Every groundbreaking innovation begins with a spark, and for Bond Ring, it wasn’t about chasing trends or filling a gap. As Ash Wilder, Founder of Bond Ring, explains, “Bond Ring begins where all other smart wearables end in their ability to understand the human body.” The drive came from an obsession with creating something once thought impossible: a wearable that could “tick” continuously, day and night, without compromise. That obsession lasted nearly half a decade, fueled by the belief that a device designed for wants, not needs could unlock entirely new possibilities in how people connect with themselves.
How Bond Ring Stands Apart
Most health devices rely on batteries, updates, and eventual obsolescence. Bond Ring aims to rewrite that story. “The fact that the Bond Ring requires no charging was the baseline—not just for the ring, but for all our upcoming products,” Wilder says. The ring uses proprietary LifeDrive
modules, which capture energy from motion, body heat, and the environment, making it a perpetual device. Beyond power, its long list of health and wellness tracking features—ranging from heart rate and hydration to sleep stages and UV exposure—sets it apart, all paired with an app designed to make sense of data in a way that other wearables often miss.
Overcoming the Hurdles
Innovation rarely comes without challenges, and Wilder is candid about the biggest one. “Funding. Bootstrapping and time,” he admits. Without outside investment, Bond Ring was developed slowly and deliberately, using only the resources the team could sustain themselves. Yet this independence allowed for complete freedom of vision—no compromises for investors, no cutting corners for speed.
The Most Exciting Part
For Wilder, the journey has been as rewarding as it has been demanding. “We work closely with a network of leading longevity clinics as we refine our app experience and AI-driven analytics,” he says, pointing to the upcoming public debut at CES 2026 as a milestone moment. The excitement lies not just in the product itself, but in seeing how people will respond once they finally experience it.
