There’s also a controller deal for Xbox gamers. Turtle Beach’s Recon Cloud controller is heavily discounted for the first time, dropping to $69.95 (about $30 off) at Amazon or directly from Turtle Beach. This controller is unique, acting as a wired controller (similar to the Recon wired USB-C controller) for Xbox and PC, along with built-in wireless Bluetooth for Android. It includes a phone holder to make playing games on the go a little easier. To that end, it’s particularly great for anyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription for streaming games in the cloud over Wi-Fi or cellular.

At its core, the Recon Cloud – like the standard Recon – is a great controller, especially for FPS games. It has customizable buttons on the back and useful audio features like “SuperHuman hearing” that emphasizes game sounds like footsteps to give you a slight competitive edge. These features gave the standard Recon a nod in our Xbox controller buying guide, and the Recon Cloud adds just a little more connectivity to the formula. Read our practical impressions.

Turtle Beach’s Recon Cloud is a wired USB-C controller for Xbox and PC that also has Bluetooth wireless for PCs and Android phones. It has the same plethora of built-in audio features as the standard Recon controller, but it comes with an integrated, detachable phone holder for streaming mobile games.

Google is excellent Nest Hub smart display is selling for almost its lowest price yet, costing just $44.99 at Best Buy and Target. This $55 discount is a one-day deal at both retailers, and it’s a great value, even if it’s not quite as cheap as the $39 price we saw during Black Friday.

The latest version of the Nest Hub makes a great gift for anyone who likes to see family photos, as the Google Photos integration lets you display photos from a shared album on the 7-inch touchscreen. The screen can automatically adjust the color temperature, making it look almost as natural as a real picture frame. Of course, it comes with Google Assistant voice control for controlling smart home accessories, calling up some music to play on the small (but great-sounding) speaker, or the weather report.

Personally, I bought a Nest Hub for my mom around this time last year on a similar deal, and it was a hit. I’m clearly her favorite son (right?), and this may have played a small role. Read our review.

$45

The second-generation Nest Hub is Google’s smallest smart display, with a 7-inch touchscreen that can automatically adjust to the lighting in your room. What’s new in the latest version is the ability to automatically track your sleep patterns with its Soli radar chip.

The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS smartwatch is a fitness-focused versatile Wear OS alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 and Google’s new Pixel Watch, and it’s on sale now for $199.99 from Amazon and direct from Mobvoi. This $100 discount drops the price of the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra to an all-time low, and it’s a great value for Android users who want activity tracking and workout features without giving up too many useful smartwatch features. Normally opting for the more hardcore Polar or Garmin options out there means making that trade-off.

Mobvoi hasn’t yet provided a Wear OS 3 update for the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra, but it’s still one of the best Android smartwatches you can buy thanks to its speedy processor, 72-hour battery life, and competitive price. Read our review.

$200

This Wear OS smartwatch has a Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip and offers irregular heart rate alerts, sleep tracking and built-in GPS.
