- Called Smarty Ring, the device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth

The Smarty Ring, pictured, connects to a smartphone using Bluetooth. It is 13mm wide, made of stainless steel and has an LED screen that shows the time, emails and other notifications
When there are no notifications to display, the ring shows the time, pictured. The ring connects to any Android or iOS device through the dedicated Smarty Ring app
When a call is received on the paired smartphone, wearers can choose to answer or reject the call using buttons on the side of the ring, pictured. These buttons also double up as a remote control to play or stop music on the phone and open the smartphone's camera
This graphic shows how the various components fit into the Smarty Ring. The most notable component is the flexible battery, seen as the grid on the far right of the ring. Kumar claims the ring will last for 24 hours 'guaranteed.' This battery is then charged on a wireless charging pad
The ring battery is charged on a wireless charging pad, pictured, that can also be used to charge a smartphone. The ring is expected to retail at $275 (£167) when it goes on sale from April next year and this includes the charging pad
