Best Amazon Prime Day deals
One of my favorite Prime Day deals right now isn’t from Amazon. Walmart’s discounted annual Walmart+ membership deal is unexpectedly back. This offer traditional runs during Black Friday, but the retailer has rolled it out again to compete this summer.
Walmart’s membership includes free shipping and delivery, access to early Walmart Deal events, free returns, scan & go, your choice of a free streaming service (Paramount Plus or Peacock), and more. It’s the obvious choice if you shop at Walmart more, and it’s all for just $49.
Apple’s newest AirTag model, the Gen 2 is on sale for one of the first times since its release. You can nab a 4-pack for $89 or an individual Bluetooth tracker for $24. These are perfect for tracking luggage, keys, and more, and they’re newly improved.
Apple’s Watch SE 3 is a great budget buy, and it just got $50 cheaper. Now you can grab one for under $200, and still benefit from many of Apple’s most coveted features, like workout tracking, sleep tracking and more.
The Oura Ring 5 was announced in May, and now, several models of the older Ring 4 are on discount. The ceramic model is 48% off at several retailers, including Best Buy, where the exclusive Midnight blue ring is sold. The Oura Ring 4 is currently our top pick for the best smart ring you can buy.
The latest pair of WH-1000 headphones from Sony, the XM6 model, is our pick for best headphones right now, thanks to its impressive sound profile, exceptional noise cancellation, and outstanding phone call mic quality.
Review: Sony WH-1000XM6
Editor-in-Chief Kerry Wan recommends this mouse for Mac Minis, and says it’s the superior choice for other systems. “The Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac has better ergonomics, clickier keys, and far greater utility than the new Magic Mouse,” he wrote in his review.

How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or were hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal was actually on sale and how frequently it dropped.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
