Father’s Day isn’t just a day off — it’s a tribute to the men who’ve put in the work, passed down wisdom, and built something lasting. For dads who balance legacy with leadership, who’ve earned every gray hair and carry themselves with quiet confidence, the right gift says more than just “thank you.” It shows you see him.

This year, Google’s latest lineup of tech gets it right — sleek, purposeful tools that meet him where he is. Whether he’s preserving family moments on the Pixel 9, tuning out the noise with next-gen earbuds, or staying sharp with a health-tracking watch, this gear fits seamlessly into the life he’s built.

From streaming setups for the man cave to smart home upgrades that work just as hard as he does, these gifts aren’t about flash — they’re about function, presence, and pride in what he’s created.

With the Best Take feature, you can perfect those tricky group shots by combining everyone’s best expressions into one photo. Plus, thanks to the Add Me feature, Dad will no longer be stuck behind the camera — he can seamlessly insert himself into family photos, even when he’s the one snapping the shutter.

2. Pixel Buds Pro 2

Best For: The Audio Aficionado
Whether Dad’s zoning into his favorite playlist, escaping into a podcast, or drowning out the sound of the neighbor’s lawn mower, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are his personal oasis. With Active Noise Cancellation and all-day comfort, these buds are perfect for travel, home improvement weekends, or just catching up on true crime mysteries without interruptions.

3. Pixel Watch 3

Best For: The Wellness Warrior
For the dad who’s tracking steps before breakfast or monitoring heart health between meetings, the Pixel Watch 3 is his new fitness companion. It seamlessly combines advanced health tracking with smart features like notifications, navigation, and contactless payments — all on his wrist.
