Gerald Genta Mickey Mouse Watch $23,200

Knowing the time is important. It is important to know what time it actually is. Act fast, too – they’re only making 200 of these ultra-exclusive Mickey Mouse watches which tie in with the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar. “Your old pal Mickey” is front-center, naturally, but he’s also kicking a soccer ball. There’s nothing Mickey Mouse about the watch’s guts, though – you’ve got a 41 mm steel case and a mother-of-pearl dial where the company used 14 plates to create the color pattern of the design. In order to increase volume and brilliance, the various areas were covered with transparent lacquer. It’s also water-resistant to up to 300 feet, and it’ll go 42 hours with no charging.

Nikon Z 30 One-Lens kit $850

This is an extra-small portable mirrorless camera that does away with a traditional viewfinder (you open a monitor door mounted on the rear to see what you’re shooting) Yet it is plenty potent with the precise, rich detail the badge is known for and its size makes it easy to vlog or livestream with. Your APS-C/DX-format image sensor and EXPEED6 image-processing engine, as well as NIKKOR Z lenses, will allow you to capture high quality video.

The Z 30 One Lens Kit combines a compact, lightweight Z 30 camera with a NIKKOR ZX16-50mm f/3.5-66.3 VR lens. The NIKKORZ 16-50mm lens features a wide zoom range and built-in VR image stabilization. It is also quiet, making it great for video.

True Classic makes fine active wear, in addition to their famous t-shirts which de-chubbify men’s waists. You’ll wear these joggers while jogging but they also, believe it or not, dress it up enough to hit the mall or sit at a chain burger or Italian joint with someone who is probably dressed the same way, especially if you have kids. The point is that TC’s not just doing the spanx-for-dudes thing – you can restock your whole casual wear wardrobe from ‘em, and all of it’s high-quality, like yourself.

Zerofit Heatrub Ultimate baselayer (from $90)

Don’t forget Fruit-of-the loom long underwear or a trip to Target for a pair of pants, man. Zerofit’s Heatrub Ultimate Baselayer is like having your body wrapped in a baked potato.

Technologically enhanced ‘Heat Threads’ inside this garment are activated through movement, gently brushing against the skin to generate warmth instantly. Unlike most other baselayers, the Ultimate does not work on the basis of ‘compression for heat’ – so not only does it provide greater warmth for motorcyclists, they also don’t feel restricted by an inability to move freely. The Ultimate has been designed to work best in a temperature range of 14° Fahrenheit thru 50° Fahrenheit and Zerofit also offers Heatrub Ultimate Leggings (From $90) and Heatrub Ultimate Socks ($27) which perform in the same way as the top and are popular addition for many riders who want to be warm from top to toe.
