I've been keeping an eye on all the best deals on fitness tech, and here are my top picks. Several wearables are on their lowest price ever. While many of the sales are on slightly older models, everything I'm including here is a device I think is very much worth buying, or at least considering, in 2026. There are deals on fitness brands like Garmin and Suunto, budget options from Fitbit, and even smartwatches from Apple, Google, and Samsung. The best deals on Garmin watchesGarmin Vivoactive 5, $179.99, down from $194.85, or $299.99 when it first la…

Streaming services have basically come full circle: What started as a cheap alternative to cable TV has become an expensive monthly cost in its own right, as price hikes and crackdowns on password sharing have made subscribing to multiple streaming services just as expensive, if not more so, than some conventional cable plans. Luckily, there are often discounts, deals, and loopholes to exploit that can make streaming more affordable—and sometimes even free. Here are the best streaming deals you can get right now. This month's best streaming deal …

Sony doesn't know how to name earbuds, but it sure knows how to build them. The WF-100XM5 buds were my favorite wireless earbuds last year, and they've since been supplanted by the Sony WF-1000XM6 buds. Generally, whenever Sony releases a new version of its flagship earbuds, you can generally trust they will be the best your money can buy until the next iteration rolls around—and right now, you can get the WF-1000XM6 buds at a discount for the first time. They're $298 (originally $329.99), the lowest price since the recent release, according to pri…

I'm asking the tough questions about whether wearables can really improve your health, how to find the right one for you, and how to make the most of the data wearables can offer. A fitness tracker’s job isn’t done when you finish your workout, or even when you take your last steps of the day. There are devices that excel at tracking how long and how well you slept, and devices that attempt to tell you when you’re well-recovered and ready for your next challenge. Here are my picks for the best of this category. What to look for in a slee…

I'm asking the tough questions about whether wearables can really improve your health, how to find the right one for you, and how to make the most of the data wearables can offer. Runners were some of the first people to embrace smartwatches. I remember back when a “running watch” was a brick-like GPS device strapped to your wrist, and it was a game-changer when those bricks started tracking heart rate as well. These days, every smartwatch can track your heart rate, not to mention your location and potentially a half-dozen other things. …

When it comes to your important data, you should always have a backup. And then a backup of that backup. Cloud storage services shouldn't be your whole strategy here, but they can help with that. Sometimes, you just don't have enough physical space to store all the photos you've taken over your life, or all your ebooks and work documents. Plus, there is the convenience factor of syncing your files between all the devices that you use, so that a document you drafted up on your iPad can instantly show up on your Mac or your Windows PC. That said, picking a cloud storage service isn't as easy as it used to be. Now that so much of our cloud usage is tied to platforms and ecos…

I enjoy Super Bowl Sunday. I’m not much of a football fan, but my friend always hosts a lovely party with plentiful snacks, and I don’t have to do a thing. You see, hosting a dinner party is one thing—there’s a set meal, and you can plan out the timing—but a party based on hot snacks means lots of upkeep, and frequent refreshing. You need a lineup of snacks that are delicious, easy to prep, and quick to churn out, leaving you plenty of time to yell at the TV. This sounds like a job for the air fryer. Here’s a list of my favorite Air Fryday snacks fit for the big game. Cheese-stuffed biscuit ballsYou know what’s better than cheesy breadsticks? These cheese-stuffed biscuit…

Tools are the obvious choice, but truly handy folks probably already have most, if not all, of the tools they need (in addition to a long list of tools they only needed once but still hang onto). And even if they do need a specific tool, your chances of picking out the precise make and model they want are pretty slim. But no matter what level of DIYer you're shopping for, they likely need other stuff besides tools, from safety gear (which too many DIYers neglect), to cold-weather accessories, to the little extras that can make around-the-house projects a little e…

There are a million reasons not to use Instagram, from it taking up too much of your time to not wanting to support Mark Zuckerberg. While the best alternative might be just getting off social network altogether, hey, who's perfect? Perhaps you're just tired of doomscrolling, or you want more control over your feeds. There are better options out there for you. Here are a few of my favorite photography-first social media platforms not owned by Meta (yet).
