20 Random Expensive Products Trending On Amazon

by Taylor Fuller

It's tough to know when an expensive product is actually worth the purchase. There are so many things people are buying on Amazon, for example, that despite their expensive price tags, are surging in popularity. You can actually find them by browsing through the "Movers and Shakers" or "Best Sellers" pages on the site, and I took some time combing through the reviews to figure out which popular expensive items were worth it.

I'm not someone who can buy a pricey product on an impulse — I have to make sure that it lives up to the hype. That's why when I know I need to buy something more than my well-planned budget allows, I always turn to Amazon to see what's trending, and I always check out the reviews before I press "Add to Cart."

If you're going to spend a lot of money on something, you want to make sure it actually works, and that it keeps working. The best way to do that is to buy things that other people are buying and to spend a little bit of time reading through what other people have to say about it. And people generally have a lot to say, so you can be confident that you're picking the right expensive product, whatever it may be.

1. An Entertaining Drone With Photo And Video Capabilities

2. GoPro HERO5 Black

GoPro HERO5 Black, $500, Amazon

The newest edition to the GoPro family has been released, and it's the perfect upgrade from the HERO4. The HERO5 is waterproof without housing, and it features gorgeous 4K video and 12MP photo. I will be upgrading to one of these very soon, and reviewers are saying that thanks to improvements like image stabilization and touchscreen, this one's definitely worth it.

3. Bluetooth Key Finder

Never lose your things again. The bluetooth enabled trackers help you keep tabs on your wallet, phone, keys, and anything else you may misplace frequently.

4. Anti-Aging Vitamin C Serum

Kleem Organics Professional Age-Defying Vitamin C Serum for Face, $35, Amazon

9. External Battery For Charging Your Devices

10. Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker

If you struggle with body breakouts, an effective exfoliating wash can really make all the difference. According to reviewers, this glycolic body wash is just that.

19. Daniel Wellington Watch

Daniel Wellington Classic Watch, $82, Amazon

These watches are the best. I have two of them, and they are the most comfortable watches I have ever worn. But don't take my word for it — one reviewer said, "I love this watch even more than I expected! The leather band is high quality and the face of the watch is thinner and lighter than I thought it was going to be, which is great." The watches are super chic and classic, so it's no wonder the slightly pricey pieces are also lauded by reviewers.
