Wearables are a hot topic in the technology world right now. While the most popular ones tend to be in the category of watches or fitness related, there are a few companies out there who aren’t fans of the design aesthetic that has become a wearable norm. Below are just a few examples of companies working to combine the smart technology with fashionable accessories.

Ringly
Ringly is a ring that alerts the wearer of calls, texts and emails. The stylish smart ring was designed to discreetly alert the wearer of notifications of their choosing. The idea is for users, typically women, to know when they have an alert while their phone is packed away in their purse. Unlike many of its competitors, Ringly wanted their technology to be inconspicuous, which is why no screen is found on their products. Instead, the rings are gold-plated bands with different square-shaped, semi-precious stones. They appear to look like any other cocktail ring found in designer stores. With this strategy, Ringly hopes to appeal to both fashionistas and techies.

The technology inside the ring includes a circuit board and rechargeable battery, both incredibly small. The battery lasts between two to three days before needing to be recharged in its ring box. The ring can tell if it’s in motion, and can go into sleep mode when it’s not. The wearer uses an app to program the notifications, with four vibration patterns and five colors to choose from. The ring can also alert the user when the phone is about to be left behind, with a notification after the ring gets 15 to 20 feet away from the phone.

The rings are currently being sold through its website at a promotional price of $145.

Cuff
Cuff is another company trying to turn wearable technology into fashionable technology. Cuff has a line of jewelry and accessories that work interchangeably with a pop-out Bluetooth module called CuffLinc. The device can be worn in a bracelet, keychain, pendant, and more. The device is to be used to connect a network of friends. When a wearer squeezes their cuff, it will alert everyone else they know who wears one and shows the location of the user on their phone. It can be used as a panic button, or just a way to tell a friend where to meet you.

The CuffLinc device pairs with a smartphone and works on Bluetooth 4.0-equipped iOS devices. It’s also waterproof and has a battery that will last one year. Cuff has a long term plan to work with fashion and accessory designers to create compatible products. The products will be available this Fall for Android and iPhone and will run between $50-$150, which includes the CuffLinc.

While the products won’t ship until the Fall, you can pre-order them today on their website.
