As technology evolves, new gadgets constantly emerge, and one such device that has seamlessly integrated into our daily lives is the fitness tracker. Over time, such devices have become essential in tracking our health and fitness goals. However, fitness trackers have now leaped forward, transforming into the smart ring. These sleek, electronic bands worn on
What a load of slop that reads like an advertisement for the rings mentioned. It doesn’t do anything better than existing fitness tracking watches, it uses the exact same technology but with the massive downside of having a lithium battery strapped around your finger. There are already reports of the batteries swelling on peoples fingers and causing dangerous situations as you cannot just cut them off like a you could a watch.
On top of that a lot of these ring companies you have to pay a monthly subscription to even access this “superior data”
They also aren’t really tracking fitness, you can’t track runs or rides or swims like you could with a watch. If anything it is a sub standard wellness tracker and the only real “benefit” I can see for people would be the fact they are less bulky when sleeping for people who don’t like wearing a watch. Which is good as long as you don’t wake up one morning with a new fire hazard trapped on your finger.
Fuck this noise.
Posts like this are a fucking cancer. Go back a couple years and you’d find people crying about the dangers of putting a processor on your wrist. The world is moving forward. Battery technology is improving.
Rings are better at sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, temperature monitoring. They last on average a week compared to a watch which lasts a day if you’re lucky.
Watches can track more data, due to their size and processing capabilities. But rings are here to stay and will only get better with time.
As for the idea that Big Smart Ring came together to pay for an article, get a fucking life.
