Early Prime Day discounts on smartwatches and fitness trackers are now available, PCMag reported on Saturday. The publication said shoppers can already find markdowns ahead of the main event, pointing readers toward wearable deals rather than waiting for the official sale dates.
Other outlets are reporting overlapping promotions across consumer electronics. AppleInsider described early October Prime Day offers that cut as much as $600 off Mac computers, Apple Watch models, Jackery power products and Ugreen accessories. Separately, Yahoo Tech highlighted a deal on the Apple Watch Series 11, noting it was priced $50 below the newer Series 12 at Target.
Tablet shoppers also have options, according to ZDNET, which reported early October Prime Day iPad deals reaching $450 in savings. NBC News rounded up Apple discounts it had found at retailers including Best Buy and Target.
Taken together, the coverage indicates that this year's early Prime Day window spans wearables, computers, tablets and accessories rather than a single product category. PCMag's guidance centers on smartwatches and fitness trackers, while the other reports focus on Apple hardware and related gear.
Because the source material does not include specific model lists, prices or end dates beyond those cited, shoppers looking for particular devices will need to check individual retailer listings for current pricing and availability.
What to watch next: whether these early discounts deepen or sell out as the official Prime Day period approaches, and whether competing retailers match the Apple-related offers.
