MODERATORS
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!?!
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...
I want one. Looks funny
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.
