Timex’s Best Starter Watch Under $100 Gets a Fresh Update Ahead of Summer

Timex’s best sub-$100 watch gets ready for summer with a handful of new recycled nylon straps. The Weekender now comes on a green NATO strap with white stripes and a khaki NATO strap with orange stripes in the 40mm case size; there are also solid navy and solid khaki NATO straps in the 37mm case size. No matter which option you choose, all the familiar features, like the brass case, Indiglo dial light and “cyclops” date window, will still be there.

Designed to be used with Floyd’s existing bed, the brand’s easy-to-install Lift Kit nearly doubles the headroom underneath the frame from 7.5 to 14.5 inches. The hardware itself is fashioned from 11-gauge sheet metal, while a matte coating increases longevity. In other words, the already-modular bed is even more versatile and durable. You might just keep it for life.

Toyota’s compact entry-level SUV has gotten a pretty comprehensive refresh for the 2026 model year. Improvements include front fascia treatments (including color matching on the hybrid and a wide grill for gas models), a new interior console design, optional 18-inch alloy wheels and an optional 10.5-inch touchscreen interior display. All these updates and more help get the US models more in line with international versions, making the Corolla Cross look far better than it did previously.

The Finnish adventure sports tech brand gets more specific — and more affordable — with this run-focused watch, which offers AI-backed marathon and track modes, including Ghost Runner, which lets you virtually race your friends on the same segment. Additional highlights include a total of 34 different sport modes, the brand’s fastest-ever operating system and the brightest AMOLED display in its class. Weighing just 36 grams (~1.27 ounces), the 46mm Suunto Run also boasts 12 days of battery life with daily use, MP3 music storage and a comfy textile strap.

This gold-plated stainless steel bottle opener replicates Carhartt’s distinctive zipper, which is found throughout its catalog. It is 4.3 inches long and 1.6 inches wide and comes with a wall-mounted hook for display storage.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge joins the company’s existing Galaxy S25 smartphone lineup that was released earlier this year. And, in a nutshell, the “Edge” is a thinner, slimmer, bigger and slightly upgraded version of the base Galaxy S25. It features a 6.7-inch display, matching the Galaxy S25 Plus, and measures 5.8mm in thickness, making it one of the thinnest smartphones available. It features a dual camera system, borrowing the 200-megapixel main camera from the higher-end model; the notable omission is the telephoto camera. The other big tradeoff is that it has a smaller battery than the rest of the company’s flagship lineup.
