on the only TV Strategist senior writer Michael Zhao says he’d buy.

Read more: The Only TV I’d Ever Buy

Zhao is working on a new guide to mini-projectors, and the XGIMI Halo+ GTV is going to be the best overall pick. It’s bright enough to work indoors during the day (as long as the shades are drawn) and has a processor suitable for streaming sports, but it’s also louder than the MoGo 4.

Zhao says this sleek projector came in at a close second to the one above. Its quick autofocus will let you reposition it without having to fuss around too much. Its slow processor means it’s not the best option for streaming sports, however, and because it has a relatively low lumen count, you’ll probably need blackout curtains to use it during the day.

If you’d rather watch your movies from the yard than from your couch, this projector is water-resistant and bright enough to see before the sun’s fully set. It’s going to be the pick for best mini projector for outdoor use.

Like the Sonos Move, this soundbar can pair with other Sonos gear to create a unique speaker setup for your home. And it’ll sound way better than your TV’s speakers.

Right now, you can get a solid discount on Amazon’s all-in-one streaming device and soundbar.

Amazon’s streaming stick doesn’t have a headphone jack, but it’s cheaper than the Roku and has better integration with Amazon’s ecosystem.

Roku’s top-of-the-line streaming device has everything you need to binge your favorite shows, plus a headphone jack on the remote so you won’t wake everyone else up if you’re a nighttime viewer.

With this tiny puck, you can turn any old pair of bookshelf speakers into a Sonos-like setup. It even works with Spotify, Tidal, and some more obscure music services like Roon and Qobuz.

Get Apple’s smallest iPad if you want a bigger screen for browsing the web and reading e-books, but don’t want a full-sized tablet. It even works with the Apple Pencil.

For a little extra, you can get the ads removed from your Kindle (it usually costs an additional $20) plus a fabric cover and a wireless charging dock.

The smaller, more travel-friendly standard Kindle is also on sale. You’ll lose out on the waterproofing and adjustable display warmth of the Paperwhite, but your books will look just as good on this one.

The biggest Kindle — which has stylus support for taking notes and writing in your e-books — is down to its lowest price ever.

Whenever you want to play your favorite mobile game — Stardew Valley and Balatro both work great — just drop your phone into this handy controller and it’ll feel just like gaming on a Switch.

Elgato’s Stream Deck is widely used in the Twitch community, but it’s just as handy for day-to-day use like triggering Apple Shortcuts, opening your most-used programs, or just launching your favorite Spotify playlist.

The Switch 2 is out now, so it’s a good time to stock up on the storage you’ll need for your games.

If you’re looking to get into streaming, get yourself the go-to mic for beginners.

Elgato’s budget-friendly condenser mic is down to its lowest price ever.

And a key light the pros recommend.

The G Pro X is a lightweight, hyper-sensitive mouse with the precision necessary for gaming. Do note, though, that it lacks Bluetooth pairing, so be sure your computer has a USB-A port.

This mouse isn’t as light as the G Pro X, but it has 11 programmable buttons for a more custom experience.

If you prefer a more classic gamer aesthetic, this mouse is down to its lowest price ever.

If you have a family’s worth of appointments and events to keep track of, Skylight’s large-screened digital calendar is a handy way to show everyone’s goings-on in one place.

This dog camera won’t give you insights into your dog’s sleep or fetch performance, but it’ll let you keep an eye on them when you’re away, and give them treats and speak to them from afar.

Unlike other LED light strips that we recommend, this one doesn’t require a hub to connect to your network.

Robot vacuums are often pricey, but Prime Day usually brings about a fair amount of deals in the category. This one from Eufy has mopping capabilities in addition to standard vacuuming, and it automatically cleans its own mopping pads so you barely have to lift a finger for spotless floors.

After I tested this vacuum — which is going to be a pick in my next update to our robot vacuums guide — for a couple weeks, it’s quickly become one of my favorites for cleaning up my floors. Its vacuum isn’t obnoxiously loud, the mopping pads keep my floors squeaky clean, and it cleans itself.

Our pick for the best air purifier overall is sleek, quiet, and affordable. And according to Strategist senior writer Michael Zhao, its filters last up to a year, so the savings won’t stop after Prime Day.
