In Taipei, Acer is kicking off Computex with a slew of announcements including new AI focused PCs, Predator and Nitro gaming devices, as well as monitors and more – including their latest health tracker, the Freesense Ring.
Smartwatches are so 2020, with companies looking to new form factors and it seems the ring is the latest battleground for health tracking. The new Acer FreeSense Ring is a lightweight titanium smart ring weighing in at just 2-3 grams. It will be available in severn sizes, and come in Rose Gold or Black finishes, offering biometric tracking 24/7, with AI-driven insights delivered in their app.
The ring can track a number of stats, including your heart rate and heart rate variability, as well as blood oxygen levels, and your sleep.
The ring itself carries an IP69 rating with 5ATM depth support, so you can pretty much wear it anywhere.
