Different name, same basic concept: thousands of products across menswear, tech, grooming, home goods, kitchen gear, and just about every other category imaginable receive steep discounts. Like the original Prime Day, the October event is geared toward Prime members and has grown into a major fixture on the shopping calendar, with deals that can rival those you’ll see during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.What are the best things to buy on Prime Day?After more than a decade of covering Prime Day, our best advice remains the same: Buy the things you were already planning to buy. The event has a way of convincing otherwise rational people that they suddenly need a countertop ice maker or a tactical flashlight. The smartest move is to focus on products you've already researched, need to replace, or have been waiting to see go on sale.Historically, Amazon's own devices see some of the steepest discounts. That includes Kindles, Echo speakers, Ring doorbells, Fire TV streaming devices, and Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems. Prime Day is also one of the best times of the year to buy tech, with regular discounts on gear from Apple, Samsung, LG, Sonos, and other GQ-approved brands.As for menswear, we typically see strong deals on the wardrobe staples most guys actually wear: denim, sneakers, polos, T-shirts, underwear, and outerwear. Brands like Levi's, Calvin Klein, Dickies, and Lacoste tend to offload lots of inventory. You'll also find worthwhile discounts in grooming, particularly on electric razors, beard trimmers, and other grooming tools from brands like Philips Norelco and Braun.How long do the deals last?Amazon’s October Prime Day 2026 runs from October 6 through October 7, but that doesn't mean every deal is sticking around for both days. Some discounts will be available from start to finish, while others may last only a few hours.That's why it's worth checking back regularly. Amazon refreshes deals throughout the event, adding new markdowns and limited-time offers across categories. But if you've been waiting for a specific product to go on sale and the price looks right, there's no guarantee it'll be there tomorrow.Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?Yes, you must be an Amazon Prime member to access Prime Big Deal Day’s exclusive deals. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up for a 30-day trial.Word to the wise: If you’re not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will give you access to the event. After Prime Big Deal Days, there’s nothing stopping you from canceling your membership.Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?Prime Day is an Amazon-exclusive affair. But plenty of other retailers like to ride the coattails with their own competing sales. We’ll keep you posted on the best ones happening at the same time.Timex Deals So Good, Even Non-Watch-Guys See 'EmPrime Day Is Coming for Your Ratty Swim TrunksMichael Nolledo is GQ’s commerce director, where he leads operations for GQ Recommends and oversees coverage for all things menswear and style.
