We consider the Viture Beast sunglasses, which provide full-color projected displays via any USB source, the absolute best prism display smart glasses on the market.

These are super-futuristic and absolutely cool.

If your dad's like mine, he's still in love with the music that he listened to as a kid (lots of Lynyrd Skynyrd, in his case).

We gave this unit an Editors' Choice award for its epic battery life and useful companion app.

Since it's a Lenovo, the build quality is peerless and the keyboard feels great.

Rowing is one of the best full-body exercises your dad can do. Luckily, Peloton has branched out from its cycling roots to introduce this exceptional rowing machine that delivers AI-powered form feedback to help Dad get the most from every stroke. Sonos-tuned speakers pump out all the motivational music and instructor commentary you can handle, and new voice control lets you adjust the volume and switch camera views when your hands are busy.

This durable and versatile action camera earned an Editors' Choice award from us thanks to its superlative lens, which captures 72MP stills and up to 8K video through dual front and rear lenses for a full-circle of photography.

Dads have a lot to do all the time—a smartwatch can keep them on schedule. We're big fans of the Apple Watch SE, an affordable wearable that combines a crisp always-on display with epic battery life and 5G wireless connectivity. In our review, we noted that it packs a wide range of biometric tracking features, including sleep apnea sensing. Tons of productivity and entertainment apps make it an all-purpose wristwatch that Dad can fiddle with forever.

It's the absolute best Windows-based gaming handheld you can get.

Mowing the lawn is one of those fatherly duties that gets worse with age, so why not recruit a little robot friend to give your dad more time to grill?

It runs quietly and efficiently for between 90 to 110 minutes on a single charge, automatically returning to the base station to refuel when needed.
