Tech Talk: Tech gifts for dad that mom will also love

Posted

Father’s Day is this Sunday. If you haven't snagged dad a gift you may want to consider a tech gift that mom will love too. Jason Strong joined us on Wisconsin Tonight with some ideas.  

It’s summer, which means more outdoor events and sports. So if Dad likes fishing or playing beach volleyball, this fitness/smartwatch combination gives Dad the freedom to enjoy his outdoor fun, get activity stats and still stay connected with mom without having to worry about carrying around his smartphone. Dad can manage calls, texts and calendar alerts all while getting continuous heart rate monitoring and all kinds fitness tips. And he can wear it up to 5 continuous days without needing a charge! 

If Dad loves to be the photographer but the pics are not always great, this is a must…. The Samsung Gear 360 camera will turn things around for Dad with a 360-degree view for the best video and photos to enjoy for years to come. Dad will deliver amazing pics and videos and mom will love him for it. 

Dad just may be a master griller who appreciates a little music while he’s at it; with that in mind a portable wireless speaker like this one can deliver Dad’s favorite tunes while he cooks up a storm for the family. No need to blast music from inside the living or run the risk of his phone falling victim to a grilling accident.

We know there’ve been plenty times when Dad would prefer to stay at home to watch his favorite show or game. Well with DIRECTV NOW, Dad can live stream TV and hundreds of on-demand channels, as much as he wants with an AT&T smartphone or tablet. So you can all visit Grandma and Dad won’t miss out on his game! And now you can get DIRECTV NOW for only $10 per month with AT&T’s Unlimited Choice wireless plan.

You can also check out these fun tech gadgets (BB8, Echo, Drone)  that seem to be popular with many Dads, but most important don’t’ forget to connect with Dad on his special day and let him know what a gift he is to you.
