We've rounded up the best early #PrimeDay deals we've found right here—on Amazon and other retailers—and we'll keep this story updated ahead of the main event which will be available on October 12 and 13. Shopping our links helps our journalism. wired.trib.al/3DHKze6

★ The Google Pixel 6A Unlocked Android Smartphone for $349 ($100 off) is our favorite Android phone, and it also earned our top pick as the Best Cheap Phone. This deal is a match of the best discount we’ve seen. 📸: Google #PrimeDay wired.trib.al/IV12BDD

★The SteelSeries Prime Wireless Mouse for $70 ($49 off) is our favorite gaming mouse! It's snappy and responsive, and satisfyingly clicky. The wireless range is impressive and reliable, and it moves smoothly on just about any surface. 📸: SteelSeries wired.trib.al/I9llNAT

★ This is the lowest price we have ever seen on this Staples FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair for $140 ($60 off). It reclines and has a headrest, and the mesh allows for good airflow. It does the job very well.

The Echo Glow Night-Light for $17 ($13 off) is a good deal. Although it's a bad sunrise alarm, it’s a decent nightlight. It’s meant for kids, though it also works well in a guest room, especially when Alexa speakers double as sound machines. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/OSRJhNV

★ The Apple iPad Mini 64-GB Tablet for $400 ($100 off) looks like an iPad Pro with slimmer bezels and a smaller, 8.3-inch screen. Its portable size makes it great for traveling. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/iuHd8PM

★ The Fire HD 10 Tablet for $75 ($75 off) is a match of a low price we’ve only seen. The Fire HD 10 is our favorite Amazon tablet. It’s best for light browsing or watching videos, but it's powerful enough to do some very light work tasks. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/Iq74qYU

The Google Nest Audio is Google's direct Echo competitor, and it fares extremely well. It has a compact, pillow-like shape and great sound that will easily fill small and medium-sized rooms. 📸: Google wired.trib.al/IiLay35 2/7

There are louder speakers and some that are more portable, but no smart speaker is a better buy than the Sonos One right now. It sets the bar in a number of areas, including sound quality, stable multiroom audio, and smart-home utility. 📸: Sonos wired.trib.al/1qXbtuc 3/7

How did a 17th-century shopkeeper make a microscopic lens in his spare time that surpassed the world's greatest by an order of magnitude? 🎨: Ariel Davis wired.trib.al/ngQ033S 1/11

In 1674, Dutch fabric seller named Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek made an astonishing discovery. While examining algae with his homemade microscope, a creature with green scales, about a thousand times smaller than a mite, darted across his vision. 2/11

He reported his findings to London’s Royal Society, and two years later followed up with an update. This update would make him a scientific legend. It was so extraordinary that microbiologists refer to it simply as “Letter 18.” 3/11

The Samsung QN90B 55-Inch QLED 4K TV for $1,348 ($250 off) is our favorite for bright rooms. It puts out an extraordinary amount of light, so it's easy to see, and it supports up to 120 frames per second, making it a great pick for gamers. 📸: Samsung 2/6 wired.trib.al/qbpsaT3

If you like a satisfying snap when you're clicking heads in a first-person shooter, the Roccat Kone Pro Air gaming mouse for $71 ($28 off) is for you. It offers over a hundred hours of battery life and a 19K dots-per-inch sensor. 📸: Roccat 3/6 wired.trib.al/WaBR2Fk

Now's a great time to upgrade your TV, speaker system, or computer. Shopping from these links supports our journalism and saves you money. We've even found discounted Bluetooth speakers, tablets, and more. 1/6 wired.trib.al/KNBXfAp

We're huge fans of the TCL 6-Series for $800 ($200 off), which ranks as our best TV for most people for multiple generations. At this price, it's an excellent buy for a 65-inch screen. 📸: TCL 2/6 wired.trib.al/ELGPpNe

There is a newer model available, which explains why these KEF LSX Speakers for $1,000 ($250 off) speakers are discounted right now. They'll fill your room with high-fidelity tunes, and you can connect to them via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.📸: KEF 3/6 wired.trib.al/3DxxqfI

Let’s get one thing straight: If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best wearable for your buck. But that opens up another BIG question for any savvy consumer—which version should you buy? wired.trib.al/MQGGiiW 1/6

If in doubt, buy an SE. It’s Apple's entry-level option and while it doesn't have the flashiest standout features, it is compatible with WatchOS 9 which is where many of the latest and most exciting fitness features show up. wired.trib.al/MQGGiiW 📸: Apple 2/6

If we’re being honest, the latest Series 8 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best watch for most Apple users, especially people who menstruate or want to track their fertility. wired.trib.al/MQGGiiW 📸: Apple 3/6
