While Apple, Olio and Opening Ceremony are already tinkering with premium1 materials in the smartwatch space, other wearable devices haven't received just as much love.
虽然Apple、Olio以及Opening Ceremony公司纷纷已经在智能手表领域推出了采用高端材料制造的产品，其他穿戴设备远没有智能手表受欢迎。
But Omate and French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro launched the Ungaro ring, a simple notification wearable that ranges from $500 to a whopping $2,000. Why the premium? For one, the Italy-made ring is plated with either 18K gold or silver, and there are five options for the gemstone: blue topaz, opalite, onyx,
sapphire2 and
ruby3.
As for the "smart" part, this ring links to your phone -- iOS first, Android due Q1 2016 -- over Bluetooth LE, and will only vibrate when you receive a call or text message from your one and only selected contact. The tiny battery inside lasts up to five days.
Admittedly, this isn't the first vibrating ring on the market. The summer collection of the Ringly is now available for pre-order, going from a more
affordable4 $195 to $260, but it also benefits from a multi-color LED to indicate which app is pinging you. The Ungaro ring's approach, on the other hand, is
intentionally5 simple: no LED, and vibrates for just one contact. If you can stomach the premium prices for this perfume bottle-inspired ring, then keep an eye out for it at Richline Group's
retail6 partners this November.
