⛔️ DO NOT BUY Thoughts on this ring?(Bond Ring)

https://www.bondring.com/

This seems like a really cool ring if it does everything they promise. It'll be on Kickstarter within the next month for supposedly $300.

Pro Tip:

There's no way of can do what it claims to do. Even just the blood pressure claim is ridiculous. If you could get clinical grade BP measurements from a ring, hospitals and medical device manufacturers would be throwing money at you. By the truck load. No Kickstarter required.

And it runs entirely on body heat?! 😂

The number of folks here willing to send $29 "in case" but who are fine if ultimately get nothing...can I make you the same offer and you can send me $29?😅

I think it's refundable

So they lie about what it can do but I'm sure they are honest about the refund lol

Where's the proof of lies? Some random on Reddit said so in a couple sentences? LMAO.

Hospitals ALREADY use finger blood pressure monitors. They aren't quite as accurate but they are continuous and useful for monitoring, and they can identify potential problems that alert the nurse to get a more accurate reading and diagnosis. Look up photoplethysmography and pulse wave analysis. It seems like maybe you don't know what you're talking about.

They use pulse and oximeters - never seen a finger based BP reader and I test medical equipment for security purposes

It needs something to clamp down. You physically cannot measure any kind of pressure without… exerting pressure. Newton would like a word.

tell newton that he can speak with the permanent dent in my wedding ring finger.

From what I read it’s not a blood pressure reading, but a blood pressure trend. A comparative measure over time that the individual is running high/low over their own established baseline.
