Officially, Amazon Prime Day will run from July 16 to July 17, this year, which is just a week away.

Is Prime Day a good time to buy a smartwatch?

Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, for which you’ll have to wait for several months, Prime Day is one of the best times to buy a smartwatch. That’s because the potential for savings is through the roof, not just from Amazon but also from rival sellers such as Walmart and Best Buy. Some manufacturers such as Samsung have also slashed the prices of wearable devices if you want to make a direct purchase. If you can wait for this year’s Prime Day smartwatch deals, we promise that you won’t regret it.

How to choose a smartwatch on Prime Day 2024

With all of the brands and models to choose from when buying a smartwatch, you may find it tough to select the wearable device to buy from Prime Day smartwatch deals. If you need recommendations, we recommend checking out our list of the best smartwatches, which is headlined by the Apple Watch Series 9 that’s our top pick for iPhone owners and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 that’s our favorite option for Android phone owners. You shouldn’t feel limited to these two though, as all of the wearable devices in the roundup are excellent targets to purchase for Prime Day.

If you want to narrow down the Prime Day smartwatch deals yourself, your decision will begin by choosing whether you should get an Apple Watch or an Android-powered smartwatch, depending if you’re planning to pair the wearable device to an iPhone or an Android phone. You’ll also have to decide if you want a basic smartwatch that simply connects to your smartphone for displaying notifications, or a premium smartwatch with top-of-the-line technology such as comprehensive health monitoring. If fitness tracking features are important to you, you should check what data the smartwatch that you’re looking to purchase can collect, and if you’re always going on outdoor adventures, a rugged design for durability may be a necessity for you.

Last but not least, choosing a smartwatch for Prime Day will depend on the budget that you’ve set aside for it. Fortunately, with the discounts of the shopping holiday, your money will go a long way. Cheap smartwatches will become even more affordable, and premium smartwatches will be sold for lower prices than usual. You’ll be able to afford smartwatches that you previously couldn’t but only if you’re able to complete your purchase while the Prime Day smartwatch deals are still online, so you have to hurry!

Grab an electric scooter for $198 in the Walmart Deals sale
Person riding GOTRAX electric scooter

While biking can be a lot of fun, it can get tiring, and locking your bike up outside while you're working or shopping isn't always an option. Electric scooters have taken the world by storm because they are more compact than bikes, you can take them with you when you reach wherever you go, and, let's be honest, you don't have to pedal. Luckily, there's a big sale going on at Walmart that sees a discount on the Gotrax Rival Adult Electric Scooter. The price has been knocked down to just $198 from the usual $298. That $100 in savings is pretty substantial and makes it a good option for those who might be on the fence in terms of price.

Why you should buy the Gotrax Rival Electric Scooter
The Gotrax Rival Electric Scooter has a relatively powerful 250W motor that will give you a max speed of 15.5, which might be a bit slower depending on your weight, but otherwise, it's a pretty solid pace, especially if you're on pedestrian roads. The battery has a little over five amp-hours, which roughly translates to up to 12.5 miles of range that you have to work with, although that also will be affected by the quality of the road you're on and you're weight. It has a max weight capacity of 220 pounds.

Grab a new dorm room TV for $118 in the Walmart Deals sale
The Philips 32-inch HD TV's Roku home screen.

Best Buy is currently having a massive sales event, dubbed simply Walmart Deals. As part of the sale you can grab a 32-inch TV for just $118, $50 off its usual price. There's nothing super flashy about this TV -- the selling point is the price. Throw it in the kid's playroom, your dorm, stuff it in the motorhome or camper, do whatever you want with it because a TV isn't getting much cheaper than this. We can (and will) go on more about what this TV is good for below, but be sure to tap the button immediately below this message to check out the TV for yourself. Over 200 copies of this TV are in people's carts as this is being written, so if you wait, supplies may dwindle.

Why you should buy the Philips 32-inch HD TV
The Philips 32-inch HD TV is a small Roku TV that displays in 720p HD. It is by no means a super-powered TV, but it gets the job done. This is the TV that's a little bit grainy but actually fits in your dorm or camper, that lets you talk and chat with the lads and make memories just as much as you focus on watching it. A bit of spilled beer or, if you put this in a child's playroom, a cupcake-icing fingerprint aren't going to sour the mood or make things awkward with a TV at this price level, either. That's the real charm of this TV. It's for small places and times where the memories are worth more than the content.
