The 13 Best Weekend Deals on Laptops, Smartwatches, and More

Now is a good time to grab some sweet Switch games, Apple’s Magic Keyboard, or an Apple Watch Series 6 at a discounted price.

It's become an involuntary tic to complain about staying home these days. Where I live though, there's nothing new about staying indoors in January. There's always this white stuff covering the ground, and my feet turn blue when I wear sandals. Weird. But here's the thing, staying home can be as exciting as you want it to be. It's up to you. Check out these deals on gaming, gadgets, and other gear to make winter hibernation more bearable.

Apple Watch Series 6 GPS for $339 ($60 off): The Series 6 is Apple's latest smartwatch, and it's our favorite smartwatch for anyone with an iPhone. If this is still too pricey, read our Best Apple Watch guide to see more options.
Garmin Fenix 6X Pro for $695 ($55 off): If you want a sports watch that can do anything—seriously, just about anything—the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the way to go.
Apple Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro (2nd Generation) for $199 ($100 off): Apple's Magic Keyboard is a great keyboard for the iPad Pro, but it's way too expensive. This deal helps out a little with that. For other keyboard alternatives, read our Best iPad Accessories guide.
Google Pixel 4A 5G for $459 ($40 off): If you're hunting for a great Android phone under $500, the Pixel 4A 5G is one of our favorites and should be at the top of your list. We recommend other great cheap phones too.
Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga for $974 ($524 off): This 13-inch 2-in-1 Thinkpad features an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 chip, 16 gigabytes of RAM, a 512-gigabyte SSD, and a Thinkpad Pen Pro for sketching and notes.
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 for $590 ($180 off): If you don't need the power of the Thinkpad above, this Ideapad is a more budget-friendly deal. The processor is an Intel Core i5, and the RAM is down to 12 gigs, but you still get a 512-gigabyte SSD and the 2-in-1 design.

Home and Audio Deals

Fender Telecaster Electric Guitar for $519 ($181 off): If you need a Telly—and who doesn't, really—this is a great deal on a sweet guitar.
Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofer for $190 ($60 off): Nothing will improve your speaker system like adding a subwoofer. It's a big investment, but trust us, you need the bass.
Aukey Portable Charger for $16 ($5 off): Clip the coupon on the page and use the discount code 9ZI8R6KG to see the deal at checkout. This 10,000-mAh portable charger can recharge your phone a few times over if you're away from an outlet. It's tiny enough to fit in most pockets or purses.

Gaming Deals

PowerA Fusion Wireless Arcade Stick (Switch) for $65 ($65 off): Go old-school with the Japanese arcade-style controller for the Nintendo Switch. You can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or plug in the USB-C cable.
Super Mario Odyssey for $40 ($20 off): This is the physical copy of the game. It's critically acclaimed and one of the best Mario games ever. If you haven't tried it yet, it doesn't go on sale often, so pick it up and enjoy hours and hours of hunting for Power Moons.
Super Mario Party (Switch) for $40 ($20 off): I think it's safe to say Mario is one of the most enduring video game characters ever. You can never have too many Mario games. This one's fun to play with your entire quarantine bubble.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) for $40 ($20 off): We're also fans of Breath of the Wild, which is arguably the greatest Legend of Zelda game ever. Like Odyssey, it doesn't dip in price often, so this is a good opportunity to grab it and lose yourself in the wondrous but bleak world of Hyrule.
