7 Ring Smart Ring
7 Ring isn’t a regular health-centric smart ring like the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the Noise Luna Ring. This is a cool contactless payment smart ring which needs KYC for active usage. Since it comes void of health tracking features, it becomes the most affordable alternate to the Galaxy Ring in India. The 7 Ring is also crafted using aerospace grade material and has a scratch-resistant Zirconia Ceramic (ZrO2) coating for glaze finish. It features IP68 certification for water and dust resistivity.
