Father’s Day is this Sunday, and while we understand you have a lot to think about, you do owe the old man a token of your appreciation. If you’re anything like me, your dad was responsible for at least some of your interest in tech. Pay him back by picking up a gift that PCMag reviewers raved over, and save yourself some cash while you’re at it, because dads like it when you’re frugal. We’ve found eight deals he’ll love on products from top brands such as Apple and Samsung, and if you order now you can probably get it shipped to you by Sunday.

Be sure to check out our extensive Father’s Day Gift Guide for more ideas on what to get your beloved parent.

Headphones Deal

The absolute best gift you can give most dads is a little peace and quiet, so we’ll lead off with Apple’s exceptional noise-cancelling second-generation AirPods Pro. In our review, we gave these earbuds an Editors’ Choice award for their sterling sound quality, comfortable fit, seamless pairing and tremendous active noise cancellation, which uses internal microphones to nullify environmental noises like loud neighbors, whining dogs or yapping tweens. They can even be used as FDA-approved hearing aids if your dad is too stubborn to get those. Right now you can pick them up for a deep 32% discount, so you might want to get a pair for yourself too.

Dash Cam Deal

Dads love dash cams (and watching dash cam crash videos on YouTube). If your pops is still driving a whip that doesn’t have all the modern electronic eyes, the Rove R2-4K is a great addition to his vehicle. In our review of this model, we gave it an “Excellent” rating and raved about its simple installation and bevy of features for the price, including GPS radio, crash detection with G-Sensor, and simple storage on a SD card with easy video transfer to phones and other devices. Amazon has a 31% discount on this already mega-affordable dash cam, so grab one while you can.

Smartwatch Deal

A wristwatch is a traditional Father’s Day gift when you want to show Dad how much he means to you, so why not put a high-tech twist on it with the stylish and capable Apple Watch 10? This wearable won our Editors’ Choice award for the best smartwatch for iOS users, with best-in-class biometric sensors letting the wearer monitor their health and exertion, a new depth sensor letting you dive with it, on-board audio playback and more. Read our review for all the details. It can even listen for symptoms of sleep apnea, a big concern with older men. Amazon has the best Apple Watch discounts right now at 18% off across a variety of colors and styles.

Projector Deal

If you bond with your dad by watching movies — like I do with my son — why not give him a way to bring back that old-fashioned movie experience with one of the most rugged and high-performing portable projectors on the market? We adore the Anker Nebula Mars 3, raving in our review about the juicy internal battery, solid-state LED light source that’s rated to last 25,000 hours at full power, meaning you guys can watch Master and Commander over 12,000 times before it burns out. Sharp 1080p resolution with adept downscaling from 4K as well as built-in Android TV for streaming are added perks, and you can get this Editors’ Choice-winning projector for 24% off right now.

Kindle Deal

If your dad’s a big reader and a bigger note-taker, the Kindle Scribe will bring him into the 21st century. In our review of Amazon’s stylus-equipped e-ink tablet, we raved about its sizable, bright display, which is adjustable to change text size, and has auto-adjusting cool and warm lights. The Premium Pen stylus attaches magnetically to the side of the tablet, has a customizable shortcut button and can be flipped to be used as an eraser. Whether your dad is picking out passages in his latest nonfiction book to argue with, drawing up plans for house projects or just reading the paper, he’ll love this tablet.

Robot Vacuum Deal

If your Dad’s the handyman type, he probably leaves a trail of mess behind him as he putters on his projects. This is a gift that’ll do double duty for both him and Mom—a robot vacuum and mop that’ll handle all kinds of spills. In our review of the Roomba Combo 10 Max, we praised the hard-working little automaton’s clever obstacle avoidance along with enhanced dirt detection to zero in on trouble spots where Dad left debris behind, and automatic mop settings, including a base station where it cleans itself off before returning to duty. We did say that the price felt a little high, so a massive 43% discount at Amazon is very welcome.

Treadmill Deal

If your dad seems to be slowing down in his old age, a Father’s Day gift can be a gentle nudge to show your concern without freaking him out. We loved the Walkingpad foldable treadmill when we reviewed it, noting that it was built solidly but still lightweight and easy to move. And it’s foldable for vertical storage. The display screen is bright and easy to read, and the simple but effective companion app lets Dad track his steps, run a variety of workout programs and even upload his progress to a global leaderboard. Amazon has a $100 discount right now.

AirTag Deal

Is your Dad the forgetful type, always hunting for his wallet or his car keys? Save him (and everybody else) a ton of aggravation by sticking some AirTags on the stuff he misplaces the most. Using the massive ad hoc network created by iPhones, iPads and other devices, these tiny trackers triangulate their location and can even sound an alarm to help you dig them out of the couch cushions. In our review, we gave it an Editors’ Choice award, saying that it beat out other trackers in range and directional location.

Tablet Deal

A tablet is kind of the ultimate dad gift, because it accommodates so many different interests. Your dad like sports? Stream live events through a number of different platforms. Is he glued to the stock market? You can browse the Web with ease, make trades and more. Just like to game? This Samsung Galaxy Tab has plenty of horsepower for it. In our review, we gave the Galaxy Tab A9+ an Editors’ Choice award for its sizable 11-inch screen, peppy performance, expandable storage, and productivity-tuned OS with lots of neat features. Here’s a 14% discount.

Weather Station Deal

If there’s one thing that most dads dread, it’s small talk. That’s why the weather is probably the most common topic of discussion on Father’s Day. Now you can give your old man even more data to discuss with this full-featured home weather station The WS-2902 monitors a massive amount of different environmental features, including wind speed and direction, rainfall, humidity, the UV index and more. Link up with their weather station network and see what dads are complaining about all over the globe. You can also pick up extra accessories to add features like soil temperature monitoring for your garden, air quality and particulate density, and even a lightning sensor! Amazon has a 15% discount on the base unit.

Thermostat Deal

If there’s one thing that rubs dads the wrong way, it’s when people mess around with the thermostat. For Father’s Day, what better gift could you give him than a high-tech HVAC controller that will not only save him money on his bills but also eliminate all the fiddling around. We reviewed Amazon’s entry into the smart thermostat market and noted that it’s one of the most affordable on the market (especially with an additional 21% discount), with easy installation and integration with other Alexa devices. You can use compatible Echo Dot units for more robust temperature sensing, and control the thermostat with your voice through your smart speakers.

Thermometer Deal

If there’s one thing that unites dads the world over, it’s the grill. Father’s Day comes at the start of outdoor cooking season, and if your Dad is fond of slow-cooked meats, the TempSpike Pro is a killer addition to his grill gear. We gave this wireless meat thermometer an Editors’ Choice award in our review, raving about its massive selection of presets for different cuts and types of food, multiple probe support for more accurate readings, and simple setup. While the price might seem steep for a meat thermometer, it’s built to last, easy to clean, and versatile enough that the whole family can get some use out of it. Amazon has a 25% discount right now.
