Smart jewelry is now being smartly priced. Thanks to a new partnership with Target, wearables company Ringly has a new collection of affordable smart bracelets that will make you look like a million bucks without costing anywhere near that. The new product line, titled Ringly GO, will set you back $125, or $40 less than the company’s other smart rings and bracelets, and promise a new, lower price point, and upgraded lifestyle platform.

The bracelets certainly don’t want for anything in the style department, as all models come with either 14k gold plating or a polished stainless steel finish. Ringly GO also features unique stones in terms of both color and pattern, and can be found on two different styles — black and blush-nude. With full-grain Italian leather straps that are both durable and interchangeable, these bracelets are made for every day and every occasion.

In conjunction with its new product offering, Ringly has also updated its app with newly integrated mindfulness exercises and content. That means that in addition to keeping tabs on your physical activity, you can also ensure that you’re being purposeful about your life and decisions by setting daily reminders to take part in guided audio meditation and breathing exercises. And of course, you can still depend on your smart bracelet to receive mobile alerts by way of vibrations and subtle light.

“Women deserve technology that help them live healthy, balanced lives without sacrificing style or comfort. The days of clunky fitness trackers are behind us,” Ringly CEO and founder Christina d’Avignon said. “With style and function being paramount, we are constantly looking at innovative and interactive ways to further our initial mission — to help make women’s lives easier — across all categories. Tracking wellness and personal health is as important as it is relevant to our culture, and therefore the logical next step for us, further supporting our belief that wearable tech can be more discreetly — and beautifully — integrated into our lives.”

At launch, Ringly GO will be available at 200 Target stores, and select other retailers.

Your Whirlpool smart oven can now act as an air fryer, too

The Whirlpool Smart Oven line is getting an air fry mode.

One of the major perks of smart home technology is that you don't necessarily have to buy a new appliance to get new features. Whirlpool made that all the more obvious at CES 2022 today when the company announced a software update coming to the Smart Slide-in Gas and Electric Ranges, as well as the Smart Single, Double, and Combination Wall Ovens through an "instant over-the-air upgrade." Imagine that: A software update that adds the functionality of a completely different appliance to something you already have.

The addition of the air fry functionality isn't all that Whirlpool smart ovens are getting, either. They'll soon be able to connect to the Yummly smart thermometer. This might seem like a minor update, but there's actually a lot of functionality packed into the smart thermometer, too. The thermometer's app has a lot of recipes packed in, and it can start preheating your oven based on which recipe you're using. The thermometer can connect to your smartphone from up to 150 feet away and can guide even the most inexperienced home cook toward a delicious finish. If you're not confident in the kitchen, the main thing to remember is that heat is your best friend and your worst enemy. Too much heat and you burn your dish, but too little and it comes out gross. A smart thermometer can help zero in that Goldilocks temperature.
