What are some (somewhat exotic) smart wearables that are NOT shit? I don't mind a subscription but it has to be worth it.

Feel free to suggest wearables in the following categories but from what I've seen, in each category the most popular brand has a scammy business model :

>Smart wristbands

>Whoop 5.0
You pay $400 once for the device (which is probably just as good as any other wristband of the same price range) and then it's $30 per month to use their "algorithms" to get insights into your health metrics.
You're basically paying a company to exploit your health data.


>Smart rings

>Oura 4.0
Has shit battery life compared to competition, ring in itself is nothing really special and is also subscription based.
Also they recently partnered up with Palantir.

>RingConn
Better battery life and no subscription and seems to be on par with Oura 4 but it's chinese and they're being sued for copyright infringement by Oura.


>Smart glasses

Most of the glasses I have found have these basic features :
>Video recording
>AI integration with voice commands
>Hands free phone calls
>Music

The ones that have actually interesting features such as screen projection need a mobile phone to work (you connect the glasses to your phone and use it as a controller) or a computer.

The only ones I could find that are available on the market and seem to have integrated UI are "Rokid" and it's very basic UI so nothing like pic related.

tl;dr Smart glasses, for now, are mostly a gimmick from what I've seen.


> Smart watches

Haven't looked into it yet.

>Smart watches
screens are just big enough to show weather radar/ maps/ typical phone notifications
but also the additional sensors like heart rate/ skin temp/ o2/ motion/ecg/ blood pressure
most batteries will last two days

probably the best every day wearable
apple or samsung are obvious leaders but google and garmin are definitely still good options

It's disappointing that a watch is the best we can do at the moment but thank you for the suggestion
