You've probably heard that Amazon Prime Day is coming. Fast. 

 One of the biggest sales events of the year is due to take place this week, but with international time differences and some early deals already live, the actual start time can be a bit confusing. When do the deals officially start?

Allow us to explain.

Amazon Prime Day takes place on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th July 2022. Precise start/finish times are as follows:

  • UK (BST): 12th July 00:01am to 23:59pm 13th July
  • US (ET/PT): 12th July 3am (ET) / 00:00am (PT) to 2:59am (ET) / 23:59pm (PT) 13th July
  • Australia (AEST): 12th July 00:00am to 17:00pm on 14th July

The eagle-eyed among you may have spotted some deals are already live. That's because Amazon is building anticipation for the event with some early bargains. These are mostly for its own devices and services – rest assured we'll see plenty more deals come the big day.

Here are the best early deals so far.
