 Hello, oh, so look what I got the new O-ring They're not shipping to a next oh Maybe you couldn't hear me because my hand was over the microphone But look what I got the new O-ring brand spanking you even though they're not shipping to a next year I've managed to get one so um, I am going to Talk about it because I literally just got given it and I'm in a little booth here That's lush like it's literally tiny So I'm going to Go through the ring go through the app show my initial thoughts first reaction and Answer any questions that you might have sorry for the sit-up. I've literally just got this ran over found a booth and We're gonna go through this ring. So give me a minute here while I sit up my laptop And I'm in this like really Tiny like it's half a meter by half a meter square booth, but it's soundproof, which is really cool So yeah, again, oh shit. I just dropped it. Sorry my language There's no kids watching I have the new ring the new O-ring just announced like an hour ago listen and I've got one of the developers phones and I've got the new app as well. And again this stuff is um Not released yet. It was literally just announced so Give me a minute grab a coffee write down all your questions because I am going to be going through everything and 30 seconds Sorry for the shaky camera. Okay, just just give me a minute write down any questions You have about this new ring. I haven't even looked at it properly myself and I haven't looked at the app I just need to sit up my my computer here So write down your questions. Give me 30 seconds and we'll get into this And Hopefully you can hear me if you if you can hear me just give me a thumbs up or say you can hear me because I'm on my phone here Okay. All right. All right. All right. We're coming Coming up right down any questions you are good to hear the sounds coming through. Okay last thing I'm just putting this up to or I do have a sneak peek article that I'm updating right now Um So if anyone wants to If anyone wants to have a read on My new article I'm gonna post that in the comment section. All right, so that's going up now Okay. Okay. Okay questions. All right. What do we got all fine sound? Hey, just fine. Awesome. All right So if you didn't know the ordering Ordering which I've been using for two years now everyone's looking at me with I don't know why I'll just show you guys what where I am see this We're at slush. It's really neat. Really neat Conference, but it's so noisy and these these little private Rooms which I'm in but they're all glass so everyone's looking at me with all right, so um Yeah, for those of you who have no idea what the ordering is this is the ordering It's a big unit it's been around for two years Amazing device for tracking sleep recovery heart rate variability respiration rate temperature For those of you who know all about our rings, you know, I'm not gonna repeat myself here, but today An hour ago the CEO of aura Finland calmly based in Finland Released or announced the new orings three of them Okay, and this is one of them. I'm told this is the balance design so I'm gonna get some photos and Publish everything very soon Three designs I got balance heritage and balance diamond balance diamond literally has diamonds in it. All right. It's very expensive The price tag is like a thousand dollars. Okay? There's no functionality differences between them it's just design Okay, so knowing that let's take a look here Original new one see the size difference. It's insane. It's bloody insane. It's ridiculous even the band For those of you at home who have an ordering and want to compare it the band on the original Orering is thicker than the band on the new one like that's how small it is It's it's very tiny. So for those of you who have always been put off by the big size the big bulky size Which is fair enough and it took me a while to adjust adjust to it this new one It's it's no different to a wean band like seriously. It's so thin. So that's the first big thing. All right I'm just checking the notes coming in fire through any questions if you have any, all right What else this is quite heavy the original oring quite heavy this new one it it's so light like it's ridiculously light I thought this was plastic when the guy gave it to me He was like here we go. I said, oh, is this a demo one and he said no, it's a real one It's made of titanium titanium. There's a tongue twister for you. I've never actually used a Titanium ring before So I didn't realize how light that like it is so light You think you'd break it. It's that light, right? Which is again amazing because this is quite bulky and heavy But it's titanium so it's super super strong. I don't know what the deal is with like scratch ability and everything like that because I haven't used it yet Like I've only got this about two minutes ago, but Knowing that I've had this one for two years and I thrash it in the gym And there's not one scratch on it. I'm gonna assume the new one's just as good. However, old one is ceramic new one is Titanium like I said, sorry, there's questions coming through. I'm trying to get them all here All right any terms of performance? Odd one new one. Yeah, huge huge difference in performance. I'm gonna go through that soon firstly. I want to look at the design, right? So One of the reasons why it's so thin is the battery is in the whole band now So they've developed curved batteries which enable them to put the battery in the whole ring This one the batteries at the top, which is why it's so bulky. Okay, so you've got the whole battery around The band and then the chips built in as well, which is why it's so small. I mean, it's it's tiny, right? It's insane. It's incredible Battery life is a week. That's saying you'll get a full week out of this now battery life on this one was two to three days I personally charge it every day. So we're up to a week now, which is nuts. I mean, yeah, look how small it is What else do we need to know on the design front? Three designs like I said the balance one. It's kind of hard to see here, but you can see that slight little race Let me see if I can do this Let's get it So this is so like unprofessional. I'm sorry guys, but See that little raise there I'm trying to do that because his light coming down. There's a little lip on the top. All right So that's the balance one the heritage one has a flatter top a flatter base I don't have that with me. Unfortunately, maybe I'll try get that for another video a proper video where I don't rush Or less on the last minute. Um, so that's balance the balance Diamond has a ridge of diamonds or has a line of diamonds on that ridge. Okay? Three or four colors. What were the colors we had? Rose. Yeah, a rose color a black a silver and Stealth so for those of you who had the original stealth. It's the same sort of pattern. Um, yeah silver Rose rose. Yep. Yep. I'm just checking all this Questions any chance of shipping before April 2018 they seed quarter to um, I'm gonna pick the brains later But thus swamped at the stand like it's ridiculous over this I don't know if I'm gonna get many answers for the next hour to at least Performance. All right, so performance differences huge differences. All right, let's go through them And again, I put put a link to an article which I'll publish based on the stat Are the data I know or the differences I know so far. So the first difference size and shape less than half Battery improved battery life wireless charging. All right, this has wireless charging in it This one requires a dock. You sit it in the dock. The dock's quite bulky. You know, I'm traveling with it It's you know, it's another thing you got to take right? Um, this one wireless charging I don't know how that's going to work. I've never used wireless charging devices before But I'm told you literally just sit it on this little pad and it will charge. Okay, really cool Um, I don't know how big that little pad is but I'm assuming, you know, it's going to be better than a dock All right, so that's good. What else have we got in here? Senses, I'm not too sure what sensors are improved except for the body temperature I know that the body temperature is extremely accurate now They're tracking down to 0.05 centigrade precision precision. All right, so extremely accurate Body temperature. I don't know about the other sensors. Um It's been two three years since the other one was made. So I'm assuming they are improvements CPU processing power Has been boosted by tenfold. All right, so 10 times faster and again, um, I know It's not a computer in this in the sense where you're like writing emails on this or playing games But you know more processing power a bit of battery life Processing more data. Um using all the sensors, right? So all these things are good. Uh, what else have we got in here? Yeah, so that's all I know at the moment in regards to performance uh sensor battery life um Processing power. Okay. What else we got? Uh, any other questions coming in? so Yeah, I'm gonna get to that very soon, but my first impression is It's so light. It's so thin. It's so small I'm so used to this bulky ring and now we've got this tiny little band It looks like a witty man. It looks really nice. Like it looks really really nice You know, uh, I don't want to put on my finger in case I can kind of get it off and it'll be all right I mean you you You know with this ring here, you know people always look at it. It's quite bulky, right? This one just looks like a a witty man So I think a lot of people are going to like that, you know, especially females who who didn't want the the bulky rings I think that's going to be a big attraction for a lot of people And again, I've only got the silver uh balance. I haven't had to look at the other ones. Um What else can I say before I get into that any other questions about the design about the actual device itself? Before I look at the app Just type them in the box. Uh, I think instead of an engagement ring So when you say that Phil because we're getting married, uh, we're I'm getting married next year and um I that was what I thought Rebecca's been asking me. Oh, so I need a witty man. I'm like, that's all do I mean it looks nice and Jordan lamp, uh, is it different? Yeah, I mean, I've I've just explained all that. Um, you're so And I've also posted uh a note Uh a link in the comment section So there's always questions coming through in the comment section where I explain all the differences But yeah, I mean look how different it is from a physical point of view. Um, it's way different and improve battery Prove post process and everything. Uh, see all three models. Yeah, I want to do that But the the booth here was just like it was packed. Okay, so I couldn't you know I just got this and I ran with it because uh, I wanted to get something up But the balance and there's two real designs. All right balance and the heritage they're both Very very similar. Okay. Like very similar if you look at the images All that's different is the top this one from a distance. You probably wouldn't see the little peak on the top Uh, like it's so hard to see the peaks just there, but um Up close, you can notice it the diamond one is obviously going to be quite apparent because there's a line of diamonds going through and then the Um, the heritage is flat around there. Okay. What else we got? Uh, but y'all, uh, I'll try and get um all three I don't know a photo or a video increase in the mf. I have no idea. They they said bluetooth smart Where I know the other one was I know that the other bluetooth was really strong Like you could sync it on the other side of your room and I was always like, why is it so smart? So powerful. You don't need it that powerful So I'm hoping they take they've taken that feedback on on board and decreased it But um, you can it's still got the airplane mode. All right, so you can turn turn it on to airplane mode I'm sorry. These guys are looking at me again. Um, you can turn on the airplane mode and turn off emf and all that Okay, uh price on the normal one. Yep. Okay. So the prices I got were this is what I got from them So I gotta pull it up because This is also new like this is just just happened. Uh, all right price price price price Where is it? Where is it? I've got all the data here. All right The balance silver the balance black the heritage silver and the heritage back black at the base models They'll be $2.99 us when they ship. Okay The balance rose and the heritage rose and the stealth so the more premium colors $3.99 Balanced diamond $1,999. Okay. Um, there's a pre-order special. I have been given a code because obviously, um I'm obsessed with these things and and I do a lot of writing with oring and I am affiliated with them Um, so I've been given a code. I give you a cup out on that You don't have to use that code, but if you do you save a hundred bucks off it It's simply my last name Fergus if you are g us Um, but I'm I'm hearing because again, this is all just happened. I'm hearing that current ring owners Um have been sent an email or something saying that they can use a code and they it's a pretty good discount as well I don't know all the details. So if you are a ring owner, uh, maybe before you use my code Just check your emails in case there's a better offer out there. Um, or you know where you can upgrade or something and um Yeah, look around shop around but yeah my code Fergus if you are g us save a hundred dollars So the base model is $199 The the premium model is $299 and the diamond model is $899 like, you know, it's a big ticket one. Um That is until the end of the year. So you got one month and then What are they? I got two codes and if people use them I get one free. Well, there we go You should uh, you should get on your own facebook live Jordan and and start sharing them seriously. Um, that's a pretty good deal 50% off. So I'm assuming you already have one Jordan 50 yeah, that's a really good deal So, yeah, I mean again, if you've got a ring check your emails because I'm hearing this from a few people now saying they got offered Um, really good rates because they were existing customer And I think that's really good from from a risk point of view, you know, you're rewarding You know, you're looking after your customers. All right, so um unfortunately for for new customers, you're probably not going to get there the same big deal, um, but Yeah, shop around look around. There's all sorts of specials going on given the launch. I know they've got a special here. It's slash 17 but that's 30% off the base model. I think mine works out to be about 33% off. So there we go. Um No worries, no worries. Yeah, Phil and Jordan reach out to each other. Uh, all right So the app any other questions before I get into that? I really need some water If you've got any questions before I get into that, please fire them through Otherwise, we're gonna play and this is my first look. Okay. Like I've got it sitting here. I haven't even clicked any buttons Uh, all right. I'm going into that. There's no questions coming through. Let's do it. So this is the app Hold up. I'm gonna change my camera. So, um, I can play with the app at the same time. Let me see if I can do this Let's just put some uh interchange music on And this is coming live from, um Finland's Helsinki at the slush conference where I'm currently jet lag and running off caffeine and I don't know what else trivia All right. All right guys Let me leave you there. Okay. Can everyone see the the app? Can you still hear me? Okay. I'm just gonna go. All right. So this is the app This is one of the the staff's phones Uh, so it's got his data on it. It is only the beta testing one. I it's not final I don't know when this app's going live I think it's going to come out before they release the new ring, which is here here for the newcomers Um So anyway, this is the main screen. So the obvious difference is the white background. All right. So the the original app is um black background So that that's interesting. Uh, what do we got down here? We've got an ad note function So I'll play around with that. We've got the the same overviews at the top here I'm just going to get a pen so my fingers not going through the box Hi, Steven If you have any questions fly them through All right, here we go pencil Is that camera angle all right? Okay, so what do we got here? We still got the um Overview button uh overview screens at the top. I wish I could do a side-by-side with my app, but I'm using my camera Um, sleep readiness activity. Uh, there's there's also a graph in the background there So that's that's kind of cool, but it's hard to see and again, this isn't the final This isn't the final version yet. So who knows um, what's going to change before it comes out All right, so it's got the activity data in here, which the original one has Sleep score, which is the original one here. So it's it's a similar sort of setup. Um Readiness so all that looks pretty similar. Uh, but again the interface has changed I'm assuming I'm allowed playing around with this. I didn't I just asked him if I could film it and he said Yeah, but maybe I should have checked with the hr or marketing team. So, uh, anyway, I might get in trouble for this But we'll see so let's click on sleep All right, so we've got it's totally different graphs and again This was the first time me that I've seen this. So you got a really good sleep the other night. Not nearly 10 hours Well, um, I'm trying to scroll but it doesn't scroll, which the other one does so that's interesting Instead it goes to a different screen. All right, so we've got overview on details. Let's tell an overview if you know So we've got the same sleep contributors That's all pretty Pretty standard stuff so you can click it. So it's all very similar. Um, and then details Sleep phases resting heart rate bedtime start and sleep score That's different. That's a pretty neat graph. So That's sleep score based on bedtime start Oh, that's really cool. So you can see for this gentleman his sleep scores and his sleep scores are all really good, but When you went to bed 11 o'clock, you didn't get a very good score So I'm guessing as you get more and more data in here This is going to show some really cool stuff Like if you start seeing your sweet spots always around 9 30 for instance, you know, like stuff like that really really cool Um, whatever. How do I change day? Oh Okay, I am all right again. Sorry. This isn't very professional. It's just me playing around with this for the first time So I'm scrolling dates and you can see where it's changing Change all the data if you got questions or if you want me to go back to a screen Just let me know because I'm just a planner to be honest Because this is my first look at it initial thoughts It is kind of hard to differentiate between the color Codes here like I know on the other one. It was like purple gray and Another color pink. Whereas this one. It's kind of all the similar shades. Like it is a little bit It was a little bit difficult To see and again, this is what I mean. They're all very similar similar And again, this is still the better version. So I don't know what Will happen. He doesn't get much deep sleep, does he? So this is your overall graph up here Well, I feel like the legit leg just hit me because I just got really tired really fast. Um Let me know if you got questions guys because I'm just sort of playing around here Uh, so that that was late. Let's go on to readiness So we've got readiness score at the top here hrv body temperature respiration rate So that was all that's all on the other app Oh, actually, I don't think the respiration rate rates on the other app You have to go on the cloud to get that. Uh, and then we've got all the stuff down here So you're getting feedback here as well, which is good. Like rather than just a number you're getting Uh words and I know that seems silly, but sometimes you get a number and you're like, well, what does that mean? So optimal optimal, you know pay attention. That's good. It's good. I like that Uh rest so we've got the Go we we've got the I'm just gonna disable that. Oh shit. I haven't used this version Okay, there we go. Do not disturb someone. Um, so now we've got hrv night time Which is really cool rest in heart rate restful periods. All right, so I mean pretty similar No, nothing too It's more of an interface change by the looks of it A few little new features in there, um, which I'm sure that's still working on But the interface has changed a lot. So activity Oh go away Uh Again, I like these I like this pay attention Thanks, you know, I think that's that's really powerful I'm losing my voice activity intensity Over time Yeah, uh, so it's just it's gonna take a while to get used to the new apps Uh, the new graphs and the new colors and everything. I'm sure like someone who gets this ring for the first time You know, it'll be perfect. It makes perfect. Go away. It makes perfect sense Okay, uh, what else do we have? So, yeah, we've got this add note function, which I don't know what it is Um, what have you been up to? Oh, so they mentioned something about tagging and notes. So this must be it So I'm hoping if you can tag things You know, you go to bed and you tag today I had alcohol and I was traveling which is what I did last night And then over time I'm hoping that there will be a correlation function where it will show, you know Every time you have alcohol your deep sleep is down 70 percent or something like that I'm hoping that's what they're doing. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping. I've been waiting for a feature like that for two years Literally, if you read my first review on my website, alexfurgus.com Um, you'll see me mentioning that over and over again. So I'm hoping with that tag function. They'll do it I'm hoping to get an I'm hoping there's so much hope going on I'm hoping to get an interview with the guy's one of the developers or something this weekend. Um Where I can ask all these questions And again that blog article that I've posted in the comment section at alexfurgus.com the new oring Everything you need to know about the new oring. I'm going to be updating that when I get more information. Okay So I I recommend you go there and subscribe to the email list and every time I get like a big You know a piece of information. I'm going to let you guys know So if you're sort of on the fence or you aren't sure whether to get it Or you just want to get all the latest news. Make sure you sign up over there Um, any questions in the third? So what else we got up here? We've got the top settings All right, so that's all kind of just your standard stuff So, all right, that's yeah, I mean What's down here? Okay, I don't know what this is. I don't know what all those colors mean Maybe that means when you got a high score perhaps or a low score Yeah, that's what it must be. So see here. It's got a tick Let's see if that changes. So yeah, it must be what above 90 90 Not 88 It's the lowest one 95 So it must be like above 85 or something. You must get a tick and then down here You can see all the times he got really good scores. So that's good Like maybe you'll start seeing Monday there on let's say a Tuesday to Tuesday and Wednesday, you're always getting good like sleep scores or something and you might be like, all right, well Monday, you know Whatever's happening Monday to Wednesday. I need to do more of to get a bit of sleep. So again, um, I like these new features it The thing with the ordering it's amazing at reporting like it gets so much data It's accurate data is reliable and you get so much from it, right? The downside with it was interpreting that data now in two years It has come so far because the first app which I had a long time ago was you know, it's kind of like Oh, there's all this data, but you can't really tap into it. The grass got better the um The what else coming like the grass grass got better the interpretations the recommendations you got were better and better more in depth more detailed The cloud dash that went up that was amazing as well, you know, like more and more data But you still needed to sit down and really like process it yourself to figure out what was going on So I'm hoping with this new app. There's going to be more like correlations and and stuff and by the looks of it There is like even this here. It's going to make it easier again. Let's assume Yeah, this color the purple is the the sleek so we can be like, all right, you will start noticing patterns You know, he had a really good block here So you could I have no idea what he was doing in that time But maybe you know, he was at home and had the week off and you're like, all right Well, I needed there's a correlation between working hard and bad sleep. I mean you look at this week I know he was traveling right at the moment. So his activity has been really high But his readiness and his sleep have really dropped off I know he traveled he left around the same time I did like it was like the Monday or the Tuesday So, um, yeah, and that's exactly the same as my data Activities high because you walk in airports and all that fun stuff Sleep and readiness is just blowing out of the water. So again, it's really nice having this overview I'm starting to like this screen more and more Now that I play around with it and think about it and then what have we got down here Oh, trans. Wow. Oh, all right This is cool. And again, remember for those of you who've just joined on, uh, this is one of the oring developers phones It's a better testing Version, uh, it's not the final one And I'm playing around with it with the very first time. So I I'm just Think it up might as well record it. So anyway, so I've gone from the main menu down into the trends here What have we got sleep readiness? Oh man, this is cool I was thinking like I felt like there wasn't that much change, but this is this is a huge feature. All right, so let's go deep sleep Actually, no, that was a bad one because he doesn't give me a sleep sleep. Let's go sleep school Okay, so this is similar to the web dash for those of you who are oring user By the way, if you've just joined on Come on. Here's the original Here's the new one See the size difference crazy, huh? I'll just leave that there Um, all right. So yeah sleep score Daily will change that to like weekly monthly All right, well, that's cool It's cool. Good being able to get that overview Graph looks a little compressed, but maybe I need to rotate around Um, if the ring I'm just reading the questions coming through HR signal so we can connect it to a watch. All right. I am told and don't quote me on this I might be wrong, but I am told that It's sorry for the late comments here. I'll just put the new one back on I'm told that there is a way to get real-time data from it. All right I'm told and again, this is also new like an hour and a half now Um, but I'm told there's a daytime tracking feature where you can go in and You can track your heart rate and do all that so like if you're meditating or doing yoga or something You can pull it all up and be like, all right. Well, what's happening? You know, like what's my heart rate doing and hopefully you can see things like temperature and and um I don't know respiration rate and all that other stuff and I'm going to do a bit of a shameless plug here For those of you who want to pre-order it use code Fergus my last name and you save 100 bucks Okay, but if you are a current ring user, you might not want to use that because apparently you've been sent an email With either with a really good discount. All right, and I need to check my emails, but If you're a new you ordering user this code lasts until the end of the month and you get 100 bucks off and this is the uh balance the base model So nice, huh? It's so light. I can't believe how light it is I should have done this shot at the start. I'll go back to that. So So they got uh batteries in the band now, which is curved batteries, which is why it's so thin um Balance model has a slight little peak at the top there The heritage as a flatter top the balance diamond has a line of diamonds All right, let's go back to that If there's any questions like you know, so yeah, this is the trans which is really cool. So we've got trans for all of that Yeah, this is this is a cool function. Evie. I I hope you can overlay data. I hope you with the app comes out You can say all right. I want to log Body temperature and deep sleep and then have both data points on the graph. That would be really cool And then activity as well. All right. I'm pretty exhausted My arm lose my voice. Uh, hopefully that was the showed you a bit of insight into the new app and the new ring Be sure to head over to alexvoose.com and check out the blog because that's got all the facts over there And sign up because that's where I'll be posting, you know These videos more videos when I get them. Um, hoping to get an interview on with the team and um And Okay, so anyone just signs up. No, uh, I hope that I will get I don't know what I'm saying. I'm so tired. Um Yeah Someone tell me what I say. Oh sign up to the blog sign up on my email list and um I'll send out updates whenever I get them Like I really want to try and get an interview with the guys and pick their brain I've got a list of questions. Is there something you want me to ask them? Send them through to me put them in the comment box below and um, I'll make sure I I asked them that if I can get the interview with them. I'm sure I will be able to do Um, so yeah, any questions about the ring about the app? Um, you know Whatever shipping second quarter 2018 pre-orders open now like literally right now. Um, and you can Use code fergus if you are g us save a hundred bucks and That lasts until the end of the month and then they stop It is a really nice ring. It is so light. I can't believe how light it is. Like you can just hear it The other way to that versus that one It's insane Wait, I for those of you who weren't here at the start I thought it was plastic at first and then they said not titanium. I've never actually used a titanium ring before um But that's so light it's incredible and it's meant to be really strong as well It will be interesting to see if it scratches because yeah, this one I've had for two years has no scratches on it So it will be interesting to see. I don't know if this user um uses The gem much. I know it does a lot of running, but it looks pretty good condition All right, guys, I'm gonna get some food and water and just sort of switch off for a little bit Um, before I go if there's any questions, let me know. Otherwise just post a comment later I think this will only get saved to facebook, so Oh, I'm tired So it's alex fergus from alexfergus.com talking to you with uh Here live at slush and Helsinki Finland and coming to you Two hours on listen that now um after the New aura got announced And there's still a few people listening if there's any other questions. Let me know really quick. Otherwise, I'm going I'm gonna go okay I'm going bye Thanks all for stopping in How do I end this um
