This is my 16th year covering Black Friday — here are the best Amazon deals that are still live

Happy Thanksgiving! Deals Editor in Chief Louis here joining you from a chilly Jersey City, NJ. A quick intro: I've been covering tech for 20+ years with an emphasis on deals for 16 years. I've worked at dealnews.com, Digital Trends, Cnet, Gizmodo, and I've been at Tom's Guide for seven years now. I'm a born-and-bred New Yorker and I refuse to pay full retail for anything. 

Ok, so introductions aside — let's get to the deals! Black Friday is no longer a 24-hour event but more of a weeks-long marathon, so you can expect to see sales that started before the holiday running on even through Cyber Monday. That said, let's dig into some deals!

There are hundreds of deals live at Amazon right now, but if I were to recommend just one category to shop — it would be Alexa hardware. Amazon offers its best discounts on Alexa gear during Black Friday. (Prime Day comes a very close second). Yes, there are a few instances where an Echo speaker might've been a few bucks cheaper on Prime Day, but a lot of today's deals come bundled with a TP-Link Smart Bulb, whereas they didn't on Prime Day. Additionally, Amazon refreshed its devices back in October so we're now seeing first-time discounts on Amazon's upgraded 2023 gear.

I'm not buying an Apple Watch 9 as my Series 8 is still in solid shape. However, if you're shopping for a new Apple Watch — this is the best deal you'll find. Amazon has the Series 9 on sale for $329, which is its lowest price ever. In her Apple Watch 9 review, our smartwatch expert Kate Kozuch said it's her top pick for the best smartwatch on the market. We rate this slick wearable so highly because of its S9 processor which offers noticeably faster performance, increased brightness and cool new double tap features.

I'm not a home chef, but I would love to start cooking more. So I'm looking for a new cookware set that'll inspire me to turn on my stove more often. Our Homes editor Katie Mortram just searched the internet for the best deals right now and found 5 Le Creuset items on sale. Mind you, Le Creuset deals are very hard and rare to find. Personally, that 9-inch cast iron skillet is the item that draws me the most. On a different note, I have no clue what's in this Le Creuset lifestyle image above, but it looks gooood! (Butternut squash with feta and walnuts, perhaps?)

I love my Lululemon workout clothes, but their stuff is hardly ever on sale. Until now! Our fitness editor/expert Jane McGuire has tested and reviewed fitness gear for over 5 years and she's just put together a list of items to shop in the Lululemon Black Friday sale. I can also vouch for their Pace Breaker running shorts (they're light and hold up great during those hot and humid summer/outdoor runs).

Should I buy now or wait for Cyber Monday? That's the question I hear all the time. To be honest, it makes no difference. Years ago, things were different. Black Friday was more of a brick-and-mortar event where folks would line up outside stores in the freezing cold weather and wait for those "early bird" specials. That might still happen, but it's not as popular as it used to be because nowadays the deals are all released online before Black Friday even arrives! 

Meanwhile, Cyber Monday was designed for online retailers (think stores like Newegg.com) that had no brick-and-mortar presence. Again, that's all changed now. These days, the same deals you see on Black Friday are the same ones you'll see on Cyber Monday. There are exceptions of course. For example, you might see the Fire TV Stick on sale during Black Friday, whereas the Fire TV Stick 4K Max might be the item on sale on Cyber Monday. But generally speaking — it's all the same. Black Friday-Cyber Monday have become a span of months rather than just days. So my advice is that if you see the item(s) you want to buy on sale today or tomorrow — buy them. There's no need to wait. Some stores are offering price guarantees so if the price drops next week, you can request a refund of the difference. (You can follow our Cyber Monday deals roundup here).

Tldr; Black Friday and Cyber Monday used to be different, but these days the sales are basically the same. If you see the item you want on sale now, buy it now because it likely won't be significantly cheaper next week. 

RESTOCK GUIDE!
Finding PS5 and XSX stock is pretty easy these days. There are even some solid PS5 Black Friday deals you can find right now. But if you have your eyes on the new PlayStation Portal, well, things aren't as easy. It's sold out pretty much everywhere — including Amazon. To be honest, we weren't huge fans of the device (we gave it just 2/5 stars), but if you have your heart set on it, our deals editor and restock expert Rory Mellon has created a restock guide that's being updated whenever we find stock. Spoiler: There is no stock right now. However, be sure to bookmark it if you're looking to buy one this holiday season.

When it comes saving money on apparel, my recommendation is to always shop out of season. So I normally shop summer clothes during the winter and vice versa. But I admit, I don't always get to follow my own advice. So if you're looking to refresh your winter gear, there are some good apparel deals happening at Amazon today. Adidas in particular has a lot of hoodies, sweatpants, socks, and jackets on sale from $8. I want to call out that Adidas.com also has a 70% off sale happening now for its members (it's free to join). It's not an apples to apples comparison though, as they're selling different items. (The Adidas store is carrying newer styles/apparel). So if you don't mind not having the 2023 styles — Amazon might have the more aggressive pricing. 

Adidas sale: deals from $8 @ Amazon

There are hundreds of sales that are live right now. To make things more manageable, our deals expert Millie Davis-Williams has curated an A-to-Z guide of today's best sales. Her guide includes top-level deals on apparel, TVs, video games, sneakers, and more. These aren't just Amazon deals, but sales across various retailers. If you're just starting your holiday shopping, hit the link below to see what's out there. 

Where to shop Black Friday deals

This is going to be a long post, so bear with me here.

Apple gear is always popular over the holidays. My advice when it comes to Apple deals is to avoid the Apple Store's Black Friday sale. They announced it last week and it'll offer from $50 to $200 gift cards with select Apple devices. However, those "select" Apple devices are (with the exception of the Apple Watch 9) previous-gen devices. There's absolutely nothing wrong with previous-gen devices, but if you want new gear, you'll find better dollar-off discounts from authorized Apple retailers. For example, the new M3 MacBook Pros won't be eligible for the Apple Store's Black Friday promo. However, Amazon has the 14-inch model on sale now for $1,449. That's a nice $150 off its full $1,599 price. 

However, here's another tip. Best Buy is beating Amazon's prices by $50. The catch is you must be a My Best Buy Plus ($49.99 per year) or My Best Buy Total ($179.99 per year) member. If you're already a member — win! Buy from Best Buy and you'll enjoy the $50 savings. If you're like me and you're not a member, I would suggest joining the cheap tier. You'll pay $50, but I've been impressed by Best Buy's member only deals this holiday and if you join now, you'll get to checkout their deals for now through this time next year. I personally plan on buying a new MacBook Pro this year and will join later today. 

14" MacBook Pro (M3): was $1,599 now $1,449 @ Amazon
14" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro): was $1,999 now $1,849 @ Amazon
16" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro): was $2,499 now $2,299 @ Amazon

PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION!
I've been using the Ninja CE251 Coffee Maker for over a year now and I love it. In fact, that's my machine you see in the image above. Here's why I like it — it's compact, makes a solid cup of joe, and it's now at its lowest price ever. I can't recommend it enough. You can check out my Ninja CE251 hands-on for my full take it on it, but be advised this machine rarely goes on sale (because it's already so cheap), so take advantage of this deal while you can. 

Ninja 12-Cup Coffee Maker: was $79 now $59 @ Amazon

There are a lot of runners here at Tom's Guide (myself included) and if you're looking for new running gear — you've come to the right place. Our fitness expert and runner Jessica Downey has combed through the latest Hoka sale at Amazon to recommend the top products and deals to shop. Her roundup includes hats, sports bras, men's shorts, and sneakers. 

What to buy in the Hoka Black Friday sale

Everything goes on sale during Black Friday, but in my 16 years covering the event there are two things I recommend buying: TVs and mattresses. Mattresses see the biggest price drops of the year in November. Yes, they're regularly on sale throughout the year, but right now you'll find the cheapest prices. When it comes to beds, I recommend buying them directly from the brand. They usually offer better deals, return policies, or bundles that retailers don't offer. That said, Amazon does have a lot of budget beds on sale today including the Lucid. Our sleep expert calls it the best cheap Amazon mattress. The twin, full, and queen sizes are all on sale. For more bed deals, our certified sleep expert Claire Davies has a guide to the best Black Friday mattress deals happening now.

Lucid (queen): was $229 now $183 @ Amazon

Here's something you don't see very often. Right now Walmart has the Sony WF-1000XM5 Earbuds on sale for $239, which is their lowest price ever. Our audio editor Lee Dunkley spotted that Walmart has the lowest price and it's beating Amazon's price by $9. It's not often that Amazon doesn't price match its competitors. Nevertheless, in his Sony WF-1000XM5 review Lee says he found the smaller and lighter design comfortable to wear for long periods with some of the strongest ANC around.

Sony WF-1000XM5 Black Friday deal

Small confession: I know jack about cameras. Fortunately, our cameras editor Peter Wolinski is an expert and he's reviewed plenty of today's best mirrorless cameras.  If you're like me and a total newbie in the world of cameras, Peter has created a Black Friday guide to the best camera deals available right now. There's something for everyone in his guide from fun cameras like the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 to Sony's vlogging camera for online content creation.

Hi, everyone! Millie Davis-Williams, Deals Writer for Tom's Guide here. I'll be with you for the next few hours sharing more Black Friday deals.

If you're tempted to upgrade your phone right now, don't miss this epic Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Black Friday deal. Shop with Samsung and you can get up to $800 off the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with trade-in. Plus, you can get up to an additional $300 off with Samsung's offer programs (these apply to students/educators, US government employees, military, first responders and other employees of partnering companies.)

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: up to $800 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung

Here's the earbuds deal I have my eye on this Black Friday — the Bose QuietComfort Ultra for $249 at Amazon. They're currently at their lowest price ever and they're the best noise-cancelling earbuds we've reviewed. I'd love to get a pair of these as my current earbuds don't do much in the way of blocking outside sound, and when it comes to ANC Bose can't be beat. In our review, we said these earbuds "take immersive audio to the next level."

Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds: was $299 now $249 @ Amazon

When my shift is over, I'm looking forward to kicking back and relaxing with my Nintendo Switch. I'm definitely checking out my colleague Rory Mellon's coverage of the GameStop Black Friday sale in the meantime. As it turns out, it's the perfect time to pick up a games console or some new games for the holiday break.

This is the best time of year to curl up with a good book, right? However, take this tip from me: wait until tomorrow to buy a new Kindle. All the Kindle models are on sale at Amazon right now, but most of them are hovering slightly above all-time price lows. I'd wait until tomorrow to see if they get even cheaper on Black Friday itself. The exception to the rule is the Kindle Scribe (16/Basic Pen) for $239 at Amazon — this Kindle is at its lowest price ever.

I'm not the sportiest person out there, but if you are, you should check out this Black Friday Garmin Epix Gen 2 deal. Our U.S. Editor-in-Chief, Mike Prospero can attest to how great it is because he wears it every day. Its large AMOLED display makes it easy to read while you're on the go, plus it has super long battery life and built-in music storage. Being a sports watch, it also tracks your activity and can help you keep on top of your fitness goals.

Allow me a quick detour from deals to talk about Tom Brady's smoothie recipe. Fitness Writer Jessica Downey drank the same smoothie as Tom Brady every morning for a week to great results. This quick and easy breakfast recipe helped her feel satiated and increased her protein intake. Best of all, it tasted great.

For anyone who wants to jump on the smoothie train, I'll share some deals on the best blenders. The Breville Super Q Blender is $460 at Amazon ($89 off) for Black Friday if you're ready to splurge. Or the Ninja Professional Plus for $71 at Amazon is a great blender with plenty of power for shoppers on a smaller budget. This one is $48 off (remember to click the on-page coupon for the full discount.)

This is global editor in chief Mark Spoonauer sitting in for Louis to help you this Black Friday season. Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether a Black Friday deal is just hype, but there's one great tool that a lot of people don't know about. It's called CamelCamelCamel, and it lets you track the price history on virtually every product that Amazon sells. 

Let's take one of the most popular headphones as an example. Right now the the Sony WH-1000XM4 is listed at $248 on Amazon, which is a very good $100 off. But last year these cans crashed to $228. So it could pay to wait a bit longer for the price to drop even more. CamelCamelCamel will tell you at a glance the lowest and highest price ever, so you can decide whether to shop now or later. 

My Amazon Echo Show is starting to show its age. It's now going on 6 years old and its 7-inch display is on the small side. Which is why this Black Friday deal is intriguing to me. The Amazon Echo Show 10 is now on sale for just $159 at Amazon when paired with a Ring Smart LED bulb. This saves you $104 overall, which is a pretty good bargain.

This smart display offers a bigger and crisper 10-inch display, and it can even rotate and follow you around the room during video calls. Plus, you get robust audio from the base of this device. Because the Echo Show 10 is a smart home hub, you can control the Ring Smart LED bulb via Alexa, as well as other devices around your abode. 

When our audio editor recommends a deal, I pay attention, because Lee Dunkley has over 20 years of experience testing products. And this Amazon Black Friday deal is perfect if you're looking for a new Bluetooth speaker. 

Right now the JBL Flip 6 is on sale for just $89 at Amazon. That's $40 off the regular price. The JBL Flip 6 balances compact size with impressive audio quality, and it's also fully waterproof and dust-resistant. It packs 12 hours of battery on a full charge. Lee especially likes the pleasantly rich bass and upgraded Bluetooth connectivity. 

If you follow Tom's Guide you probably know that we very rarely give a product 5 out of 5 stars. But the Samsung S95C OLED is one of those awesome exceptions.

As you'll see in our Samsung S95C OLED TV review, this QD-OLED TV achieved a perfect score, thanks to its stellar picture quality and 30% higher brightness than its predecessor. We also like the One Connect box for easily switching inputs and the 144Hz refresh rate for gaming. The S95C 55-inch is just $1,899 at Best Buy right now, which is $400 off and a great Black Friday TV deal. 

Good Morning! Black Friday has arrived, and while seasonal sales have been live for several weeks already, we're expecting to see some exclusive deals that were held back for the day itself. But before those appear, let's highlight an Adidas deal that's been running for a little while but is still worth considering. 

Right now, you can get the Adidas Terrex AX4 hiking shoe for just $33 @ Amazon that's a saving of up to $87 off a pair of rugged hiking shoes. If you're wanting to venture outdoors over the holidays, these shoes are an essential purchase. 

Adidas Terrex AX4 hiking shoe: was $120 now $33 @ Amazon 

Apple's entry-level iPad features an A13 Bionic CPU, 10.2-inch (2,160 x 1,620) LCD, 8MP camera, 12MP front camera, and an epic battery life of nearly 12 hours. Currently, Amazon has the 256GB model on sale for $100 off, which is an all-time price low. 

We rank the iPad 10.2-inch as one of the best cheap tablets you can buy. In our iPad 10.2 (2021) review, we had almost nothing but praise for this device due to its excellent performance and overall ease of use. Now at this reduced price for Black Friday, it's a real bargain. 

10.2" iPad (WiFi/64GB): was $479 now $379 @ Amazon

This particularly tasty deal was spotted by our own Kate Kozuch who swears by the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven for all her outdoor cooking needs. This 8-in-1 oven is currently down $130 off the normal price. And you can score an additional $30 off via the coupon on the product page before you head to checkout.

Unlike the popular Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill (the similar names are confusing, I know) the Outdoor Oven works as a pizza oven. It can reach up to 700 degrees on electricity, which is plenty hot to make a fresh pie. There are even several presets that assist in the cooking process, including specific settings for thin crust, deep dish and frozen pizzas.

The Pixel Stand 2 is an unobtrusive little wireless charger from Google with a few neat tricks up its sleeve. Not only does this turn your Pixel phone into a miniature smart display, the Pixel Stand 2 is the only charger capable of unlocking 23W wireless charging on the Google Pixel 8 and other Pixel devices.

Right now you can pick up the Google Pixel Stand 2 for $59 at Amazon. That’s $20 off the normal price, and means the charger is now actually a reasonable price. If you're a Pixel phone owner, it's a no-brainer.

Google Pixel Stand 2: was $79 now $59 @ Amazon

Ever thought about making YouTube videos? If you have, you'll want to check out some of the best camera deals we've spotted so far. But, visuals are only one side of the story — you're going to need to think about audio, too.

And today is absolutely the day to get hold of the best kit at a reduced price. Right now, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen has dropped down in price by 12% to $89. It provides content creators with a reassuringly easy recording process thanks to the high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters. The Scarlett connects to any laptop via a USB 2.0 cable, doesn't require a separate power source, and is capable of 48v phantom power to the attached mic. 

Because we can't resist a plug, you can find our own Tom's Guide YouTube channel here, be sure to subscribe!

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface: was $101 now $89 @ Amazon 

Hey, everyone! Deals editor in chief Louis here again. Who's ready for some Black Friday deals?! So the moment everyone's been waiting for is finally here. I've taken a quick glance at some of today's offers and they aren't THAT different to sales I saw on Thanksgiving Day. That said, I did spot some new price drops here and there. So let's get to it......!

Shop all Amazon Black Friday deals right now

If there's one thing I recommend buying on Black Friday it's a new TV. To be fair, you'll find great TV deals year round. But TVs are just the rockstar of every Black Friday sale and price lows you see on Black Friday rarely show up again during the new year. I bought my first OLED TV around this time last year and I think it's one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. I got the LG C2 OLED based on our managing editor/TV expert Nick Pino's advice. He's running a live blog of all of today's TV deals which I recommend you follow (even if you're not buying a new TV, it's worth a read). 

Black Friday TV deals live blog

Here at Tom's Guide, we love pizza — especially our editor Mike Prospero, who oversees our best outdoor pizza ovens page, and who's cooked more pizzas than he can count. (We're still waiting for our invitation, BTW). For Black Friday, the pizza oven he likes best of all — the Ooni Karu 16, is on sale for $639 at Amazon, a discount of 20% off its regular price.

In his Ooni Karu 16 review, he loved the fact that he could use wood, charcoal, or gas to heat the oven as well as its large cooking surface, big enough for 16-inch pizzas, steaks, and even bread baking. But, this is also Ooni's most expensive oven, so now's  the best time to pick it up. 

I miss my old Nespresso machine. When it comes to speed and convenience, they're just hard to beat. And the coffee tastes pretty solid too. Right now Amazon is knocking up to 30% off a wide range of Nespresso machines. After discount, prices start from $109, which if my memory is correct, might be the cheapest price I've seen in years for a Nespresso machine. If you're not sure which machines are good, our homes editor/expert Katie Mortram has a list of the best Nespresso machines she's tested and a giude to the top Nespresso Black Friday deals live today.

Nespresso deals: from $109 @ Amazon

Coupons are a great way to make a good deal into an amazing one. However, a lot of times, retailers tend to hide them or make them easy to overlook. (Eyes on you, Amazon). So the amazing Tom's Guide vouchers team have put together an A-to-Z guide to Black Friday coupons with codes for retailers like Lenovo, Ninja, AT&T, and more. There's also some general buying advice that I've added for big retailers like Best Buy and Target. Check it out via the link below.

The Apple Watch SE is selling at its lowest price ever right now. To be honest, even I wasn't expecting it to get this cheap. In her Apple Watch SE 2022 review, smartwatch/wearable expert Kate Kozuch said Apple's entry-level watch makes total sense as your first Apple Watch or even as a starter watch. At this price, it's a no-brainer of a purchase if you've always wanted an Apple Watch on your wrist. 

Apple Watch SE (2022): was $249 now $179 @ Amazon

This 10,000mAh portable charger from Anker has a built-in USB-C cable, making it the perfect accessory for charging up an iPhone 15 quickly. We also like how it has a battery status display, so we always know whether it's juiced up. This is a great portable charger to have in a pinch.

Anker Nano Power Bank: was $49 now $34 @ Amazon

This is the first price drop we've seen since we reviewed the updated QuietComfort Headphones model that launched in October. These come with enhanced sound, more features, and the same celebrated noise cancelation as their QC45 predecessor. The $100 Black Friday saving brings the headphones down to an all-time low price and deserves to be snapped up before the offer ends.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $249 @ Amazon

Lowest price: The LG C3 OLED is one of the best OLED TVs you can buy. In our LG OLED C3 review, we highlighted its perfect blacks, stunning contrast and rich, accurate colors. It's also great for gaming thanks to its Game Optimizer features and 120Hz refresh rate. Add in Dolby Vision/HDR 10/HLG support, four HDMI 2.1 ports, built-in Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant/Apple HomeKit support, and LG's Magic Remote and it's no wonder we awarded it an Editor's Choice.

LG C3 65" 4K OLED: was $2,599 now $1,596 @ Amazon

This bundle includes the 16GB version of the excellent Kindle Paperwhite alongside a fabric protective cover and a power adapter. You've got a choice of Agave Green, Black or Denim Blue when it comes to the cover and the 16GB space will hold enough books to keep you reading for a long time yet.

Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle: was $204 now $184 @ Amazon

The Ooni Fyra 12 was the pizza oven that first got us hooked. This is a wood-pellet-powered pizza oven that can reach temperatures of 950º F, and fit pies up to 12 inches in diameter. It measures 29 x 28 x 15.5 inches when assembled, and weighs just 22 pounds, which makes it great for taking on camping trips and tailgates. At $244, this is the lowest price we've seen on this oven.

The new USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2 has the same H2 chip as the other AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. That provides 2x more noise cancellation than the original model, and this 2023 version supports Apple's new lossless audio protocol that will debut with the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset in 2024. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the premier phone in Samsung's new Galaxy S lineup, and it's getting an instant discount of $300 courtesy of Amazon. With a 200MP camera lens, it's one of the best camera phones around. The S23 Ultra is also a seriously fast phone thanks to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, and its 13-plus hours of battery life marks a serious improvement over the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: was $1,199 now $899 @ Amazon

LOWEST PRICE! The Polaroid Now Gen 2 is currently $30 off at Amazon, the lowest price we've ever seen it go for. This camera features autofocus, a self-timer and a mode for double exposures. As an instant camera, it also features a built-in printer for retro-styled prints that you can physically display or share.

Polaroid Now Gen 2 i-Type: was $129 now $99 @ Amazon

The M3 MacBook Pro replaces the 13-inch model for prosumer enthusiasts, and with $150 off, this offers fantastic value for money. Not only are you getting great performance and battery life from the new M3 chip, but you also get all the goodness of that 14-inch Pro frame — including that 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR display and an expanded port selection.

M3 MacBook Pro (14-inch): was $1,599 now $1,449 @ Amazon

Black Friday is a great time to look for deals not just on hardware, but also subscriptions to some of the best streaming services. One of the deals that caught our eye is this one, which gets you Paramount Plus for $1.99 a month for three months. This is the service if you're a fan of Star Trek, as well as Tyler Sheridan spinoffs like 1883 and 1923. 

And, it also gets you access to live sports, such as NFL live streams, with NFL on CBS games. If you're in the U.S., you can also watch UEFA Champions League live streams. 

If you want to get Showtime, you can bundle that with Paramount Plus for $3.99 a month for three months.

Our audio editor, Lee Dunkley, has an impeccable ear for music, honed over more than 30 years testing all manner of headphones, speakers, turntables, and more. So, we asked him for this three favorite earbuds that will appeal to those who want the best for sound quality.

One of his top picks? The Sony WF-1000XM5, which are are the top of our list of the best wireless earbuds. They're smaller and lighter than their predecessors, have amazing ANC, and outstanding audio quality.

Sony WF-1000XM5: $248 @ Amazon 

Looking to take a break from all your Black Friday deal shopping? The first Black Friday NFL game is airing now on Prime Video, so if you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can watch the game for free, which starts at 3 PM ET. If you live in the New York or Miami areas, you can also watch it over the air if you have one of the best TV antennas.

Today's game pits the Miami Dolphins vs. the New York Jets; at the beginning of the season, when Aaron Rodgers was healthy, this looked like a pretty compelling matchup. Now, we're curious to see how many points the Dolphins can put up against the Jets, who benched the woeful Zach Wilson, and are starting Tim Boyle instead.

Some of the most popular items on sale for Black Friday are video doorbells, and Ring's video doorbells are at the top of the list. But, Ring sells about half a dozen models, so which is the best for you? If you're looking for a wired video doorbell, our pick would be the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, which is currently $100 off on Amazon. Not only is this a compact model, but it offers head-to-toe video, package detection, and other features that give you a better sense of where people are on your property. Want even more of an endorsement? It's the model we have on our door.

The Fitbit Inspire 3 is our pick for the best budget-minded fitness tracker in 2023. And right now, it's a whopping 30% via Amazon, or just $69. That's the lowest we've seen it listed for, well, ever. So, what makes this diminutive tracker a TG's favorite? You get ten days of battery life, a bright AMOLED screen and plenty of useful workout, health and sleep monitoring functions. The Inspire 3 is also lightweight, making it one of the most comfortable trackers to wear 24/7.

The Apple Watch is a great gift because it's exactly the kind of thing an Apple user could use, but would never buy for themselves unless they had a spare $400 lying around. 

So whether you need to pick up a gift for an iPhone user on your list or just want to save $70 off a new Apple Watch 9 for yourself, now's a great time to take advantage of Amazon's Black Friday sale knocking nearly 20% off the price of a new 41mm Apple Watch, which we rate as perhaps the best smartwatch on the market. Note that right now only the Silver and Midnight (i.e. black) models are on sale, and availability may vary.

The thin bezels of Samsung's The Frame QLD TV may seem like a schtick, but there's undeniable appeal in having classy artwork (or whatever images you want) showing on it when not in use.

My sister has one and loves it, and right now, the 55-inch 2023 model is on sale at Amazon at a significant 35% Black Friday discount. That's a great price for this 4K QLED TV, which sports a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support and an anti-reflective display coating to make it easier to watch in bright light.

Just a reminder that Amazon still has the new blazing-fast M3 models of Apple's 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros on sale for hundreds of dollars off.

That's ultimately a minor discount on these cutting-edge MacBook Pros, but that's to be expected given they just came out earlier this month. If you had your eye on one but were waiting for a sale, this is likely the best (non-member) discount you'll get on one this Black Friday – and you can save $150 off the entry-level MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 or $250 off the bigger, more powerful MacBook Pro 16-inch M3 Pro!

14" MacBook Pro (M3): was $1,599 now $1,449 @ Amazon
14" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro): was $1,999 now $1,849 @ Amazon
16" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro): was $2,499 now $2,299 @ Amazon

If you need a killer OLED TV for someone you love or yourself, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than the LG C3 OLED, and right now Amazon still has a few sets on sale for Black Friday at a solid 20% discount.

That knocks $550 off the price of a 65-inch LG C3, which is one of the best OLED TVs on the market with all the stellar brights, inky blacks and incredible contrast ratios of a good OLED panel. I own the older C2 model of this 64-inch 4K TV and I love it so far.

There are some solid Apple deals still available on Amazon as we power through Black Friday, and one you shouldn't miss is the 20% discount offered on a new iPad mini 6.
These pint-sized iPads are built to fit in one hand and great for reading, browsing the web and giving to kids, and now's a great time to grab one since you can save $100 off the cost of a new model with 64GB of storage. The deal is still available on all four colors, too: Space Gray, Pink, Purple and Starlight (Champagne Gold).

This one's really good if you're looking to save big on a pair of noise canceling headphones!

Even though there are more notable premium headphones, like the AirPods Max or Sony WH-1000XM5, the Beats Studio Pro still manages to hold its ground thanks to Amazon's 51% off deal for Black Friday. In fact, it's the lowest price it's ever been on Amazon.

Massage guns are some of the best gifts you can give to someone, which is why you'll appreciate the extra savings with Amazon's deal on the TheraGun Mini.

For Black Friday, there's a $50 off savings on it, which equates to a 25% off discount. It's still an incredible offer given how the TheraGun Mini does an excellent job at helping you ease achy muscles, or even when it's used right after intense workout sessions.

Gen Z's favorite water bottle, the Hydro Flask, is also our choice as the best water bottle for travel in 2023. Normally $49, you can pick one up right now for 30% off or just $34. That's a great price for this cupholder-friendly, dishwasher-safe, super-insulated vessel. Built from stainless steel and featuring a leakproof straw lid, it also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Everyone can use a little extra digital storage space. And SanDisk's Extreme Portable SSD is a TG favorite. The device is ridiculously small, rugged and fast. More importantly, it's plenty reliable — which is why we chose it as the best versatile hard drive for 2023. Best of all, the 2TB model is 33% off right now, knocking the price back to just $99. I just added one to my cart, and you should too.

We are hugely impressed with the Fitbit Charge 6, something you may have gleaned from our recent review of it. We even chose it as the best overall fitness tracker of 2023 in our buying guide. 

And during Black Friday, this high-tech little wearable device is selling for just $99 via Amazon for a savings of $60 off retail. Not too shabby. We like this one for its bright screen, excellent suite of health and fitness tracking features, built-in GPS, small, lightweight design and solid battery life.

There's nothing quite like a physical print to help remember a special memory. And right now, Fujifilm's pocket-friendly Instax Link Mini smartphone printer is on sale for just $79, marked down from $99 from Amazon. This bundle also includes a 10-pack of Instax Mini film along with a book of creative printmaking ideas. This is the perfect little device for transforming your favorite smartphone snaps from the screen to the physical.

Everyone loves a soft, comfortable hooded sweatshirt. And Carhartt makes some of the absolute nicest ones around. They also happen to be super trendy at the moment. What's better than looking cool while being cozy? If you feel me, then this deal is for you: Men's Carhartt Loose Fit Midweight Logo Sleeve Sweatshirts are 25% off via Amazon, bringing the cost down to just $41. There's also an enormous range of colors to choose from and no shortage of sizes.

Here at Tom's Guide, we're a little nuts about our clicky mechanical keyboards. Then again, this is a team of nerdy writers covering tech. Nevertheless, if you've never had the pleasure of using one, or it's been a while, the Keychron brand is an excellent entry point, both in terms of price and design. And $47 for the Keychron C1 Pro is a smoking hot deal for a piece of tech that delivers no shortage of tactile satisfaction.

Working towards new fitness goals? A decent smart scale can help keep you informed of key health metrics along the way, making it easier than ever to track your progress. The best smart scale on the market is the Withings Body Plus. Normally $99, you can pick one up during Black Friday for just $69. 

We're fans of the Withings for its sleek, stylish design and the class-leading amount of health data it collects. We also appreciate the easy-to-navigate companion app.

Every cyclist needs a good set of headlights, even if you're not exclusively riding in the dark. After all, it's crucial to see and be seen. Of all the models we've tested here at TG, the NiteRider Lumina OLED 1200 Boost is among the best bike lights you can own. Better yet, it's heavily discounted for Black Friday. Ordinarily priced at $179, this super high-power lamp is just $85 at the moment.

We love the NiteRider for its strong output, build quality and solid battery life. The user interface is also best-in-class thanks to an OLED info display on top.

Forget fancy Bluetooth speakers from Bose and Sony. The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 Portable Speaker offers similarly high-quality sound from a diminutive package for significantly less cash. At $62, it's already a serious bargain. But for Black Friday, it's down to just $47. 

Not only does it sound great (and get loud), but it's also water-resistant and easy on the eyes. I write this while jamming out to the sweet sounds of Explosions in the Sky pulsating out of my brand-new Stormbox Micro 2.

What's more fun than celebrating the holidays by blasting fellow family members with Nerf darts? Prepare for an all-out battle of the foam-tipped projectiles, because for a measly $19, you can supply up to six people with Nerf blasters and let all hell break loose. Just try not to break your mother's fine china.

Of all the items in my car safety kit, few provide peace of mind like my Noco Boost Car Jump Starter. This portable little device has gotten me out of several sticky situations when I inadvertently left lights on. It's also dead simple to operate: turn it on, attach the clamps, hit boost and start your engine. 

The battery charges via USB. And a full charge has more than enough power for several rounds of car jump starts. It also holds its charge exceptionally well. I paid close to retail for mine ($124), but you don't have to. Grab one now for just $79 from Amazon.

If you're a coffee lover who also appreciates instant gratification, then this deal is for you.

Normally $149, this Italian cutie is just $109 during Black Friday.

Hello, this is Philip Michaels, the managing editor for mobile, and I'll be handling this Amazon Black Friday live blog for the next couple hours, until we wrap up coverage for the evening.

Let's start out with a deal that's in my mobile phone wheelhouse, and take a look at the Google Pixel 7a. This is the latest midrange phone from Google and while it doesn't have the latest Tensor G3 chipset, the Tensor G2 still supports a lot of smart features like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur.

Amazon is selling the Pixel 7a for $374, a $125 drop from the regular $499 price. That makes the Pixel 7a — already a top value — an even greater bargain. It certainly  takes the sting out of the price hike that Google assigned to the Pixel 7a when the hone launched this summer.

After a few years of injury-induced sedentariness, I'm looking to resume my hiking activity, so I'm very interested in Amazon's sale on Skechers Go-Walk Slip-On hiking shoes in men's sizes. They promise comfort and stability with enhanced traction and a memory foam insole cushion that suggest I'll be able to tromp around the wilderness without my feet taking a pounding.

Discounts vary based on size and color scheme, but the black Go-Walk hiking shoes in my size 10 happen to be 23% off the regular $84 price, for a total of $64.

The Pixel Watch is no longer the new kid on the smartwatch block. This fall, we saw the Pixel Watch 2 introduce a new heartbeat sensor, stress detection capabilities, more workout tools and battery life improvements. It's  step forward, but not a huge one, so if you can find a significantly discounted Pixel Watch, the lower price would be a nice trade-off for not having the latest features.

Well, Amazon has a pretty significant discount — the Pixel Watch is 43% off, brining its price to $199. That's a very tempting price if you've been put off by the high cost of smartwatches, but want to give one of these health-tracking devices a try.

A lot of us have been concerned with early bird specials the last few days. But what about people concerned with actual birds? For them, we present the Bird Buddy, a smart bird feeder that also happens to be discounted at Amazon righ now. 

The Bird Buddy's price has dropped to $209 from $279 at Amazon, a 25% discount. For that money, you get a feeder equipped with a camera that snaps photos and videos of any fine feathered friends who stop by for a bite to eat. A companion app can give you more info about the birds detected.

For my money, the latest version of the Tile Pro is the best key finder, with extensive range and consistent performance that has yet to be beat in my testing. And you can now get the Pro for less money than before, thanks to a sale at Amazon.

Specifically, the Tile Pro costs $24 at Amazon right now, which is $10 off its regular $34 price. That also puts the Pro at the normal price for the Tile Mate (which also happens to be on sale at Amazon).

Key finders are great stocking stuffers, and this is an attractive price if you're looking to give someone a small, but useful gadget that helps them track down missing objects from their phone.

Tile Pro 2022: Was $34 now $24 @ Amazon

You're running out of time to save on the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 at Amazon. The retailer says only a few models of the 2-in-1 laptop remain available at a discount.

Now, a 6% price drop to $580 may not seem like much, but it is the lower price the Surface Pro 7 has seen in a while. So if the sound of Microsoft's 2-in-1 laptop appeals to you — and we did appreciate its strong performance at the time of its release — then you should act now.

It's may not be the first thing you think about when you buy a new phone, but PopSockets provide some much-needed utility while you're handling your device.

The nice thing about them is that they're already cheap to begin with, while providing you with a better way of holding your phone with one hand. On top of that, they help prop up your phone while you're watching a video or something. They also make great stocking stuffer.
