The Amazon Big Spring Sale officially kicks off next week (running from March 25 through 31), which means there are already plenty of deals floating around. If you're looking to do a little retail therapy heading into the weekend, we've rounded up a few of the best deals we could find that are already live at Amazon as of March 21.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are appealing to you, be sure to check out our picks from March 19 and 20. Many of those deals are still live, including a record low price on the Google Pixel 9 Pro and DJI Osmo Action 4.

Our top pick: Garmin vívoactive 5

There's no denying that Garmin makes some of the best smartwatches on the market. While we haven't personally tested the latest vívoactive 5, we spent some time with its predecessor and were huge fans. "The vívoactive 4 is an excellent smartwatch for active people wanting to be more in tune with their bodies, and for less active individuals who have the desire but need a little nudging to stick to their goals," our reviewer writes. The newer iteration upgrades the AMOLED display, improves the heart rate sensor, enhances sleep and stress coaching, and adds even more sports apps. While it's regularly $299.99, it's on sale for just $209 in the ivory shade as of March 21. That's 30% in savings. Want another color? The black, navy, and orchid options are also on sale for $219.99.

Beats Pill

Beats upgraded its Bluetooth speaker last year, addressing many of its predecessor's downfalls. The new Beats Pill boasts angled drivers, hefty bass, a capable speakerphone, waterproof design, and a lengthy 24-hour battery life. As per our sister site PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis): "The durable, feature-rich, and stylish Beats Pill speaker delivers impressive bass for its size and costs much less than the original." It's usually $149.95, but you can snag it in black, champagne, or red for only $99.95 as of March 21. That's 33% in savings.

Shark IZ163H Pet Plus

The Shark IZ163H Pet Plus is designed to help you keep pet hair at bay, and it's on sale for only $199.99 at Amazon as of March 21. That's 33% in savings and matches its best price ever. It features a self-cleaning brushroll, HEPA filter and anti-allergen complete seal, 40-minute battery life, and a multi-flex wand to help you deep clean pet hair from any angle. Plus, its cordless design lets you convert it into a hand vac to tackle any hard-to-reach spots.

Google Pixel Watch 3

Released at the 2024 Made by Google event, the Google Pixel Watch 3 added some potentially life-saving features. Some of those include loss of pulse detection and the ability to call 911. It also improved heart rate tracking accuracy, added more advanced running features, and upgraded the design with smaller bezels (more screen real estate) and a brighter display. As of March 21, you can get the 45mm option with WiFi for just $339.99 instead of $399.99. That's 15% in savings.

Anker Soundcore P20i

Need to replace your lost or broken earbuds, but don't want to spend a fortune? Our favorite budget earbuds, the Soundcore P20is, are down to just $19.99 at Amazon as of March 21 (with an on-page coupon). That's half of their usual cost. We're shocked at how impressive these buds are for the price. Thanks to equalizer presets on the companion app, they can produce the kind of well-rounded sound you'd expect from earbuds three times the price. Not to mention, their battery life outshines the AirPods at 10 hours per charge. You can even set up to three touch controls on each earbud and locate them using a "find device" feature.
