If you're thinking about getting a bluetooth wearable notifications device then perhaps you'd consider getting the Smarty Ring instead of a regular old smartwatch. While it could just as likely be vapourware, the Smarty Ring is one of those crowd funded projects where you get email, social media and other app notifications directly to your finger where the bluetooth enabled Smarty Ring is worn. It can also be used to tell time, accept or reject calls, make outgoing calls (but not directly), trigger the camera, control music and change your profile through buttons on the side of the ring. The ring itself is a rather thick stainless steel device with embedded circuitry and has a 24-hour battery life. It can be charged wirelessly.
According to the Indiegogo campaign site it needs to reach another $9000 (RM28840.50) in the next 50 hours, but the Smarty Ring makers say that they will still go on with it even if the funding goal isn't reached. For now, you can get the Smarty Ring from $50 (RM160) for the tracker version, $70 (RM224) for the clock version and $100 (RM320) for the Remote version. The full notification enabled Smarty Ring is available from $175 (RM560). For more information go to the Smarty Ring site or check out the video below:
