After a long wait, Garmin and Deezer today announced the immediate availability of the Deezer app for Garmin’s music-compatible fitness watches and multi-sport devices. The streaming music app allows Deezer fans to sync their playlists to their fitness tracker for listening offline while they enjoy a quiet stroll around town or push themselves to set a new PR.
Support for Deezer was first announced for the Forerunner 645 Music, which was Garmin’s first wearable to include onboard music. The tracker hit retail shelves earlier this year and was well received. Music is Garmin’s theme in 2018. This highly requested feature landed on a handful of new devices including the D2 Delta series of aviator watches, the Fenix 5 Plus series of multisport watches, and the vívoactive 3 Music.
The new Deezer app allows users to sync more than 100 songs to their watch. These songs can be pulled from a variety of curated workout playlists or the user’s favorite playlists. The app also supports Deezer’s popular Flow personalized playlist. Flow learns what music you like and creates an always-changing playlist that pulls its selections from current songs, new releases, and old favorites.
The Deezer app can be downloaded from the Garmin Connect IQ store via the Garmin Express desktop app or the Garmin Connect mobile app on an Android or iOS device. Music is synced via Wi-Fi so the watch must be connected to a wireless network before the songs can be transferred to the device. Once the app is installed and Wi-Fi is enabled on the device, Garmin owners can open the media player to access the Deezer service and begin selecting their favorite tracks and playlists.
To entice people to listen to music on their watches, Garmin is offering three free months of Deezer Premium to its watch owners in the U.S. The premium service provides access to the streaming music service’s 53 million tracks, albums, and playlists. Users can create playlists of their favorite songs or browse through the channels to discover new music. Deezer Premium also includes ad-free listening and unlimited skips so users can dial in on the music they enjoy the most. Once the three-month trial is over, users can cancel their subscription or choose to keep the service for $10 per month.
The domain of wearable devices has grown by leaps and bounds, not just in terms of mass adoption, but also owing to some astounding innovations. Wearable heart rate sensors can now measure everything from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to ECG in form factors ranging from a watch to finger rings.
These sensors, however, come with an inherent set of problems. Motion artifacts arising from movement or vigorous activity alter the blood flow and affect their accuracy. Optical heart rate sensors (photoplethysmography or PPG tech) also struggle with darker skin tones, tattoos, or even body placement.
There’s grooming, and then there’s grooming with intention. If your current routine feels more like a chore than a ritual, it might be time to rethink your tools.

Right now, it’s available for $169.99 (11% off the usual $189.97), and you can drop that price even further to $159.99 when you subscribe to the Chairman Pro Package + Peak Hygiene plan. Throw in free shipping, and it’s a solid deal on a seriously well-thought-out kit.
One kit. Total control.
At the heart of the package is The Chairman™ Pro Electric Foil Shaver, MANSCAPED® top-tier tool designed for guys who want versatility and comfort in equal measure. This isn’t your dad’s shaver—it comes with two interchangeable SkinSafe® blade heads: a four-blade foil for smooth, clean-shaven skin, and a stubble trimmer that nails that 5 o’clock shadow look without wrecking your neckline.
Want a little definition without going full lumberjack? The included two length-setting stubble combs help dial in the perfect length. With FlexAdjust™ Technology that adapts to every jawline and a precision trimmer edge for hard-to-reach spots, this thing is engineered for the real world—where your face doesn’t grow hair at perfect right angles.
On today’s special edition of You Asked, we tracked down each of our editors and put them on the spot to find out what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw at CES 2025 in Early January. Let’s find out what they had to say.
Panasonic Z95B
There’s been some really cool TV tech at CES, but the thing I’m most excited about is the new Panasonic Z95B. Instead of the regular OLED display structure we’ve seen in recent years with MLA technology, this uses a four-layer panel structure. It features individual red, green, and blue layers (two of the latter) for the emissive light.
