Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 – $200, was $230
Although our look at the best tablets is about the plus version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, the standard variant is still worth a look. Saving your dad the need to dig out his laptop or squint at a small phone screen, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 offers a large 10.5-inch LCD display and all the useful features you’d expect. 128GB of storage means plenty of room for all your dad’s favorite apps and games. A long-lasting battery and fast charging also save it from the all-too-frequent use of a power source.

One of the best Garmin watches for sturdiness, the Garmin Instinct 2 is great for the active dad. Whether he likes to run, hike or swim, this smartwatch is for him. Thanks to its fiber-reinforced polymer body and scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, it is waterproof to a depth of 100 meters and thermal and shockproof. With built-in sports apps, it records every workout imaginable while also offering the ability to track heart rate, sleep, pulse oximeter, breathing and more.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is one of the best smartwatches out there, and it’s a must-have if your dad already owns an iPhone. It looks great while also being an excellent health companion. It monitors all sorts of things from your blood oxygen levels to your heart rate. If your dad suddenly has a low or high heart rate, he’ll get a notification letting him know. The same applies to cardiac arrhythmias. In addition, it records all his training sessions and encourages him to do more to beat his previous records. Alternatively, if your father is a bit older, the fall and accident detection is a great security.
