Sick of paying for several different streaming services? Well, a bundled plan may be on the horizon. New rumors of a mega-bundled streaming service have surfaced, with both Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish and Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav affirming the idea. Of course, praise for the concept is still speculative (and broad), but the idea is gaining traction after Disney’s success in bundling its own Disney+ service with Hulu and ESPN+. Plus, given Verizon’s ongoing success in selling Netflix, Paramount+ and Showtime in its own bundle, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before these brands start cashing in for themselves.

Today we’re taking a look at the new Hamilton Khaki Field Models, an ultralight backpacking pack and plant-based tinned "fish". This is Today in Gear.

The new watches retail from $1,145 to $1,295, making these releases a great plus-up for the usual Khaki Field lover.
