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.

$379

The latest Apple Watch Series model looks a lot like the prior Series 7 but now features car crash detection, a temperature sensor, and a low-power mode. It’s currently available to order in midnight, starlight, silver, and red.

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.

$189

Apple’s midrange wearable, the Apple Watch SE, serves as a step up from the Series 3, with features and a design similar to the last-gen 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.

$199

The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic features a nice physical rotating bezel and more third-party support by way of Google’s Wear OS 3. But keep in mind that it’s paired best with a Samsung-made phone.

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.

$54.98

The second-gen Nest Hub is Google’s smallest smart display, with a seven-inch touchscreen that can automatically adjust itself to the lighting in your room. What’s new in the latest version is its ability to automatically track your sleep patterns with its Soli radar chip.

$49

This adorable bundle includes the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 Plus camera and a 10-pack of film. The package comes in powder blue, mint green, coral, lavender, or pink.

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.

$229

The Tab A8 is a 10.5-inch tablet with 128GB of storage and is great for streaming your favorite shows or movies.

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.
