Don't miss out on these great Labor Day deals on everything from smartwatches to outdoor cameras and beyond.

Labor Day weekend is almost upon us, which means that there are plenty of great sales already happening and going into this weekend. Whether you're shopping for a new smartwatch, laptop, or outdoor camera, all of these devices and more are available at reduced prices this week. Don't miss out on the opportunity to take $100 off a new Samsung Galaxy Watch, save hundreds on a 2020 MacBook Air, enjoy a 28% discount on an Amazon Echo, and much, much more.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 puts you in control of your fitness with a durable sports band and the best from Samsung. Get it for $100 off.

It's hard to go wrong with any sort of Samsung device, including their smartwatches. Whether you're looking for a new fitness and workout aid or a better way to keep track of your vitals, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is worth a good long look.

For many people, the main draw of smartwatches is their ability to aid and abet the wearer with their health and fitness goals, whether counting daily steps, keeping tabs on body fat and bone density, or tracking progress across various workouts. And this Galaxy Watch is well-suited for all these tasks and more.

Samsung's health app is very comprehensive, allowing you to track a huge variety of workouts and activities. You'll be able to track and record your sleep patterns and measure heart rate, ECG, steps, blood oxygen, and even body composition---not just your body fat levels but skeletal muscle, metabolic rate, and more. The Auto Workout Tracking feature is also great for tracking your performance across various exercises, including running, HIIT workouts, rowing, and even swimming.

Health and fitness aren't the only factors in this Galaxy Watch's favor, either. Google Assistant is now available on this smartwatch, so you know you're getting quick access to the best of Google and Samsung on one single device.

It's also equipped with enhanced GPS and voice navigation, making it easy to find your way whether you're walking, biking, or driving. And with a more durable sapphire glass face and minimalist look, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will suit just about any outfit you might wear, no matter how casual or formal.

The MacBook Air with M1 might be getting a little older by this point, but it's still a great machine even today --- and with this discount, there's never been a better time to get into the macOS ecosystem.

The Apple 2020 MacBook Air might be three years old, but that doesn't mean it's outdated or useless. Quite the opposite, in fact. This laptop is absolutely still worth buying; there's a reason it's one of our favorite MacBooks of 2023 despite its (relative) age.

If you're already plugged into Apple's macOS system via either iPhone or iPad, you'll find this computer especially convenient. You can access your apps from these devices directly on the laptop itself and receive calls and texts directly on your new laptop. If you upgrade from an older Mac computer, all your current apps will work on this laptop, including Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud.

Even if you aren't already an Apple user, there are still plenty of benefits to this MacBook. Its Retina display ensures that text, photos, and videos appear as crisp and clear as possible on the 13.3-inch screen. And with 8GB of memory, 256GB of hard disk storage, and Apple's M1 processor, you'll be able to perform daily tasks on this laptop with plenty of efficiency and speed.

To round it all off, the battery can last up to 18 hours before it needs to be recharged. So, if you're looking to buy a new laptop but don't want to shell out thousands of dollars on the newest model, don't miss out on this chance to buy the Apple 2020 MacBook Air for under $1,000.

Set alarms, stream music, watch shows, video chat with loved ones, display digital photos, and more with the Echo Show 5, and get a nice discount to boot.

Devices that serve more than one function are often wise investments, since they're not only extra practical but give you better bang for your buck as well. That's why Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is a worthwhile purchase even at full price, so you won't want to miss out on this chance to buy it for less.

This latest and greatest version of the Amazon Echo Show 5, released earlier this year, boasts many improvements on an already handy product. The bass is deeper, and the overall sound is noticeably clearer than the previous generation while maintaining the same 5.5-inch display screen that provides enough space to clearly display content without taking up too much space on your nightstands or countertops.

The Echo Show is an extremely multifunctional device. Thanks to the built-in camera, it can make video calls to other devices with an Alexa app or other Echoes that have a screen, as well as streaming shows and movies. It's also able to play music, display digital photos, check the weather, set an alarm or timer, and more.

If you have other smart devices in your home, like a smart thermostat, you can use the Echo to control them, even when you're not at home. And as a bonus, the Echo Show 5 is Alexa-compatible, so you can perform most of its functions with nothing more than your voice.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is an Android-powered tablet with a 10.5-inch display, quad speakers, and DeX support. Get it at its best price today.

Tablets are a nice middle ground between laptops and smartphones, offering greater portability than the former and a larger viewing screen than the latter. If you're in the market for a new Android tablet, it's hard to go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.

Offering 128 GB of storage and a 10.5-inch LCD screen, this tablet is a great choice for adults and kids alike. Adults will appreciate its 1200 x 1920 resolution, USB Type-C port for charging port, and headphone jack, allowing users to pair this tablet with headphones even if they don't own wireless earbuds. And children will enjoy access to Samsung Kids, a pre-installed library of fun, educational, kid-friendly games, books, and videos.

If your other electronics are part of the Galaxy ecosystem, pairing them to your new tablet will take no time at all. It'll "talk" automatically to your other Galaxy devices. But even if you use another operating system, such as macOS, never fear— the tablet's Smart Switch feature allows you to move all your data and files over to your new Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 in just three steps.

If you want to level up your home security, these Blink Outdoor Cameras are super convenient and half off right now.

Outdoor cameras are one of the most efficient ways to add some extra security to your home, and the Blink Outdoor Camera (3rd Gen) is an excellent option for just about any living space.

Not only do you get two HD cameras plus a Sync Module 2, allowing you to cover a wider area or your back and front doors at the same time, but they're both wireless, so you aren't limited to placing them near an outlet in order to function. The two AA lithium batteries required to power the cameras come included with your purchase, which should last you two years before they need replacing.

These cameras are specifically designed for outdoor use; they're weather-resistant to better hold up under the elements, be it rain or sunshine. (Though you can certainly place one or both inside if you prefer.) Both also have two-way audio, so you're able to not only see visitors in real time but speak to and hear them as well, plus infrared vision for equally clear viewing at nighttime. And if you download the Blink Home Monitor app to your smartphone, you'll receive motion alerts even when you're not at home.

Better yet, you shouldn't have any issues putting the Blink Outdoor Cameras into place, no matter how inexperienced you might be with tech or DIY projects. No wiring or professional installation is required, and you should have them set up and monitoring your home within just a few minutes.

The abundance of deals going into Labor Day weekend means that there are plenty of other discounts on various electronics, devices, and tech accessories. This week, you'll also be able to save hundreds on a Skytech gaming PC, enjoy half off a Case-Mate iPhone 14 Pro case, get the best price on a Garmin Venu 2S smartwatch, and much more.
