Forget a diamond ring, the latest symbol of commitment now comes in the form of wearable tech.
The RAW ring, created by the dating app RAW and Queens Tech, allows couples to track each other’s emotions, both good and bad. Coming as a pair—one for you, one for your partner—the rings track the wearer’s heartbeat, use bio-sensors to track their vitals, and detect voice and emotional cues for changes. Think, a digital mood ring, but for someone else’s emotions.
“Keep you and your partner’s hearts beating as one. Feel their emotions, share your vibe, and stay connected in ways that go beyond words,” reads a statement on the RAW website. “Marriage evolves, and so does loyalty. Sacred vows go digital. RAW’s mission? Making true love trackable.” The ring’s makers claim that the device can identify emotional states such as stress, anxiety and arousal. “When something’s up, you’ll know. Simple as that,” adds Marina Anderson, RAW cofounder.
Tracking your partner’s emotions comes with some obvious pitfalls. While the company claims that the ring “understands context”—such as telling the difference between a spike in heart rate from exercise versus emotional arousal—things could still get awkward. If your synced ring suddenly flashes purple-red (a signal for arousal) in the middle of the workday, that’s probably not a conversation you’ll be excited to have when you both get home.
While for some couples, sharing their location is quickly becoming a modern relationship milestone, is it really healthy to know every tiny fluctuation of your partner’s emotions throughout the day?
As technology becomes increasingly woven into our daily lives, the line between convenience and control is growing increasingly blurred. Granting your partner access to your intimate emotions is a recipe for disaster if jealousy is a pre-existing issue in the relationship. In extreme cases, abusers have also been known to use tracking technology to stalk and surveil their partners.
For those who are eager to test out the Raw ring, the device has yet to hit the market but is likely to be made available to purchase in late 2025 or early 2026. Details on the price have yet to be announced.
