In celebration of Father's Day 2026, the Garmin Forerunner 165 has been put on sale on Amazon, available for R$ 1,899, with the option to pay in up to 10 interest-free installments. This sports smartwatch, originally priced at R$ 2,749, features a 30% reduction and is suggested as an ideal gift for physically active fathers.
The Garmin Forerunner 165 weighs only 39 grams and incorporates a 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen protected by reinforced glass. Its body is constructed from fiber-reinforced polymer and it has a 5 ATM water resistance certification.
This sports watch includes Garmin Coach, a feature that generates individualized training programs based on data provided by professional coaches. This tool helps runners prepare for competitions ranging from 5 KM to half marathon (21.1 KM), recording training metrics and establishing recovery routines.
Additionally, the integrated GPS allows mapping routes during outdoor exercises, providing precise data on time, distance, speed, and pace. Besides running, the device tracks several other modalities, such as cycling, swimming, yoga, Pilates, and tennis.
Beyond physical activity metrics, the smartwatch is equipped with health sensors that monitor vital parameters such as heart rate, stress levels, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep quality. All this data is used by Garmin Coach to adapt workouts to the user's specific profile.
The watch can be connected to both Android and iPhone smartphones via Bluetooth. This integration allows for receiving notifications directly on the wrist, controlling media, and making contactless payments using Garmin Pay.
Considering the promotional price of R$ 1,899 (or up to 10 interest-free installments), the Garmin Forerunner 165 offers a battery life of up to 11 days in smartwatch mode. However, when GPS and all health and activity features are used, the watch's operating time decreases to about 19 hours.
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, Samsung's premium wireless earbuds, are being sold on Amazon for R$ 1,799, with the option of installment payments up to 10 times without interest. This model has replaced its original launch price of R$ 2,099.
Launched in February 2026, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro offers high-definition Hi-Fi audio, provided by bidirectional speakers and enhanced woofers, ensuring clarity in highs and lows. A unique feature from Samsung is the new Samsung Scalable Codec (SSC), which operates at 24-bit and 96 kHz.
The earbuds incorporate adaptive ANC, a feature designed to isolate external noise, as well as 360 audio that allows executing commands, such as answering or declining calls, through head gesture recognition. For greater safety, Voice Detection prevents the isolation of traffic sounds when the user is on a call.
Integration with the Galaxy AI suite brings advanced functionalities, such as Interpreter Mode, which facilitates the translation of dialogues between speakers of different languages. Additionally, the Bixby assistant has been updated to function as an AI agent with chatbot capabilities to answer queries.
The design features new anatomical metallic stems, offering a better fit and supporting gestures, such as the pinch gesture for volume control. In terms of connectivity, the Buds 4 Pro uses Bluetooth 6.1, allowing for low latency and easy pairing with multiple Galaxy devices.
The battery life of the earbuds is up to 5 hours with ANC turned off and 7 hours with it active, as specified by Samsung. The charging case complements this duration, providing a total of 30 hours of use, and supports fast charging. Furthermore, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has an IP57 certification, indicating resistance against sweat, dust, and water splashes. There is also mention of a specific offer of R$ 1,399 in up to 10 interest-free installments.

This price represents the lowest ever recorded for the product, offering a significant discount of 39% compared to the original price of R$ 1,599. It is important to note that this promotional offer is valid only this Wednesday, the 15th.
One of the main differentiators of the Galaxy Buds 4 is support for 24-bit Hi-Fi audio, providing detailed sound quality. They also feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a function designed to filter external sounds, although it does not guarantee total isolation for user safety reasons.
Integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistants is another strong point, allowing the use of voice commands for menu navigation and searches. The earbuds support assistants such as Samsung's Bixby, as well as options like Google Gemini and Perplexity. Additionally, Galaxy AI offers features such as automatic conversation translation for users of the Galaxy line.
To improve call clarity, the Buds 4 incorporate the Voice Pickup Unit, which optimizes voice capture. The sound experience can be further personalized thanks to the adaptive equalizer, which adjusts frequencies according to each user's specific ear canal shape. In terms of connectivity, they use Bluetooth 6.1, ensuring lower latency during real-time transmissions or gaming.
Practicality is reinforced by the Auto Switch function, which allows easy switching between paired devices when the user uses the earbuds with multiple devices. Regarding autonomy, the earbuds have 45 mAh batteries, offering up to 6 hours of use with ANC activated and 7 hours without it. The charging case has its own 515 mAh battery, resulting in a total usage time of up to 30 hours for the set.
