The Seedkeeper™️Ring

[examplens]

I used and tested the Satohchip wallet, so I gained a certain trust in this brand.

I just received an email introducing their new product, the seedkeeper ring. An interesting solution, I would like to hear what the use value is, rings can certainly be easily lost.
Maybe in the future, they could consider implanting a chip in the tooth, that's really the last place where someone would look for someone's seed, and it's always nearby.

The Seedkeeper ™️Ring: NFC smart ring for secure password & secret management

The Seedkeeper Ring is a revolutionary leap in secure storage: a discreet, elegant NFC smart ring equipped with a military-grade secure element.

No batteries, no cables, no compromises. Just tap your ring with your smartphone and access your secrets through our dedicated app (available on iOS and Android) — anytime, anywhere.

Maybe in the future, they could consider implanting a chip in the tooth, that's really the last place where someone would look for someone's seed, and it's always nearby.

If they go that route you would  basically have to bite the POS terminal to pay with a tooth-implanted crypto chip.  

Personally I find the idea of such  crypto wallets ^{in the ring format} pretty impractical. They're easy to lose and a bit of a hassle to use in everyday situations. In addition  wearing such ring-wallet in public could make you a target. Criminals looking to snatch crypto might consider  you as their next potential victim at  kidnapping  attempts.

I would like to hear what the use value is,

If you had asked this question a month earlier, I would've said it might come in handy for those with frequent cross-border travels, but I've changed my mind after seeing what "CBP has recently started doing in the US".
^{- Another issue with other similar-looking HWs is the fact that based on the quality of your phone and its case, it might not always work, so you'll be forced to remove the ring from your finger or just get rid of the phone case if it's somewhat thick!}

Interesting new product from Satochip, but €60 is a bit expensive for me, for something that is basically a password manager.
I don't see any information about source code and how Ring actually works, but let's wait for Tibu or someone else from Satochip team for more explanation.
They could also give us some special bitcointalk deal for anyone who is interested

Just to be clear, Seedkeeper is not a signing device thus not a hardware wallet.
It's designed to store your seedphrases, Bitcoin wallet descriptors and other credentials safely in a secure element.

Seedkeeper comes with a 100% open-source desktop and mobile app to unleash it's full power:
- generate strong password like a pro
- manage your most valuable credentials (login, passwords, URL...)
- generate and store your BIP39 compatible seedphrases
- import and export your wallet descriptors for an optimal wallet management.

Now in a Ring form factor to always have your secrets with you.

In addition  wearing such ring-wallet in public could make you a target.

I doubt anyone will ever know this ring is a "security" device. It does the opposite: it avoids attention completely. It looks like nothing. No markings, no logos, no color pop. Just a plain, unassuming ring.
That’s exactly the point: obscurity through minimalism, not theatrics.

Impractical, definitely--and I'd say with all of the current products on the market as well as the various ways to store your private keys and such, a crypto ring is an unnecessary addition to the marketplace.

On top of that, with the sizes they have available, I'd have to fit the largest one onto my fifth toe and even then it'd probably cut off circulation and cause gangrene.  Then I'd be forced to wear it as a necklace, and at that point the clock starts ticking; it'd be just a matter of time before the fucking thing winds up down the sink or the side of the road.

On the plus side, I have to say that this would be a neat collectible and would likely be one of those oddball aspects of bitcoin's history, specifically products that were made but never caught on (but that's just my prediction).  I love Satochip's current offerings, but I've got serious doubts about this one.  Everyone here criticizing the form factor are right to do so; anyone who's owned a ring can probably attest to why those criticisms are valid.
