Our favourite Amazon October Prime Day tech deals of 2024
Apple Watch Series 9 Smartwatch, $469 (20% off)
Team Chatelaine loves Apple smartwatches—earlier this year, our creative director used hers with a custom Apple Fitness+ plan to train for a 160-km bike ride!
The Apple Watch Series 9 is a go-to for fitness enthusiasts, with built-in GPS that accurately measures distance and pace. You can even leave your phone at home, and the Apple watch will keep tracking your runs. Along with fitness tracking and workout metrics, this smartwatch contains other health features, such as heart rate monitoring and sleep cycle tracking.
The Apple Watch Series 9 is also designed for safety, with Crash Detection, Fall Detection and Emergency SOS capabilities (learn how to activate these features). This Apple watch is available with or without cellular connectivity. The aluminum case comes in various finishes and the watchband is customizable.
Apple AirPods 3rd Generation, $180 (25% off)
These Apple AirPods make the perfect luxury stocking stuffer. A force sensor lets you control music or audiobooks, answer and end calls without using your phone. They're compatible with Siri for voice commands and offer 30 hours of listening time.
Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds, $24 (41% off)
These Soundcore earbuds are a solid budget-friendly option. Reviewers consistently say the features and performance are impressive for the low price. They offer basic tap controls customizable through the Soundcore app and up to 30 hours of listening time. The charging case comes with a handy lanyard, too. These earbuds come in black, blue and white.
Sony Wireless Noise-Cancelling Overhead Headphones, $278 (35% off)
These Sony wireless headphones have solid noise-cancelling technology and offer an immersive listening experience. A touch sensor lets you control music and volume, answer phone calls and activate your voice assistant. They deliver 30 hours of listening time before you have to recharge them. These sleek-looking headphones are on sale in silver.
Apple iPad 9th Generation (64GB), $329 (27% off)
This version of the iPad is one of Apple's most affordable models—even without the discount. There's a 10.2-inch screen and front and rear cameras. With the Apple Pencil (1st Generation) and Apple Smart Keyboard, it transforms into a drawing tablet and digital notebook. The Apple iPad (9th Generation) comes in two silver finishes with 64GB or 256GB of storage.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet, $135 (29% off)
We love the Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet as a more affordable alternative to the iPad. The screen is a tiny bit smaller (10.1 inches), but you'd barely notice the difference. Like the iPad, it has front- and rear-facing cameras, although there's less storage (32GB or 64GB). These Amazon-approved compatible stylus pen and keyboard case accessories give the Fire HD 10 Tablet the same drawing and note-taking capabilities. It comes with a black, purple or blue case (all options are on sale!).
Kindle Scribe (32GB), $360 (25% off)
We adore the Kindle Scribe, which functions as an e-reader and a digital notebook in one. It's great for recording thoughts on e-books, note-taking, journalling and signing digital documents.
This is all possible with the included stylus pen—your handwritten notes can even be converted into text using the Kindle app. The Kindle Scribe has a 10.2-inch, glare-free display. It comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models with or without Kindle Unlimited.
Amazon Echo Pop, $25 (55% off)
Our deputy features editor loves her Amazon Echo Pop—it wakes her up in the morning, lets her listen to the news as she makes her bed and plays white noise as she falls asleep. And that's not all. The Echo Pop can also play music, audiobooks and podcasts and control other smart devices in the home, such as thermostats and coffee makers.
The Amazon Echo Pop has great sound quality and a sleek design that looks nice wherever it's placed. This smart speaker is available in charcoal, white, lavender and teal.
Amazon Echo Dot 5th Generation, $35 (50% off)
The Echo Dot shares many features with the Echo Pop, with some distinctions. The orb-shaped speaker projects sound all around it, whereas the Echo Pop has a front-facing speaker, making the latter better for placing against a wall or in a corner.
The Echo Dot has some extras that aren't present with the Echo Pop. There's a temperature sensor, so you can ask Alexa what the temperature is inside your home. It also comes with or without a clock display. The Echo Dot is the pricier choice; however, the cost difference is minimal with the current Prime Day deals. You can get it in charcoal, blue or white.
