Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a nice discount on the Product RED version of the Apple Watch Series 6 that brings the high-end smartwatch down to $339 on Amazon. That’s not an all-time low, but it’s $60 off Apple’s MSRP and about $30 off the going rate we’ve seen online in recent weeks. Other colors are available for $10 more, but either deal is a nice price on what is arguably the most full-featured smartwatch for iPhone owners.
Elsewhere, our roundup has deals on Samsung microSD cards, the Apple Pencil, loads of video games, Roku media streamers, and much more. It’s probably too late to ship many last-minute gifts in time for the holidays, but you can check out our full roundup below.
