Introduction: Liberation from Notification

Apple Watch is wonderful device, but wrist becomes “Notification Center”. Every time it vibrates, concentration is scraped.

Smart ring has no screen. No vibration (in many cases). Just collects data silently. This is “Iki” (chic).

Resilience

What makes Oura different from others is that there is index called “Resilience”. Stress itself is not evil. It is important whether it can be recovered by appropriate rest. If state of ‘Continuing to receive stress and not recovering’ continues, it issues alert.

2. The Challenger: Galaxy Ring

Samsung got serious. Biggest selling point is “No subscription”.

  • Ecosystem : If worn with Galaxy Watch, battery life extends (because measurement is shared).
  • Gesture : By double tapping finger, can release camera shutter of smartphone or stop alarm.

Conclusion: Setting KPI

In business, set KPI (Key Performance Indicator), why not set KPI of life? Do not define “Somehow dull”, but “Dull because condition score is 65”.

If quantified, can take measures (Alcohol last night was bad, lack of sleep time). Ring is debug tool attached to your body.
