Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios
Who knew dating apps were a family affair! Tinder has just announced a new Matchmaker function which will give family and friends the opportunity to browse your potential matches and help you find your future Mrs. or Mr. Right. Simply invite your trusted friends and family (whether they have Tinder downloaded or not) with a link to play cupid for 24 hours. Then their recommendations will show up as recommendations on your own in-app feed. With over 75% of singles reporting that they already share about their dating life with friends multiple times a month, this new feature aims to make that influence all the more seamless (or perhaps more chaotic).
Today we’re taking a look at a nature-inspired watch collection, a portable record player and an AI-powered headset. This is Today in Gear.

The UC-PS38 Ducted Under Cabinet Range Hood features dual motors and six fan speed settings. It’s built with a perimeter suction design, which means it’s better equipped than competing hoods to reach fumes from your front burners. Traditionally, without this capability, you’d be stuck with more fumes and odors. Hauslane’s unique panel design can capture smoke from everywhere so you can cook with confidence. The hood is easy to maintain with an automatic steam-cleaning feature. It also includes added grease-catching filters — and an oil tray — to accommodate excess grease. For a limited time, shoppers can take advantage of additional savings on this sleek range hood and score their own for just $522.49.
