MOTIV Ring Website Gone
It looks like Motiv Ring has closed up shop with its website well and truly offline.
MOTIV was acquired by Proxy just under a year ago but now there is no mention of the product on the Proxy site other than historic blog posts.
It was quite a nice product which perhaps could have been very slightly better made. That said it had some interesting specs and aimed to set itself apart from other ring products by also majoring on user authentication.
I’m not surprised it’s gone as the interest in it was very significantly lower than in other ring products.
Don’t get me wrong, the market for high-tech ring wearables is a multi-ten million dollar market with some serious money to be made. Apple, Garmin or one of the more focussed Chinese brands could nail this market. Amazon has a product too.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.

Not being able to select text on your website is stupidly annoying.
I’ve just noticed this too. Maybe he had issues with plagiarism?
Sorry! I’m trying it out for a bit. It makes it harder for other websites to copy my content (which they often do). If enough supporters complain then I’ll change it. Actually if I can get a webdev then I could turn it off just for supporters as well as improve the ad situation. I still have site CDN/speed issues to deal with and no time to do it.
It’s your website and I understand where you are coming from but that won’t stop jerks from stealing content. If anything it simply makes a regular reader have a bad experience. I’m not a subscriber but I removed it via custom css.
