Amazon deal of the day: The Garmin Instinct 2 is down to its lowest price ever
The best Amazon deals on April 3 include the Garmin Instinct 2, Sonos Ace, Google Nest Floodlight Cam, Roomba J9+, and Echo Show 5 Kids.
With Amazon's Big Spring Sale officially in our rearview, we're pleasantly surprised at the number of deals still hanging around at the mega retailer. If you totally missed out on the sale, all hope is not lost. We've rounded up a few of the best deals we could find post-sale to keep the fun going.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on April 3. If none of these are catching your eye, be sure to check out our picks from yesterday, April 2, as well. Many of those are still live, including the Sonos Arc soundbar for $300 off.
Our top pick: Garmin Instinct 2
Not your average fitness tracker, the Garmin Instinct is "ideal for serious navigators, ultra-athletes, and solo trekkers who spend a lot of time outside and in rugged conditions," Mashable's reviewer writes of the first generation smartwatch. Now in its second generation, the Instinct 2 offers even more detailed health monitoring and smart notifications, a three-axis compass and barometric altimeter for highly intricate tracking and navigation, plenty of built-in sports apps, and an unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode (thanks to solar power). It typically goes for $399.99, but as of April 3, it's down to $229.99 at Amazon. That's 43% in savings and its best price to date.
Sonos Ace
Less than a year old, the Sonos Ace are the brand's first foray into headphones. And unsurprisingly, they rule. Aesthetically a 10, they also sound exceptional and offer great spatial audio and a 30-hour battery life with ANC. The ear cup seal could be tighter, but ultimately, Mashable Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern still said she would recommend the Sonos Ace to "true audiophiles who value incredible sound quality above all else." Sadly, they didn't get a discount during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, but as of April 3, they're 16% off. Grab a pair for only $379 instead of $449.

iRobot Roomba j9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum
The iRobot Roomba j9+ is essentially an upgraded version of the j7+, which we've sang our praises for quite a bit. Built for homes that requires more heavy duty vacuuming, the J9+ features iRobot's strongest suction power. Not to mention, it has the most reliable small obstacle avoidance we've tested, which means it won't eat your chargers and get stuck on your rug tassles when you're not around. Sure, it could do a better job at edge and corner cleaning, but for someone looking for more hands-off robotic help, you won't be disappointed. Did we mention it also has a self-emptying dock that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris before needing human intervention? Snag it on sale for just $499 instead of $899 and save 44% as of April 3. That's its lowest price on record.
Amazon Echo Show 5 Kids
One of the only Amazon Echo deals still hanging around, the Echo Show 5 Kids is down to just $74.99 as of April 3. That's 25% off its usual cost. Now in its third generation, the latest version of the smart display offers an upgraded speaker system, double the bass of its predecessor, and more clarity for calls, music, audiobooks, and more. The display is just 5.5 inches in size, but that's why it's such a great fit for a nightstand or desktop. The kid-friendly design also delivers homework help, explicit lyrics filtering, parental controls, and a one-year Amazon Kids+ subscription out of the box.
Google Nest Cam with Floodlight
Get a better glimpse at what's happening around your home when you're away or asleep with Google's Nest Floodlight Cam. A particularly good pick for dedicated Google users, its built-in intelligence features can send you alerts through the Google Home app to let you know whether there's a person, animal, or vehicle approaching (no subscription required). It also packs 180-degree motion detection and super bright LED floodlights that automatically light up with activity. Grab it on sale for just $199.99 instead of $279.99 post-Big Spring Sale and save 29%.
