The Best Holiday Gifts for Men
Whether you're picking out a present for your pop, hoping to find a gift for your fiancé or searching for a present for your long-distance best friend, finding gifts for men can be difficult. That's why we gathered opinions from a bunch of men (and several experts in their shopping patterns). We've got a pretty good idea of what men want for the holidays this year, so if you're stumped, read ahead to find our best holiday gifts for men.
We don't want to brag, but Abt is an expert when it comes to wristwear. At least, our specialists are. While our Time Store is stocked with enough watches to overwhelm, our specialists know exactly what's in style at each moment. That's why they've suggested this timepiece by Hamilton. There's no doubt that it's a big-ticket item, making it a great choice for beloved husbands or dads. The Hamilton brand is known for its diverse range of styles, and the Khaki Field Murph Auto bracelet bundle comes with some added versatility. In addition to the luxe leather strap, this watch comes with a metal bracelet. That makes this bundle a versatile gift for men that your recipient can wear in more than one way. It's self-winding and water-resistant, all while the H-10 movement gives the Hamilton watch an 80-hour power reserve as well as extremely accurate movement. Wrap a ribbon around the box; this gift for men is one he'll be excited to find in a stocking, under a tree or handed to him beside a cup of coffee on a holiday morning.
Not all men love watches, but a bit of style can bring nearly any outfit together. If your boyfriend has a hard time finding accessories he can stand, this piece by John Hardy may be the perfect match. The understated clasp bracelet is a well-designed combo of rugged elegance for nearly any men's style (yes, even if he would never use the word "style"). The sleek silver and braided black leather are the perfect fusion, like the best elements of a top-tier leather jacket. It's made with reclaimed sterling silver, too. Tell him to keep it dry and away from chemicals, though—it's an accessory, not a hairband.
If your husband is more of an outdoorsman or an excessive athlete, a fashionable piece like the John Hardy bracelet might fall behind this pick—a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. This smartwatch has a large 47mm case size and tough silicone band. Unlike a traditional watch, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is ready to move through the mud, tackle the sweat and last through a night of sleep. Aside from detailed sleep-tracking and health-tracking capabilities, this smartwatch is a new workout buddy. Holiday gifts for men can sometimes sit to the side, but a tough smartwatch like this can go wherever he does. If he's on the forgetful side, he won't need to worry about charging it every night, either; this smartwatch holds 100 hours of battery at once. It's designed with LTE as well, meaning that this smartwatch doesn't need to be connected to a cell phone to receive texts, calls or connect to the internet. He'll thank you when he notices how nice it is to not need to bring a heavy phone on a long run or keep it near him as he swims or hikes.
Don't worry, the best holiday gifts for men aren't all wearables. We think any sportsman would love the Garmin Approach R50, a golf launch monitor and simulator. Those that love to hit the links will appreciate something they can really sink their teeth into; this simulator is designed with over 43,000 golf courses. The golfer in your life can hit any of these courses whenever they want thanks to the R50, all while improving their game. Here's how it works: the launch monitor analyzes the user's form as they swing, strike and follow through with every hit to the golf ball. Golfers can bring it to the driving range or use it with an in-home golf simulator. With multiple high-speed cameras and a built-in barometer, they'll see impact videos and get suggestions that will help fine-tune their golf game thanks to 15 ball and club metrics.

If you're looking for gifts for men who spend a bit too much time at the gym, the Matrix DB50 fifty-pound dumbbells might be the perfect choice for your husband. Instead of tripping over cluttered dumbbells in the basement, he'll be able to use a single adjustable set from Matrix. Each weight can be adjusted, adding an extra five pounds with every increment until each one is at a maximum of fifty pounds. Depending on the workout and what muscles he's targeting, he may want a lighter or heavier load: that's where this pick shines. With the ability to replace 10 dumbbell pairs, the DB50 is a holiday gift for men that he can use all year—and he doesn't even have to leave the house to go to the gym.
The man in your life definitely wants to stay on top of their grooming and personal care. Whether that means a close shave every day or letting that stubble grow out a bit, the Philips Norelco is a great holiday gift for men who are hoping to keep their facial hair in check. The Philips Norelco Series 7200 electric shaver is incredibly flexible. It'll be able to shave wet or dry (and even in the shower), and all 45 blades are designed to reduce friction to keep skin irritation away. That's thanks to SkinIQ: with SkinIQ, this holiday gift adjusts to properly shave his beard, guiding him towards a better and less irritating shave. If the man in your life has a hard time working up the courage to shave sensitive skin when it's time to tackle that facial hair, go for extreme comfort with this Philips Norelco shaver.
