Deals of Note
Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs
Save 50%: Like going to the dentist, eating raw vegetables, and getting eight hours of sleep, buying new underwear is one of those things everyone should do way more often. (The ideal cadence is to refresh everything in your underwear drawer every six months, but you should aim to do it at least once a year.) Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can pick up a pack of three black cotton boxer briefs from Calvin Klein, one of the best sellers in the category. Act fast and get them for an additional 50 percent off the list price of $40. That means they cost just $20 today. — John Zientek
Levi's Denim Essentials
Cotopaxi Outdoor Apparel
Save up to 70%: In its own words, Utah-based gear brand Cotopaxi is "into funky." That proclamation becomes evident with a quick scroll through its site — there are a lot of colors. Even muted grays and blacks seem to pop, somehow. All that vibrancy and the eclectic pairing of clashing hues belies the fact that Cotopaxi's gear is pretty damn technical. It's Fuego Down Jacket, for instance, is stuffed with 800-fill water-resistant down, and its Sambaya Stretch Fleece Crew pullover is made of Polartec's Power Stretch Pro fabric.
Both of those items are currently on sale — the down jacket is down from $230 to $140 and the pullover, originally $120, is just $30 — as part of a massive end of summer sale. In addition to those pieces, you can pick up a retro pile fleece pullover for just $42, a tech windbreaker for $32, an active tee for $15 and more.
Dr. Martens Chelsea Boots
Save 50%: If you've been dreaming of a new pair of Chelsea boots, now's your chance to score a classic pair at a great price. The Dr. Martens Graeme Chelsea boots are now 50 percent off at Nordstrom Rack.
Made in England, this slim silhouette features Portuguese leather, elasticized gussets, Dr. Martens' air-cushioned sole and Goodyear welt construction. They're available in four versatile colors and a range of sizes, but if you see a pair you like, act fast — this deal won't be around long. — John Zientek
Save 50%: The feel-good Adidas Ultraboost is normally $180 but thanks to a summer sale, you can spend just $100 on a brand new pair. These best-selling sneakers are responsive, soft and fast — you can't go wrong with a Boost purchase. Here at Gear Patrol, we're big fans of all Boost sneakers — from the Ultraboost to the Solarboost, especially for running and the gym. The Solarboost was one of our best new running shoes of 2019, that's also 50 percent off today, too and down to just $65. Head over to Adidas.com and use enter AUGUST20 at checkout to get an additional 20 percent off all sale items. — Meg Lappe
Wüsthof Chef's Knife
Save 49%: The Wüsthof Classic is made of a stainless steel composite containing more carbon than is normal for a stainless blade, granting it some of the attributes associated with carbon steel knives (like markedly easier sharpening).
Today on Ebay, you can get it for 46 percent off. That's more than $60 cheaper than its listed price on Amazon. — Will Price
Thermowork Thermapen MK4
Save $23: Ask anyone who knows their way around a grill and the answer will be the same: the meat thermometer is among the most essential grilling and barbequing accessories there is. And if you ask Cook's Illustrated, Wirecutter or professional pitmasters who makes the best ones, it's ThermoWorks.
The company's business is the monitoring and regulation of heat grills and smokers. It makes humidity trackers, pH monitors, infrared heat-sensing guns and four-channel meat probes, but its marquee product has always been the humble Thermapen. It's accurate and comes with helpful features like a rotating display, auto-enabled backlight and a category-leading IP67 waterproof rating.
Today on Thermoworks site, cop an open-box Thermapen for $23 off its usual $99 price tag. The on-sale units include sales demos, customer returns, cosmetic seconds, slightly damaged packaging and refurbished units (all come with Thermoworks' full warranty). — Will Price
12.9-Inch iPad Pro (Latest Model)
Save $399: Right now, Amazon is selling the latest 12.9 iPad Pro (Wi-Fi only) with 1TB of storage for $1,350 — that's almost $400 less than the exact same model on Apple's website. Of course, the 1TB of storage is probably overkill for most people; but if you're a photographer or videographer who edits on-the-go (or basically anybody who doesn't use iCloud for storage), this iPad Pro model makes sense.
If interested, act fast — these kinds of Amazon deals don't typically last long.

Seiko 5 SRP48X "Baby Monster"
Save 15%: Right now, you can nab a Seiko 5 SRP48X "Baby Monster" for just $152, an 15% savings off the MSRP of $180. The Baby Monster, which is available here in an orange dial, features now-iconic thick lumed indices and hands, a stainless steel 43mm case with 100m of water resistance, a mineral crystal, a notched unidirectional dive bezel and Seiko's 4R36 automatic movement with day-date complication, which is viewable via an exhibition case back. — Zen Love
Bulova Chronograph C Special Edition 96K101
Save 62%: With an unbeatable style and colorful red-white-and-blue dial, this funky chronograph features Bulova's High Performance Quartz movement and premium materials like domed sapphire crystal. It also hints at the brand's roots as an American company that was prolific in the era from which this watch takes its inspiration ('60s-'70s). At 62% off its retail price of $750, it's also a steal right now on Amazon for just $289. — Zen Love
