1. $50 off: The best running watch we’ve ever tested
Runners, rejoice! Right now, you can get our favorite running watch, the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music, for $50 off its usual $349.99 price tag at Amazon, where it drops to just under $300. This smart watch will keep track of your steps, sleep and workouts while also providing a handy weather report and calendar. It's also equipped with text and phone alerts at the ready. While its accompanying app is admittedly a bit disorganized, we love almost everything else about this device, from its comfortable wear and easy setup to its game-changing music feature, which allows you to play tunes without the use of your phone. It takes some time to connect to your favorite streaming service via WiFi, but we found it to be well worth the effort. Also of note? The large, easy-to-read display, which will show off all the stats you’ll need to stay motivated.

2. Save 15%: This internet-famous egg cooker
When it comes to getting in your protein, there’s few greater sources than an egg, and one of the internet’s favorite egg cookers—the Dash 6-Egg Rapid Egg Cooker—just so happens to be on sale. Now $16.99, this $20 machine has been vetted by more than 25,000 Amazon shoppers, not to mention our own Reviewed team. In testing, we found that it worked quite well for everything from hard-boiling to poaching, depending on your personal egg preferences—we even managed to whip up a light and fluffy omelet! While you’ll want to read the manual to ensure you’ve got the water levels just right, we found that it got easier and easier with practice. (The same was true of removing poached eggs from the trays without breaking them.) It’s also super easy to clean. All in all, we found it to be a handy little device—especially for those that eat eggs twice a week or more.

3. 29% off: This relaxing pool hammock with more than 6,500 reviews
If you’re ready to embrace summer with open arms, you can’t go wrong with this Aqua Deluxe Monterey Resort Hammock. More than 6,500 Amazon customers have left a review on this float, with 76% giving it a perfect 5-star review. Many called out its compact, lightweight size, which makes it easy to take on-the-go. It doesn’t shirk on quality, either, with one shopper calling it “dangerously comfortable.” This float can be used four different ways (as a hammock, a drifter, a lounge chair or an exercise saddle) and it even comes with its own carrying tote. Regularly $29.99, it falls to $26.89 in the Antigua Blue color, and you can get it for even less when you click the coupon box beneath the price to drop it to $23.89 in your cart. Note that this float will not ship before June 13 and BJ’s Whole Club members (it’s $55 a year to join) can a similar style for even less ($19.99) without the tote.

4. Less than $30: Our top-rated glass French press
If you’re a coffee connoisseur, chances are, you’re also a French press enthusiast. Sure, these appliances may not give you the instant gratification of a single-serve coffee maker, but what they lack in speed and ease-of-use, they often make up for in satisfying, robust flavor. If you ask us, that’s especially true if you’ve got a great model, like the Kona French Press Coffee Maker, on hand, which, wouldn’t you know it, is currently on sale. Regularly $39.98, you can snag this little beauty for $29.99 right now on the site. Earning our top honors for the best glass French press, we found the Kona to provide an attractive, ergonomic design, with an easy-to-hold handle, tight-fitting lid, and smooth-moving plunger. More importantly, however, it did the impossible by quickly foaming milk—something we found to be extremely difficult and/or time-consuming with other glass models.

5. A 75% discount: This virus protection program with more than 800 reviews
While we haven’t yet tested McAfee's AntiVirus Protection Software for 2020 (check out our top pick protection pick in Bitdefender's Antivirus, currently on sale for $29.99), it’s got a 4-star review from close to 900 reviewers. It's also on sale at Amazon right now for a whopping 75% off. That means you can get a digital version of this program, regularly $39.99, for just $9.99 today. Following your purchase, an activation code will be delivered to your email that supports a single device and claims to protect against malware, ransomware (a.k.a encrypting data), spyware, spam and more. Reviewers noted that this software took care of even the most stubborn viruses, though many advised skipping the inflated renewal fees seen on the McAfee site by purchasing it as a new sale product should you want to continue coverage past the provided 365 days.
