The Backpack You Can Actually Wear to Work
The general concept of a backpack hasn’t changed all that much over the years. What has changed are the materials certain brands use.
Take Moral Code’s Reese Backpack for instance. This premium canvas and leather backpack is a stylish way to lug your stuff around. It offers an elevated design that’s distinct from the versions you used in school — this is an adult’s backpack. Built with plenty of interior pockets to hold your laptop, papers and maybe even your clothes, the Reese is the ideal professional’s backpack.

Fresh Deals
Seiko 5 SNZH “Fifty Fathoms”
Save $170: The Seiko 5 SNZH “Fifty Fathoms” is a 42mm, stainless steel-cased diver with a 23-jewel Seiko 7S36 automatic movement.

TRX Sale
Save $95: When arranged thoughtfully and outfitted appropriately, a home gym can be an entirely capable alternative to a pricey gym membership. It doesn’t have to call for heavy and bulky (not to mention expensive) equipment, either. TRX’s original suspension trainer was created with this type of functional minimalism in mind — it was invented by a Navy SEAL squadron commander named Randy Hetrick who was searching for a way to stay fit during deployment.
Like an as-seen-on-TV contraption, it can be adapted to various workouts and targeted exercises. Unlike that hulking machine, it can be bought in fewer than 12 installments, especially now that it’s $95 off. — Tanner Bowden

Save 54%: While the Omega Speedmaster is considered the preeminent moon watch, there have been many timepieces that have ventured into space, including a Bulova chronograph worn by Commander David Scott on the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. The reissue retails relatively cheap, at $675 on the bracelet, but right now, Amazon is offering the watch with a 54 percent markdown, making this already-affordable tribute to space exploration even more accessible. — Zen Love
