Finding the perfect gift for Dad isn't always easy - especially when he's not big on gadgets. But the right piece of tech can still make his life easier, more enjoyable, and even a little more fun. Whether he enjoys listening to music, keeping an eye on his health, or just needs help staying charged on the go, there are a few simple, practical gadgets out there he will actually use and love.
Here are our top picks for tech gifts to consider this Father's Day.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
Smartwatches double as fitness trackers, monitoring heart rate, and even blood pressure throughout the day. Many also offer sleep analysis and guided breathing exercises to help manage stress. With notification support, he can stay connected without constantly checking his phone, making both meetings and workouts more seamless.
Priced at around Tk. 19,000, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is one of the most popular smartwatches in the market. While high-end smartwatches provide more accurate health data, you can also explore some balanced alternatives like the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Lite, which is around Tk. 5,500.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 10th Generation
Kindles are perfect for book-loving dads. The glare-free screen mimics real paper, so reading outdoors is no problem. Adjustable warm lighting and customisable fonts make late-night page-turning easy on the eyes. Lightweight and able to go weeks between charges, a Kindle is ideal for holidays, commutes, or relaxing on the sofa.
