Wireless phone chargers: Everybody has been in a situation where the phone is about to die and you are nowhere near a phone charger. Terrible feeling right? Luckily with the advancement of technology we have been able to streamline this by developing wireless phone chargers. Take a look at some of the best current options this Father's Day below:
•Mophie Charge Force Vent Mount: The Charge Force Vent Mount is one of the newest wireless chargers on the market.

Big advantage to this product is that it offers 50% additional battery life to your mobile phone.
•Tylt Vu: On the market today, this is one of the premium options available. The Tylt Vu offers 12 volts of power, which is one of the highest among wireless charger products. The only negative to this product is that there is no slot for your headphones. This is a great option for only $33.00 at market value.
Smartwatch: Smartwatches have become a big attraction over the past year or so. And although, this is a more expensive product for the Father's Day holiday, this is definitely a perfect fit gift for dads everywhere.
•Q Founder Smartwatch: This product is developed by Fossil making it a high quality device. The benefits of this Smartwatch are that it has a great appearance and contains a light sensor which will automatically adjust the brightness of the display. It operates on the latest version of Android Wear. The biggest con is consumers have come to think of this product as a more of a bulky watch. You may want to go in with your siblings on this product as well, as it costs $295.00 on the market.
• Apple Smartwatch: Here's a doozy of a price for you at a present value of $649.00. Maybe a bit too pricy? Possibly. But if you are looking for the pinnacle of smartwatches that's the price you'll have to pay (no pun intended). This device has 38mm stainless steel casing, contains an awesome fitness tracker, large number of apps and an excellent messaging system. The only real complaint of this product is that the battery life is only a little more than a day, which considering the other options on the market, is not too bad of a deal.
TV Streaming: Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu are just a few of the TV streaming services that have altered the cable television world over the past couple of years. As cable seems to be more a thing of the past, your father will absolutely love these cable alternatives that are less expensive and offer some great viewing options.

• Apple TV: This is a more expensive option at a price of $103.71, but one of the features that sets this device apart is the awesome voice search function through Siri. As any of us know, one of the most valued devices your father takes pride in is his remote control. Well good news... Apple TV boasts the best operating remote control on the market. The only reported con to this streaming service is the price.
