It’s still made for the everyday user interested in fitness and health, and won’t bog you down in performance data. Multiple colour options are available.View Deal Samsung Galaxy Watch Active | AU$249 (save AU$89) The original Samsung Galaxy Watch Active has seen a decent price cut, making this a much more affordable smartwatch. It’s fitness-focused, and is packed with features to monitor your heart rate, sleep and stress levels, as well as auto-track a range of workouts. There’s GPS onboard too. An updated Active 2 is now on the market, but this is a very nice price on the slightly older version, available in black, silver and rose gold.View Deal Garmin Fenix 5 | AU$543 (save AU$543) If you’re serious about your fitness, you’ll want a sporty smartwatch that can keep up the pace.

This polished wearable has all the heavy-hitting must-haves in a lighter and more compact design, plus GPS and GLONASS reception for when you venture off the beaten track. This model has since been updated with the Garmin Fenix 6S, but that means it’s available for much less than its newer sibling’s AU$999 asking price.View Deal Garmin Fenix 5 Plus | AU$624.50 (save AU$624.50) For an incredibly capable multisport watch, take a look at this discounted Garmin Fenix 5 Plus.

It's powerful – with 2,000 watts of suction power – and can easily be operated with your foot. Its castors rotate 360 degrees, making it easy to move around, and it can be yours for a low price of just AU$337.View Deal Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 | AU$899 (save AU$400) It's the most powerful and smartest Deebot yet and it will both vacuum and mop for you. With three suction power levels, it will do a great job on carpets, but it will struggle if you have ingrained hair, fibre and dirt on carpets that are very old. Still, it's a darn good investment if you hate vacuuming, particularly since it's now at its lowest price of just AU$899.View Deal Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920 | AU$589 (save AU$310) With more competition in the autonomous cleaning market, Ecovacs is dropping the price of some of its more premium models. This was launched a couple of years back and was one of the first robo vacs to vacuum and mop. While it's not quite as powerful, or intelligent as the T8 mentioned above, it's still a pretty good droid, even on carpets. And it's now cheaper still, with a very cool saving of AU$310. Christmas gift, anyone?View Deal iRobot Roomba 605 | AU$385 (save AU$68) It won't mop, and it doesn't have as much suction power as the two Deebots listed above, but if you are on a tight budget and really don't have time to keep up with vacuuming your home, then is a bargain price for robot vacuum. It's best used on a hard floor but it might be sufficient for easy jobs on low-pile carpets.View Deal Instant Pot Duo Nova | from AU$119 (save up to AU$110) Whether you're an excellent cook or someone who just needs a meal ready without too much, the Instant Pot Duo Nova is a must-have in a kitchen. Make a soup, roast a chicken, or just get some steamed rice cooked, it'll all get done without you needing to do much – now with 37% off all three sizes.View Deal Amazon Prime Day began in the US in 2015 as a celebration of the company’s 20th anniversary, with more deals on offer than Black Friday back then. Prime Day then quickly transformed into Amazon’s mid-year sales event where members of Amazon Prime get exclusive discounts on a wide range of items. While it began as a one-day sale, 2018 saw the offers last for 36 hours, while 2019 saw a recording-breaking 65-hour event for shoppers in Australia. Why does Amazon have Prime Day? It's presented as a neat ‘thank you’ to its paying members, but one that involves giving Amazon more money and shifting a lot of stock at the same time. Prime Day isn’t just about selling Amazon-branded products – many other brands and third-party sellers also save their best deals for Prime Day, completely aware that thousands of extra shoppers will be hitting the online store. To make the most of Prime Day you’ll need to get yourself an Amazon Prime membership which, in Australia, will set you back just AU$6.99 a month or AU$59 a year – half the cost of the US subscription. While you’re paying for the privilege of free, swift delivery, signing up for Prime means you’ll also have free access to Amazon’s streaming services, including Prime Video, Prime Music and Twitch. Members also get free access to Prime Reading and Prime Photos for all their ebook and storage needs. If you'd like to know more about how a Prime membership can benefit you, head to our dedicated page on Amazon Prime in Australia where we explain it all. Amazon has finally confirmed the highly anticipated dates of Prime Day 2020. As mentioned earlier, this year the sale event kicks off at 12am AEDT on Tuesday, October 13 – a first as Prime Day is usually in July and always on a Monday. In Australia, the sale will carry on for a massive 66 hours. Until 11:59pm on Wednesday, October 14, you'll be able to shop for all offers – those sold and shipping domestically and those shipping from abroad (like the UK and US). Once that ends there'll be 18 hours more of offers for Aussie shoppers, although these will be the US deals which, like last year, will carry on until they end in the US West Coast. That's 6pm AEDT on Thursday, October 15. Last year's Prime Day was 65 hours, but thanks to daylight savings kicking in early October, we get an extra hour to shop this year. Amazon has a plethora of offers on its site each day and those are usually some of the best prices you can find on consumer tech. Whether you’re after a Samsung Note 10 or a Philips Hue smart lighting system, chances are you’ll get them cheaper on Amazon than any other Aussie retailer. It’s even more the case with Prime Day deals. Leading the raft of deals during Prime Day 2020 will be Amazon’s own products, including all the Echo and Kindle products, not to mention Ring security devices. Amazon is also one of the most convenient places to score a discount on the Oculus VR headsets and, now, lay your hands on official stock of Samsung devices, Xiaomi phones, Instant Pots and Nikon photography gear. You can easily score about 35% off on Amazon’s own devices during Prime Day which, for the rest of the year probably don’t drop more than 28% or thereabouts. If you’ve managed to score a $500 discount on Samsung or Huawei devices during one of Amazon’s regular deals, then it’s highly likely that the discount will be much deeper come Prime Day. It’s the perfect time to snag a Nintendo Switch or find the lowest prices on the best premium headphones – cheaper than any other retailer who will likely be scrambling to price-match. According to analytics experts Hitwise, Amazon saw an increase in traffic across all major categories on the Australian site, with the Electronics & Computing showing a 359% growth in reach between 2018 and 2019, with Amazon-branded items being the most popular products on the site, followed closely by the Nintendo Switch. There were nearly 100,000 page views for all NIntendo-branded items, including consoles and games. With Samsung now having partnered with Amazon to sell its products on the e-commerce platform in Australia, it was no surprise that the South Korean brand clocked up over 95,000 pageviews during Prime Day 2019. The other big winners in Australia included Sony, Sandisk, Corsair and Philips. We’re not expecting shopping trends during Amazon Prime Day 2020 to change very much. The Nintendo Switch is still going to disappear within minutes of being discounted, and this could happen to the Switch Lite too if you aren’t quick enough. We're not expecting the next-gen game consoles from Sony and Microsoft to be discounted either, but you'll be able to save a packet on older models still in stock. Of course, Amazon’s Echo devices will likely be flying off the shelves like before, and we’ll still see the Paperwhite beating out the other Kindles in terms of sales. You can even expect to pocket some decent savings on Ring’s range of security devices, including the Doorbells and the cameras. Premium headphones have been very popular on Amazon over the last couple of years and 2020 will likely see that continue, particularly for Sony and Bose headphones. With the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 one of the more expensive ANC cans on the market, Prime Day will be a great time to get a set for less. With more TVs available on Amazon Australia now, we think Prime Day 2020 would be an ideal time to upgrade your home entertainment system, especially if you’re in the market for a good 4K smart telly – we've already seen Sony's TVs discounted on the site on a regular basis. It will also be a good time to get yourself a new fitness wearable, be it from Garmin’s very premium GPS sports watch range or more affordable options from Fitbit. Likewise, cameras and drones will see a price drop, too, so keep that credit card handy. 1. Check out our deals predictions and, eventually our Prime Day deals list There are also too many deals available on Prime Day. It's never a problem finding discounts, it's always an issue of figuring out what deals are worth your money. That's why we always set up a curated list during the sales marathon. We spent some good time last Black Friday thinking about smart ways to shop on Amazon – they're still some great Prime Day tips and tricks. 2. Amazon Prime Day has historically required being a Prime member, so be sure to have a subscription on Prime Day Amazon started Prime Day as a clever way to drive up its Prime subscription count, and this online shopping marathon – conveniently opposite Black Friday – accomplished just that. You'll need to sign up for Prime (you can get a free 30-day trial), which comes with free shipping and Prime Video access, among other smaller perks. 3. Create a wish list to curate what you want, as there will be loads of deals You're also going to want to create a wish list ahead of time, which will let you sort out what you want and how much everything costs. This will give you a head start. You'll be able to see which deals dropped in price and which did not. 4. Snap up the best Prime Day 2020 deals before they're gone We often find the best deals to go in a matter of minutes, at which time Amazon rolls out a waitlist for those who were just behind the curve. There are some crucial differences between Prime Day and Black Friday. The first is that Prime Day is Amazon’s own day. It’s right there in the name which, of course, refers to Amazon’s Prime membership program and associated services. Amazon doesn’t own Black Friday, and that means ultimately it’s just another retailer shouting for attention – a massive retailer with a really loud voice. Black Friday is a sales event for the entire retail sector. With Prime Day as its own take on November sale period, it makes it much harder for rivals to muscle in on something that Amazon has effectively created from thin air. The second and more important difference is that Black Friday doesn’t create new spending. It just moves it slightly. As we’ve discovered in recent years, the money people spend over the Black Friday period is money they were probably going to spend anyway: all Black Friday really does is concentrates pre-Christmas shopping in the last week of November. Prime Day spending is different in two ways. First of all, people aren’t spending the money they’d already planned to spend on Christmas presents. And secondly, they’re buying mainly for themselves, not for others. There’s another key benefit for Amazon. Its global bestsellers on Prime Day weren’t just Amazon devices; they were Amazon devices that connect to Amazon services. Fire TVs, Kindle Fires, Echo devices, Alexa remotes. Each one of them connecting to Amazon Prime, and each one of them requiring a Prime membership to buy in the first place. So when Black Friday rolls around, Amazon will have a whole bunch of Prime members for whom shopping on Prime is the default, and who might want to enhance their Amazon-powered smart homes with Amazon-branded Black Friday deals. Prime Day means that, for Amazon, Christmas now comes twice a year.How to shop during Prime Day 2020
