Can someone explain why people prefer implants over rings? Functionality wise it's same: read on RFID tag, maybe with some light computation. People wear rings

People wear rings all the time, application is painless, easy to change once compromised or if there is a new model, and provides same features. Chips would have advantage if they would provide better IO, but currently they don't.
- smhg 9y agoI guess if you want 100% 'coverage' an implant wins. A ring could still be forgotten. But I agree the disadvantages of the implant make the ring sound better.
- lrvick 9y agoI have had NFC rings and I have gone through a few of them because they break or fall apart, particularly when I would need them most. Thankfully I have 2 NFC implants so it has been no big.

- nextlevelwizard 9y agoNot liking how they look. Not wanting something extra to remember to put on in the morning. If you're not used to wearing one, it might be uncomfortable. For example I love the functionality my smart watch gives me, like not having to dig for my phone from my pocket every time something happens, for timers, and most obviously for time keeping, but I hate how it feels and looks and I've had terrible experience with cheaper straps/bands breaking after few months of use. It's just because I'm not a watch person, but until we can somehow embed screens in our skin, have something like Google glass embedded into our eyes, or have the data somehow streamed to our brains I'm stuck with wearing one.
