Amazon Kindle for $65 ($25 off): The 2019 Kindle is the best affordable e-reader on the market. It has most of the bells and whistles that made the old Paperwhite so appealing, like LED front lights. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled and can stream Audible books. If your dad doesn’t have a Kindle, now is a great time to get him one. Other Kindle models are also on sale, so check out our Best Kindles guide to see which is the right option.
Apple Watch Series 5 for $329 ($100 off): The Series 5 landed on our Best Fitness Trackers list as the best fitness watch and our Best Smartwatches guide as the best smartwatchbut it’s only true if Dad has an iPhone.
Google Nest Max Hub for $200 ($30 off): When I reviewed it earlier this year (8/10, WIRED Recommends), I said the bigger smart display from Google is worth the premium over the regular Nest Hub for its three more inches of screen, although the built-in webcam is a privacy concern. You could always gift Dad a square of black electrical tape to solve that.
GoPro Hero7 Black for $230 ($100 off): Dad might get a kick out of making action videos of his hikes or trips, and this is a good discount on one of the best action cams. We have a review of this model if you want to learn more.
Fitbit Charge 4 for $129 ($21 off): We like the Charge 4 (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s one of the few fitness trackers in this price range to feature a built-in GPS, which can help measure distance and show the route you took on your run. You can also monitor heart rate, and it’ll even measure sleep quality at night.
OnePlus 7T for $499 ($100 off): The OnePlus 7T is the current runner-up in our guide to the Best Android phones. It’s been at this discounted price for a few months now but there’s a chance it could be discontinued soon considering the newer OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are available. When WIRED editor Jeffrey Van Camp reviewed it late last year (8/10, WIRED Recommends), he harped on the fast processor and luxurious display, which still matches if not exceeds the screens on phones twice its price.
Wyze Smart Home Starter Pack for $98 ($19 off): This is everything your dad needs to create a smarter home: a Wyze Cam, a 32-GB MicroSD card, two contact sensors, a motion sensor, a sensor bridge, two smart plugs, and three smart bulbs. Wyze products are usually excellent a great value. We really like its security camera, smart plug and its bulb. Nothing beats it for the price.
Amazon Echo Studio with Free Philips Hue Bulb for $170 ($60 off): The Echo Studio fires music in every direction, from the downward-facing subwoofer, the upward-facing midrange speaker, and two side-facing speakers. That makes it the best speaker in the Echo range, while also being an Alexa hub that can run all your other compatible smart devices.
MacBook Air (2020 Model with Core i3, 256 GB) for $899 ($100 off): The entry-level MacBook Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends) with the Core i3 processor is a fine performer if Dad’s only using it for simple tasks like checking his email. If you need more performance and more storage, the better-performing Core i5 model with 512 GB of storage is also on sale.
JBL Studio 580 Floor Standing Speaker for $300 ($500 off): JBL’s standing speaker has two woofer cones and is compatible with the rest of JBL’s Studio 5 speaker series. It’s great for when Dad wants to blast some tunes while powerwashing the deck.
Moment Starter Set with Two Lenses for $195 ($25 off): If Dad likes taking photos with his phone (and if he owns a recent iPhone, Google Pixel, OnePlus, or Samsung phone), get him this bundle from Moment, which includes two lenses of your choice, a phone case, a lens pen for cleaning, and a rear lens cap. The case is required as the lenses mount to it, so make sure Dad has a compatible smartphone. I recommend the 58-mm tele lens and the 14-mm Fisheye.
