No other tracker that I’ve tested this year has gotten more questions than a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). First off, people tend to think I’ve contracted a serious health condition when they see it embedded in my upper arm. No, it’s not—it’s just a sensor with a tiny filament that checks on the glucose levels in my interstitial fluid. I’m pretty sensitive to sugar, so whenever I eat a cookie or even a few bites of white rice, my phone alarms, “No! Stop it! Put that down!”

I find this stressful, but I understand many people find it appealing to be told on a minute-to-minute basis to put the cookie down. If this is you, Abbott is currently offering 15 percent off the Lingo ($42, $7 off) with the code SUMMER15. I’m currently adding this to the list of our Best Fitness Tracker Deals, along with a few Withings deals. Go ahead and check it out!

Before we decided to separate personal, portable fans from household fans (be on the lookout for a brand-new guide soon, from all-star contributor Kristin Canning, of Best Treadmills and Best Bug Sprays fame), I tested the $90 Ultra2 hand fan from Jisulife. It’s bulkier and heavier than other hand fans, shaped like that thing they use at the doctor to look in your ears, and with a conical concentrator attachment that makes it look even more similar. Why does it usually run $90, you might ask? Because it blasts 1,614 feet/minute of air. And yes, I checked on my anemometer.

For reference, this is a stronger force than most full-sized household fans. It’s also extremely loud, with a high-pitched jet engine-like sound clocking in at 60 dB. The average adult would likely be embarrassed to use this in public, but my 12-year-old son is obsessed with it, and honestly, if I were going somewhere super hot and humid where heatstroke was a genuine concern, I’d probably take this. Especially if it were $15 off, which it is now.

Here’s a rather well-known secret: Buying last year’s premium TVs costs the same as buying this year’s midrange models. If you’re not onto that trick, you’re missing out on squeezing every last drop of TV performance for your dollars. Maybe the best argument for this principle is the LG C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends), which looks markedly better than anything you can buy from those midrange LED TV brands. We’re talking about spacey black levels and punchy brightness for eye-popping contrast, colors so accurate and vibrant they rewrite the backdrops and foregrounds of your favorite shows and movies, and brilliantly clear picture processing to surface every detail in your best 4K and HD videos.

The C4 doesn’t stop there, providing excellent gaming chops by way of lightning-fast input response, a 144Hz max refresh rate (read: very high), and a four-pack of HDMI 2.1 inputs so you never have to even think about where to plug in your game consoles or PCs. This is still one of the best TVs you can buy, and the 65-inch model is now at a price that’s hundreds less than what I paid for my LG C1 55-inch five years ago, and on par with plenty of this year’s medium-good models. If you’ve been thinking about grabbing one, now is the time.

If you’re looking for a way to get fit fast, I highly recommend peer pressure. For no real reason except pure boredom and being trapped inside by heat, several friends peer-pressured me yesterday into signing up for fall trail races once the weather cools off.

If you’re also going a bit stir-crazy, I recommend looking at our health and fitness guides, which include the Best Running Shorts, Best Running Shoes, and the Best Running Underwear to Beat Burn on Your Bits. I usually use Body Glide, which is also on sale, but legendary ultrarunner Courtney Dauwalter uses Squirrel’s Nut Butter, so that is a potent argument in favor, for me.
