Wearables Box by Lumoid lets you try 5 different wearables or rent Google Glass for $18

More so than smartphones and tablets, wearables must truly walk the line between being fashionable as well as functional. Unless you’re both very patient and doing well for yourself financially, the process of finding that perfect wearable that compliments your personal style and gives you the information you want, can end up being a torturous lesson in frustration.

So Lumoid decided that they’d help you out by sending you a box of five wearables of your choosing and let you play with them for a week. If you like one or more of the devices, you can purchase them after you send the box back (so you’ll have a fresh unit and not one of the trial devices). If you didn’t like any of the five, you pay the relatively small amount of $20 USD. From there, you can try a different five or quit your quest altogether.

There are three categories of wearables you can choose from on the Lumoid website: sleep tracking gadgets, fitness bands, and stay-connected devices. You are not limited to just one category, by the way! You can mix and match until you hit the five you really want to try. You do need to make sure your smartphone is compatible with the wearable you’re wanting to try before finalizing your box.

Of the wearables offered, they are mostly limited to the fitness variety. You will find fitness bands like Samsung’s Gear Fit and the Jawbone Up. You will not find wearables like the Moto 360.

Additionally, Lumoid is offering a wearable for rent outside of the Wearables Box category. On their website, you can pick up a Google Glass unit for $18 USD for a minimum rental of three days. You can check out that offer by clicking here. I’m not sure how long this promotion will last seeing as how Google is planning on shutting down the Explorer service.

Lumoid is no stranger to the field of try-it-before-you-buy-it. They have been doing the same process with cameras and drones for a while now. You can check out the video below, which discusses their camera service.
