October Prime Day (officially called Prime Big Deal Days) is over, but some of the best tech deals are still available. That includes markdowns on earbuds, headphones, smartwatches and fitness trackers. Some of the top deals include 20 percent off Apple Airpods 3 and 50 percent off the Google Pixel Watch 3.
I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day tech deals â each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.
Iâll continue checking prices and updating this list with the best deals still available after Prime Day. Keep in mind that these discounts could disappear at any time.
