4. Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire (51mm): $1,099.99 $899.99 at Amazon

One of the best Garmin watches that money can buy, the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) comes complete with an AMOLED display and durable stainless steel construction, loads of unique software tools, and up to 31 days of battery life (in watch mode). You even get a built-in LED flashlight. The only problem is that it's quite expensive, which is why we're excited to see an 18% discount on the 51mm Sapphire Edition.

Price checker: Garmin - $899.99 | Best Buy - $899.99

5. Amazon 40" 2-Series Fire TV: $249.99 $149.99 at Amazon

If you want a compact, no-frills smart TV that doesn't skimp on quality features, this 2-Series Fire TV is a good pick. You won't get 4K, but the 1080p HD still looks great, plus you get HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Audio support alongside instant access to all of your favorite streaming services.

The best part is that the Amazon's Memorial Day sale has dropped the price of the 40-inch smart TV to only $150. That's the cheapest that it's ever been!
