Samsung and Apple gear up for bright rings as budget options hit the market

Although Samsung and Apple are still developing their intelligent rings, cheaper alternatives have already appeared in stores. These budget-friendly options have many exciting features and won't drain your wallet. Are you ready to explore the new wave of intelligent wearables? If so, let's check out what's available together.

Smartwatches and smartbands have firmly established themselves on the shelves of electronics stores and our wrists. Every notable gadget manufacturer now offers one, and meanwhile, everyone is searching for newer and more intriguing solutions. This pursuit of innovation often aims to reduce the size of devices. After all, some people may want to be smart but are waiting specifically for bright rings so they don't have to part with their favorite traditional watch.

Is the so-called bright ring the next big thing? It's hard to answer that question because this segment of devices is just beginning to take off. The first models are already on sale and are priced attractively enough that many people can afford to experiment. Let's take a look at what's currently on store shelves.

The first is the bright ring Bemi Revo, which the manufacturer describes as an intelligent ring. It is made of ceramic material and stainless steel. It features a pedometer, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level, and sleep monitoring. It also has a Bluetooth module to transmit data to a smartphone app, enabling constant health monitoring. An excellent addition is the ability to control your smartphone's camera, meaning you can say goodbye to the self-timer.

On the outside, the Bemi Revo looks like an elegant ring, making it a perfect complement to your outfit. It is available in several colors and sizes. The manufacturer states that the device weighs only 0.18 oz. The outer layer is made of polished ceramic, while the inner layer is made of medical-grade stainless steel 316. The ring meets IP68 standards, making it waterproof and dustproof.

How long does the battery last? According to the manufacturer, the charging station has a battery capacity of 400 mAh, which can fully charge the ring in one hour. A fully charged station can replenish the ring's battery up to 15 times. The ring can also last up to 7 days on a single charge.

The intelligent ring Ice Ring offers features similar to those of the Bemi Revo, including heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, activity tracking, and stress level monitoring. It differs in its construction, using titanium, which makes it weigh only 0.11 oz. The Ice Ring also meets IP68 standards, meaning it can be used in the rain and while washing hands.

It comes in three colors—black, gold, and silver—and several sizes, allowing you to match it to your style and taste easily. The 20 mAh lithium-polymer battery provides up to 6 days of runtime. Charging is done via a magnetic base and takes just 30 minutes.
