Walmart offers a decent selection of Wirecutter-approved Bluetooth speakers, networking gear, and smart home gear. Here are the best deals we've spotted in the tech category this Cyber Monday:

Beats Solo3
Deal price: $120; street price: $175
Read our review of the best Bluetooth headphones.

Though not an official pick, the Beats Solo3 are still a great choice for those looking for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones. Now down to $120, these headphones offer great sound, can easily be paired with Apple devices, and have an impressive 40-hour battery life.

Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 40mm, Red/Pink)
Deal price: $330; street price: $400
Read our post on why the Apple watch is the best smartwatch for iPhone owners.

The new Apple Watch Series 6 is currently available for $330 in red and pink color variations in the 40mm size. The lowest price we've seen so far, this is a solid deal on a smartwatch with an always-on display that also offers more health features than its predecessors, like blood oxygen level or heart rhythm. If you're hoping to get your hands on the Series 6, this is a great opportunity to snag one for the holidays.

TP-Link Archer AX1800 Wi-Fi Router
Deal price: $100; street price: $120
Read our review of the best Wi-Fi router.

Our runner-up Wi-Fi router pick offers fewer features than our top pick for a lower price, but in most cases it can keep up in throughput, responsiveness, and ease of setup. This deal is a new low price and makes our runner-up pick about $50 cheaper than our top pick. It's an especially good option if your house isn’t larger than our 2,300-square-foot-test home.

Kobo Clara HD eBook Reader
Deal price: $100; street price: $120
Read our review of the best eBook reader.

The Kobo Clara HD is currently available for $100 from around $120. It's comparable to the Kindle Paperwhite and we recommend it for those that don't want an Amazon device or to be linked to the Amazon ecosystem. The main drawback of this pick is that you can't toggle between reading and listening to your books, but the hardware is nearly identical and the book selection is also comparable.

Google Nest Learning Thermostat
Deal price: $200; street price: $230
Read our review of the best smart thermostat.

Although we've seen a few bundle deals on our upgrade pick for the best smart thermostat, this is a solid standalone discount on the Google Nest Learning Thermostat. It's Nest’s most-advanced option and features a larger, crisper, and more useful display and wide compatibility with HVAC systems. Although we normally recommend our top pick over the Nest E only if you strongly prefer its design or really want its extra features, this deal mitigates some of that extra cost.

Beats Solo3 Bluetooth Headphones
Deal price: $120; street price: $175
Read our review of the best Bluetooth wireless headphones.

Beats Solo3 headphones are a good Bluetooth option that pair easily, have a 40-hour battery life, and offer nice highs and mids with a slight bass boost. A notable competition option from our Bluetooth headphones guide, our writers specifically only like this model when you can find them under $150, so this $120 is a nice chance to save if you've had your eye on a pair.

Roku Streaming Stick+ Media Streamer
Deal price: $30; street price: $45
Read our review of the best media streaming devices.

With a new streaming service popping up seemingly every other day (looking at you, Peacock and HBO Max), investing in a media streaming device is a surefire thing. Down to $30 from $45, this deal is just a dollar more than the previous lowest price we've noted. It's also the best price we've seen in almost a year so it's a good time to buy if you're interested in a media streaming device.

Kobo Libra H2O Ebook Reader
Deal price: $150; street price: $170
Read our review of the best eBook reader.

Available again for $150 in black and white, this is another good deal on our upgrade pick for the best eBook reader, the Kobo Libra H2O. If you're looking for an eReader that matches most of the features of Amazon more expensive models, but isn't part of the Amazon ecosystem, this is a good opportunity to save. The Libra H2O is waterproof, has physical controls and a 7-inch screen, as well as screen light color temperature adjustment for late-night reading.

Nixplay 2K Smart Photo Frame 9.7 inch
Deal price: $195; street price: $265
Read our review of the best digital photo frame.

A digital photo frame can be a nice way to connect with family or friends no matter how far away they live. The Nixplay 2K Smart Photo Frame 9.7 inch is down to $210, which isn't the lowest price we've seen but still a decent amount of savings. This digital frame, although a bit pricier than our top pick, allows people to upload pictures from social media. Plus, it has a stable stand and well designed wall frames.

Google Nest Mini (2nd Generation)
Deal price: $19; street price: $35 (with store pickup)
Read our review of the best is the Google Home the voice-controlled speaker for you?.

Our ground-level Google Assistant pick from our Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant guide is currently available for $19 across several retailers. Although it doesn't offer quite as many smart-home integration options as Alexa, it's a good beginner pick that continues to improve. If you want to create an inexpensive multiroom audio system that connects to your Google apps, this is a nice chance to save on an affordable option.

UE Boom 2 Bluetooth Speaker
Deal price: $71; street price: $100

Down to $71 in Phantom Black, the UE Boom 2 is an older competition pick that we liked in our previous waterproof speaker guide. Its not the most bass-heavy option, but this is still a nice time to save on a waterproof Bluetooth speaker with good volume.
