This week brought good sales on Apple and Amazon devices, as well as some intriguing gaming deals. The Apple Watch Series 5 dropped to $299 again after WWDC kicked off earlier this week and Amazon still has some of its Echo speakers on sale (including the handy Echo Dot with clock). You can grab some extra storage for your Nintendo Switch for less at Newegg and Steamās Summer Sale has just begun. Here are the best deals we found this week that you can still get today.
Apple Watch Series 5
The latest Apple Watch has dropped to its lowest price ever again at Amazon and Walmart. The GPS-only Series 5 is $299 right now and the GPS + Cellular models are $399. This comes right after Apple announced a bunch of new features coming to the wearable in watchOS 7 later this year, including sleep tracking, watch face sharing and automatic hand-washing recognition. We gave the Series 5 a score of 88 for its new always-on display, built-in compass and international emergency calling.

iPad mini
The latest iPad mini is $50 off again: Amazonās sale knocks the price of the 256GB WiFi-only model to $499 and the WiFi + Cellular model with the same amount of storage to $629. While the base iPad mini isnāt on sale, this is a good deal if you knew youād need more storage on Appleās smallest iPad. We gave the iPad mini a score of 85 for its powerful performance, improved display and good battery life.

Echo Show 5 + Blink Mini bundle
Amazonās Echo Show 5 bundle is a good way to get started with smart home monitoring. It combines the Echo Show 5 smart speaker with Amazonās new Blink Mini security camera for the sale price of $65. This is a solid deal considering the Show 5 typically costs $60 to $90, and the Blink Mini normally costs $35. The video feed from the Blink Mini feeds into the show 5, so you can see whatās going on in any part of your home.

If youāre in need of a new pair of wireless earbuds, a few options from Sony remain on sale. The WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds are still going for $178 at Best Buy and Amazon, or about $50 less than their normal price. We praised these ANC earbuds for their good sound quality, long battery life and useful mobile app, giving them a score of 89. Both Best Buy and Amazon have the Sony WF-SP800N wireless earbuds on sale for $168 as well. These are sportier than the 1000MX3s and they earned a score of 88 from us for their solid ANC and powerful bass.

Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C adapter
You can grab Ankerās 7-in-1 USB-C adapter for $30, which is $20 less than its normal price and the lowest weāve seen it since March.

SanDisk 256GB microSDXC card + $50 Nintendo eShop gift card
Newegg has a bundle that gets you a 256GB SanDisk microSDXC card plus a $50 Nintendo eShop gift card (email delivery) for $95, which is $10 less than if you were to purchase both separately. This one of SanDiskās Nintendo Switch-specific microSDXC cards, and because of that (and itās high capacity) it rarely drops below $52 on its own. This is a solid deal if youāve been eyeing a few games on the eShop and need extra space on your Switch to store them.

Buy 2 Nintendo Switch games, get a microSDXC card free
Target has a promotion that includes a free 128GB SanDisk microSDXC card when you buy two Nintendo Switch digital games. Of course, you must pick from a selection of games, and most of them are first-party: titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 are included. Youāll pay full price for the games as none of them are discounted, but a microSDXC card worth $33 is a solid freebie.
