Acer is bringing some really impressive computing gear at the computex event in Taipei this year. Smooth Swift Edge 14AI, which is about half a pound lighter than the MacBook Air, which is for the Sleek Predator Triton 14 AI Gaming Laptop, the company has caught a lot of eyeballs.
The biggest surprise came as a change in the direction of wearballs in Acer’s innings, and in particular, smart rings. In the ongoing show, the company revealed the Acer Freasens, a light smart ring that looks very clean and is full of health-sensing features, but with a welcome surprise in the tow.
How does Acer’s smart ring stand up?
Acer’s freesense does not require membership of other installed players such as Amazfit, Samsung, Ultrahuman, RingConn, and more. “Users have complete access to all health data without additional membership fees, causing the Frequency Ring to become a practical and reliable daily welfare companion,” They say Acer. This is a huge breath of relief.
Ora is one of the biggest names in the smart ring segment. Nevertheless, one of the most controversial elements of owning your smart rings is a membership model. If you are already paying hundreds of dollars to own a hardware, it makes very little understanding to pay an additional fee to reach a full suit of health facilities.
Acer’s freesiness makes sense
Of course, expert-governed exercise sessions such as ad-on allowances often come at a premium, and it is a model, even Apple’s choice has adopted its smartwatch. But there is not a membership, neither in the wrist wearable section, nor in the smart rings ecosystem. A few days ago, WHOOP faced a uniform backlash on its membership-based upgrade policy reversal and quickly improved a course.
What else does it offer?
Acer’s freesiness smart ring weighs more than just two grams and it comes in seven size options. It is designed with a vacuum-plated process and PVD coating on top for additional flexibility from titanium alloy. The color options on the table are rose gold in the matte finish and black with bright polish on the top. The build is IP68-certified (5atm), which means that you can take it for a bath without worrying about frying its circuit.
As far as health sensing chops are concerned, it can measure heart rate, heart rate variability and blood oxygen saturation level. Sleep analysis is also part of the package, with stage-based breakdowns and continuous tracking. It has been collected based on a biomarker, the fellow app will also offer personal guidance and at the same time create a comprehensive wellness report.
Acer has not yet announced pricing, but should not go beyond the $ 300-400 bracket in view of the facilities on the proposal. The choice of circular ring 2 has already integrated the ECG measurement and blood pressure sensing at an introductory inquiries of $ 239, although the final sticker value is $ 549 a pop.
