Would you actually use a ring that can record meetings? Looking for testers and feedbak

I’ve been working on a smart ring that can start recording with a tap. The idea is simple: I often want to capture a meeting or a random thought, but pulling out my phone isn’t always convenient.

The recording can then be transcribed and summarized with AI. The prototype is ready, and now I’m looking for a few people to actually test it in daily life and give honest feedback.

We built a prototype for sweat-based tracking. But we can't decide the best form factor.

A few weeks ago I asked:

"Could sweat be the next big thing fitness trackers measure?"

The discussion was really interesting — many people shared how they currently guess their hydration and electrolyte needs during workouts.

So we built an early prototype to explore the idea:

A wearable that uses sweat insights to better understand:

  • Hydration changes
  • Electrolyte loss
  • Exercise response

Now we have a different question:

Where would you actually want to wear it?

We are testing two designs:

Option 1: Headband

  • Direct contact with sweat
  • Lightweight
  • Designed for running, gym, and training

Option 2: Sports Visor

  • More natural for outdoor activities
  • Provides sun protection
  • Could fit into everyday training routines

The technology is the same — only the form factor is different.

For people who already use Garmin / Apple Watch / Whoop:

Which one would you actually wear during workouts?

A) Headband
B) Sports Visor
C) Neither — I prefer wrist/ring devices

Also curious:

What would make you willing to wear a new fitness device every day?

Comfort? Looks? Accuracy? Something else?

Appreciate everyone's feedback — I'll read and reply to every comment.

Could sweat be the next big thing fitness trackers measure?

We can already track our heart, sleep, and movement… but what about our sweat? I've been wondering about this lately.

Sweat is one of the few things our body constantly produces during exercise, and it may contain clues about what's happening inside.

For example:

  • Hydration changes
  • Electrolyte loss
  • How much stress your body is under

The question I'm curious about:

If your wearable could analyze sweat in real time, what information would actually be valuable to you?

Would you want to know:

  • "You are losing fluids faster than usual."
  • "Your electrolyte levels may need attention."
  • "Your body needs more recovery today."

Or would this just become another number you ignore?

For people using Garmin / Apple Watch / Whoop / Oura:

What is one thing you wish your wearable could understand about your body but currently can't?
