i would be interested in a ring-style smart device for my fitness apps. blood pressure and the rest of it. a cooler way to accessorize than the 'cancer charity' plastic wristbands that seem to proliferate.
The vice principal I am doing my internship for is the husband of the super Nintendo of special education.

They are doing this thing where they had to special ed kids sell rubber wristbands to support autism or something like that. My boss wears it and now I wear one too to kiss his ass.

You got to dress like your boss.

those bands were super popular in the UK too for the longest time. all for a good cause, of course, but i just don't want to wear (yet another) one to track basic fitness metrics. at the moment the only fitness data i track is the stuff my iphone captures from my pocket. i don't want to wear a watch or bracelet all day for the advanced shit. it's too much. a signet ring, maybe.

They became popular with the Lance Armstrong thing.

I googled "Lance Armstrong Twitter" to see what he was up to. I assumed he went MAGA. Google Auto completed a suggestion "How did Lance Armstrong Die?" Funny thing is he's not dead...

Maybe we should give smart rings AI. I am sure people would appreciate "You are having a medical emergency" notifications in bed.

Seiko Presage is a great watch. Good time pieces at reasoble prices. Its the first watch it bought myself and helped get me into horology.

Im coming around after years of loathing the look, use, and feeling of smartwatches. I'd like a GPS I can take on longer hikes/backpacking trips and to use for yardage during golf rounds, but im struggling to justify the use cases vs. the price point for most smartwatches.

I bought my gf the Apple Watch S10 for Christmas. She loves it.

i think wireless buds paradoxically look dumber than wired earphones. i like over-ear earphones, clearly for their performance benefits but also because you look like a douche talking to yourself with wireless buds in when in public.
Same. Never been a fan of ear buds (wired or wireless). Refuse to wear them except on airplanes.
