On Father’s Day, you’re sure to get a hug from dad when you give him that tie, but deep down, you know he wants something with a power button. It’s the perfect excuse to gift him the tech he’ll use all year long. This year, we’ve rounded up Father’s Day tech gifts that are so much better than a tie. These products are smart, simple, and seriously useful, and they’ll make all the fathers in your life feel appreciated!
Emerge Vartan Gaming Chair
Lifewire
Doesn’t matter whether Dad’s a gamer or just spends a lot of time in his home office. He’ll love the Emerge Vartan Bonded Leather Ergonomic Gaming Chair for the comfort alone. It has great cushioning and lots of adjustability, and when he needs to kick back and put his feet up on the desk, it reclines, too!
The design of this chair also lets you remove the lumbar pillow and the neck pillow, so Dad can get really comfortable, whether he’s settling in for a long stretch of beating you at Fortnite or a tough day working in front of the computer.
OnePlus Watch 3

The OnePlus Watch 3 is both stylish and useful. Dad will appreciate the rugged looks of this smartwatch, but he’ll love the tech even more. First, it’s waterproof… like you could go diving with this watch on.
It also has a days-long battery life, and a larger display than previous versions. It’s super bright, too, so it’s easy to see in the sunlight, and there are tons of great health tracking options if dad happens to be conscious about things like that. One thing’s for sure, he won’t be fake-smiling in appreciation if he gets this for Father’s Day.
Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor

If your dad spends a lot of time in front of the computer, his eyes will light up when he opens the Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor. With a beautiful, high quality image, and masculine theme, this monitor will look great in his office… or his gaming room.
This monitor has all the ports: 2 HDMI 2.1 FRL ports (one with eARC), a display port, a joystick connection, a 3GB USB-B upstream port, and 3 USB-A ports and a USB-C with Power Delivery (up to 15W), so dad can connect whatever he needs to. It also has anti-burn in protection, so the picture will stay beautiful. Dads deserve nice things, too.
Parigo LED Flashlight Gloves
Parigo
Dad’s eyesight might not be what it once was, so when he opens your gift of these Parigo Rechargeable LED Flashlight Gloves, he’ll be impressed. Not only does this package include two pairs of these gloves, but they’re waterproof, and they’ll give dad the freedom to use his hands and still see what he’s doing.
Whether that’s working under the hood of the car or night fishing with the guys, these gloves can provide up to 12 hours of light, and they only take about an hour and a half to recharge. What’s more, the gloves leave his fingertips free, and the LED lights are strategically placed to make it easy to focus the light right where he needs it.
Apple AirPods Max (2024)

The Apple AirPods Max are worth the extra money to show dad how much you love him. Whether he’s into music, podcasts, TV or just wants to shut the world out for a while, these headphones will give him all those options.
The noise-cancellation feature is one of the best on the market, and the seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem makes them a no-brainer if your Dad is an Apple Guy. Sound quality is important to, and these offer that along with USB-C charging and unmatched comfort. Go ahead, splurge a little. Dad deserves it.
Google TV Streamer 4K
The dad who loves movies will really appreciate the Google TV Streamer 4K. Its unobtrusive design means it’ll fit into any decor, and smart home controls make it useful for controlling security cameras, thermostats, and more.
What dad really wants, though, is a reliable way to stream “Bob’s Burgers” and ESPN, which he’ll get when he unwraps this gift. The customizable voice remote is a perk that he won’t expect. And he can connect all his streaming apps in one place, so you can just hand him this gift and know you’re winning this Father’s Day.
Boroscope Inspection Camera
Boroscope
The Sibost Boroscope Camera is exactly the solution that every handy dad needs. This LED endoscopic camera has a 9.8 ft. reach, so your dad can snake it into whatever little crevice he needs to see. It’s waterproof, too, so he won’t have to worry about moisture killing his image.
The Boroscope camera works with Android and iPhone (and iPad, too), so you won’t have to worry about whether dad can use it, and with the 6 adjustable LEDs, he’ll get a clear picture of just how thoughtful you are this Father’s Day.
Lenovo Legion Go S

The Lenovo Legion Go S might seem like it’s just for gaming, but trust us, your Dad will appreciate this little machine. It is good for gaming, especially when you connect it with the Xbox PC Game Pass. But there’s so much more to this device.
It runs on Windows 11, which means Dad will also have access to everything he needs, from email to work apps like Word and Excel. He can even use Teams if he needs to jump on a quick meeting. The 8-inch WUXGA display is beautiful and big enough for most tasks dad will need (or want) to get done. Not only will he think the Legion Go S is the perfect Father’s Day gift, dad will think you’re perfect, too!
