Normally $50, you can pick up the Amazon Echo Auto for just $15 on Amazon today. That’s an impressive savings of $35. The Echo Auto brings Alexa to your car, so you can ask Alexa to play your favorite road trip tracks, get the news, make calls, set reminders, and much more. It comes with a handy vent mount and connects to the Alex app to play sound through your car speakers or your phone’s Bluetooth connection — but it doesn’t work with all cars and phones, so check the compatibility list on the product page before purchasing this deal. Best of all, you won’t have to shout, as the Echo Auto has eight mics and uses far-field technology, so it can hear you even with the A/C cranked up full on a busy road.

Normally $100, you can nab the Amazon Halo wellness band for just $70 today on Amazon, saving $30. Available in Winter + Silver, Blush + Rose Gold, or Black + Onyx, the Amazon Halo is a simple, no-fuss fitness tracker that boasts a slim, lightweight, unobtrusive style. Weighing just 18 grams and with a screenless design, it’s so unobtrusive you’ll forget you’re wearing it. It tracks all the important metrics, aided by a gyroscope, accelerometer, and heart rate sensor, plus two mics for voice analysis. It even tracks your sleep, analyzes your mood via Tone Voice analysis, tracks body fat, and gives you points for every minute you’re active. The battery lasts up to a week with normal usage and is fully charged in just over an hour. On the downside, there’s no GPS, privacy is a concern with some features, and the lack of a screen may be a dealbreaker for some. However, with $30 off, this is an amazing deal for those looking for a basic fitness tracker.
