Treat yourself to something that you’ve been eyeing or consider starting your holiday shopping now. Kara Birnbaum / NBC NewsOctober Prime Day (technically called Prime Big Deal Days) is happening now through Oct. 7, offering tons of discounts on tech, exclusive to Prime members. That includes markdowns on earbuds, headphones, smartwatches and fitness trackers. Some of the top newly-added deals include 20 percent off Apple Airpods 3 and 50 percent off the Google Pixel Watch 3.

I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day tech deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.

I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days with editor-approved picks, so continue to check back for new additions.
