Deal hunters, gather round: We're almost done with Amazon Prime Day 2024. And with the big event ending tonight, some of the top Prime Day deals are selling out fast.

Though the flagship summer sale officially started in the wee hours of July 16, Amazon's been releasing early Prime Day deals ever since it announced the event's dates in late June. (Much like Black Friday, Prime Day is less of a one-off and more like an ongoing season.)

We're providing live updates on the top Prime Day 2024 deals right here, so be sure to bookmark or check this page regularly. Trust us, it's a lot easier than scrolling through hundreds of thousands of discounts. That's what you have us for, right?

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day 2024 officially runs from Tuesday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 17. The shopping event typically happens in mid-July, so this year is right on par with years past. Prime Day ends at midnight PT on July 17, so plan your shopping accordingly.

What kind of deals can you find this year?

Anyone who's shopped a Prime Day sale before already knows the drill: It's two glorious days of sitewide digital doorbusters, with Amazon's own devices and services getting the steepest price drops. You can save up to 71% on Amazon Echo devices, and many of Amazon's Fire TVs have never been more affordable. On top of that, we're seeing the lowest-ever pricing on many Apple, Samsung, and Sony gadgets.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2024: Everything Prime members need to know

In a repeat from Prime Day 2023, Amazon also revived its invite-only deals program, giving select shoppers a chance to grab extra-exclusive doorbusters that are likely to sell out. Prime members can visit these products' listings to request an invitation; if chosen, you'll receive an email with a unique link to buy the item during the sale. (Amazon doesn't specify how it picks these lucky shoppers; all we know is that they're exclusive to Prime members.) Check out Mashable's invite-only deals guide if you want to participate.

Now that we've covered the basics, let's get to the deals. We'll be adding more deals to this page over the next 48 hours, and we'll update prices and availability as the top products go in and out of stock.

Read on for our ongoing list of the best Prime Day deals, and head over to our sister site, PCMag, for additional Prime Day coverage. Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

The best Prime Day Apple deals

Our pick: Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen, GPS + Cellular, 44mm) 🔥
$249 at Amazon
$329 Save $80

Why we like it

In the days and weeks leading up to Prime Day, Amazon rolled out the best Apple discounts we've seen all year. For Prime Day proper, we're seeing even more record-low prices on AirPods, MacBooks, and Apple Watches. If you have any Apple tech on your shopping wish list, this is the time to buy.

Case in point: The budget version of Apple's famous smartwatch has never been more affordable. The GPS + Cellular version of the Apple Watch SE is priced at just $249.99. Even though it's not as advanced as the Series 9, it's still one of the most sophisticated wearables and fitness trackers in the world, with improved workout metrics, sleep tracking, and fall and crash detection. Best of all, it's never been priced this low.

Our pick: Amazon Echo Spot 🔥
$44.99 at Amazon with Prime
$79.99 Save $35.00

Why we like it

"The all-new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock with a built-in speaker and a customizable digital face, which shows colorful animations in response to different prompts and questions. (It looks a lot like an upgraded Echo Pop.) You can control it with Alexa voice commands or by tapping its display.

Available in black, glacier white, and ocean blue, the Spot is now on sale for just $44.99 (normally $79.99) for Prime members through July 17 'in celebration of Prime Day,' per an Amazon blog post — a 44% savings. You've also got the option of bundling it with a Sengled smart bulb worth $19.99 for just under $2 more." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Our pick: TCL 65-inch Q6 QLED 4K Fire TV 🔥
$399.99 at Amazon
$479.99 Save $80

Why we like it

TCL's Q6 TV is one of the most impressive cheap QLED TVs out there right now, so the opportunity to score the big 65-inch version for under $400 is a serious W in the chat for anyone looking to ditch their old, faded LED TV. Meanwhile, the sale price on Amazon's in-house 65-inch QLED TV is $659.99. TCL's is a no-brainer.

Even as a more basic QLED, the Q6 gets bright enough to make HDR worthwhile, complemented by the noticeable boosted color accuracy from the layer of quantum dots on top of the LED screen. Compared to just plain LED, QLED provides an overall punchier picture and is way better for gaming or watching sports.

Our pick: Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet (32GB) 🔥
$74.99 at Amazon
$139.99 Save $65.00

Why we like it

A $74.99 tablet is hard to square with all the talk of inflation. But we're not going to argue with this deal. For Prime Day 2024, many of Amazon's tablets are down to their lowest-ever prices. The Fire HD 10 has a 10.1-inch full HD display and 13 hours of battery life, perfect for binge-watching a new TV series on the couch. This tablet was just released in 2023, and Amazon promises it offers 25 percent faster performance compared to the previous generation of Fire tablets.

$999.99 Save $400

Why we like it

"On sale for an all-time low $649.99 (normally $999.99), last year's Motorola razr+ is a budget-friendly alternative to other foldable flip phones like the Google Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) reviewed the razr+ with an 'Excellent' rating, crediting its larger 3.6-inch outer screen and striking 6.9-inch internal display. While it comes in several different colors, only the black and blue variants are down to a record-low at Amazon." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

$429 Save $80

Why we like them

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones.

"If comfort is your number one priority when it comes to noise-cancelling headphones, may I present to you the Bose QuietComfort Ultras. If the name isn't enough of a giveaway, Mashable's Sam Mangino tested them out and confirmed, "These are the most comfortable pair of headphones you can buy right now." These babies offer all-day battery life (even with noise-canceling engaged) and solid noise cancellation quality with three different audio settings. They're not the most intuitive and the price is a bit steep at $429. However, with Prime Day pricing, you can snag them for a more affordable $349 instead." — Lauren Allain, Mashable contributor

Why we like it

"The small-but-mighty SoundLink Flex from Bose just dropped to a record-low $99 at Amazon in its limited edition chilled lilac colorway. That's 34% in savings and — unsurprisingly — 99 cents less than we saw it at during Target Circle Week. Amazon loves to outshine the competition. The SoundLink Flex's got a rugged texture and is completely waterproof, so it's designed to go wherever you go. It can automatically detect whatever position it's in to give you the most immersive listening experience and it'll last you about half a day on a single charge." — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

Our pick: Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon (silver) 🔥
$281.82 at Amazon
$349 Save $67.18

Why we like it

The famous Oura smart ring only recently became available on Amazon, and it's never gone on sale there before. For Prime Day, all Oura Gen3 Horizon rings started at 15% off, but as of day two dropped even lower to 19% off. Not only is this fitness tracker so lightweight that you'll forget you're wearing it after a few days, but it provides deep insights into your sleep, activity, and heart rate (it even monitors your stress levels). Be careful to order the correct ring size, but if you get it wrong, the smart rings will remain on sale post-Prime Day so you can get the right size.

The best Prime Day robot vacuum deals

Our pick: Eufy X10 Pro Omni 🔥✨
$599.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $200

Why we like it

The very best Roomba might be at its best sale price yet, but it's still not the best robot vacuum deal during Prime Day. Rather, you can actually stack more automated cleaning features for a few hundred dollars less by snagging the Eufy X10 Pro. This CES 2024 release has only been on sale a few times since it came out in January, its 25% one being the most severe yet.

Both have pretty powerful suction, recognize objects like phone chargers, empty themselves, and mop with force. But after mopping, only the Eufy X10 Pro will self-wash and dry its own mopping pads, prepping it to scrub the next floor with clean pads. Having tested both in her own apartment, senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart says that not having to deal with soggy mopping pads made her subconsciously reach to open the Eufy app over the iRobot one for pretty much every task.

Why we like it

"If you aren't a hardcore camper, then this tent makes it easier to enjoy the occasional camping trip. You can choose from multiple sizes to accommodate your hiking party (or festival crew), and bring it home for a steep discount. This camp also comes with near-instant setup, which is very much appreciated for those of us who are instruction-challenged. Plus, it's the best-selling camping tent on all of Amazon." — Timothy Beck Werth, Mashable Contributor

Our pick: Chefman 6-quart Dual Basket Air Fryer Oven 🔥
$69.99 at Amazon
$119.99 Save $50

Why we like it

"The [42]% price slash on this Chefman air fryer looks even better when you pit this fryer directly against competition like the same-size Instant Vortex. The Chefman model splits its 6-quart capacity into dual baskets that can cook two independent foods simultaneously at different temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, complete with clear windows to keep an eye on golden brownness. The 6-quart Vortex has just a single basket with no window, maxes out at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and actually costs $18 more, even on sale." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Why we like it

Let the 50% discount on a Shark air purifier be the reminder you need that allergies don't have to be an inevitable inconvenience for your entire life, actually. The Shark Clean Sense uses a HEPA filter to capture a variety of airborne problem causes, from indoor allergens like pet dander and dust to outdoor contaminants like VOCs and wildfire smoke. It can take care of spaces up to 500 square feet.

Xbox Series S + 2TB Seagate Expansion Card Bundle
$529.98 at Best Buy
$659.98 Save $130

Why we like it

"The Xbox Series S is awesome, but unfortunately, it comes with less storage space than you'll probably need. That's why we think this bundle is a no-brainer — it comes with the 512GB version of the console itself, with the addition of a 2TB Seagate expansion card. That's a comfortable amount of extra space, and should be extremely helpful as you download all the Xbox Game Pass titles in your backlog. Best Buy is offering the bundle for $130 off its usual price during its Prime Day-rivaling Black Friday in July sale." — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

Get up to 30% off base fares on Southwest flights (use code PRIME)

Why we like it

"If you have a trip booked between August 6 and Dec. 18, you can use the promo code PRIME to slash your base fares on Southwest flights by up to 30%. The fine print is that you have to book your flight by the end of Prime Day, so you only have until 12:01 a.m. PT on July 18, and that only select flights are discounted. Still, if you're flexible, you can definitely score a much cheaper flight than usual. I did a little poking around and found a significant amount of $70 flights from Nashville, for what it's worth." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Why we like it

Gift card promos are our favorite underrated Prime Day deals — they're basically free money toward a haul or a service you were going to pay full price for and not think twice about it. Our favorite that's still live on the second day of Prime Day is from Lyft, where buying a $100 gift card unlocks $20 off with code LYFTPD. That's at least one free ride, or a much less daunting charge when prices are surged.

Best Prime Day digital entertainment deals

"Challengers" movie poster featuring Zendaya
Credit: Amazon MGM Studios
"Challengers" (digital purchase)
$5.99
$17.99 Save $12.00

Why we like it

"One of the best — and most talked about — movies of the year comes from Luca Guadagnino the master of steamy romance, whether it be the swoon-worthy food journey of I Am Love, the lusty summer love found in Call Me By Your Name, or the cannibalistic coming-of-age that was Bones and All. And yet the hottest of all is hands down Challengers. 

Sure, on the surface this about tennis (much to the chagrin of pope of trash John Waters.) But just beneath its very sweaty surface is a tale of triangle, regret, jealousy, and desire that throws Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor into intense scenes that are scintillating and sublime. 

Plus, on Prime Day, this digital purchase is less than the cost of a movie theater ticket, and way less when you consider its leading lady Zendaya insists this hot hit needs to be seen at least three times to be fully appreciated. So buy it, and watch it once for every side of this intense love triangle. You'll be a better person for it." — Kristy Puchko, Film Editor

Frequently Asked Questions

Prime Day is a 48-hour sale for paid and trial members of Amazon's Prime subscription service. Per a press release, this will be the company's 10th Prime Day. In 2024, Prime Day takes place on Tuesday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 17.

Prime Day 2024 kicked off in the wee hours of July 16 at 3:01 a.m. ET (that's midnight Pacific Time for those on the West Coast). The deals will keep rolling for a full 48 hours, with fresh discounts dropping as frequently as every five minutes throughout the event.

You can participate in Prime Day without committing to a paid Prime membership by scheduling a 30-day free trial around the event. Just remember to cancel it as soon as the sale is over to avoid getting charged.

Prime's current annual rate is the result of a 17% price bump last spring (from $119 to $139), which wasn't totally unexpected: Amazon has increased its membership fees by $20 every four years since 2014. But that's still a significant cost to eat — especially when Walmart and Best Buy's rivaling subscription services cost $98 and $49.99 per year, respectively.

It may help to know that Prime easily pays for itself if you use it to its full extent. Free two-day (or faster) shipping on millions of items is just the tip of the iceberg: Subscribers get complete on-demand access to Prime Video, which has the biggest movie and TV library of all the major U.S. streaming services. (A $139 annual Prime membership is about $45 cheaper than a year's worth of a Standard Netflix plan.) You also have free rein of the Prime Music, Prime Gaming, and Prime Reading libraries, in case you somehow run out of things to watch.

Amazon sweetens things even further with unlimited photo storage via Amazon Photos, plus a free year's worth of Grubhub+ that's valued at about $120 itself.

If you haven't been a Prime member within the past 12 months, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial by following these steps:

  1. Visit amazon.com/prime.

  2. Click on the orange button that says "Start your free 30-day trial."

  3. Sign in or create an Amazon account.

  4. Add a payment method and a billing address. (Don't worry — you won't be charged upfront.)

  5. Click the yellow button that says "Activate your free trial."

After your trial period ends, you'll automatically be upgraded to a paid membership plan for $14.99 per month or $139 per year. (The latter saves you just over $40 annually, FYI.)

Getting your degree? Anyone with a .edu email address can take advantage of a free six-month trial that converts to a $7.49-a-month paid tier under the Prime Student program. (You can ride out that rate for four years or until graduation, whichever comes first.) As a member, you're entitled to several bonus offers on top of the standard Prime perks:

  • A month's worth of free 24/7 homework help from Course Hero

  • A free three-month trial of Calm Premium, which renews at a discounted rate of $8.99/year (normally $69.99/year)

  • Up to 10% off flights and hotels via StudentUniverse

EBT and Medicaid cardholders also qualify for a discounted monthly rate of $6.99 — you just have to verify your eligibility every 12 months.

Aside from aggressively lurking on Amazon's dedicated Prime Day page (and reading our coverage of the sale), there are several ways to ensure you don't miss out on a great deal:

  • Sign up for Amazon's invite-only deals.

  • Organize your Amazon Wish List. Amazon's virtual shopping list feature puts all of your must-haves in one convenient spot so you can see which ones are on sale at a glance (instead of flipping between links and tabs). Check out Mashable's guide to "wishlisting" for more intel.

  • Download the Amazon Shopping mobile app. The app features a Prime Day event page where you can set deal alerts for your recent Amazon searches and views; you'll get pinged with a push notification as soon as an offer goes live.

  • Take advantage of Alexa's advanced deal alerts feature. Amazon's virtual assistant can notify you of a sale on an item in your Wish List, Shopping Cart, or "Saved for Later" queue up to 24 hours before it goes live. Enable the feature on a newer-gen Echo smart speaker, and you'll see its light ring turn yellow (or you'll get a pop-up alert) whenever an item you've saved has a discount in the pipeline. You can then ask for more information about the deal, set a reminder for when it's available, and even give Alexa permission to order it for you using your default payment info when the time comes.

Want to be the first to know when your favorite items go on sale? CamelCamelCamel, a free price-monitoring service, keeps tabs on millions of Amazon products and sends you alerts when there's a discount. By setting up an account and wishlist before the deals drop, you'll get alerts the moment those prices hit an all-time low.

Here's a quick how-to:

  1. Visit the CamelCamelCamel website.

  2. Look for the little person icon in the upper right corner and click on "Create free account."

  3. Enter your email address and a password, then hit "Create account."

  4. That's it! You're ready to start tracking prices.

  5. For even easier price watching, consider installing their browser extension for Chrome or Firefox. You can also import your Amazon Wishlist and let CamelCamelCamel monitor those items for you, sending alerts as soon as they go on sale.

After covering Prime events for years, here's what we'd recommend skipping during Prime Day:

  1. Anything from Ring. The home security company's popular video doorbells always get really cheap during Prime events since Ring is an Amazon brand, but they're ultimately a privacy nightmare.

  2. Almost anything sold and shipped by a third-party seller. Third-party merchants on Amazon aren't scammers across the board, but buying something from a seller you don't recognize can be risky. (Fake reviews and counterfeit listings are way more common — and convincing — than you'd think.) Stick with products that have "Ships from Amazon.com" and "Sold by Amazon.com" under their "Buy Now" buttons just to be safe.

  3. Any deal that seems too good to be true. Amazon has a bad habit of inflating MSRPs to make discounts appear better than they really are. You can verify whether a deal is legit or not by comparing prices across other major retailers and running the product through CamelCamelCamel, a free Amazon price-tracking site.

  4. Anything you get the urge to impulse-buy. Are you buying a new TV because you actually need a new TV, or just because it's $100 off right now?
