The wearable tech revolution has only just begun, but we're already seeing an even more innovative form factor than a watch for smart devices in the new Smarty Ring. As its name implies, the device is a smart ring, and just like its wrist-worn brethren, the LED-equipped Smarty Ring lets you connect to and control your iPhone or Android device over Bluetooth.
The ring is currently being funded through Indiegogo, but you'll have to hurry if you want to plunk down your cash for early access to the device, as the campaign closes Wednesday, December 11.Donations of $175 get you an Early Bird version of the Smarty Ring. The ring lets users can check the time, see if they're receiving an incoming call, or making an outgoing one; as well as get text, chat and social media notifications, not mention check the time and your phone's battery status.
A remote control next to the ring's LED display lets you accept or reject incoming calls, make calls to preset numbers, activate your phone's camera app, control music and change your user profile. Made from waterproof, surgical quality stainless steel, the Smarty Ring is designed for use by both men and women.
According to the product's Indiegogo page, the Smarty Ring will also run for an impressive 24 hours before its battery calls it quits. An available wireless charger ensures the Smarty Ring is free of any unnecessary connectors that could ruin its sleek looks.
The Smarty Ring could be the first of many smart rings to come, and we're excited to get our fingers on one. Check out the company's pitch video for more info on this high-tech piece of jewelry.

Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings.
