Dear Santa (and Silicon Valley): Utahns Want a Smart Ring That Actually Makes Sense

The Dream: A Ring That Does What We Actually Need

We’re talking:
- A tiny flashlight for late-night walks past moose-shaped shadows in St George
- A simple timer/alarm for baking twice-baked potatoes or timing talks
- A basic calendar to remind us when the chili cook-off collides with the Jazz game

No Bluetooth. No notifications. No “syncing with cloud.” Just tools. At our fingertips. Literally.

Why Utahns Would Rock This

Utah is the land of preparedness. We love gear that’s useful, compact, and slightly over-engineered. A smart ring with real utility? That’s the kind of stocking stuffer that makes us say, “this is genius.”

Plus, we’re a state of multitaskers. We hike with toddlers, text while canning peaches, and somehow manage to shovel snow while holding a Dutch oven. A ring that helps us do more without doing too much? That’s peak Utah efficiency.

Earbuds Can Translate Mandarin. Why Can’t a Ring Set a Timer?

We’ve got earbuds that track heartbeats and glasses that livestream your pickleball match. Surely someone can squeeze a flashlight and a calendar into a titanium band. If we can squeeze a dam into Glen Canyon, we can fit a few basic tools into jewelry.

Bonus Ideas for the Bold Manufacturer

- A “find my keys” pulse feature
- A discreet “get me out of this meeting” buzz
- A “thought of the day” scroll mode for inspirational snack breaks

So, Dear Tech Elves…

This isn’t just a wish. It’s a challenge. Utahns are ready for wearable tech that’s actually wearable — and useful. Give us a ring that works like a Swiss Army knife, not a social media leash.
