What were they smoking when calling it a "smart ring" in the article? This is basically a very small watch on someone's finger.
I think i love it. I have to use a timer and stopwatch a lot at work, as well as write down times.
I write with my left hand and throw with my right, which leads to using both hands interchangeably for a lot of tasks. I scrape watchfaces quite often when I get out of position by using a different hand in a weird scenario.
Plz let it be cheap!
I need a watch for work, yo. And I play rough in the wrist area.
I think the funny part is the hope that it will be cheap
Ah. Thought I was getting called a nerd again
So innovative! I've grown tired of having to use the thing on my wrist to time things. Who'd have thought of sticking in your finger!?!
I want one. Looks funny
Their smart ring looks strange. Like a image GenAI hallucination that put a classical Casio watch on a finger.
ಠ_ಠ
That's... One of the weirder looking things I've ever seen...
What is this, a ring for elephants? It needs to be at least three times smaller/thinner.
I don't get it, ring watches have been around for like 30+ years. Besides it lighting up, not sure why it is worth more than the $5-10 ones I can buy now.
I don't hate this idea....
But that ain't it
Something that just does symbols from the surface of just below to tell me time, weather, and maybe a single play pause type button on tap would be interesting though.
