Smartwatch took a long time before finally reaching the

wearable devices, such as the smart ring? This device is still not so
mainstream, and one of the reasons may be because the manufacturer hasn't found

forward the notifications and as electronic payment tools. In the other hand,
forwarding notifications can be done by smartwatch, while the electronic
payment can be applied only in a number of countries. So what exactly is unique
feature that can be offered by a smart ring?
