Amazon isn’t the only one with deals on Prime Day. If you’re looking for alternatives to shopping at Amazon, Walmart is currently featuring many of the same deals, like the Apple Watch Series 8, the SteelSeries Arctis Prime gaming headset, and the second-generation Google Nest Hub. We’ll continue to update this roundup with more deals as they become available, but you can always check out our collection of the best Amazon Prime Early Access deals for an overview of what’s available.
The 41mm configuration of the GPS-enabled Apple Watch Series 8 is currently discounted to $349 (normally $399) in its silver, red, or black colorways. The 45mm model is also available for $379 (normally $429) in its red, starlight, or silver colorways. Read our review.
Another great Apple wearable deal is Walmart’s $189 asking price for the original Apple Watch SE in gold ($90 off). The second-gen SE has already arrived to replace this model at a price of $249, but this is a great deal on this watch with most of the innards of the still-good Apple Watch Series 6.
For Android users, the 42mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in either black or silver with Bluetooth and GPS is $199 (about $150 off). This smartwatch came out last year, but Samsung is keeping it in the lineup with the newer Galaxy Watch 5, and it’s now the lone holdout with the excellent, physically-rotating bezel. This price from Walmart actually beats Amazon’s exclusive deal, which is selling for $219.99. Read our review.
Originally priced at $99.99, Walmart and other retailers have discounted the second-gen Google Nest Hub to $54.98, matching its lowest price ever. The Nest Hub operates similarly to the Amazon Echo Show but is powered by Google Assistant instead of Alexa and even offers more unique features like sleep tracking. Read our review.
You can currently get the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 Plus with a 10-pack of film for $49 at Walmart. The bundle typically costs $67 and is available in a variety of vibrant pastel colors.
Normally, the 128GB configuration of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 costs $329, but it is currently discounted at Walmart to $229, the lowest price yet for the capable 10.5-inch tablet. It may not have the same chops as newer models of the Apple iPad or Samsung’s Tab S8 lineup, but the A8 still serves well as a streaming device and e-reader.
The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 initially sold for $379 but are currently discounted at Walmart and other retailers for $269, matching their best discount to date. Boasting excellent noise cancellation and voice call clarity, the Headphones 700 also feature multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, making them one of our favorite pairs of noise-canceling headphones.

The Elgato Wave:1 condenser microphone is usually priced at $79 but is currently discounted to $49 at Walmart. The simple microphone features a single button to adjust pickup levels and quickly mute yourself and can be further tuned using Elgato’s software.
The SteelSeries Arctis Prime headset is currently discounted to its best price ever at Walmart. The wired gaming headset is usually priced at $65.86 but is on sale for $39. If you’re in the market for a headset that’s comfortable and capable, the Arctis Prime is worth checking out.
LG’s 27-inch UltraGear gaming monitor is currently on sale at Walmart for $179 instead of its usual $229 price — the best discount yet for the FreeSync-compatible monitor. The UltraGear monitor is an excellent choice for competitive FHD gaming, one that boasts a 1ms response time and is capable of refresh rates up to 165Hz.
The Ecovacs Deebot N8 Plus is typically priced at $649.99 but is currently discounted to just $349.99 — its lowest price to date. The vacuum-mop hybrid is equipped with an auto-empty bin, is capable of running for up to 110 minutes at a time, and can intelligently navigate its surroundings.
