Shannon Amole, Week 5, Post 2
As Valentine’s Day quickly approaches, many people are looking for a gift to pass along to their significant other. Chocolates, flowers, stuffed animals, cards, ect. seem to be the go to for many. However, I recently came across this product and think it may be a gift given by those in a long-distance relationship. The product I want to introduce is an HB Ring. It is a ring that pulses with the real time heart beat of one’s significant other. The rings are connected via app and Bluetooth and they allow the other person wearing it to feel your heart beat. You can also save a heartbeat pattern for when the other’s heartbeat is not available.
The rings are $599 a pair or $2990 a pair for the 18k gold set. Currently all of the products are sold out. This surprised me considering the price is not reasonable for the average person. This product fits into the “smart wearable” category that we discussed in class. It is part of the internet of things. This product stuck out to me and I think it’s a great idea. It’s a neat gift and seems great for those who are distant. I personally would not be able to afford it, but if more companies develop the technology, the product may be made more available.
What are your thoughts on this product? Would you be interested in buying one?
