In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Refurbished Sonos Play:1 for $119, Apple Watch Series 3 from $229, 9to5Toys Products of the Year, more…

Sonos is one of the best systems to buy into if you’re wanting to expand your home’s smart speakers. The connectivity they provide is next to none, and the audio quality is always great. Currently, you can get a Sonos Play:1 Wi-Fi-enabled speaker for $119 in refurbished condition, and they normally go for up to $199. Don’t worry, you’ll receive a full one-year warranty with your purchase.

If you’ve yet to pick up an Apple Watch, now’s one of your last chances to score a great discount before Christmas comes. Best Buy is offering the Series 3 Apple Watch from $229 in various sizes, colors, and configurations. The Series 3 still offers many great features and is a very viable option when picking up your first Apple Watch. Be sure to swing by the sale (or your local Best Buy) to lock in the savings.

It’s that time of year again, and as 2018 comes to a close we’re taking a look at our Products of the Year. From Smart Home accessories to drones, eBikes, security systems, LEGO kits, and more, we’ve got it all covered in our 9to5Toys Products of the Year guide.
