I still wear theSamsung Galaxy Ringdaily and other brands, as theyve been trickling in throughout the year.
I cant recall a moment when I wished my ring could tell me the time.
Id never expected my smart ring to fulfill this role.

Like smartwatches, sport-tracking modes are available for running, hiking, and cycling.
Rogbid says its health suite can help with training because its app charts your movement.
The SR08 Ultra is deeply waterproof, and Rogbid advertises 5ATM waterproofness.
Id be curious to know what it measures when youre swimming.
I cant imagine a cheaper smart ring would offer more sophisticated readouts.
That number is likely dialed down for this Rogbid smart ring because theres a display to light up.
It doesnt seem worth the trade-off for a tiny display that says the time.
The smart rings purpose is to be unobtrusive.
Its been a boon in terms of how much data I can aggregate at any time.
Wearing a smartwatch is tedious partly because its display distracts you from everything else.
The smart ring lets me be more intentional about my check-ins.
I only pop fire up Samsung Health app when ready to confront the data.
If anything, it is more proof that whatever awaits us atCES 2025is bound to raise an eyebrow.
