IDK, this one seems pretty unsurprising. That’s a damned tiny package, I can’t really see another way of fastening it together.
Now if it were me, that would be a reason not to make the damn thing in the first place but what do I know…
You sound like one of them damn commies! /s
Me as I read the title: “well, obviously, they must have sunk everything into epoxy to make it waterproof and relatively resistant”.
The article: “all the components are covered in epoxy!”
Well, duh.
No shit
Lmao bruh, that thing is the size of a single screw, you expected them to hold it together with what exactly? Of course it’s all glued and soldered up.
Samsung Galaxy Ring, or How To Sell eWaste For 500 Bucks Apiece.
You realize that simply because of its size, there’s less e-waste here than like an electric toothbrush, right?
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I’m not opposed to wearables, but we’re just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech’s application. I’d say we shouldn’t even produce something we couldn’t then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
I’ve ordered the ring because I have the watch, but I don’t like wearing the watch at home. Sometimes I put it on at home, but instinctively I find myself taking it off within a few hours. I especially don’t like wearing the watch while I sleep. However I have no problem wearing a ring all day. The form factor itself is more advantageous for me, because it’s the difference between wearing it or not. When I leave the house, I have no problem putting my watch on and keeping it on. Same way I don’t have a problem putting on shoes and keeping them on. But like the watch, I don’t like wearing shoes at home.
In this point we disagree, and this being the internet, I feel the need to specify that I’m not being combative, nor mean any disrespect toward your preferences or beliefs.
In my opinion, we’re at the point where we have other, bigger things to prioritise over creature comforts.
Man, if you’re going to start gatekeeping about pointless tech than a fitness band is also pointless.
Go out and run til you’re tired and eat right and you’ll get fit.
I honestly don’t see the fitness tech in itself as useless, it holds clear benefits for us. I’m just not one to encourage creating increasingly wasteful and predatory iterations of said tech.
If you have to argue about how little ewaste it creates when it gets thrown away then the thing shouldn’t have been made in the first place

Is anyone surprised at this point?
so it’s the same garbage as oura ring. it also causes rash to many users.
Whst does it actually do?
Collect data
Tf is that, this device sound like it’s sort of sex toy.
Smart cockring for micro penis
Damn I would miss a lot fewer text messages if I wore one of those.
who asked for this?
If you ever want a giggle, read the GSMArena comment sections!
this thing would last a week with me before being broken, my hands are always smashing against something.
It’s pretty small, so maybe not.
Small enough to use it as a cockring? Asking for a friend
Maybe for this cock.
