Technology is advancing more and more, and we find new devices that, a few years ago, we saw very far away, and that we could not even imagine, but that today seem normal to us, even though many people still do not use them.
Today, we will see a new smart ringfrom a company called Pebble, and that will be compatible with our iPhones, so if the function it has fits us, it could be a very interesting purchase, so let's see how it works.
Index 01: the new ring for your iPhone
Pebble, the brand that became famous years ago for its smart watches, has returned with something very different: a ring. But it is not a ring to count steps or measure sleep. His idea is much simpler: don't forget your ideas.
The ring is called Pebble Index 01 and it works in a very simple way. It has a small button. When something occurs to you (an idea, a reminder, something you want to do later) You press the button, you speak, and when you release it it's done. The ring sends what you have said to your mobile and the phone converts it to text.
You don't have to take your phone out of your pocket or unlock anything. It's like jotting down a mental note, but really. Then, in the app, you can read what you recorded, save it as a note, set a reminder, or send it to other apps if you want. In the same way, we could record a conversation without the other person knowing, something legal, at least in Spain, if we participate in it, so it can help us, for example, remember an important point of the talk.
As for the design, it is a quite discreet metal ring, waterproof and with various sizes and colors. Another curious detail is that it does not charge like other devices. Take a battery that lasts many months, even more than a yearand when it runs out the idea is to recycle the ring, something that may not convince everyone.
Pebble doesn't try to make this ring do it all. It doesn't measure your health or compete with smart watches. It is designed for absent-minded, creative or simply busy people, who tend to have ideas at the wrong time and do not want to always depend on their mobile phone. All this for a price of about 75 dollarsawaiting its worldwide release.
In short, it is a small object for a very specific thing: not losing thoughts along the way. If you ever think of something good and you think “I'll write it down later” and you never do it, this ring is right for that problem. If you are one of those who prefers to take out your iPhone and take a note, it may not help you, but for many people, it will be the way to avoid missing that hairdresser appointment that you always think you remember, and then you don't know what time they told you.
And you, what do you think of this ring? Do you think it's interesting, or a waste of money? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
