4. Apple Watch Aluminium Case with Black Sport Loop, RM1,899
Shop here.
Manners maketh men—and watches do too. If you grew up with a dad who goes everywhere with a watch, that is probably because a watch traditionally signifies that a man is a gentleman and is rugged (with the shift in perspectives today, this might no longer be completely true). Advancement of technology has brought upon innovative products like the Apple Watch. Now at Series 4 (and the upcoming watchOS 6), the Apple Watch would come in handy to help dad be more healthy, active, and connected. In addition to that, the watch now has the largest display yet, along with an electrical heart sensor, and a Digital Crown re-engineered with haptic feedback. These features aside, the Apple Watch provides dad with the ability to make calls and send messages as well as access his favourite apps, right on his wrist. This is one for the books, and will be the perfect gift this year.
Fun fact: Dad can use the Apple Watch together with his ClassPass gift card.
