Amazon and Best Buy’s official eBay storefront offer the Lenovo 21.5-inch 1080p LED Monitor (model LI2264D) for $79.99 shipped. (Also available direct from Best Buy). That’s good for $70 off the original MSRP, down $30 or more from the regular going rate and the lowest that we’ve seen by $5 on this 4.6/5 star rate display with almost no bezels.

Features include full 1080p resolutions at 75Hz and 178-degree viewing angles on the IPS display. HDMI and VGA inputs can be found on the back. It also has an “ultra-thin” design that’s perfect for multi-monitor setups. Rated 4.6/5 stars.

Update (11/14 12:10pm): The deal is no longer available via Amazon, but Staples is still live.

Amazon offers its Prime members Apple’s 5th generation 2TB Time Capsule for $199 with free shipping. Not a Prime member? Sign up for a free trial (you’ll need it for Black Friday/holiday shopping, anyways). If for some reason you’re opposed to Amazon, the same deal is also available at Staples. It typically sells for $299 and has never been priced lower on Amazon. What’s more, today’s deal matches the retail price of the less-capable AirPort Extreme.

This versatile piece of networking gear blankets your home with fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi and is a wireless 2TB hard drive that can seamlessly backup your family’s fleet of Apple computers via Time Machine.

Use your savings to buy your own cable modem so you can drop those pesky monthly rental fees from your ISP and increase network performance.

After getting an early look at a number Black Friday 2016 ads already thus far, we are starting to see some of the major players step up including Staples, Sears, and now Target. The national retailer has now unleashed a massive 40-page ad detailing all of its biggest deals of the season from electronics to home goods and more.

Target is already (and will be) offering free shipping on all orders from now through the holiday season. Doors will be opening at 6pm on Thanksgiving Thursday. As always REDcard holders will be receiving the usual benefits including an extra 5% off. Here are some of the highlights from the flyer:

You can finally get your hands on the Apple Watch Nike+ edition as of this morning. It includes the same features as all other Series 2 models, plus exclusive watch faces, Nike+ Run Club app and the biggest difference of all, a special perforated Sport Band.

Apple has announced that it will not sell the Nike+ bands separately, but don’t worry because Amazon already has you covered. There are a bunch of options currently available, most of which are from no-name companies using Apple stock imagery, which is never a good sign. However, we were able to find one option we think could be worth your time.

OULUOQI is selling a knockoff Black and Volt Nike+ Sport Band in 38mm and 42mm for $20.99 Prime shipped. We’ve been following OULUOQI’s knockoff Apple Watch bands on Amazon for the better part of the past year, we’ve even reviewed a bunch, and found their quality to be pretty impressive considering the super low price points. So if you’re feeling adventurous and need that Nike+ look, we’d recommend going with OULUOQI. We’re planning to review this model and a couple others, so be on the lookout for that.

Best Buy has a selection of Monowear Apple Watch Bands in 42mm or 38mm for only $9.99 shipped. That’s between $50 – $70 off the original list price (depending on the band) and the lowest we can find for them. It’s also more than $20 off the lowest Amazon listing for the same brand.

Styles for these watch bands vary from natural browns, black and silver to really personalize your look. They feature a solid construction for style and comfort and also come highly rated from Best Buy shoppers.

Best Buy offers the first generation 42mm Apple Watch Sport in Space Gray (model MJ3T2LL/A) for $219 shipped. For comparison, this model originally sold for $399 and still fetches $280 at Target. Today’s deal is a match of the previous popular deal price and the best available. You can save even further by going with an open-box model in ‘excellent’ condition for $199 (scroll down to buying options).

The first generation Apple Watch connects with your iPhone for notifications, fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring and more. Although the latest model has a few more bells and whistles, it’s tough to beat the popular Space Gray Sport version at this price. Of course, Apple just recently released watchOS 3 that includes a few popular new features and remedies some complaints from the first generation model.

For comparison, it has a list price of $199 in new condition and typically sells for $129 direct from Apple as a refurb (currently out of stock).

Daily Steals is offering the new condition iPhone 5s 16GB GSM Unlocked in grey, silver or gold for $279.99 shipped. That’s about the price you would expect to pay for a refurbished model and the lowest we’ve seen.

Note: Unlocked cell phones are compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile as well as with GSM SIM cards (e.g. H20 and select prepaid carriers). Unlocked cell phones will not work with CDMA Carriers like Sprint, Verizon, Boost or Virgin.

We actually couldn’t find another retailer offering a new one, but as a pricing comparison the iPhone SE unlocked starts at $399 at Target and other retailers.  So whether you’re looking for your kids first iPhone or an emergency/backup phone this is a great choice. This small sleek phone can call 911 in case of an emergency even without a sim card, has GPS (both unlike an iPod touch) and “find my iPhone” capabilities for tracking and runs the latest iOS 10 software.

If you’re more interested in the idea of a prepaid phone, you can grab Straight Talk’s iPhone 5s 16GB 4G LTE for $149 shipped right now. You can get a great deal on case for it too. eBay has the OtterBox Commuter Wallet Series right now for only $15 shipped

Update (9/21 5:515pm): You may need to select Amazon as the seller to get the discounted price of $39.49 for the Black model.

The arrival of watchOS 3 has drastically improved Apple’s wearable. So much so that you’ve probably fallen back in love with Apple Watch and are going to bring it everywhere with you now. That’s where the Twelve South TimePorter comes into play. Currently on sale for just $39.49 in Black or White, this Apple Watch travel case and charging stand typically sells for $50. This deal is the first meaningful price drop we’ve seen since it was released earlier this year. Free shipping is available for Prime members and on all orders of at least $49.

TimePorter is a practical travel case for Apple Watch, safely storing a charging cable, extra bands (prices have really fallen), USB charger and other small accessories. When you get to a hotel just insert your charging puck into the top opening and TimePorter turns into a multi-angle charging stand. Rated 4.4 out of 5 stars from Amazon reviewers.

While it doesn’t include a power source, you can use your savings from today’s deal to buy this mini USB power bank that’ll fit right inside TimePorter.

It’s not even iPhone 7 pre-order day yet and T-Mobile has already dropped an amazing deal for the updated smartphone.

New and existing customers can get an iPhone 7 for free with the trade in of an iPhone 6/6s. T-Mobile will hand you up to $650 in monthly bill credits over a 2-year time span, which covers the cost of a 32GB iPhone 7. If you’re looking at a more expensive model like one with more storage or iPhone 7 Plus, you’ll be required to “pay a little more upfront.” The effective value of this offer is well above what you can expect from traditional trade in services.

T-Mobile’s free iPhone 7 promo is slated to go live at the same time pre-orders officially open on September 9 at 12:01am PT. You can pre-register now to receive a notification as soon as the offer goes live. Once you lock in your new iPhone, all you need to do is buy a case (especially for Jet Black!) and you’ll be ready for launch day. Amazon already has a ton of options available. But if you can’t find anything you like there, then be sure check out our roundup from yesterday for more options.

Unlike nearly every other gadget, your Apple Watch is a direct reflection of your personal style. As such, its band should be as carefully considered as your belt or shoes. Sure a Milanese Loop band looks sharp when you’re dressed to the nines during at formal events, but it just isn’t as practical when working out or partying. That’s why it’s important to have several bands at your disposal. Apple offers a range of different bands, however in typical Apple fashion, they are either expensive or really expensive.

The good news is companies like Clockwork Synergy are producing top-quality Apple Watch bands at affordable prices. The better news? You can save 20% on every band the Maryland-based watch accessory maker sells right now (excluding sale items) by entering coupon code 9to5toys20 at checkout.

Clockwork Synergy was catapulted into the spotlight last week when it released (and quickly sold out!) a rainbow-colored Pride Apple Watch band just like the one Apple gave its employees. But that’s not the only popular style the company sells. You’ll find a host of 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch bands include 2-piece NATO, leather and silicone. All of which qualify for today’s 20% discount and free shipping. Most of the nylon bands will only run you $20 shipped, which is significantly less than Apple’s asking price of $49.

I’d suggest grabbing this Red, White and Blue 2-Piece Classic NATO band to show your support for team USA during this year’s summer Olympics.

During the lead up to WWDC there was some optimism Apple would finally release a new external Display, but that hope quickly disappeared. Apple quelled all rumors last night when it announced plans to discontinue the Thunderbolt Display and recommended prospective buyers check out 3rd party options. There’s a chance Apple could release an all-new monitor at some point down the road, but given Apple’s recent shift away from professional products, it wouldn’t be surprising if we never see another display come out of Cupertino.
