Today in Gear: Product News Done Quick

We’re a long way from having driverless cars as neighbors along our local roads and highways, but Ford’s Argo AI has recently made a major leap forward. Restricted to Argo team members only, Ford’s driverless cars — powered by Argo AI — are hitting the road in Austin and Miami. These active tests aren’t just ferrying employees around, they’re gathering information and helping to shape the suite of services Argo plans to provide to rideshare and logistics companies (among others) down the line when it’s tech is ready to really hit the road. Check out the autonomous cars in action here. Today we’re talking details on the part-luxe dive watch/part-fitness tracker ScanWatch Horizon, the off-roading adidas Terrex Agravic Flow 2.0 and an upgrade to the classic inflatable pool. This is Today in Gear.

Withing’s ScanWatch Horizon is the best of a luxury watch and fitness tracker, combined.

SmartWatch

If you were to look at Withing’s ScanWatch Horizon quickly, you’d think you’re looking at just another (albeit, solid) luxury chronograph. That assumption, however, would be selling things short. The ScanWatch Horizon isn’t just a luxury steel bracelet diver, it serves as full on fitness tracker, monitoring sport sessions, sleep and heart health. If you like the idea of a fitness tracker but can’t imagine not wearing a watch, this blends the best of both worlds.

J.Crew makes a case for a spot in your tote bag rotation.

J.Crew

Let’s not kid ourselves, we all have a tote bag “library,” stuffed with everything from promotional bags to rugged totes that haul everything from your office gear to your groceries. J.Crew’s Seaport Tote bag is one of the best values we’ve seen, coming in durable canvas and a few color options. It’s a classic style that won’t just look great next to the rest of your wardrobe, but be just as functional 10 years from now as it will be today.

No pool this summer? No problem.

Huckberry

Who says inflatable pools are just for kids? Designed to upgrade the suburban backyard staple to something that could hold its own on a city balcony or rooftop, Mylle founder Kris Myllenbeck wanted to create a modern inflatable pool that would hold up (and not look like it came straight out of a kids birthday party). With a built-in drain and an easy inflate-deflate valve, this portable pool should be a breezy to pack up and take just about anywhere.

Conquer trails of all kinds with the adidas Terrex Agravic Flow 2.0 running shoe.

Adidas

Terrex — effectively adidas’ answer to Nike ACG — has dropped a 2.0 edition of the Agravic Flow running sneaker, packing a Gore-Tex membrane on the upper for a breathable shoe that can still seal out moisture. Proprietary Lightstrike cushioning means that each stride will be supportive and comfortable, no matter where you’re running. A lugged Continental Rubber outsole (a perk on many adidas models) means you’ll have superior grip in any weather. If you’re looking for a new trail runner for this summer, this should be a solid pick.
