The Smarty Ring
connects to iOS or Android devices (provided they are Bluetooth 4.0 enabled),
allowing for call notifications, text and e-mail alerts, along with real time
updates from Facebook, Twitter, Google Hangout and Skype.
A 13 mm (0.5 in)
wide and 4 mm (0.16 in) thick stainless steel body forms the band of the ring,
which is waterproof and comes in sizes ranging from 15.7 mm (0.62 in) to 23.8
mm (0.94 in) in diameter. Buttons on the outer side of the ring can be used to
accept or reject incoming calls, control music playback and trigger the
connected phone's camera.
It is powered by a
22 mAh battery, which the company says will afford it a 24 hour battery life.
To recharge, the Smarty Ring comes accompanied by a wireless charging dock with
space for two rings and a smartphone. The ring is
customized through a smartphone application, which allows users to keep an eye
on five different time zones, adjust the brightness of the LED display, adjust
the volume of the ring's beeper, and assign buttons for speed dial. It could
also prove useful in preventing theft and lost devices, alerting users when
their phone is more than 30 m (98 ft) away from them – even when the phone is
in silent mode.
Aside from a stainless steel, waterproof
design, and an LED digital watch face, the Smarty Ring offers the following:
1. Incoming & outgoing call
notifications
2. Alerts for Text and E-Mail messages
3. Real time updates from Facebook, Twitter,
Hangout & Skype
4. Accept or reject incoming calls
5. Make outgoing calls to preset numbers
6. Trigger camera
7. Control music
8. Change profile
The company is
offering the Smarty Ring for $175 with
shipping estimated for April 2014.
