What this adds

Background

What's confirmed

• Amazon’s October Prime Day 2026 runs from October 6 through October 7, but that doesn't mean every deal is sticking around for both days.

What's still developing

• And the unofficial start of that season is Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, running October 6 and 7.
• Which means it’s probably a wait till a Prime Day price (hopefully) shows up for these again, because you get the heart rate monitoring feature, really good active noise cancelling, and very good battery life.
• It seems like audio deals are hovering around ehh for now until Prime Day pricing really kicks in next week.
• Save early on earbuds, smartwatches, electric razors, and more editor-approved gear.
• DON’T LOOK NOW but the calendar is about to turn to October.
• That’s our goal this Prime Day for you: To sort through the noise with our expertise to guide you on which products are worth it, which aren’t, and where the best savings are to be had.
• We’ll be updating this page on the regular leading up to and during the October Prime Day, so stay tuned.
• You’ll also be able to shop Amazon’s Lightning Deals during the event: They’re lucrative flash sales that give shoppers a short window to purchase limited quantities of specific products.
• Yes, October Prime Day is actually worth it, so long as you shop strategically.
• But ultimately, deals are only worth it if you actually need something, so plan your spending to prevent making impulse purchases.
• October Prime Day (a.k.a Prime Big Deal Days) is only a week away: The Prime member -exclusive runs from October 6 to 7, but you don’t need to wait until then to shop.
• Dyson’s deals start October 1, and Roborock and eufy join on October 6.
