Best Buy is getting a jump on rival Amazon’s Prime Day (June 21-22) with a number of daily “Flash Sales” that you can take advantage of right now, including solid discounts on Android TV and even the latest Apple Watch Series 6 (if you like red, at least).
You can expect that Best Buy will drop many more deals in the next few days as the Prime Day sales heat up. Below, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite deals as of Father’s Day (June 20).

Best Buy has been selling the Apple Watch Series 6 for $70 off, which was already a good deal. But right now, the 40mm Product Red version is marked down to $279 ($120 off). That may be the lowest price ever for this model, and it’s barely above the price for the stepdown Apple Watch SE. Featuring all of the health and sleep tracking and the fall detection function of that model, the Series 6 also sports an always-on display, a brighter screen and the FDA-cleared ECG heart monitor. You’ll also get six months of Apple Fitness Plus.

If you’re in the market for a no-nonsense health tracker that requires little maintenance, look no further than the Fitbit Versa 2. It can track heart rate, steps, distance, calories burned, activities and floors climbed. Combine those tracking features with voice control via Alexa, the ability to respond to phone notifications, plus compatibility to iOS and Android makes this one of the best fitness watches for the money. The Versa 2 can even help track your sleep. What it doesn’t have is a built-in GPS, requiring you to have your phone with you, in return expect to get a whopping five days of battery life. At one of its lowest prices we’ve see, it can make a perfect gift for any health enthusiast.
Electronic Arts
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is probably one of the best Star Wars games in recent times. Metacritic gave the game a score of 79 due to an intriguing plot, fantastic characters and satisfying lightsaber combat. Although not the lowest price we’ve seen, it is a bargain for any Star Wars fan. Included with your purchase is a free next-gen console upgrade: Enjoy the game on the PS4 or Xbox One now and experience it again on the PS5 and Series X/S down the road.

The WH-1000XM3 headphones were CNET’s top pick for noise-canceling headphones until the WH-1000XM4 version came out. These are still a fan favorite when it comes to performance and comfort fit. Now that the price has dropped to $250, this arguably might be the best balance of price and features you can get without breaking the bank. You can read more about these headphones in CNET’s Sony WH-1000XM3 review.

Get Dad something to take on his next adventure — like this GoPro Hero 9 Black action camera, now $70 off. GoPro went big on design and feature when it introduced the Hero 9 Black. Featuring up to 5K resolution, an upgradable lens, a front-facing screen for selfies, a bigger battery and even more shooting options than its predecessors, this is designed to be the no-FOMO camera. It’s a bit larger than the Hero 8 Black (also $50 off) but that’s a good thing, according to Joshua Goldman’s review. You can get it now for $380, and that includes a free “Platinum Explore accessory kit,” which is listed at a $30 value.
Razer
Getting tired of being snuck up on in your favorite game? That won’t be a problem anymore with this wireless 7.1 surround-sound headset from Razer. The Nari Ultimate has THX Spatial Sound and what’s called intelligent haptic feedback to give you the sensation of 360-degree audio. According to CNET’s Patrick Holland, the haptic feedback is a slight vibration effect generated by the special software to simulate directional sound. Combine that with a crystal-clear and retractable mic and you’ll be the envy of game night. This is one of the biggest markdowns we’ve seen for this premium headset.

Keurigs are awesome. They can quickly make coffee when you need a pick me up, the coffee doesn’t taste like groundwater and the cleanup is easy. They are however not great for the environment, unless you get one of these reusable K-Cup pods, and can look a bit bland on the kitchen counter. This limited edition Jonathan Adler K-Mini Coffee Maker however can brew a tasty cup of java while look exceptional stylish at the same time. Normally $100, it’s going for half off over at Best Buy, this is cheaper than the regular K-Mini. Any coffee-loving dad with an eye for design will appreciate this coffee maker, now only $50.

Previously, Google’s cloud gaming hardware has gone on sale when it’s bundled with a game. This time, however, Best Buy is pairing it with the Google Chromecast Ultra, and throwing in its Ethernet adapter to boot. You’ll need a beefy internet connection if you want to play in 4K, and the service requires a monthly fee. But even if you end up giving up on Stadia down the road, you’ll still have a Chromecast for watching video.
