Yeah what on earth? It's not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn't try to be. It's a watch in ring form.

Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don't see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.

It's not like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it's not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product would be, or when anything about any EV would have to have Tesla in the title (e.g. "Is this EV a Tesla KILLER???")

I'm not much of a ring wearer, I don't even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.
