"The smartwatch got smaller. Then the smart ring arrived. Now Rogbid has released something that splits the difference and costs less than a nice dinner: the Fusion, a hybrid device that looks like someone shrunk a fitness tracker and stuck it on a ring band. For fifty dollars, you get a legitimate OLED display, actual health sensors, and the ability to wear your technology on whichever body part feels right that day."
"The Fusion measures 20.6 x 21 x 8.2mm and weighs about as much as three quarters stacked together, yet it monitors heart rate, tracks sleep, measures blood oxygen levels, and survives underwater thanks to 5ATM water resistance. Rogbid includes both a finger-sized adjustable strap and a wrist band, turning the device into whatever you need depending on your outfit, activity, or tolerance for questions from strangers. Battery life hits five days with regular use, which means this tiny screen actually pulls its weight between charges."
"You have to give Rogbid credit for seeing Casio's G-Shock ring sell out and thinking, "we can do that, but with actual tech inside." That Casio piece was pure nostalgia, a fun gimmick that proved a market existed for finger-watches. Rogbid's move feels like the logical, if slightly unhinged, next step: taking the novelty and injecting actual utility. We're talking over 100 sports modes, which is a software problem I don't even want to think about navigating on a half-inch screen."
The Fusion is a compact hybrid wearable measuring 20.6 x 21 x 8.2mm and weighing roughly like three stacked quarters. The device features a legitimate OLED display, optical heart rate sensor, blood oxygen monitoring, motion tracking, and sleep tracking. The Fusion offers 5ATM water resistance and delivers about five days of battery life with regular use. Rogbid includes a finger-sized adjustable strap and a wrist band so the device can be worn on a finger or wrist. The device supports over 100 sports modes, prayer time reminders, and a couple interaction mode for sharing codes. The Fusion sells for fifty dollars.
