SAVE OVER $79.01: As of Oct. 8, the Apple Watch SE is on sale for $169.99 at Amazon. That's a saving of 32% on the list price of $249.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Watch SE $169.99 at AmazonThe Apple smartwatch is one of the must-have gadgets of the past decade; it makes most other wearables seem rather pointless in comparison. And of all the models available in 2024, the Apple Watch SE is the budget pick of the bunch. The problem? Even Apple's "budget" smartwatch normally costs $249. The Apple Watch is an expensive gadget, which is why October Prime Day is a great chance to add one to your cart and your wrist.
The Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation is currently available for the discounted price of $169.99 — a major discount of 32% from the standard list price. In total, you’ll save $79.01. This discount is part of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, which runs over Oct. 8 and 9 and includes plenty more bargains on new (and old) Apple products. We seriously recommend taking advantage.
SEE ALSO: October Prime Day has landed — check out the best Apple deals you can snagThe Apple Watch SE is the pared-down version, but it’s still packed with smart features. It has an eye-popping retina display with heart and sleep tracking functions as well as a heart rate monitor and support for all your favorite apps. You can also take calls, listen to music, and speak with Siri.
This watch is usually priced at $249, so it’s worth grabbing while October Prime Day is still in full flow. The popularity of the Apple Watch speaks for itself. It’s not just a smart device but a lifestyle choice — and a stylish one at that.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) $124.99 at AmazonFall and winter are the perfect seasons for catching up on your reading list. Instead of taking up room on crammed bookshelves, dive into digital Kindle books. Not only are they more travel-friendly, they often cost less than physical books, and you can easily check out digital titles from your local library. If you don't already own a Kindle, check out this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale.
As of Oct. 8, the Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) is on sale for $124.99, down from the normal price of $149.99. That's a 17% discount or a savings of $25, which gives you some funds to start your Kindle book collection right away.
On the Mashable list of favorite Kindle devices, the Kindle Paperwhite earns the top spot as the best Kindle for reading outside. That means if you enjoy crisp falls afternoons in the park with a good book, this could be the right Kindle for you. Plus, the Kindle deals during July's Prime Day were a disappointment, making this sale price that much more exciting to see.
The Kindle Paperwhite aims to give an experience as close to reading a physical book as possible. Thanks to Amazon's signature 300 ppi, glare-free Paperwhite display, you'll be able to enjoy a display that's 10% brighter than previous versions. You can also adjust the shade of the display from a white light to a warmer amber color.
The Kindle Paperwhite can get up to 10 weeks of battery life and recharges with a USB-C connection.
Not only is a lightweight e-reader, it's also waterproof so you're safe when reading poolside next summer or taking it on your next camping trip.
If you fall and winter plans include reading some great books, the October Prime Day sale is proving to be a great time to upgrade to the Kindle Paperwhite. Score the device today for just $124.99 or give the gift of the year this holiday season to a loved one.

Just last week, it was on sale for $115, but a week ahead of Prime Day, it's now down to $108.46 when you use the on-page coupon. That's still about $10 shy of its most recent Prime Day price, so it might drop further. Regardless, it's still a great deal for the 6.3-quart stainless steel stand mixer with a 400-watt motor and six mixing speeds.

Timeless beverage as it may be, espresso is having an especially good year. For starters, Sabrina Carpenter made it the song of the summer. Now, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days are making espresso machines one of the sale's must-get deals.
SEE ALSO: October Prime Day is just one day away — here are all the best deals to shop so farIt makes sense — the weather is finally cooling down, and the days are getting shorter. Hot espresso and the access to a latte whenever you want it are perhaps most essential at this time of year. Plus, if you like getting your holiday shopping done early, grabbing an espresso machine on sale can save you a couple hundred bucks.
Case in point — most of Breville's espresso machine line is on sale, from the Duo Temp Pro at just $299.95 to the fancier Barista Touch, also on sale for $200 off. If you're more into popping in a pod, Nespressos are also on sale, as well as picks from De'Longhi and Mr. Coffee. Whether you're looking for a high-end machine that can make any espresso drinks with the touch of a button, or something simple that can reliably pull an espresso shot, we've got you covered.
SEE ALSO: Instant Pot deals aren't great, but there are a few worth checking out ahead of Prime DayFind all our picks for the best espresso machine deals below, and if you don't see one you like, make sure to check back during Prime Big Deal Days — we'll be updating this list as new deals appear.
Best espresso machine deal Opens in a new window Credit: Breville Breville Duo Temp Pro $299.95 at AmazonEspresso machines can easily run you near $1,000, and though Breville is known for their pricier machines, this Duo Temp Pro deal sits squarely in the middle of the budget range for most consumer espresso machines. You'll get the low-pressure pre-infusion designed to help you achieve even extraction, a milk frother, and a machine that heats up quickly. If you're not a huge coffee drinker or prefer to be as minimal effort as possible, one of the under $200 options or a Nespresso might work better for you. However, if you're looking to level up your espresso game but don't want to pay $500-plus, then the Duo Temp Pro is a solid pick.
According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, this machine has dropped lower in price only one time before for a record low of $279.99.

SAVE $250: For Prime Big Deal Days, the M3 Apple Macbook Air (2024) is on sale for $849 at Amazon, a discount of 23% and a return to its record-low price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple M3 Macbook Air (2024) $849.00 at AmazonIf you’re on the hunt for a new laptop this October Prime Day, look no further than the 2024 version of the Apple Macbook Air. It’s the latest, most souped-up edition — built with Apple’s all-powerful M3 chip — and it’s available at an incredible discount as part of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, which runs for 48 hours across Oct. 8 and 9.
Indeed, the M3 MacBook Air has been knocked down to just $849 as of this writing — a huge 23% discount from the usual list price. That’s an overall saving of $250, which matches the discount on the slightly older M2 MacBook Air.
Mashable recently named the 15-inch version of this M3 Air one of the best laptops of the year, but the 13-inch model is just as good and even more portable.
SEE ALSO: Target Circle Week is back...just in time for October Prime DayThis laptop has all the basic brilliance you’d expect from an Apple MacBook Air, including a 13.6-inch liquid retina display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of Storage, a backlit keyboard, Touch ID, and up to 18 hours of battery. It also has a lighter build of just 2.7 pounds for easier on-the-go usage. What makes it truly special is the M3 processor, which is faster, slicker, and more powerful than previous-gen models.
Upgrade to the M3 MacBook Air (2024) this October Prime Day. While we've seen this ultrabook hit this $849 price tag once before, this is the lowest price we've seen yet.
Lastly, be sure to also check out our live blog with all of the latest Prime Day savings, including more deals on brand-new Apple gadgets. (Yes, the new AirPods are on sale, too.)
UPDATE: Oct. 8, 2024, 6:35 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest Samsung Galaxy deals from the October Prime Day event.
The best October Prime Day Samsung Galaxy deals at a glance: BEST GALAXY BOOK DEAL Samsung 14-inch Galaxy Book4 Pro (Intel Core 7 Ultra, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,149.99 at Amazon (save $300) Get Deal BEST GALAXY BUDS DEAL Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 $159.99 at Amazon (save $20) Get Deal BEST GALAXY PHONE DEAL Samsung Galaxy A35 (Unlocked, 128GB) $313.99 at Amazon (save $86) Get Deal BEST GALAXY TAB DEAL Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (64GB, WiFi) $179.99 at Amazon (save $40) Get Deal BEST GALAXY WATCH DEAL Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (Bluetooth, 40mm) $195.30 at Amazon (save $104.69) Get DealThe second Prime Day event of the year, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, is around the corner. It officially kicks off Oct. 8, but in the typical Amazon fashion, there are already plenty of deals to shop — especially on Samsung Galaxy products.
It's no surprise, really, as Samsung is one of the brands we usually see major discounts on during big shopping events. July's Prime Day aligned with Galaxy Unpacked, which made the perfect recipe for heavily discounted Samsung products. This time around, we're hoping some of those new product launches from July will get the Prime Day treatment — particularly the near-perfect Galaxy Ring. We'll also be keeping our eyes peeled for new lows on the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6.
We're tracking the best Samsung Galaxy deals below ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, which includes the Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Book, Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch, and of course, Galaxy phones. As the official savings event nears, we'll be updating the list with the latest and greatest deals — so stay tuned.

The 14-inch base model has 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and an 18-hour battery life and typically retails for $1,449.99. Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, however, you can slash $300 off and pick it up for $1,149.99. That's 21% in savings and matches its lowest price to date.

It's not huge, but it's still worth highlighting: ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, you can snag a pair for $159.99 instead of the usual $179.99. What's new about these buds? They can analyze internal and external sounds to enhance audio and noise cancellation in real time, they have a Voice Command feature that lets you control them without actually touching them or your phone, and a new real-time Interpreter feature powered by Galaxy AI. It's worth noting, however, that early adopters of these earbuds aren't exactly thrilled with how they fit.

Samsung's Galaxy A35 is a "strong buy for the price," as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) said in their review. The budget-friendly Galaxy phone was released as a more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S24. As a budget phone, it doesn't offer the same speed and performance as the S24, but it also doesn't cost over $1,000. It packs a gorgeous 6.6-inch display, Samsung's Exynos 1380 processor, a 50MP wide-angle camera with optical image stabilization, and a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery that supports fast-charging. It's not the most impressive phone on the market, but on sale for just $313.99, it's a pretty hard deal to beat. That's 22% off.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ may not be as fancy as the brand's S9 lineup, but not everyone is looking for a tablet that practically doubles as a computer. If you just want something reliable that can handle the basics without breaking the bank, check out the A9+. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) called it the "best low-cost Android tablet you can buy," noting that it "succeeds at everything a low-cost tablet should." It sports an 11-inch screen, quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, and expandable storage up to 1TB. The base model is already pretty affordable at its full price of $219.99. But ahead of Prime Day 2, you can grab it for only $179.99. That's 18% off.

Since it's no longer the latest and greatest smartwatch in the Samsung Galaxy lineup (that would be the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra), we've been seeing some pretty sweet deals on the Galaxy Watch 6. Ahead of the October Prime Day event, you can pick up the 40mm version with Bluetooth for only $195.30, which is 35% in savings and a new record-low (by about $1). The sixth installment of the Galaxy Watch was named the "king of the Android smartwatch mountain" by Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry when it launched last year. It features improved sleep and fitness features over its predecessor, including a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, and irregular heart rate notifications. It also lasts longer on a single charge and has a 20 percent larger display than previous models.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t officially kick off until Oct. 8, but we’ve been seeing deals on everything from pet tech to smart home gadgets for at least three weeks. And it looks like the deals just keep coming — right now, you can find tons of drone models for $200+ off at Amazon.
You don’t have to be a tech nerd or hobbyist to appreciate a good drone deal. These little machines aren’t just fun to fly; they can be used for everything from aerial photography to inspecting hard-to-reach areas to monitoring crop health.
Whether you’re shopping for your first drone, looking to upgrade your current setup, or trying to find a holiday gift that doesn’t suck, you'll want to check out these Prime Day drone deals.
Here are our top picks:
Best drone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Holy Stone Holy Stone GPS drone HS175D RC Quadcopter $169.99 at AmazonIf you’re really into drones, the name Holy Stone should be on your radar. This brand is known for making high-end drones that are feature-packed and, at times, super affordable.
The Holy Stone GPS drone HS175D RC Quadcopter is currently $159.99 at Amazon, which is 25% off the listing price. It’s a solid mid-range drone option that shoots 4K videos, has a 46-minute flight time, and a special flight mode where you can direct its movement — whether you want it to follow you or fly along a specific path.
Best runner-up drone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Potensic Potensic Atom SE GPS Drone $229.99 at AmazonThe Potensic Atom SE GPS Drone is $229.99 at Amazon right now — that’s a $70 discount and its record-low price.
This budget-friendly drone is lightweight (less than 249g) and features level-5 wind resistance. It’s so small that you can fold it up and pop it into your jacket pocket. The 4K EIS camera (with Sony CMOS sensor) can capture 12mp stills and 30fps HD video. Plus, the ShakeVanish technology makes for a smooth shot even when there’s a lot of movement.
The Potensic Atom SE has four flight modes, including a beginner mode that adjusts the drone’s speed and stability for newbies. It can last for up to 62 minutes on a single charge and has an auto-fly back function in case you lose sight of it (or if it loses signal or is about to run out of juice).
Best budget pick Opens in a new window Credit: Holy Stone Holy Stone Mini Drone $29.60 at AmazonIf you’re a beginner or shopping for a kid, the Holy Stone Mini Drone is 20% off (with an on-screen coupon) and priced at just $26.90.

UPDATE: Oct. 8, 2024, 6:04 p.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest pricing and availability on Instant Pot deals on Prime Big Deal Days.
October Prime Day deals on Instant Pot Best classic Instant Pot deal Instant Pot RIO (7.5-quart) $119 at Amazon (Save $10.99) Get Deal Best mini Instant Pot deal Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Mini (3-quart) $69.99 at Amazon (save $10) Get DealPrime Big Deal Days is just a few days away, with the official start date landing on Tuesday, Oct. 8, but the deals have already started. In addition to spotting plenty of kitchen deals already, we've seen some nice discounts on Instant Pots.
SEE ALSO: These are the best early October Prime Day deals that cost under $50Though Instant Pot had its viral moment thanks to multi-cookers that combined the capabilities of air frying, pressure cooking, and slow cooking, the brand offers a wide variety of appliance options, from toaster ovens to coffee makers. Below, we've gathered the best Instant kitchen deals available ahead of October Prime Day spanning across the brand's catalogue of products.
Best Instant Pot deal Opens in a new window Credit: Instant Instant Pot RIO (7.5-quart) $119.00 at AmazonIn these final days before Prime Big Deal Days, the Instant Pot deals aren't all that thrilling. However, it's nice to see the Instant Pot RIO on sale, as it is one of the newer additions to the Instant Pot multi-cooker family. This wide model allows for more area for searing meat — overcrowding is the enemy of browning (and therefore, flavor), so giving users the ease of cooking while minimizing the need to cook in batches. While it doesn't have an air frying function like the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, it also costs a bit less (at the time of writing, the six-quart Duo Crisp is $150 on sale). Instant also added a cooking progress display to the RIO, allowing the more impatient among us to check the progress of their dinner with ease.

If you're in the market for a PlayStation 5, now is a perfect time to strike, as some of the best deals on the PS5 Slim are rolling in ahead of Amazon Prime Day. Both versions of Sony's latest, more compact console are currently discounted by $50.

Whether you're looking for a streamlined digital experience or want the flexibility of physical games and media, this deal is tough to beat.
One noteworthy deal to keep an eye on this week is Walmart’s preorders for the PlayStation 5 (Slim) Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle. As part of Walmart’s Holiday Deals event — its counterprogramming to Amazon's Prime Day — the preorders will open on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 10 a.m. ET, with early access for paid Walmart+ members. This bundle, which sold out quickly on PlayStation Direct last month, is expected to be in high demand once again. If you're looking to score this limited edition PS5 Slim, you’ll want to act fast.

Plus, with the rise of digital game sales and subscription services like PlayStation Plus, you won’t miss physical discs. It also offers the same 1TB of storage and cutting-edge performance as its disc counterpart, so you’re not sacrificing power or features for the savings.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

UPDATE: Oct. 8, 2024, 6:45 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest Amazon book deals on Prime Big Deal Days.
The best Prime Day book deals at a glance: Best book deal overall 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear $9.33 at Amazon (save $17.67 with on-page coupon) Get Deal Best book bundle deal Dr. Seuss’s Beginner Book Boxed Set Collection $26.47 at Amazon (save $23.48) Get Deal Best Kindle deal 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals' by Oliver Burkeman $2.99 at Amazon (save $17) Get DealPrime Day is here yet again — the bi-annual shopping event (this time known as Prime Big Deal Days) is coming up on Oct. 8 and 9, and Amazon’s already offering discounts on countless products across all categories. One category you might not expect to see a lot of deals on is books, but that's exactly what we're seeing on Amazon's website right now. (Amazon did start as an online bookstore, so it kind of makes sense.)
We’ve found tons of book titles from a wide variety of genres that are currently on sale, from bestselling novels to nonfiction and children's books. Kindle and e-book editions are up to 80% off their typical list prices, while hardcover and paperback books are seeing discounts of up to 50% off. And this is before the official start of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.
Here are some of the best book deals that captured our attention so far. Stay tuned as the official October Prime Day event kicks off — we'll be updating this list with more deals that drop.
Best book deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Avery 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear $9.33 at AmazonIf you’re not into self-help books, James Clear’s Atomic Habits might not be on your radar. But this is one of the best nonfiction titles to come out within the past few years, and it's currently 65% off in hardcover — thanks to a new on-page coupon.
This book is all about teaching yourself to build good habits, break bad ones, and generally become more focused, productive, and successful in your daily life. And at less than $10 for the hardcover, it’s a steal.
Best book bundle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Random House Books for Young Readers Dr. Seuss’s Beginner Book Boxed Set Collection: 'The Cat in the Hat'; 'One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish'; 'Green Eggs and Ham'; 'Hop on Pop'; 'Fox in Socks' $26.47 at AmazonWhether you have kids or you’re an adult who’s looking to add another classic book series to your collection, the Dr. Seuss’s Beginner Book Boxed Set Collection: The Cat in the Hat; One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish; Green Eggs and Ham; Hop on Pop; Fox in Socks is on sale for just $26.47.
That’s five iconic Dr. Seuss books for less than $30, which is an awesome deal considering each of these books typically sells for around $9 to $12 individually.
This book set is the perfect gift for new parents, birthdays, holidays, or just to add to the family home library.
Best Kindle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Farrar, Straus and Giroux 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals' by Oliver Burkeman $2.99 at AmazonIf you’ve ever mumbled that 24 hours just wasn’t enough time in a day, Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals — currently 84% off the Kindle edition price — might be just the book for you.
This book has a ton of “life hacks” that can help you prioritize your time and figure out what's really worth doing — it's kind of an anti-productivity productivity book. If you're overwhelmed by the constant demands on your time and attention, this e-book promises to help you take back control and get more done.
You can get it for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, or pay just $2.99 to own it outright.
