Smart jewelry is now being smartly priced. Thanks to a new partnership with Target, wearables company Ringly has a new collection of affordable smart bracelets that will make you look like a million bucks without costing anywhere near that. The new product line, titled Ringly GO, will set you back $125, or $40 less than the company’s other smart rings and bracelets, and promise a new, lower price point, and upgraded lifestyle platform.

The bracelets certainly don’t want for anything in the style department, as all models come with either 14k gold plating or a polished stainless steel finish. Ringly GO also features unique stones in terms of both color and pattern, and can be found on two different styles — black and blush-nude. With full-grain Italian leather straps that are both durable and interchangeable, these bracelets are made for every day and every occasion.

In conjunction with its new product offering, Ringly has also updated its app with newly integrated mindfulness exercises and content. That means that in addition to keeping tabs on your physical activity, you can also ensure that you’re being purposeful about your life and decisions by setting daily reminders to take part in guided audio meditation and breathing exercises. And of course, you can still depend on your smart bracelet to receive mobile alerts by way of vibrations and subtle light.

“Women deserve technology that help them live healthy, balanced lives without sacrificing style or comfort. The days of clunky fitness trackers are behind us,” Ringly CEO and founder Christina d’Avignon said. “With style and function being paramount, we are constantly looking at innovative and interactive ways to further our initial mission — to help make women’s lives easier — across all categories. Tracking wellness and personal health is as important as it is relevant to our culture, and therefore the logical next step for us, further supporting our belief that wearable tech can be more discreetly — and beautifully — integrated into our lives.”

At launch, Ringly GO will be available at 200 Target stores, and select other retailers.

Movano unveils an affordable, woman-friendly health-tracking ring at CES 2022

Several smartwatches and health devices were unveiled as a part of wearables push at the CES 2022 exhibition. However, one product stood out thanks to its superior health-tracking technology and convenient form factor: The Movano Ring. The Movano Ring, a wearable ring in the same vein as Oura ring, has been designed for people of all ages with a women-centered focus. Health tech for women has largely been ignored by the medical tech industry, and Movano strives to change that. The Movano Ring provides actionable insights to people with a deep focus on keeping a track of their daily fitness and those with chronic illnesses.

The Movano Ring measures a user's heart rate, temperature, SpO2, calories consumed, and steps taken, among other parameters generally tracked by smart wear. However, Movano's app is the killer feature, as it can give actionable insights to users into their health so that they can make short-term, as well as long-term, changes. For example, it can share insights on how a person sleeps, so they can have better sleep hygiene. If you've been working out a lot, the app will pair that with your heart health to show a correlation, and so on. From the screenshots shared on Movano's site, it's nothing too groundbreaking, but it is presented to be more immediately actionable than the decontextualized data other fitness-focused devices share. Movano describes itself as a "non-invasive radio frequency technology platform." It is currently conducting trials on testing noninvasive glucose levels and cuffless blood pressure using this technology. It completed its third trials on 110 participants in the final quarter of 2021, with another trial scheduled forthe first quarter of 2022. At the moment, Movano is currently pursuing Class II designation to add vital medical data to its products, according to CEO John Mastrototaro. However, he revealed that the initial Ring would probably not have Food and Drug Administration clearance at launch.Although the Ring is currently still in development, its first edition is expected to launch by the second half of 2022, and that would only be a beta version. As per the company's website, it would be available in four  colors - black, silver, gold, and copper. The pricing has not yet been revealed.

Plenty of us think about our home's front door in terms of components, adding doorbells, peepholes, lighting, smart locks and the like, but rarely do we consider the door itself as a smart entity. Now, Masonite International is thinking about front doors in exactly that way, announcing today at CES 2022 that it’s making the first smart door for home use and partnering with two of the biggest names in smart entry tech to do it: Ring and Yale.

The cryptically named Masonite M-PwrTM Smart Doors are the first residential exterior doors to integrate power, LED lights, a Ring Video Doorbell, and a Yale smart lock into the door system, according to news released from the company. The fully integrated Ring Video Doorbells and Yale smart locks do not require individual device batteries, a significant change from the aftermarket consumer models most of us buy today.
