A marketplace seller has “encouraged” Amazon’s own price-bots to price-match, they are offering the new condition Lenovo Gaming Mouse Mat, model GXY0K07131, for $7. The only catch is that this is an add-on item, so you must needs place a $25+ order to get it – regardless of Prime membership status. The restrictions applies to all, including Prime members. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 40+ customer reviews.
Casio Edifice Tough Solar (EQS500DB-1A1) for $165
Time won’t stand still! The whole analogue versus digital watch thing is just another one of those things the internet fuels and propagates. Truth is, you don’t have to pick a side. You can like both. You can wear both. You can even wear both at the same time. Two wrists and plenty of space between the elbow and the wrist 🙂
Okay silliness aside, if you are looking for a tough-looking solar-powered (I love the idea of not having to change batteries and not having to recharge a watch; it just works!) watch, the new condition Casio Men’s EQS500DB-1A1, part of the Edifice Tough Solar stainless steel series is on sale for $165 with free shipping with a maximum of three per customer at the sale price by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown.
It has three dials and apparently can survive cloudly winters – the specs say that a full charge can keep it powered for five months without additional exposure to light. It averages 4 out of 5 based on 260+ customer reviews.
I’ve been using a solar-powered entry-level watch for a few years now. I just wear it when I’m outside and it has never run out of power. I haven’t visited the cornerstore watch guy for a new battery since then!
But I have also been “cheating” on it with a Fossil Q smartwatch 🙂

Only this color is on sale. The other color remains at $22.
It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on over 275 customer reviews and it has 23 answered questions.
As you can see in the picture below, this can be used as a briefcase or as a messenger bag, your choice…
Free $50 Gift Card with Fitbit Ionic for $299
For a limited time, you can get a FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card when you purchase the Fitbit Iconic smartwatch for its current price of $299. You have to manually add the $50 gift card to your shopping cart, along with the Fitbit obviously.
Amazon is making us work for our freebies 🙂 The Ionic averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 1460+ customer reviews.
PS: I have began my smartwatch adventures after years of resistance (because I didn’t want to be a frustrated alpha tester) with the Fossil Q Explorist (FTW4004; 3rd Gen).
Fossil 2nd Generation Smartwatch and Hybrid sale
The Fossil Q (second generation; aka previous generation) smartwatch is on sale for $123 and among a number of other FOSSIL smartwatches and hybrids that are on sale through Amazon. Note that you can change watchfaces, so the ones you see in the pictures are not the only options. In other words, don’t decide on a watch based on the advertised watchface.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that their second generation watches are NOT running Android Wear 2.0 (the latest version) and a number of them have a flat tire. So unless you are buying at a specific price-point, or don’t want to wait for further sales in the next few weeks/months, you may want to go for the newer models.
I have an in-progress review of their 3rd Generation Explorist running Android Wear 2.0 and without a flat tire. I don’t think I would be a happy camper without those two. Then again, it depends on how you plan on using the watch.
Saturday: refurbished Samsung Gear S2 for $100
One of the Amazon daily deals running until Sunday 3am ET (10/22/17) is the certified refurbished dark gray Samsung Gear S2 Smartwatch offered for $100 with free shipping, sold by a marketplace seller with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping.
This refurbished model averages 3.4 out of 5 based on 360+ customer reviews and has over 180 answered questions. This is a Tizen smartwatch OS device, but works with most Kit Kat and later Android smartphones.
I only recently finally gave in to the temptation to try out smartwatches with the Fossil Q Explorist, model FTW4004, an Android Wear 2.0 device. So far, I found it more useful than I had expected. Which is probably why I resisted for so long until the Watch OS matured more with Android Wear 2.0 🙂
New Arrivals: the Fossil Q Explorist Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches
The third generation of FOSSIL’s entry into the Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches is here! Four new models are now in-stock and shipping at at amazon.com, with the initial prices running from $255 to $275. As you can see in the pictures over there, there is a concentrated attempt to make them look more like watches and less like mini smartphones 🙂
If you are curious or interested in this, we have a text and pictures unboxing post for one of them four new models, it is the brown leather strap model, the FTW4004.

EACHINE E010 Mini UFO Quadcopter Drone for $21
It’s the Attack of the Budget Drones! Available in three different colors, you can get the EACHINE E010 Mini UFO Quadcopter Drone for just $21 with free Prime shipping (or $25+ order). It includes a remote control, but no camera. Hey, it’s only $21 🙂
The maker is selling it through their Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, thus the Prime shipping.
The gallery pictures and the product description give you a good feel of what to expect from this little gadget. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 1140+ customer reviews, where 12% of them are 1-star and 70% of them are 5-stars. That’s less than a 6:1 “review intensity ratio”.
Buy TWO Amazon ECHO devices for $280 total
If you are sold on the Amazon ECHO devices (not the new one with the touchscreen), you can use coupon code ECHO2PACK to get $80 off the purchase of two Amazon ECHO devices. They currently go for $180 each, so the coupon makes it $280 total instead of $360.
BUT if you are sold on the new “Echo SHOW”, and you are willing to buy two of them, coupon code SHOW2PACK cuts $100 off the order total. So it drops from $460 ($230 each) down to $360.
Amazon offers 5-month installment plan on FireTV (YMMV)
With more and more companies entering the fray of internet TV (YouTubeTV is now live in five major cities, Hulu is next, Apple is pondering), streaming boxes become more and more valuable, and unlike the dreaded cable boxes that are typically old, slow and you pay for them monthly anyway even if you don’t own them, they are yours.
And if you want to spread the payments over, Amazon is offering (to some customers, YMMV, I don’t know if everyone sees this) a zero-interest five-month installment plan. They take the price of the Fire TV which is currently $90, they divide it by five, and they charge your credit card that amount ($18) every month for the next five months.
If their computer offers this to you, you will see something like this on the product page (this with a desktop web browser):

Mechanical keyboard fans, unite and take over! This is a hot deal for a 104-key keyboard. It’s a combination of a sale AND a coupon! The 104-key Aukey with Blue Switches and LED lights is on sale for $40 sold by Aukey and fulfilled by Amazon, so it is Prime eligible. Then enter coupon code AUKEYBD6 in the shopping cart (that’s 28% off) over there, and the price drops to $28.79 with free 2-day shipping for Prime members!
This is a brand new model (which is why it is discounted to generate traction), so it only has three customer reviews so far, all posted in March 2017.
Email coupon: $10 off a $10+ purchase at CentralComputer
This is another brick and mortar coupon delivered by email. Regional computer store chain “Central Computers” is offering a $10 off coupon towards the purchase of $10+ to all their email subscribers. Check your emails or your spam folder if you are subscribed! The coupon is a unique promo code for each customer and can be used until 4/21/17 at 7:30pm local time. A very specific expiration date.
Partial screenshot of the offer below:
The coupon can only be used IN-STORE, not for online purchases. It can only be used once per customer and can only be used for items that are available (in-stock).
