Amazon is flagging items in its deals section as a “limited time deal” or “with Prime.” Since everything under these labels could be considered an early Prime Day deal, I have stuck mostly to Strategist-approved items that are marked down to extra-good prices.

Summer means sun, sand, and surf for many, but for us, it's all about savings, specifically on all of the brand-name, highly-rated, and heavily-discounted tech found at Amazon's annual sale.

Before Amazon unleashes its entire stock of Prime Day deals, the retailer has sneakily discounted a few surprisingly good items early. We took the time to carefully scope out the best of these pre-Prime Day deals and gathered them in the collection ahead.
