'ZDNet Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNet's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNet nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNet's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Amazon may have announced Prime Day will run on July 12 and 13 this year, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait until 3 am EST on July 12 to find some great deals. While the retail giant will host a large number of sales on the main days, it also announced that deals will begin even earlier this year: June 21.

They announced early sale release dates, but it doesn't make sense to wait -- because there are great early Prime Day deals on Amazon right now if you know where to look. To save you time and energy, we scoured Amazon, combing through hundreds of deals, to find you the best early Prime Day deals.

For full transparency, we checked prices going back as far as six months to make sure that the early Prime Day deals listed here are real deals. Anything under 15% off, we also didn't include, either.

As Prime Day gets closer, be sure to check back for more deals, as this list will receive weekly updates.

Fitbit Versa 3 smartwatch
Amazon
  • Current Price: $161
  • Original Price: $229

Don't want to wait for the Amazon Halo View smartwatch to drop further in price? Opt for the Fitbit Versa 3, one of the leading smartwatches to date. Expect up to six days' battery life with this small but mighty smartwatch that can track sleep, heart rate, and more. You can check notifications from your wrist while you're working out rather than pulling your smartphone.

Reviewer Matthew Miller felt the watch's GPS and heart monitoring vastly improved from the Fitbit 2, stating, "GPS results showed distances within just a few meters of dedicated GPS sports watches. I honestly was very surprised and impressed when I laid the data from the Versa 3 over other GPS sports watches." The lowest price we've seen is $157, but this is the lowest this smartwatch will go in the foreseeable future, we think.
