The retail giant is hosting a week-long event of deals starting today (Wednesday, May 7)
Amazon is well-known for its seasonal sale bonanzas, with significant offerings during annual events such as Prime Week and Black Friday. However, the retail giant is kicking off a new Tech Week with reductions on a wide range of laptops, smart watches and gaming devices to name a few.
Amazon Tech Week kicks off today (Wednesday, May 7) and will run until Tuesday, May 13. As far as we know, the event is open to all Amazon users, and shoppers do not need to be signed up for Prime to get the discounts.
However, there may be some deals that are exclusively available to Prime members. Shoppers can also use camelcamelcamel.com – a free Amazon price tracker – to alert them to deals as they drop.

Another had issues with the battery life, writing: “I like the watch, and with a different strap, I only have slim wrists, it looks quite smart. However, I find it needs almost daily charging, which is a pain.”
A third added: “Upgraded to the Series 10 from a Series 4!! The battery life and screen quality are so much better. There is a lot more functionality, and it is great for tracking my walking, exercise, heart rate, and even oxygen saturation. Surprisingly accurate. It’s a great watch, looks great, and is very comfortable on the wrist.”
