Nearly 30 are at their lowest price of the year or longer.
Prime Day's here, and there's genuinely good stuff right now. Most of these deals run through June 26, with a handful going to the 30th. You'll need Prime for the real prices, and a free trial works fine if you're not a member yet.
This list is made up of some things already in our rotation, some are newer versions of things we use, and the rest are items we've been waiting to catch on sale.
✓ We cross-checked every price and prioritized the ones at their lowest of the year.
With summer here, we also leaned into warm-weather finds: Outdoor gear, cookout upgrades, and a hiking boot to get you out of town.
→ Another smart move: check your most frequent purchases to see what's on discount. The best deals are the ones saving you on things you're definitely going to buy anyway. And check out our Cost per Wear Calculator and article to better determine if something is worth it for you.
A freebie worth grabbing while you're here: 3 months of Audible Standard free, plus a $20 credit.
We'll be updating this post as new deals drop so check back throughout the sale.
Highlights
Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans, $39.98 $84.95
Lowest price of the year. / Save $44.97 (53% off)
The one pair of jeans that has outlasted every trend cycle since 1873. We made the case for the straight-fit 501 a couple of years back, and at its lowest price of the year, the argument writes itself.
Bulova Archive Series Lunar Pilot Chronograph, $272.36
Lowest price in a couple of years.
The only watch besides the Omega Speedmaster worn on the moon, for a small fraction of an Omega's price. We've been featuring for years as the affordable moon watch as the affordable moon watch, and it's the cheapest it's been in good awhile.
Sony SS-CS5M2 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), $153.00 $279.99
Lowest price in a couple of years. / Save $126.99 (45% off)
These are the newer M2 version of the Sony SS-CS5 pair I have, long considered as some of the best speakers you can get for the cost. The update is a revised tweeter and crossover for smoother highs and cleaner mids, with the same proven woofer and bass underneath.
The Daily Stoic, $10.38 $29.00
Lowest price of the year. / Save $18.62 (64% off)
A one-page-a-day stoic reader, 366 short entries built to start the morning with a clear head. At 10 bucks it's an easy gift to yourself.
Dockers Classic Fit Workday Khaki Pants, $37.99 $80.00
Lowest price of the year. / Save $42.01 (53% off)
Even though they're called workday pants, I grabbed them as a budget casual chino: a looser cut in a dark tan, and the stretch makes them genuinely comfortable all day. Dress them up to business casual when you need to, or throw on a black tee and sneakers for an easy summer outfit.
Samsonite Freeform Hardside Carry-On, $83.99 $219.99
Lowest price of the year. / Save $136.00 (62% off)
A hardshell spinner that fits the overhead and takes a beating from baggage handlers. At 62% off, it's the bag you finally retire the cracked one for.
Anker Nano MagSafe Power Bank, $42.99 $59.99
Lowest price of the year. / Save $17.00 (28% off)
Thinner than a deck of cards and it snaps onto the back of an iPhone with MagSafe. I ran this all over Tokyo this spring, and with it on, my phone still fits in my front pocket.
Style
Amazon Essentials Resort Knit Shirt, $17.78 $23.70
Lowest price of the year. / Save $5.92 (25% off)
I picked it up about six weeks ago and it's become my favorite go-to summer shirt, I get complimented on it every time I wear it, and it's dirt cheap. Plus it's cotton, which is one of my requirements for a shirt this cheap.
Levi's 555 Relaxed Straight Fit Jeans, $37.48 $74.95
Save $37.47 (50% off)
The roomier cousin of the 501, more relaxed through the thigh. I've been wearing them in a faded black and an off-white for a drapier, modern fit, and I like them.
Nautica 6-Inch Deck Short, $27.52 $59.50
Lowest price of the year. / Save $31.98 (54% off)
Six inches is my sweet spot, between the common 7-inch and the slightly-too-short-for-me 5, and at 97% cotton they wear like a lightweight, soft chino. A year-low at $28, more than half off.
Amazon Essentials Linen Blend Shirt, $17.16 $20.20
Save $3.04 (15% off)
Finding affordable style that also has a little character to it (and that isn't completely made out of plastic) can be a challenge. This linen-blend shirt, which is 55% linen and 45% cotton, has a refined, almost Todd Snyder-like pattern for the cost of a quick lunch.
Brooks Brothers Carnegie Leather Oxford, $218.79 $299.00
Lowest price of the year. / Save $80.21 (27% off)
A proper full-grain oxford for the occasions a pair of jeans will not survive, the funeral being the obvious one, the wedding being the same event with better catering. It's Blake-stitched, which means it can be resoled instead of thrown away, a quality I admire in a shoe and aspire to in myself.
Citizen Eco-Drive Sport Casual Chronograph, $213.17 $270.20
Lowest price of the year. / Save $57.03 (21% off)
Solar-powered, so you never have to crack it open and perform surgery on a battery.
Randolph Engineering Aviator Sunglasses, $220.15 $259.00
Lowest price of the year. / Save $38.85 (15% off)
Hand-built in Massachusetts to military pilot spec, the American-made answer to a pair of Ray-Bans. They almost never go on sale, so a year-low is the moment to grab a pair you'll keep for decades.

Lowest price of the year. / Save $8.50 (25% off)
Started using this about two months ago when I grew my hair out longer and more textured and my stylist recommended it, and it's been the easy pick since: strong but pliable hold, smells good, and never heavy.

The party trick is that it folds to a third its size when empty, so it stops eating your storage shelf. Heads up, this one's a pre-order with a later ship date. But I'll be honest: I hate having to store a full-size cooler for 99% of the time, and every time I see this thing, I want it.
