Amazon Marketplace Distribution: Motiv Ring is now available for purchase on Amazon, the largest internet retailer in the world. Availability on Amazon allows for Motiv Ring’s distribution to scale massively, and make it even easier for consumers to purchase.

Android Open Beta Launch: Motiv Ring has expanded its operating system support to include Android. The Open Beta program will have a more comprehensive feature set by the end of the first half of 2018. Motiv’s app can now be found on the Google Play Store.

b8ta Store Distribution: Motiv Ring will also extend its reach into the physical world with new distribution in national retailer, b8ta. b8ta allows for people to discover, try and learn about the latest products. With both Motiv Ring sizing sets and product on-site, b8ta customers can get fitted and take home a properly-sized ring in a same-day purchase.
