The company has entered the wearables market through its subsidiary, Acer Gadget, and will showcase two new devices at Computex 2025 in Taiwan. The smart ring and the wireless earbuds use artificial intelligence to offer helpful features.
Acer FreeSense Ring
Featuring a lightweight titanium alloy design, the new Acer FreeSense Ring contains a host of biometric sensors to track your sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and heart rate variability. Using AI, it analyses your health and fitness data and provides you with personalised wellness advice.
The smart ring stands out from the competition because none of its health and fitness tracking features are paywalled, and Acer won’t charge users an additional subscription for AI-powered insights. Later this year, the smart ring will be available in matte rose gold and glossy black variants, both IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.
Acer AI TransBuds
Acer AI TransBuds are lightweight wireless earbuds designed to simplify “multilingual conversation.” When connected to a smartphone via a plug-in receiver, the earbuds provide “real-time, two-way voice translation powered by AI-based speech recognition and semantic analysis.”
The TransBuds also support live captioning and transcription, so users can follow conversations in real-time and save transcripts. Currently, the translation feature supports 15 languages spoken in Asia, the Americas, and Europe. The earbuds have 50mAh batteries, a charging case with a 400mAh battery, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
There is no word on the price or availability of Acer’s new AI-powered wearables, and it is unclear if they will be available in the U.S. yet. The company will share more information closer to the launch.
