Weber’s Spirit II E-210 competed with around half a dozen other gas grills but was awarded “Best Gas Grill” in our Best Grills guide. WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson said its simplicity, build quality, even cooking temps, and easy-to-adjust burners made it his favorite. It doesn’t have a side burner, but its compact size is well suited for smaller yards or patios. You can find this deal from Home Depot and directly from the Weber store too.
The Traeger Ironwood 650 (7/10, WIRED Review) is significantly more expensive than Weber’s grill, but it uses wood pellets instead of gas or charcoal. You get the ability to smoke your meat for the neighborhood’s best backyard barbecues. It connects to Wi-Fi too, so you can relax in the AC while your food perfectly cooks away. The app also includes recipes. The downside, other than its already high price, is that Traeger recommends only using its own proprietary pellets. The Home Depot is offering this sale too.

The ScanWatch (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has an FDA-cleared electrocardiogram, heart rate monitoring, and can track blood oxygen levels, but it looks just like an analog watch.

It goes a whole month between charges, and the face is covered by sapphire glass (with a stainless steel case). The 38-mm and 42-mm options are on sale.
You’ll see the discount at checkout. This watch isn’t very “smart.” It’s attractive, if a bit masculine, but you can set …….
