Finding cool gadgets for men is tricky, because the guy who says he wants nothing usually already owns the obvious stuff. The trick is picking gear he would never buy for himself but reaches for the moment it lands on his desk, in his pack, or around his neck.
We skipped the novelty junk that ends up in a drawer and focused on gadgets that actually get used, across a wide range of budgets and interests. There is tech for the early adopter, tools for the fixer, outdoor gear for the adventurer, and a few weird finds just for fun.
From camera glasses and a smart cocktail maker to a pocket laser measure and a rugged water filter, here are the coolest gadgets for men worth gifting this year.
