A SMILING SCALE

QuardioBase 2 Scale
Oura Ring Generation 3
$149.99
FROM $299
This elegant scale goes far beyond displaying weight. It helps multiple users meet and maintain fitness goals. Tracking BMI, muscle, bone, body fat, and water mass, it uses smiley faces and haptic vibration to provide feedback based on goals set in the Bluetooth- and WiFi-enabled Qardio App. It even has a pregnancy mode to keep mothers-to-be healthy.
The problem with annual physical exams is the 12 months between each one, making it difficult to track overall wellness. This ring changes all that. By tracking sleep patterns, body temperature, and heart rate variability, wearers can monitor their overall health on a daily basis. The stylish ring can also be used to assist with meditation sessions.
