In most cases, if we want to control our physical activity we have to wear a bracelet a few millimeters thick. It is not that they look bad, but if you are a person who likes rings and you want to control your activity, Motiv has introduced a smart ring that will make you forget about any bracelet or smart watch, as long as what interests you is only to control your physical activity.
The ring is called Motiv, thus using the same name of the company that manufactures it as Pebble did in its day, among others. It is a waterproof ring, with Bluetooth, accelerometer, an LED and an optical heart rate monitor that is built in titanium, so it has everything you need to replace any sports bracelet on the market. The ring is designed to be a "totally discreet" sports quantifier, something that it seems you will achieve by looking like a normal ring.

Like most sports bracelets, Motiv counts steps, analyzes sleep, etc., but instead of displaying the results in a daily, weekly or monthly table, your application tells us how this data affects our health.
Another interesting fact is the way in which we will synchronize Motiv with your app: when we want to pass the data collected by the ring to your mobile application, all we have to do is spin the ring on the finger. That easy.
Undoubtedly, the ring promises and surely many of you are interested in its purchase at the moment, but at the moment I see two problems: its price is nothing less than $ 200, so we will have to think twice before buying it. Or, well, that's how it would be if it were available worldwide, since right now it can only be reserved - for shipping in spring - in the United States from this website. If it were available in your country, would you buy a Motiv?
It paints interesting, we will have to be aware. Normally for these gadgets to work well, they must have a great application behind them that synchronizes well, that shows the data well and that is easy to use and that is usually where the manufacturers go the most wrong. We will see what it offers us and how.
