You walk outside after dinner. The sun is low in the sky, much lower than it was even a week ago. There’s a chill in the air. You feel a tremble. Is that a shiver from the cold? No — it’s your wallet, quaking in your pocket. It knows what’s coming: Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
If you’re here for kitchen gadgets or vacuums, you might want to check out our other round-up. This one’s for the tech heads — the folks who know the difference between QLED and OLED, who debate iPhone vs. Android at family dinners and who’ve been waiting all year for an excuse to upgrade their TV or finally grab a new pair of AirPods. (The Pro 3 is shipping this week, how’s that for an excuse to upgrade?) Good news: Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are almost here, and if history is any indicator, we’re in for two straight days of heavy discounts on screens, speakers, laptops and more.
Circle Tuesday, October 7, and Wednesday, October 8 on your calendar. That’s when we’re expecting some of the lowest prices of the season on rarely discounted brands — Apple, Samsung, Sony, Bose — you know the deal. We’ll be tracking every lightning deal, price drop and all-time-low worth your time, but for now, we’ve rounded up some of the best early tech deals you can shop today.
Amazon Prime Day Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got Prime Day question? We’ve got Prime Day answers:
When is Fall Prime Day 2025?
Amazon Prime Big Deals Days will only run for two days (as opposed to the four-day event in July). The sale kicks off on Tuesday, October 7th and continues though Wednesday, October 8th. Make sure you set a reminder so you don’t miss out on the biggest deals (and if this summer’s sale is any indicator, the best deals will go fast).
What will be on sale during Fall Prime Day?
Amazon is pretty tight-lipped about what markdowns we can expect once the sale kicks off; however, previous Prime Day events have proven to be some of the best times of the year to score all-time low prices on tech. We usually see major price drops on Apple products, as well as Amazon’s own in-house gadgets, like Ring doorbells and Fire TV sticks. (Pro tip: Amazon is apparently announcing more new devices on September 30th, so the company may be prepping to clear even more space in its warehouses.) It’s also a good idea to get a head start on gift shopping, so you’re not scrambling in a couple of months. Why not check some names off your list before you’ve even opened your first bag of Halloween candy?
Do I need to have an Amazon Prime membership?
If you’re not a Prime member, you won’t miss out completely — there will be deals that non-Prime members will be able to take advantage of, too. That said, most of the best Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members, so having a subscription will help you make the most of the event. Thankfully, signing up can’t possibly be easier, and new members can even opt for a free 30-day trial (after which, you’ll be charged $139 each year — don’t worry, you can cancel any time).

“I upgraded from a Series 5,” said this watch wearer. “The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go two days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it’s full in about 30 minutes. The price is on par for the quality. The health sensors are nice. I know I have sleep apnea and never got around to taking care of it. The watch notified me after about a month of use and provides data to bring in to the doctor’s office.”
