We’ve tried sleep tracking with smartwatches, mattress sensors, and more—but this incredible little ring beats them all on simplicity. Embedded with tiny sensors that detect your pulse and movement, it provides a deep look at how you’re sleeping—or not—and how you can improve.

Treadmills have one Achilles’ heel: Motivation. But this lineup adds in real-time personalized pacing and training tips set to video loops of mind-blowing vistas: Hawaii, Zion National Park, and many more settings in and around the West. Advanced models even raise or lower inclines to meet the historic hikes or trail runs you’re following.

Counter space comes at a premium in most homes. This smart solution combines a juicer and a blender into one, with the added benefit of a side-siphon connecting the two. The result? Funnel your fresh juice right into the blender for fresher, brighter, and more nutritious smoothies.

We loved the original AirPods, and this water-resistant, noise-canceling upgrade adds adjustable rubberized tips to fit a variety of ear canal shapes. Great for working out—and for long plane rides that tax your fitness in other ways.
Dyson Pure Cool Me Fan

Dyson’s been making space-aged fans for years. What’s special about this R2D2 clone? It’s not blowing smoke—or any other kind of particulate, either. Thanks to a cylindrical HEPA filter in the base, the bed-, desk-, or side table companion cools with clean air. In rotational mode, the directional air stream can swing through a 70-degree arc, controlled by the included remote or an app, and a touch of the dome can move the “pressure core” up or down to meet your hot spots.
Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Toothbrush
Just like high-end razors, fancy toothbrushes need to justify their price tags. That creates an arms race of sorts, featuring all kinds of unnecessary features. This Bluetooth setup manages to pull its weight, coaching you through different brushing modes meant to help whiten your teeth, protect your gums, and deep clean. RFID (radio frequency identification) technology means the base automatically adapts to different brush heads. The company claims the system removes up to ten times more plaque than a manual toothbrush and up to twice as many stains in three days, and provides up to seven times better gum health in just two weeks. Our favorite trick: A glass tumbler that fits over the charging base, so you can prop your toothbrush just like the good old days and it will still charge.
