Over $100 Off On Apple Watch, & More Incredible Tech Deals From Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is finally here, and if that isn't reason enough to know that we're all going to be OK then I don't know what is. If you're anything like me, the first things you check out when Prime Day rolls around are the deals on the latest must-have items in technology. Amazon Prime Day deals on tech items are some of the best around, which means they're going to sell out faster than Alexa can tell you today's weather forecast.

Technology moves at lightning speed, and it seems every week there's a new breakthrough that makes whatever you bought last year (or last month) obsolete. It can be easy to fall into a trap of feeling like you need the latest and greatest, but here's a pro-tip: Wait for the Amazon reviews to roll in before you invest your hard-earned cash (that's still a thing, right?) on what the cool kids are buying en masse.

With these Prime Day deals on tech, you'll be able to see exactly how they perform based on the reviews, and you can sleep easy (tracked by an app, of course) knowing that you got a great deal. From gizmos and gadgets for your home to smart phones, watches, and headphones, these deals are guaranteed to make you say, "Siri, is this what happiness feels like?"

$30 Off Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell In Satin Nickel

Available on July 31, the Ring Wi-Fi enabled video doorbell works with Alexa to illuminate and send announcements to Echo devices when your doorbell is pressed or motion is detected. You can also see, hear, and talk to visitors through Echo Show or Echo Spot. Now, you'll be able to see, hear and speak to visitors from your phone, tablet, and PC. Pretty wild, right? The best part is that it will work on any home, with or without existing doorbell wires. Infrared night vision means it works at night and can monitor your home in HD video, letting you check in on your property anytime with Live View on-demand video. Modern technology is wild, right?

$40 Off Echo Show 5 Compact Smart Display With Alexa

This Alexa Echo has a compact 5.5” smart display and is ready to help manage your day, entertain at a glance, and connect you to friends and family. I particularly love the ability to use it in the kitchen, and cook right along to step-by-step recipes, in addition to the ease of updating to-do lists and calendars. Then, glance at the weather and traffic on your way out. This Alexa can show you TV shows, movies, the news, or you can listen to radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks. Connect with video calling and messaging, then call friends and family who have the Alexa app, an Echo device with a screen, or Skype. If you're worried about privacy, you can turn off the microphone and camera with one press of a button, and slide the built-in shutter to cover the camera.

$15 Off Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Smart Notebook

I've been wanting to try one of these! This Everlast reusable smart notebook has 32 pages that wipe clean with a damp cloth when used with Pilot Frixion pens. So you can just use pages over and over without wasting paper. While it will work with any pen, marker, or highlighter from the Pilot Frixion line, this set comes with five, which is part of why I love this promotion so much. Remember to allow 15 seconds for ink to dry in order for it to bond to the specialized pages.
