The hunt for electronics deals is a constantly changing one, as retailers and brands raise and lower prices in response to all sorts of factors. At the core, though, are the detailed reviews that PCMag’s experts write daily. I refuse to recommend a product that hasn’t been extensively tested by my co-workers, because I know that they are thorough, unbiased, and have decades of experience. It’s my job to take those high-quality items and find the deepest discounts, and that’s what we have here: five great products at price cuts of up to 50% off.
There are plenty of smartwatch brands on the market, but one that often runs under the radar is Garmin, which made its name in GPS before venturing into wearables. We gave the Venu Sq an Editors’ Choice award in our review, with watch expert Angela Moscaritolo saying it easily lapped the similarly-priced Apple Watch SE and Galaxy Watch 5, with better battery life, tons of fitness tracking tools, and a big, bright display. Geolocation is a big part of the feature set, with over 25 built-in indoor and GPS sports apps to track a wide variety of exercises, as well as preloaded and customizable workout routines. Even if you’re not a health nut, cool features like mobile payments, weather forecasts, and other stuff make it worth the cash.

One of the most important metrics we evaluate in our TV reviews is brightness. Without a potent enough backlight, your screen can be washed out or even unusable when the sun is out. That’s why we were so dazzled by the TCL QM8L in our review that we gave it an Editors’ Choice award and a first-ever Lab Test Winner award. This is the brightest TV we’ve ever tested, with color quality and contrast to match, even when viewing from the diagonal. It’s a powerhouse that excels for streaming, gaming, and sports. We even praised the remote control, which has backlighting, a customizable shortcut button, and a rocker switch that adjusts brightness without opening a menu. Best Buy has it on sale for 30% off.

There’s no mobile device that looks like the Nothing Phone (3), and it packs enough cool functionality to match its design. Made by a British company looking to stand out as an alternative to the big brands, it’s made from 100% recycled aluminum with Gorilla Glass 7i protecting the 6.67-inch AMOLED display. Peak brightness of 4,500 nits is outrageously good. On the back, there are solid cameras and the unique Glyph Matrix, an array of 489 micro-LEDs that display text and visualizations. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor is powerful enough for high-end mobile gaming, and both battery life and charging time also impressed us. You can read our full review for all the details.

We love it when companies take big swings, and the Saros Z70 is an absolutely wild take on the traditional robot vacuum, with a five-axis robotic arm protruding from the top. That mechanical limb is used for all kinds of things while it cleans your floor. It can pick up objects as heavy as 10.58 ounces and deposit them in pre-selected areas, so if you leave your socks everywhere, it’ll take them back to the bin. You can also manually control the robot arm while it’s cleaning, using the onboard camera with an app on your phone to target items. In our review, we were impressed by how well it navigated, never getting stuck in all of our tests, as well as having good battery life.

If audio quality is just as important as visuals in your gaming life, you should really pick up a high-quality headset. Luckily for you, the excellent Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is on sale for 49% off right now at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen it. We have a detailed review of this model, with high praise for its exceptional active noise cancellation, which effectively blots out the world to give you peak concentration. We also liked the dual swappable batteries, letting you charge and play at the same time, and the microphone was clear and responsive. At almost half off, you can’t go wrong with this one.
