Amazon October Prime Day 2024 is officially here from Oct. 8 through Oct. 9, so there's no better time than the present to snag the best Amazon tech deals (along with some unbeatable Prime Day fashion deals and some Amazon deals we know will sell out) at the mega-retailer. Take it from me—I've been vetting deals on a boatload of items, including must-have fitness finds like the Oura ring (was $349, now $299) our editors love and the latest version of the Apple AirPods Pro (was $250, now $169).

There's also a vast selection of Amazon devices on sale like this Kindle Scribe bundle (was $440, now $300) and splurge-worthy items like the Samsung Frame TV (was $1,645, now $998). So, if you don't want to risk them selling out, I suggest hopping on these Amazon Big Deal Days deals, ASAP. If you're not a Prime member, sign up for the free 30-day trial to guarantee your access to all the tech sales below.

The AirPods Pro are great for hot girl walks, high-intensity workouts, listening to your favorite podcast on your commute and more. Not only do they have a rechargeable case, but this newly-released version also features the ability to conduct a scientifically validated hearing test, per the brand and has a clinical-grade hearing aid feature that can be switched on and off. What else is new with this model? The audio's been given a serious upgrade for an immersive listening experience and sound quality for calls has been improved, too.

Almost anyone with an Apple AirTag will tell you it's a major save for those times when you can't find your keys, luggage or even pets. All you have to do is stick one of the compact trackers in or on whatever you want to keep track of (such as linking it onto Fido's collar), and Bluetooth technology will help lead you to it in the Find My app (available on iPhones). This will give you peace of mind when it comes to traveling and sending your kids to school, as it has done for many buyers. They make a great gift, too, so perhaps you can snag a pack for some of the more forgetful people on your list—trust me, they'll appreciate it.

Don't hesitate to save big on the Apple Watch SE that can do everything from track your daily activity and heart rate to answer texts while you're out. It's water-resistant up to 50 meters, too, so you can even wear it for swim workouts and reviewers love that they can easily get notifications without constantly having their phone on them.

PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey reviewed the Oura ring and found that she adores the barely-there feel of this viral fitness and health tracker. She calls out the heart rate monitoring, sleep insights and guided meditations as some of the top benefits of the ring, and Associate Sales and Deals Editor, Destinee Scott, mentioned she especially looks forward to the quarterly reports she gets from the ring sharing more in-depth insights.

According to the thousands of Amazon shoppers who have given this slim portable battery 5-star reviews, it's easy to use and perfect for traveling thanks to its compact size.. One reviewer wrote, "We recently purchased the Anker Power Bank, and it's been our go-to charger on vacations and trips...The power bank's performance is impressive, as it charges well and is extremely useful maintaining a solid charge for many devices throughout the day," so you're sure to get plenty of use from it.

In case you didn't know, the Kindle Scribe is the perfect device that you can use before, during and after work, and this special discounted bundle comes with a leather folio cover, power adapter and basic pen. PureWow Associate Editor Sydney Meister recently raved that it transformed her workflow upon testing it a little over a month ago. "Originally, I was under the impression that ‘Kindle’ was limited to eBook reader—but boy, was I wrong. This thing allows me to do so much more than read, whether it’s taking notes, making organized lists or annotating PDFs for a story I’m working on." Looks like I'll be adding the Scribe to my cart as well (Psst: You can snag it without the bundle here).

These sweat-resistant earbuds from Beats are practically a must at this price. They're designed to stay in place with the adjustable and lightweight earhooks, and buyers say they can wear them for hours without any issues. Take it from this reviewer who wrote, "The sound quality and comfort cannot be beat. I usually have ear pain after wearing in ear headphones for hours, but these are so comfortable I can wear them all day without a problem. They automatically connect to my phone when I remove them from the very convenient charging case, and if I take it out of my ear it automatically pauses whatever was playing." Sounds like these earbuds have it all.

If you've ever been on-the-go and found yourself wishing you had your favorite playlist along with you, don't wait to pick up this portable speaker that you can easily clip onto your favorite belt bag or backpack. It has up to 10 hours of playtime on just one charge, according to the brand, and it comes in a slew of bright colors. 

Whether you're refreshing a dorm room or kids' room, these color-changing strip lights will brighten up any space for a steal during the sale. They come in lengths of 50, 100 and 130 feet, and they've racked up more than 20,000 5-star ratings from Amazon buyers for their easy setup and the reliable app control, so you know they're totally worth the buy.

Active noise reduction, up to 50 hours of playtime, a comfortable ergonomic shape *and* on sale for less than $50? What's not to love about these Soundcore by Anker earbuds? Per buyers, they have a crisp sound quality and are easy to pair with your devices, too. At a price this good, it's worth picking up a pair for yourself and as a gift for your sister who's been needing a new pair.

If you have tons of photos you've been meaning to print out forever, you're gonna want to take advantage of the markdown on this instant photo printer that comes with 90 sheets to get you started, and you can pick up more here when you need them. This would totally make a great gift for any scrapbooker in your life, too, and can even make getting out those yearly holiday cards a breeze.

Upgrade your cozy season setup with this mini projector so you can screen your favorite movies curled up in the coziest blankets for an outdoor, at-home drive-in under the stars. It comes with a projector screen and works via Bluetooth so you can easily connect it to any streaming service you use on your phone or laptop.

These featherweight open-ear headphones are just the thing you need to stay aware on your daily runs while still listening to your go-to playlist. This buyer raves over them for wearing at the gym, too, sharing, "They're perfect. The sound clarity is excellent, but they don't completely block out all external sounds. And even though they don't cover your ears, external noise isn't as distracting as you might think."

This portable tablet come to the rescue with its durable design, fast processor and unlimited apps. First of all, it's sturdily made, so you won't have to worry if a rowdy toddler happens to drop it. Secondly, buyers rave that it packs a big punch for such a small device, weighing at only 1.32 pounds. Worried it'll die on you in the middle of a road trip? Don't even sweat it—a single charge gives you up to seven hours of playtime, per the brand. Plus, there are 64 gigabytes of storage space available at your disposal.

Almost anyone with an Amazon Fire TV Stick will tell you it's a game-changer for those looking to officially cut the cord. All you have to do is plug it into your TV's HDMI port, insert the power adapter into an outlet using the USB cable, pair it with your television and then you're good to go. You'll get access to loads of entertainment from Prime, Netflix and more, but what I love the most—other than the endless other than the endless amount movies and television shows? The handy Alexa Voice Remote, which allows you to use your voice to search shows across apps.

The Frame TV is the perfect product to splurge, because, as you may or may not know, it camouflages itself as a picture frame by displaying curated digital art images and/or your own family photos when it's not in use. When you are using it to, well, actually watch TV, it's just as impressive, providing crystal-clear 4K picture quality and an immersive sound experience. Why else do you think it's TikTok's favorite flat screen? There's just nothing like it.

If you have a Kindle (tons of which are included in the sale), you're not going to want to waste any time before picking up this tablet holder that's been all over my TikTok feed. To get the perfect hands-free setup, pair it with a page turner (I use this one, which is also currently marked down), and you'll be perfectly comfy while you dive into your next spooky season read.

I've lost count of how many times my phone has died while out and about—at concerts, at restaurants and, worst of all, at the gym. But I won't be stuck with a black screen or silent workout again thanks to this lightweight, portable charger. It's compatible with Android, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones, supplying the power they need to get through the day with a 4,500 milliamp-hour battery capacity. And it clicks right into your phone without a big power bank weighing it down or adding extra stuff to your purse. Heck, it's *so* compact, you can even stick it in your back pocket when you're not toting a handbag.

Tune out any background noise with these noise-cancelling, over-the-ear headphones, and then switch back into Aware mode when you'd rather be, you know, aware of your surroundings. The clear sound quality, long battery life and comfortable ear cushions make these a must-buy for your hot girl walks, especially considering that right now, they're marked down by a whopping $150. (And, psst: I think they'd also make a great gift.)

Besides connecting to the app so you can be alerted when someone walks in view of your door or rings the doorbell, this device allows you to communicate with someone at your door (say, a mailman or neighbor). And this model has a great battery life, lasting weeks at a time, according to buyers. And when it dies? All you have to do is plug it in for a few hours, so it can get back to monitoring your front door. Why else do you think Candace Davison, PureWow's VP of editorial, gave it a *90* out of 100 in a PureWow100 review?

Want to make your home feel like Smart House? These little plugs, which can conveniently turn your electronics on and off from anywhere (so you'll never be left wondering if your curling iron's still on again), will do the trick. Here's how they work: Plug them into the outlets near your most frequently used appliances (i.e., your living room lamp), then simply set up the accompanying app to control them remotely. Better yet, you can also set your plug on a timer, which especially comes in handy if you want to turn your lights on and off when you're on vacation.

22. Amazon Fire TV

Amazon

This TV is super easy to use, and it's a must-have if you keep up with shows on multiple streaming platforms, since it organizes and displays all your apps. So there’s no need for a Fire Stick here since the capabilities are all built into the TV. Plus, the remote control has Alexa capabilities for hands-free voice control. What more can you really ask from your home entertainment system?

The Roku Streaming Stick is simple, efficient tool for streaming your favorite tv shows and movies. As Meister mentions in her review, all of the apps are neatly organized on the home screen, the interface is a simple one that doesn't bombard you with excessive ads or movie trailers and the easy setup allows you to plug the USB port right into your TV. Plus, you can use the voice command on the remote or search whatever you're looking for right from the home screen.

Trouble sleeping? If you, like me, find yourself struggling to fall and stay asleep, it might be worth checking out these viral SmartGoggles from Therabody that shoppers swear by. One reviewer wrote, After working on the computer all day, my eyes become extremely fatigued, but using this before bed makes a significant difference. Excessive screen time due to work was making my eyes feel very heavy, yet using this daily has provided relief." And this TikTok creator says they feel super relaxing, so this is a deal you'll want to treat yourself to.

Stream your favorite shows and movies, take phone calls, listen to music/podcasts and more, all on the the Echo 5. Plus, this guy has a built-in photo display feature that can showcase a slideshow of your favorite family photos. Most importantly, though, it has multiple privacy controls including off buttons on the microphone and camera, and a built-in camera shutter to help with security. While I think that's reason enough to add it to cart now, you should also know that the sleek design is compatible enough for traveling as well.

Apple is known for its top-of-the-line devices, and MacBooks are among the most popular. They’re super thin, lightweight and incredibly fast, not to mention they have 512 gigabytes of storage, which, in layman's terms, is A LOT. This model features a 13-inch wide retina display and a crisp picture for easy viewing, along with an 22-hour battery life, so you can feel free to work (and play) on it while on-the-go.

These wireless earbuds help you get in the zone with their enhanced audio studio-quality sound and active noise cancellation. They fit comfortably in your ear without slipping or falling out, and reviewers especially love the interpreter feature, which gives you real-time translations while communicating during face-to-face convos.

If you just so happen to be in need of a new thermostat, look no further than the Google Nest, a dutifully-equipped Energy Star-certified temperature regulator that assists with keeping you comfortable during all four seasons, while also saving energy. I love anything sustainable, and this device really wins me over by automatically turning itself off once you leave the house. Plus, you can control the thermostat on your phone, laptop or tablet, which eliminates having to always make a trip to the living room whenever you want to change the temp.

Whether it's your phone or computer, you don’t want to be stuck without a charger (especially if you're away from home or traveling), and this one is super clutch due to its compact design and lightening-fast charging. Compatible with almost every iPhone, it has over 7,000 five-star reviews, and with its affordable price tag, you can even snag two for good measure.

A new work laptop is a great investment to make, and all signs point to this option being worth every penny, as it boasts a lightning-fast loading time and vivid picture so you can work efficiently. This one comes loaded with Windows 11, an HD camera and plenty of storage space amongst other neat features.
