Prime Big Deal Days is on its second (and final) day, offering discounts on tech gadgets exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on smartwatches, televisions, Amazon devices and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a freelance writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day tech deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
