What is Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 is a 48-hour sales event that will start at midnight PT (3:00 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, July 16 and end at midnight PT (3:00 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, July 17. During that short window, members will have a chance to save big on thousands of popular items, including smartwatches, TVs, camping gear, golf tech and so much more from many of our favorite brands.
New deals will be added each day, and you’ll need to move quickly to grab them before they’re gone. Many of the best deals are Prime Day exclusives that will expire when the sales event ends.
