Every Apple Watch model is on sale during Amazon’s big event. As is typical with Apple Watch sales, the pricing can vary a bit, depending on the size of the watch and even the type of strap you order. And since Apple produces so many combinations, you probably will need to hunt around to find the size you need with a strap you like. Try not to go crazy sorting through all the possibilities.

After you snag a new watch, be sure to check out our guide to the best Apple Watch bands and accessories you can buy.

We’ve been using the Roborock S7 Max robot-vacuum-cum-mop at home for a year or so, and while not perfect, it’s the best robot cleaner we’ve used. The S7 is Roborock’s high-end model, and is $300 off at $999.99.

The S7 includes a ton of features, like voice control and a great mapping app. But the best thing is the dock that empties the robot’s vacuum bin and water tank after cleanups. The robot can smartly the difference between hard floors and carpet, and tends to avoid getting tangled or stuck. With four pets that are constantly shedding, the S7 is our first line of defence. And though it often needs attention (like most robots) it does a good job of keeping our messy home fit for human habitation. — Leander Kahney.

The S7 MaxV with more suction power is discounted to $1,199.99.
