Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, the site’s fall savings event comparable to Amazon Prime Day, are while deals are in full swing today, the clock is ticking since the sale ends at 11:59 p.m. PDT tonight. Taking into account deals seen during past Prime Day events, the major 48-hour sale has proven to be a an opportune time to save on higher priced purchases, like the latest and greatest tech from Apple. Since Apple as a brand almost never hosts their own product sales, shopping sale moments like this is one of the smartest way to buy tech, whether you’re looking to get some holiday shopping done early or shopping for yourself. There are devices on sale across all categories, including up to $500 off a MacBook Pro.

Shop Prime Big Deal Days

Unlike the July Prime Day, the pricing throughout Prime Big Deal Days is exclusive to Prime members. If you’ve been waiting to sign up for the loyalty service, you can start a free 30-day trial before committing to a monthly or annual membership. If you’re looking to keep your gift list to a tighter budget, you can shop AirPods (2nd Gen) for just under $90 and a handful of gadgets, like the new 15.3-inch MacBook Air, are down to the lowest prices we’ve ever seen.

We’ll be updating this list as we cruise through the remaining time of the 48-hour sale window. There are plenty of deals to take advantage of and these deals will likely be your best chance to save before Black Friday.

Best October Prime Day Apple Watch Deals

Watch Series 8 (GPS+Cellular, 41mm)

The Series 8 Apple Watch comes with some of the latest technology for your wearable (Apple just dropped the Series 9, which has the newest updates). The biggest difference between the Series 8 and Series 7 (also on sale) is the temperature sensor, which tracks your temperature while you sleep and enables ovulation estimates. This handy tool is great for those thinking about family planning. Of course, you’ll still have a heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen monitor, activity tracker, and Apple’s built-in safety features.

This model can connect to your data plan, for total hands free connectivity while out and about.

Watch Series 7 (GPS+Cellular, 45mm)

You can connect this on-sale Series 7 to your data plan for a totally hands free experience. It has all of the same features as the Series 8, but it lacks the temperature sensor. If you’re looking to snag a fairly up-to-date wearable that also offers cellular connectivity, this is your best pick.

Watch SE (2nd Generation) (GPS, 40mm)

When you see SE in an Apple device’s name, it’s part of the brand’s lineup of high tech, but still affordable, options. This watch features all of the standard specs, like activity tracking, a heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, fall and crash detection, and more. You’ll lose a temperature sensor that you’d have from the Series 8, but the wearable comes in at a reasonable $200 on sale.

Best October Prime Day AirPods Deals

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) feature Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Modes, which allow you to control the amount of outside noise you hear while you’re jamming out or making calls.

AirPods (2nd Generation)

The most affordable AirPods on the market, the AirPods (2nd Gen) are great for working out and were also our experts’ pick as the best earbuds for Apple users. When paired with the charging case, which uses a Lightning cable, they have up to 24 hours of battery life. The earbuds don’t offer noise cancellation, but they still pack a high-quality audio experience.

AirPods Max

These are Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones. The over-ear cans have memory foam ear pads for an ultra comfortable wear—even over earrings. They offer up to 20 hours of battery life and Noise Cancellation and Transparency Modes. They’re a pricey pair of headphones, so it’s noteworthy when we see them drop below $500.

If you’re looking to grab a new laptop as a holiday gift, this is one that doesn’t sacrifice quality even at a lower cost.
