Target is no stranger to competition with Amazon sales. They've overlapped their Circle Week sales with Prime Day many times before. While October Prime Day might be over, Target's Circle Week is still going strong. Here are the best deals you should be paying attention to.
Earphones
The AirPods Pro 2 are $169.99 (originally $249.99) for Circle members, and they offer noise cancellation, plus their silicone tips provide a good seal that will naturally block a lot of background noise without the need to turn the ANC feature on. They also came out with a few features that older models didn't have, like adaptive transparency. You can expect solid battery life, with Apple claiming up to 30 hours of listening time on a single charge.
The cheapest AirPods (without active noise cancelation) are just $89.99 (originally $129), a record low price. These are the fourth generation with the H2 chip and a 30-hour battery.
The Beats Studio Pro came out in 2023 with a "good" review from PCMag, praising its sculpted sound (but warning sound-sticklers against it), comfort, premium accessories, and spatial audio with head tracking. You can get it for $169.99 (originally $349.99).
Apple Watch
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the most premium Apple watch, with the biggest case size (screen), brightest screen (3,000 nits), deepest water resistance of 100 meters, and longest battery life of up to 36 hours. The Ultra 2 is packed with fitness-focused features, but even if you aren’t a health nut, it still has a lot of great features for casual users as well. People who want a reliable sleep tracker can learn a lot about their sleep habits with the Ultra 2 as long as they keep it well-charged. Get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular Titanium Case for $599.99 (originally $799.99).
Google Nest video doorbell
The Google Nest Doorbell offers a 145-degree field of view, 1,280-by-960-pixel video at 30fps, 3:4 aspect ratio (so you'll likely be able to see your packages sitting on the porch), night vision, 6X digital zoom, two-way audio, and up to six months of battery life, according to PCMag's "good" review. Get it for $139.99 (originally $179.99).
TCL NXTVISION QLED TV
The TCL Nxtframe is a QLED 4K display with an anti-glare reflective screen and artistic outer bezels that give it that distinctive "frame" look. It is very similar to Samsung's The Frame, but the Nxtframe supports Dolby Vision on top of HDR10+, providing compatibility with a broader range of HDR content. It's great for gaming too, offering a 120 Hz refresh rate with a 144Hz Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). You can get the 65" Class NXTVISION 4K QLED Smart Frame for $899.99 (originally $$1,399.99).
Robotrock Robot Vacuum
If you're looking for a great deal on a reliable robot vacuum that can do everything you expect a high-end robot vacuum to do, but at a mid-tier price, consider the Roborock Qrevo Pro for $549.99 (originally $999.99). It vacuums, mops, applies hot water, has a 7,000 Pa suction, works over wifi with smart mapping with its companion app, and can do a few other cools things.
Target Circle Week FAQs
What is Target's Circle Week?
Circle Week is Target’s name for its biggest sale. As the name suggests, it lasts a whole week, and while it used to happen just once a year but, it now occurs multiple times a year. The most recent sale was this summer, and before that, in the spring, overlapping with Amazon's Prime Day and Big Spring Sale, respectively.
When is Circle Week?
The next Circle Week will take place from Oct. 5 to Oct. 11. That means it began two days before October Prime Day, which ran from Oct. 7 through Oct. 8.
Do you need to be a member to shop the sales during Target Circle Week?
Like Amazon's Prime Day sale, you will need to be a Circle member to take part in the sale, but unlike a Prime membership, Target Circle is free. You can sign up for an account on the Target app or Target.com.
You can also pay for a Target Circle 360 membership, which grants you early access to the sale as well as other perks, like same-day delivery. If you're a teacher or student, you can save 50% on the one-year Circle 360 subscription through Sept. 13; otherwise, it starts at $10.99 per month. But again, a paid membership isn't necessary to get all the best Circle Week deals.
What deals can I find during Target Circle Week?
Circle week will focus on apparel; home products like kitchen appliances, storage, floor care, and bedding; fun and entertainment; and Halloween costumes and treats. You'll also find tech products on sale. You can shop in person or online, and there will be a "Deal of the Day" for every day of the event that will start at 40% off.
What competitors are also offering sales?
Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale runs from Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. ET through Oct. 12 and includes deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+.
Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale runs from Sept. 27 through Oct. 12, and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.
