If you’ve ever bought a gift that ended up in a drawer by July, this is the one that breaks the pattern. The SKG PS700 neck massager is $199.99, and unlike most novelty gadgets in the gifting aisle, it’s built to be used daily. At that price and that feature set, this is the kind of gift that changes how someone’s evenings feel, and the 360-degree bionic kneading underneath delivers the deep-tissue relief that the buzzing, vibrate-only neck devices in this price range simply can’t match.

What you’re getting

A neck massager earns its keep differently than a generic massage gadget does. Where a vibration-only device just rattles the surface, the PS700 uses bionic kneading that mimics the press-and-roll motion of actual hands, working into the muscle rather than skating across it. That distinction is what separates a device someone reaches for after a long day from one they try twice and forget.

The red-light warmth is the feature that makes this worth caring about over a basic heated wrap. Targeted warmth helps loosen tight muscle before the kneading goes to work, which is the combination that makes the relief feel earned rather than superficial. It’s cordless and portable, so it works at a desk, on the couch, or packed in a carry-on, with none of the wall-tethering that limits cheaper units.

App and Bluetooth control round it out, letting the recipient dial in intensity and mode to preference, and the Bluetooth music support means it doubles as a way to wind down rather than just a clinical device. For a Father’s Day gift specifically, that everyday usefulness is the whole point.

Why it’s worth it

$199.99 on any wellness gadget is a real spend, and it deserves scrutiny. On a massager with genuine kneading mechanics, heat therapy, and app control, it represents a feature set that comparable premium neck devices charge similar or higher prices for, often without the cordless portability. The PS700’s kneading and warmth combination is what keeps it competitive with anything in the category.

The bottom line

The SKG PS700 at $199.99 is the Father’s Day gift that’s hard to talk yourself out of once you’ve looked at what it actually does. The 360-degree bionic kneading, red-light warmth, and cordless, app-controlled design add up to a device that gets pulled out daily rather than shelved, and that everyday usefulness is what makes it worth the spend for the dad who says he doesn’t need anything.

Some Galaxy Watches may be too old for Samsung’s biggest sleep apnea upgrade
Samsung is adding three levels of breathing disturbance data, but the full feature won’t reach every watch that supports basic apnea detection
Body Part, Hand, Person

Samsung is making its Galaxy Watch sleep apnea tracking more useful than a simple warning. The upgraded system estimates how often breathing disturbances occur each hour, then sorts the result into three frequency levels.

There’s a catch for anyone holding onto an older model. Detailed results require Wear OS 7.0 or later, while watches stuck on older software will keep simpler alerts.
