If chunky smartwatches aren’t your thing, the slim, lightweight style of the Vivosmart 4 can be yours for $41 off right now. Available in Midnight with a black band, this sleek fitness tracker boasts a battery life of up to seven days, and you can wear it in the shower or while swimming. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in features, with smart notifications, a wrist-based heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter sensor, and the ability to connect to your phone’s GPS for tracking your morning run or walk. You’ll also find a bunch of dedicated activity timers for specific activities like strength training or yoga.

Garmin Forerunner 35 — $104, was $170

Heavy on features, light on form, the slim, lightweight Garmin Forerunner 35 is ideal for runners. With $57 off the black version right now, it’s the perfect time to invest in a smartwatch that will up your running game this fall. There’s built-in GPS to track your runs, and you don’t need to pair this watch with your smartphone as it automatically uploads data to Garmin Connect, Garmin’s free online fitness community, where you can set goals and track your progress. It’s water-resistant and offers all-day activity tracking, counting steps and calories and monitoring your heart rate — as well as providing music controls so you’ll always have the perfect soundtrack to your run. The Forerunner is great for cyclists, too, as it can connect to ANT+ cadence sensors and heart rate monitoring chest straps.

Garmin Instinct — $150, was $300

For outdoors enthusiasts we’ve got a great deal on the already affordable Garmin Instinct, with $71 off the Graphite version right now. This rugged watch is aimed at hikers, walkers, and runners, with support for GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo to keep you on the right track, as well as a built-in 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter. The 45mm watch casing and soft silicone band are comfortable to wear, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters. We love the Trackback feature, that makes it easy to navigate the same route back to where you started, along with the fact it offers superior battery life of up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, up to 16 hours in GPS mode, and up to 40 hours in UltraTrack battery saver mode. This is one of the best deals you’re going to find on an outdoor watch before Prime Day, so don’t miss out.

Garmin Vivoactive 4 — $300, was $350

The 45mm Garmin Vivoactive 4 has always been one of our favorite fitness smartwatches, and with $54 off right now, there’s no better time to buy one. It comes with 20 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, and it tracks your energy levels, menstrual cycle, stress, respiration, hydration, sleep, heart rate, and Pulse Ox. You can enjoy your own workout soundtrack by downloading playlists from Deezer, Amazon Music, or Spotify, so you’ll always be motivated for your morning run or yoga session, and there are handy safety and tracking features, including incident detection and assistance which, when paired with a compatible device, sends your location to friends or family, keeping you safe while you get fit. We love the animated workouts that help you ensure your technique is right, from yoga and Pilates to cardio. You won’t find yourself constantly charging this watch either, as it offers up to eight days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to six hours in GPS and music mode.

Best Prime Day Deals

Update 10/2/24: We've been monitoring the early Prime Big Deal Days offers for about a week now, and we haven't seen much movement.

But we're still a week away from the event, so we'll keep monitoring things.

The October 8 and October 9 Prime Day deals may still be a bit away, but we're already seeing a lot of excellent TV deals that are worth picking up. In fact, we're seeing both early Prime Day QLED TV deals and Prime Day OLED TV deals, so there is a huge amount of options out there if don't really want to wait until Prime Day officially kicks off.

Update 10/2/24: Prime Big Deal days are still a ways off, but there are still deals going on.

Amazon is giving out some of our favorites at discounts exceeding 50%, which we've highlighted as "Noteworthy" below. Soundbar deals are heating up early.

You know the deal. First you buy a Prime Big Deal Days TV deal, then you realize that you want to boost your sound again as well.

It's early in the season, as Prime Big Deal Days deals won't officially be here until October 8th and 9th, so we're looking everywhere to get you the best savings possible. From Amazon to competing Best Buy Prime Big Deal Days deals, these are the soundbar deals to have your eyes on.

Update 10/2/24: As we've been monitoring the TCL deals this week, we haven't seen much movement. Deals that were around at the start of the week are still there, across Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. New ones will definitely pop up as we get closer to October 8 and 9, so check back.

October Big Deal Days are approaching, meaning great deals from Amazon (who is the originator of the event) and other retailers trying to get a slice of the pie. While the best Big Deal Days deals are varied, covering everything from computers to furniture, we're also finding plenty of good deals in niche categories to cover them by themselves. For example, we found enough to create an entire listing of Best Buy Big Deal Days TV deals in case you want to take advantage of your membership there, while we were also able to create an entire curated selection of Dell Big Deal Days deals if you like the brand. Here, we're giving TCL the same treatment. The following are quality deals on products from the already budget TV brand.
