Voila: you’re a stalker with an arrhythmia fetish. You just buy the ring, wear the ring, pair the ring with the app, and then pair your account with your partner’s account. The ring leverages technology, both embedded in its body and built into the smartphone app, to sense, send and replicate the throbbing of a heart rhythm. Being billed as “the most sophisticated ring in the world” (take that Hobbit dorks), the Heartbeat Ring is a piece of smart jewelry that connects to an app and allows you and your partner-both wearing an app-connected ring-to feel each other’s heartbeat in real time. The Touch is now taking pre-orders for their HB Ring. Businesses are developing smart jewelry that can track your calorie intake and notify you of text messages and upcoming appointments, so why not carve out a ring that provides a vague sense of whether your partner is sitting, sprinting, humping or worried about losing stuff at the beach / deceased. What better form to facilitate that foursome of TendernessTech than the ever-popular ring. What these existing solutions lack however, in addition to their invaluable functionality, is an attractive blend of elegance, practicality and symbolism. There’s another wrist-based wrap that you can tap to send your partner a vibration and a light signal (kind of like Morse code) there are of course “adult” contraptions out there that allow people to remotely control their lover’s “massager” and for the more adventurous among us, there is an emerging technology available to the most dedicated of proximity-deprived partners called your smartphone. One company has developed a wristband paired with an under-the-pillow speaker so that a couple can hear each other’s heart beats à la shaky-water-cup-in-Jurassic-Park.
Or really anything other than these rings.As we have previously discussed on SnapMunk, there are a number of technology-based solutions out there attempting to help couples stay close even when they are far apart. You’ll get about 14 hours of active battery time before needing to recharge the ring.īut even if you are “Scrooge McDuck diving into a pool of money”-level wealthy, it just seems like there are better ways to spend $600, or even several thousand dollars, that might be more beneficial to your relationship. The devices come in two color schemes: black stainless steel ($600 for a set) and rose gold ($3,000 a set). Otherwise, things get pretty morbid in a hurry.) Aesthetically, the rings are kind of cool looking, with a thick, black exterior band that lights up with a thin red line while it pulses to your significant other’s heart rate. (That is assuming your partner’s ring is on, charged, and connected to a phone that is also on and charged. Then whenever you want to check in, you just tap a button on the ring that will trigger your partner’s ring to send pulse data to your device.
The Touch’s HB ring works by connecting through an app on your phone, which then allows you to link the two rings even when you’re not together. (If that is fun for you, you might want to consider, you know, getting out of your relationship.) But even if I spent eight months of the year in Moscow while my partner lived in Topeka, I can’t think of any good reason to spend money on a set of tech-enabled rings that allow you to feel the other person’s heartbeat. Being far away from your significant other for an extended period of time is not fun.
