Amazon’s October Prime Day is happening Oct. 8 and 9, which means we’re only three weeks away from some of the lowest price of the season. In true Amazon fashion, however, deals are already rolling in. Brands like Samsung, Google, Garmin, and Amazon itself have dropped prices as of Sept. 17. While they’re not officially considered early Prime Day deals, they’re practically just as good.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these catch your eye, be sure to take a peek at our picks from yesterday, Sept. 16.
Our top pick
“The sound quality from the Galaxy Buds FE is unmatched for earbuds at this price range,” Mashable reporter RJ Andersen wrote in her review of Samsung’s earbuds, adding that even Apple users should consider them. Beyond the incredible sound quality, she was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable and customizable fit, solid battery life with even better noise cancellation, and of course, the affordable price. Regularly just $99.99, you can snag a pair of the Galaxy Buds FE for only $67.99 as of Sept. 17. That’s 32% in savings and their lowest price on record.
Hoping to get your kiddos moving in a safe and fun way? The Garmin vivofit jr. 3 may look like a fitness tracker for kids, but it actually unlocks an interactive experience that lets your little one explore the globe on an educational adventure. Its battery lasts for an entire year, so you don’t need to worry about constantly throwing it on the charger, and its parent-controlled app can help you keep tabs on their activity, manage chores, give rewards, and set reminders. As of Sept. 17, it’s also only $69.99 — that’s 22% off its usual cost and just $10 away from its record-low.
If you’re looking to switch up your music app, Amazon is offering four free months of its Amazon Music Unlimited service to Prime members (or three free months to non-Prime members). An official early Prime Day deal, Amazon Music Unlimited gives you access to on-demand music and podcasts ad-free with unlimited skips and the ability to listen offline. Plus, you’ll get to experience HD and spatial audio. It typically costs $9.99 per month for Prime members and $10.99 per month for non-Prime members, so this deal saves you about $39.96 (with Prime) or $32.97 (without Prime). Note: this deal is only available for new subscribers.
The latest Google Pixel 9 got more expensive (along with everything else), which makes this deal on the still great Google Pixel 8 even better. Regularly $699, it’s on sale for just $499 at Amazon. Not to mention, your purchase comes with a free Google Pixel Watch. That’s nearly a $1,000 value for only $499 — a total steal. While the Pixel 8 may not be the most exciting phone on the market any more, it still offers a great camera, all-day battery life, a 120Hz refresh rate, a swanky chipset, and fancy AI features. If you have an older phone, it’s a worthy upgrade. Just be sure to grab the deal before Sept. 21 to score the free Pixel Watch.

If you print a ton of business documents and reports each month, the HP LaserJet M110w is a great value. On sale for only $79 — 39% off its usual cost — this laser printer can push out up to 21 black-and-white pages per minute. It’s not the fanciest printer in the world, but it does offer wireless printing from any device and an app to eliminate repetitive tasks, scan to the cloud, and print and copy from your phone. If printing professional-quality black and white documents and reports is your main goal, you can’t go wrong — especially at this price.
