Not all water bottles are created equal.

It seems like such a silly thing to say, but I’ve tried so many water bottles from every trendy brand out there, and for me, nothing compares to Owala.

What makes Owala stand apart from the rest of the crowd?

For starters, the lid that allows you to sip through a straw or swig through the larger opening is a game changer. That same lid is also completely leakproof — and not just in the way that some brands say its products are leakproof. I’ve thrown my Owala into a tote bag with books, e-readers, and other things that wouldn’t exactly stand up to water damage, and not a drop leaked out.

The stainless steel design keeps your water cold for up to 24 hours and it takes a long time for ice to melt. It’s also lightweight and easy to take anywhere with the lid’s carry loop, which doubles as a lock. Plus, it’s car cupholder compatible.

Oh, and the best part? Owala water bottles are discounted for Prime Big Deal Days through the end of the day today, Oct. 7.

If you’ve been thinking about a serious upgrade in the water bottle department or just want to see what all the hype is about, now’s the time. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Your Prime Big Deal Days FAQs, answered

What is Prime Big Deal Days and when is it?

Prime Big Deal Days — fondly known as October Prime Day — is Amazon’s biggest fall sale, offering massive discounts before the holiday rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. October Prime Day runs from Tuesday, Oct. 6 to Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026.

Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days

Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days are both Prime member-exclusive seasonal sales with massive discounts on rotating bestsellers. Unlike July’s Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days runs every October as a precursor to the busy holiday season, allowing shoppers to start saving on gift shopping early.

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop?

October Prime Day is exclusively available to Prime members. However interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits with no strings attached, and gain access to exclusive deals and the convenience of fast, free shipping.

What are the best deals?

From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that Amazon’s October Prime Day is the ideal time to save on big-ticket tech, Amazon devices, gift-worthy clothing and beauty and skincare staples, household essentials and many more Amazon best-sellers.

Is it worth it?

Every Prime Day sale is a great chance to score deals on thousands of best-sellers, top tech and appliances and every day essentials, but Amazon’s October event also has great pre-holiday discounts on gifts. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find the very best items to grab on sale.

When is the next Prime Day? Will there be another before Christmas?

We expect the October sale to be Amazon’s last Prime Day of 2026. Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is?
