Can’t wait until Black Friday to start your holiday shop or score a killer deal on a gadget you’ve been eyeing? You may not have to. Although Black Friday isn’t until November 29th, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have begun rolling out their holiday discounts, many of which are available elsewhere. Some retailers will even refund you the difference if an item drops further in price later this year, meaning you don’t necessarily have to worry about shopping ahead of time.
New deals are popping up weekly, so we’ve rounded up the cream of the crop below to make sorting through them easier. Current promos include steep discounts on a range of our favorite tech, too, from the Beats Solo Pro headphones and Apple’s AirTags to some of our favorite holiday string lights. We’ll continue updating this roundup as more deals drop, so bookmark this page and keep checking back.
The best Apple deals
The GPS-enabled Apple Watch Series 10 is down to its best price of $349 ($50 off) in the 42mm configuration at Amazon and Walmart. Apple’s latest flagship wearable features the company’s new S10 SiP chip and an added depth and water temperature sensor. It also offers faster charging than the prior model, as well as a larger wide-angle display. Read our review.
You can buy the last-gen iPad with Wi-Fi and 64GB of storage for its all-time low of $199.99 ($129 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The 2021 tablet features a smaller 10.2-inch screen than the newer model, a slower A13 Bionic chip, and a Lightning charging port. However, it’s still snappy enough for streaming, browsing the web, sending emails, and performing other typical tablet tasks, making it great for kids or anybody looking for an affordable tablet. It even features a 3.5mm headphone jack — a welcome rarity.
The best speaker and headphone deals
The Google Nest Audio is on sale for $49.99 ($50) at Best Buy and Target, which is one of its better prices to date. If you’re embedded in Google’s ecosystem, the aging smart speaker is still worth picking up. It’s compatible with Google Home and will soon support a number of Gemini-powered capabilities that should make Google Assistant more context-aware. It’s also a decent speaker, one that delivers good audio quality for its size and supports stereo sound when paired with another Nest Audio speaker. Read our review.
Jabra may have stopped selling consumer earbuds, but that doesn’t there aren’t discounts available on the existing models. Right now, for instance, you can purchase the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 for an all-time low of $199.99 ($80 off) at Best Buy. In addition to noise cancellation, the semi-open Elite 10 come with an LE Audio charging case, which lets you wirelessly transmit audio from an external device. They also feature physical buttons and support other essentials, including multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
You can also pick up Jabra’s Elite 8 Active Gen 2 for $169.99 ($60 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is one of the better prices we’ve seen. The fitness-focused earbuds offer a robust IP68 rating water resistance rating that can withstand sweaty workouts, along with a secure fit and adaptive ANC. They also support multipoint pairing and wireless charging, and like the Elite 10, come with an LE Audio charging case.
The best smart home deals
The iRobot Roomba Combo j7 Plus is on sale for around $699 ($300 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which matches its best price to date. The j7 Plus is similar to the Roomba Combo j9 Plus, as it offers AI obstacle avoidance and a mop that automatically lifts to keep your carpets dry. The main difference is that the Combo j9 Plus offers longer batter life and can refill its own mop tank; it also features a new dirt detection feature. Read our review.
You can buy Google’s wired Nest Cam for $69.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches its all-time low. The indoor 1080p camera offers snappy performance and free smart alerts for people and pets. It also comes with 24/7 recording and other useful features, including a Familiar Faces tool that lets you know who is in a room. However, you’ll have to pay for Google’s Nest Aware plan to enable those features. Read our review.
Eero’s Pro 6E mesh router is available for an all-time low of $159.99 ($90 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, or as part of a two-pack for $259.99 (Amazon, Best Buy) or a three-pack for $349.99 (Amazon, Best Buy). It doesn’t support Wi-Fi 7 like the newer Eero Max, but it does support the 6GHz Wi-Fi band with speeds of up to 1.3Gbps. It also can cover up to 2,000 square feet per unit and conveniently features a pair of ethernet ports. Read our review.
The best fitness tracker and smartwatch deals
The Fitbit Inspire 3 is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Google for $69.95 ($30 off), matching its all-time low. The minimalist band lacks built-in GPS and doesn’t offer as many health and fitness features as the Charge 6, but it packs a bright OLED display and does a good job with the basics. It supports irregular heart rate notifications and advanced sleep tracking, along with several stress management features. Read our hands-on impressions.
Google’s Pixel Watch 2 is matching its all-time low of $179.99 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store. The last-gen smartwatch is still a good investment despite the arrival of the Pixel Watch 3, as it offers similar performance and battery life (around 24 hours per charge). Its display isn’t as big, though, and you can only buy it in the 41mm size. It also lacks AI-generated workout suggestions and offline Google Maps. Read our review.
Other miscellaneous tech deals
LG’s G4 OLED TV is on sale in the 55-inch configuration starting at $1,796.99 (about $803 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price yet. The 4K TV sports many of the C4’s standout features — including a 144Hz refresh rate — but it offers brighter picture quality and more accurate colors.
Now through November 14th, Grid Studio is taking 20 percent off a number of its framed, disassembled gadgets when you apply promo code BF20. That includes the Game Boy Color (on sale for $149, down from $249), the iPhone 4 (on sale for $169, down from $99), and even the NES Controller (on sale for $99, down from $139).
The EcoFlow Wave 2 is a heat pump that is uniquely powered by both a battery and solar power, and it’s currently available for $799 ($200 off) from both Ecoflow and Amazon (for Prime members). The highly portable device combines an air conditioner and heater, and while it struggles with more extreme climates, it does a particularly good job of cooling and heating small spaces in temperate ones. Read our review.
Now through November 29th, Moft is taking up to $60 off a variety of cases, stands, and other accessories. The ongoing promo includes Moft’s Invisible Phone Stand and Wallet, which is capable of holding up to three cards and was our favorite adhesive phone grip in 2022. To get the $60 discount, you’ll have to order over $200 and apply the code BF60. However, you can also spend much less and still save, with Moft offering $10 off if you spend over $50 (with code BF10); $20 of if you spend more than $100 (using code BF20); and $37 off if you spend over $150 (with code BF37).
You can buy the Glocusent book light for $17.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, which is its best price yet. The light hangs around your neck to illuminate whatever you’re reading, while offering adjustable brightness and warmth settings.
As part of its early Black Friday promo, Oaky is taking up to 25 percent off several desks, chargers, docks, and other wooden accessories. Right now, for instance, you can buy its attractive Laptop Stand for $120 ($30 off) or an 80 x 19-inch Floating Shelf for $195.50 ($35 off), both of which are available with either oak or walnut construction.
