Jebus. Just saw a watch I have (the mech is the same, bracelet different), RRP 295, they are having a giraffe, I never paid that for it and it has never been expensive that I have seen. They are shouting about 79% off.
How amazon arrive at the price they charge is a thing of wonder involving lots of smoke and lots of mirrors.... and lots of "conversations" with suppliers.The offers are pretty weak (£1 off an Ed Sheeran CD!) and they have clearly bumped the standard RRP up to make it appear like you are making a saving - the truth is you aren't saving anything. The only obvious saving is the Amazon Firestick, which understandably they are going to try and heavily push on Prime users.
Its just another faux sale to hopefully make people buy products "because its in the sale innit". Seen one product which was sat in my basket (waiting to be bought before prime day) which was £5 more than another retailer and is now £10 more expensive now its in the sale!
Oh and it appears that all the books in the sale are £10! I have bought a massive amount of books through Amazon (outside of a sale) in the past and have never spent more than £7 on a book.

For those not aware of it, take a look at http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/ to check if they really are any saving over the original price
I've bought one of the Fire TV Sticks - down from £35 to £19. Fancied one for a while now and couldn't resist it at that price! Also got a couple of quid off an iPhone charging cable that I needed, plus four containers of Dettol laundry stuff for £11 - they're £4.50 each from supermarkets and we do lots of washing.
Not that I need one, but they had some seriously cheap TVs. There was a 50" 1080p LED Chinese one with Freeview for £230, which is just ridiculous. Never heard of the brand, but it looked decent enough and at that price it's hard to complain! They sold out almost instantly too.
