Linking metrics such as sleep and exercise data together to help wearers better understand the relationship between them. Another area where this ring aims to be different is in its styling. Unlike previously released gadgets from other companies, Movano has opted for a ring that doesn’t quite wrap all the way around the wearer’s finger.
