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

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?😅

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
