Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day? (kbin.social)

What the title says. Every year I hear everyone at work go buzzing about Prime Day, and then when I'd go check what items were on sale they were mostly cheap gaff and a bunch of minimally discounted tech products. Am I missing something that's optimal to get around this time of year?

If you’re into new Apple stuff like the watch series 8 or AirPods Pro 2, those are pretty good deals

As an iPhone owner, I’m not sold on dropping 280 or whatever on a watch. Is it really that useful to people?

Yeah that’s fair, and to be sure I don’t engage with mine as frequently as say an iPhone. But for the things I do use it for… mainly activity-related stuff, weather, at a glance notifications… I really appreciate it.

I have a series 6 watch and it is very useful. I can check the time, the weather, and my parents timezone with a glance. It's nice to control my music without taking my phone out of my pocket, and I enjoy the fitness rings. I'm not a big sports/outdoory person so I can't speak to how useful it is in that regard. I will say though, I would probably wait until the series 9 comes out because it's expected to be the first time since the series 6 that they're significantly improving the efficiency of the chip.
