When is October Prime Day 2025? This year, Amazon’s October Prime Day sale runs from Oct. 7 to Oct. 8. The annual sale will last for two days in the fall, and you can expect to see a range of deals on household goods, tech gadgets, and electronics, many of which will be manufactured by Samsung. Expect to see deals on Samsung smartphones, tablets, and home appliances. Are Samsung devices really cheaper on Prime Day? They often are! On Amazon and at other competing retailers, you will often find discounted Samsung smartphones, tablets, laptops, and home appliances.How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?ZDNET authors only write about deals that interest us personally and include products that we own or want to buy. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 15 – 20% off (or are normally not on sale, as is often the case with high-end, new flagship devices), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal actually represents value for your money. We also explored customer reviews to find out what matters to those who already own and use the products and deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing. More

Prime Day is almost here — again. Amazon’s annual sale is now semi-annual, with the next one taking place tomorrow. This one is called Prime Big Deal Days, and it’s two days long. We can expect that Amazon will cut prices on its company-owned brands, like Kindle, Ring, and Alexa devices, during this deals event. But more retailers, including Apple, Samsung, Oura, Google, and Garmin, often slash prices on their health trackers to participate. So, what does this mean for you? October Prime Day could be a great time to buy a wishlist item you’ve been putting off, or get your holiday shopping done early. Also: The best smartwatches we’ve testedI’m rounding up some of the more attractive smartwatch and fitness tracker deals on sale ahead of and during the October Prime Day event. I’m only including products I have tested myself or a ZDNET colleague has tested and recommended, because I know readers don’t have time for random product mentions — and neither do I. While the product offerings below could compel you to buy a smartwatch now, I’d advise waiting until two weeks from now, when the prices could be further cut. Best Prime Day smartwatch and fitness tracker deals 2025 More
