Amazon Black Friday sale 2024 in Australia: the 10 best deals on week 2

Black Friday sales in Australia have kicked off, but Amazon started early. In fact, it started very early, on November 19 to be precise, two days before any other market that the online retailer operates in. With the sale coming to a close at 11:59pm AEDT on Monday, December 2, which is the date for Cyber Monday, there's just days left for you to snap up a bargain or two... or three.

• Shop all Amazon Black Friday deals

We've been handpicking all the best deals in our live coverage of Amazon AU's Black Friday sale, and we'll continue to do so until it ends on Monday. We don't think Amazon will extend its sale beyond December 2 though, as it will likely need the calm before the Amazon Boxing Day sale kicks off later in the month. So in case you've forgotten to get something this time round, maybe you'll get lucky later.

• Live coverage of handpicked Amazon Black Friday deals

Unlike Prime Day sales, the good news here is that you don't need to be a Prime member to access Amazon's Black Friday sale, although it might save you on shipping costs if you are. You will, of course, need an Amazon account, which is free to create.

There's always plenty to shop on Amazon, so follow along in our live coverage, but we have listed what we think are the 10 best deals you really need to know about.

Best Amazon Black Friday 2024 deals

Bose QuietComfort SC: was AU$499.95 now AU$299 at Amazon

Save AU$200.95

Nearly as good as the premium QuietComfort Ultra, the SC misses out on the Immersive Audio mode. There'll also be a little difference in sound quality as they two process sound differently, but it's still excellent, as is the ANC performance. You'll also get a soft case for this foldable headphone.

Withings Scanwatch 2 Hybrid Smartwatch (38mm, Rose Gold): was AU$599 now AU$449 at Amazon

Save AU$150

One of the best-looking hybrid smart watches on the market, blending analog and digital design layouts, the Scanwatch 2 is probably your best bet if you want a classic design and some of the health tracking features of a typical smart watch. In our Withings ScanWatch 2 review, we found that the companion app was quite easy to use and we liked the inclusion of a skin temperature tracker, though we would have liked some more smart features and the small digital display won't be for everyone.

Shark Cordless Detect Pro with Auto-Empty System: was AU$999 now AU$548 at Amazon

Save AU$451

Taking top spot in both our best vacuum cleaner list and our best cordless stick vacuums guide, this lightweight vacuum is fantastic value at 40% off. It may not have the powerful suction of the latest Dyson or Samsung, but it has more than enough to do a very good job even on carpets. Its bin canister is small, but it auto-empties into a 2L box (no replaceable bags needed), so you can carry on cleaning. It also detects room edges to increase suction – it's a really good vacuum.

Save AU$56.95

An understated watch with a focus on Mac compatibility, the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a Bluetooth and wired pointer fitted with an 8K DPI sensor. Our friends at Tom's Guide noted in their review of the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S that it was well made and nicely weighted, though it may be uncomfortable for some users. The lowest price we've ever seen the MX Anywhere 3S drop to is AU$99, which makes this the new all-time low.

Amazon Australia Black Friday 2024 sale: key information

Prime Big Deal Days: takeaways from October

In October, Amazon Australia hosted its second Prime Big Deal Days sale which, this year, was a 6-day event, just like the July Prime Day sale. This second sale is prelude to what the online retailer is likely to offer during Black Friday and there was one glaring omission – there were no Prime Day Kindle deals in October. That's probably because Amazon might be getting ready to release some new Kindles, but we'll have to wait and see if that's true.

Amazon also didn't discount any of its popular Fire TV Sticks in October, although they were steeply discounted in July and we're quite sure they'll see the same discounts again in November, if not better. There were plenty of Echo smart speakers going cheap though.

While a lot of the other offers either matched what we saw during July's main Prime Day sale event or were less than what was previously on offer, there were plenty of items to shop. With Black Friday, however, Amazon is likely to outdo its October performance, so expect more deals and deeper discounts directly from the retail giant as well as from resellers.

Amazon Australia Black Friday deals 2024: predictions

Being such a massive online retailer, it can be difficult to know what to look for during Amazon’s Black Friday deals. And with the site stocking such a huge range of items, it’s sometimes tricky to predict exactly which devices will see the best offers come November.

Amazon does have its strengths and weaknesses – it’s a great place to head for deals on Amazon’s Echo range of smart home devices, Garmin smartwatches, Apple products, premium audio gear and so much more. When it comes to tech though, there’s one big category that Amazon is missing, and that’s TVs. You might see a small selection of Philips Ambilight TVs discounted on Amazon over Black Friday, perhaps a Sony Bravia and some LG panels, but these will not be the OLEDs.

Amazon will also frequently price match, or even price beat, its online competitors, and we certainly saw that happen over last year’s Black Friday. Keep this in mind while you hunt for deals from various retailers, as you might be able to secure more savings this way.

At any time on its site, Amazon has three types of deals going – there’s Lightning Deals that are only available for a few hours, Deal of the Day that will last for 24 hours and regular deals that will be live for the entire sale period.

You’ll often find that Amazon’s own products, such as Echo devices, Kindles and Fire TV Sticks, will be available for the same price throughout the Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend, but if you’re looking for other items, you’ll need to keep checking Amazon’s site – or stick with us if it's the best tech deals you're after.

There are also WOW deals to take into the equation. Amazon began to offer these during 2020’s Prime Day – these are available in very limited quantities for just 2-4 hours, and they usually come on popular items such as Apple AirPods Pro, the Nintendo Switch or premium headphones from Bose and Sony. That said, we haven't seen any WOW deals during the two 6-day Prime Day sales this year, so we can't say for certain if these will be on offer again.

It’s also worth noting that Australians will have access to select deals from the Amazon sites in other countries too – specifically the US, UK, Germany and Japan – and they’ll all be visible on our local website. There can be great value in these deals too, but just keep in mind they’ll be the international version of the product and could face shipping delays, or come with international power plugs.
