Men’s Health’s Reviews Team spent the year trying gadgets that promise to make life easier, and often come with another login or an AI feature to figure out first. Resident tech guys—including Senior Gear Editor Ryan Brower, Fitness Editor Charles Thorp, and Senior Editor Brett Williams—have tried enough to know which ones are worth the trouble and your hard-earned dollars. Their favorites make up this year’s Tech Awards, from swim goggles that show your pace in the lens to a massage gun that runs for up to four hours per charge and still fits in your gym bag.
We also found time-saving gadgets like a robot vacuum that washes its own mop, so you can cross one more chore off your weekend list. TVs that double as wall art are everywhere, but plenty come with gallery-worthy prices. Amazon’s 65-inch model gets you the look for less, with frame options to match your room and a matte screen that cuts glare.
Alexa voice control is pretty great at this price: Just ask it to find a show or turn up the volume without reaching for the remote. Figure out what’s costing you strokes without spending your round staring at your phone. This pocket-size tracker records shots without sensors attached to your clubs, then syncs with an app that breaks down your game.
One MH editor used it to pinpoint the approach-shot distances he needed to practice. Expect occasional manual corrections after a round. The first year of membership is included; keeping those insights coming costs $200 annually after that.

The styling is a modern take on a cruiser, and the 500-watt motor barely makes a sound. With five pedal-assist modes, up to 45 miles of range, and assisted speeds up to 28 mph when configured for Class 3 riding, this e-bike slays.
This exoskeleton from Hypershell provides 1,000 watts of extra oomph, with 12 adaptive assist functions that respond to your movement. On a steep, rocky hike, one MH tester felt a noticeable boost lifting his legs uphill and steadier on the descent. Two included batteries offer roughly 18 to 20 miles apiece, depending on terrain, load, and how much assistance you use.
