Motiv ring fitness tracker
The Misfit shine was one of the first devices which slimmed down fitness tracking while keeping things fashionable, but now startup Motiv wants to take this further.
Available in seven sizes, the Motiv ring, worn day or night, tracks your activity, calories burned, heart rate, and sleep patterns before sending this date to an accompanying iOS app. The $199 titanium ring, produced in rose gold and gray, can be used for roughly three to four days on a single charge.
