Wth is this article, the ring is being made in celebration of them as a watch company. It's a cute little gimmicky ring because making an anniversary watch is exactly what people expect them to do.

They didn't make a ring to compete with the Oura or Samsung's whatever. The article even mentions the Timex ring watch which was similarly made because they're celebrating 170 years of being in the business. Why even bring up smart rings/watches at all?

I'm about to release a not so smart AR Headset. Super light, It won't generate fake TV screens or give information like the apple vision pro, but it will just be tinted to help bright sunlight be less bright. Still brainstorming what to call this low tech VR/AR technology.

What a moronic headline

Please focus on affordable dumb TVs – thanks.

They made awesome portable TVs like uh, 30 years ago.

That and cheap and cheerful musical keyboards.

It took me years to realize that my childhood Casio keyboard played Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and that’s why I liked the song

It’s not a smart ring, which means you can’t track your health with it

It can tell you your pulse BPM, just count how many heartbeats you get and measure one minute with the watch.

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago

aweee it's so smol

[-] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 months ago

I want this ring.

I like Casio watches, but yeah I'd pass.

And the comparison to a smart ring is pants-on-head stupid..

[-] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago

Well that's just about the cutest darn ring I've ever seen.

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

That's so obscene I'm willing to trow some money at it.

[-] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

It's the only ring I've seen in years I would actually wear.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I kinda like it but rings bother me more than watches

It was either that or show that picture of Bin Laden again.
