Samsung released its first fitness-focused smart ring last year, adding to its stable of wearables that’s mostly comprised of smartwatches. The company is now looking to bolster its lineup with new wearables in different form factors, like glasses, earrings, and necklaces, CNN reported.

Won-joon Choi, COO of Samsung’s mobile experience division, told CNN that the company wants to explore form factors that let users communicate and do things without needing their phones.

“We believe it should be wearable, something that you shouldn’t carry, (that) you don’t need to carry. So it could be something that you wear, glasses, earrings, watches, rings, and sometime (a) necklace,” CNN quoted Choi as saying.
