It saddens me that so many new entrants are pushing blind signing (without a screen). It feels like a major regression in security model. I would have hoped that the industry had learned from Ledger's first Nano device a decade ago (screen-less), but it seems like new entrants are repeating the mistakes of the past.
Judging from their tagline of trust-based choice (they also claim the random-based private key generation would make the wallet safe), I wouldn't be surprised. They claim to offer many new things for crypto with flexibility and fashion as one of its focus. I don't think that's even necessary for a HW. I guess they don't intend to target security-aware people in the first place? If that's the case, we can only wait for the news when one of these wallets gets hacked or people lose money from dumb stuff.

Just when I though I saw all the weird hardware wallets, few days ago Tangem released news about their upcoming Ranger Ring hardware wallet.
First I thought it was some kind of joke, but than I received confirmation from several source, and I see some preview images.
First thing on my mind was about sizing, because you can't have universal one-size-fits-all, fir different fingers.
Second thing I was wondering, why would you ever want to wear hardware wallet like a ring all the time...
We know that Tangem Ring will be released on November 3, at Cardano Shitcoin Summit this year, in Dubai, but there is no information about it on Tangem official website.
Anyway here are some preview images and Decrypt article with more information about this ''device'':
