Sometimes lighting does strike twice. Don’t believe us? Take the best Amazon Prime Day deals 2022 has to offer as an example. This year, the ‘Zon decided to double down on its tentpole shopping event by introducing a sequel, and boy is it a doozy. So if you’re here, you’re probably not just looking for any old Prime Day deals. You, friend, are looking for the best Amazon Prime Deals as curated by a hyper-discerning GQ Editor. And you’re in luck: Each year, we spend a sleepless night or two (and a couple of long days in between) unearthing exactly that—our very favorite picks from the Everything Store’s annual deals extravaganza, delivered straight to the top of your inbox.
And this version of APD—or the “Prime Early Access Sale”, if you’re the insufferable type—is no different. Except, well, it kind of is. Because as Prime Day has metastasized into an event zealous deal-hunters treat like an actual holiday, it’s become increasingly difficult to separate the “eh, no thanks” from the “holy shit, you need to buy this”. Which is where we come in. You know that hyper-discerning taste we were talking about before? This is exactly the type of situation that demands it.
If you’re a grizzled Prime Day veteran, you know we’re not the only operation touting our curatorial bona fides. Lists like these are a dime a dozen. We can’t promise quite the same degree of depth as some of our counterparts. (The downside of discerning taste, after all, is a certain degree of finickiness.) What we can promise, though, is that every deal on this list has been carefully, deliberately hand-picked by us—and not just because it’s on sale. And over the last 24 hours, we’ve scrutinized thousands of products in an effort to make good on that promise. Whether you’re looking for best in class menswear staples, cutting-edge gadgetry, apartment-elevating home goods, or even non-Amazon competitor deals, you’ll find something on sale at the Site That Bezos Built worth considering—and if you dig GQ’s perspective on all things style and grooming, chances are you’ll dig the selection here, too.
Oh, and if you’re a Prime Day newbie utterly bewildered by the whole rigmarole—and thoroughly nonplussed by our long-winded spiel—don’t fret: we put together a dedicated explainer to help you make sense of it all.
Since Amazon likes to add (and subtract) product deals throughout the day, we’ll be updating this post until the well of the best Amazon Prime Day deals 2022 runs dry, when the event ends Wednesday night. Our favorite newly-discounted products will be at the top, so bookmark this page (people still bookmark pages, right?) and come back throughout the day to see what other worthy steals turn up.
Just want to start shopping already? Keep scrolling. In the market for something specific? Check out all of our Prime Day Deals coverage broken out by category directly below.
