5 fantastic tech gifts for guys!
The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to start panicking about the fast approaching gift-giving celebrations.
Wondering what the hell you're gonna get that tech-obsessed guy in your life?
Well wonder no more, 'cause we're here to help! We've got five gift ideas that are sure to please! Oh, and by the way: These gifts are just as awesome for a guy as they are for anyone else. So don't let "gifts for guys" keep you from giving these gifts to a gal.
1. Apple Watch Series 2
You can't go wrong with the brand new Apple Watch Series 2.
Not only is it way faster than the former "Series 0" Apple Watch, it's also got a super-bright screen and GPS.
Oh, and did I mention it's water proof? If you're shopping for a swimmer (or just someone who has trouble keeping their pricey gadgets away from water), the Series 2 is a great choice.
Best of all, if the guy has "Series 0" Apple Watch bands, they'll work for the Series 2. Buy the watch and skip out on picking up extra bands — now that's a great idea!
2. Amazon Echo Dot
The Amazon Echo Dot is a "duh" buy for anyone who wants to add some home automation to their life.
The second-generation Dot features a speaker so it doesn't require a set of external speakers to function. Still, if you're planning to listen to music (which you should be, the Amazon Echo is a fantastic music listening device), you're gonna want external speakers.
If your gift-getting guy has any home automation accessories in his home, the Echo Dot is perfect as a central means of controlling all that smart gadgetry.
It's also just a delightful piece of tech. Amazon's Alexa assistant is quite witty, and the company keeps it up to date with new jokes and hidden easter eggs.
All that said, if you can afford the Amazon Echo, get that instead. Its internal speakers are a lot more powerful, so it doesn't need to be hooked up to anything.
3. DJI Mavic Pro
I mean, there's really no other way to put it: Drones are damn cool.
Look, when it comes to drones there's not a whole lot of real utility for most people, but who cares? They're just so damn cool.
The DJI Mavic Pro has a 4K camera, it flies for up to 27 minutes, and it's super compact. The thing folds down into a 3-inch by 8-inch space.
If your guy is an aspiring filmmaker, photographer, or just likes cool stuff that flies — the DJI Mavic Pro should definitely go on your list.
4. Sonos PLAY:1
5. Tile Slim
