Prime Day is here and Amazon is raining down deals. We’ve already broken out the best deals in separate posts for movies, tech, kitchen, fashion, and gaming. But if you want the cream of the crop, here’s a rolling list from each category.
Movie Deals
Rick and Morty: The Complete Second Season
Goes Live: NOW
Why you should watch this deal: Because you don’t need to wait for season three to get schwifty!
Game of Thrones: The Complete Seasons 1-6 + Digital HD, Blu-ray
Goes Live: NOW
Why you should watch this deal: Sure, you could wait until the entire series is available in a year or so, but look how pretty that packaging is!
Tech Deals
Amazon has a lot of its own tech on discount, most notably its Echo devices and some budget smartphones. And beyond that, it can be slim pickings, but there are a few tech standouts.
Acer Switch Alpha
Goes Live: 5:59pm
Why You Should Watch This Deal: The Switch, not to be mistaken for the Nintendo console (good luck getting that on sale!) is a “transformer” that can switch from tablet to laptop with ease.
Goes Live: 6:39pm
Why You Should Watch This Deal: Vinyl is coming back, and that means you need a turntable. But this turntable also ensures that you can put your music on MP3 and take it with you, and play back MP3s.
Fashion Deals
Bulova Mens Leather Calfskin Watch
Goes Live: 6:11 p.m.
Why You Should Watch This Deal: If you’ve been meaning to invest in a fine watch for a while, but hate the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on one, this is the perfect opportunity. Bulova is known for their sharp, high quality products, and normally retail for over 200 dollars. So on Prime Day, you could walk away with a classic piece (that you’ll wear every day!) for a fraction of the regular price.
Gaming Deals
Overwatch: Origins Edition, PS4
Goes Live: 8:04pm
Why You Should Watch This Deal: Proving once again Blizzard really can do anything it sets its mind to, this cheerful, colorful multiplayer shooter was one of the best games of 2016, and it’s still got a strong community.
Kitchen Deals
Zojirushi BB-PAC20 Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker
Goes Live: 7:44 p.m.
Why You Should Watch This Deal: A breadmaker is a good money-saver, and this one in particular is designed to allow gluten-free bakers a bit more time and freedom to play with recipes.
Missed Deals
Anker Soundcore Mini
Goes Live: 11:00am
Why You Should Watch This Deal: Anker is one of the most reliable brands of electronic accessories out there, and their portable Bluetooth speakers are among their most popular, and durable, items. If you take music with you, this will be the speaker you listen to.
Luciano Natazzi Men’s Light Weight Jacket
Goes Live: 10:15 a.m.
Why You Should Watch This Deal: This cotton, thermal jacket works for a casual fall look on the street or while hiking/camping. It’s usually a little on the pricey side, retailing for 150 dollars, so we’re going to jump at the opportunity to get it for cheap.
Rainbox Six: Siege, PS4
Goes Live: 1:54pm
Why You Should Watch This Deal: Ubisoft’s squad-based tactical shooter is a lot of fun with friends, and once your squad’s clicking, you can pull off some pretty amazing stunts. Or, you know, get gunned down by one guy with a pistol, but that’s the way the siege breaks sometimes.
Savvy Coffee French Press
Goes Live: 10:15 a.m.
Why You Should Watch This Deal: A french press is another kitchen tool you should have for well beyond coffee. Sure, it makes a good cup, but you can also emulsify things, use it to separate various liquids, and do other fun science experiments. And this is a solid, reliable, and most importantly (relatively) easy to clean press.
