RingConn Smart Ring

The market has been flooded with smart watches for years now but there’s a new kid on the block in the shape of a smart ring. The RingConn is an award-winning smart ring that comes in three designs Moonlit Silver, Midnight Black and Pale Gold.

This subscription free smart device is made from a lightweight but durable titanium, weighing just 3-5 grams, it is slightly larger than a standard ring, especially on slimmer hands and the plain finish might not be dainty enough for some. It comes with an IP68 rating which means its waterproof up to 50 meters, so it doesn’t have to come off for swimming, showers, hand washing or sweating. It comes with a portable charging case for battery top ups, RingConn claims it will last about 7 days without charging however we were getting about 4-5days but it’s not too much of a problem and the charging case will last about 150days before it needs plugging in. The RingConn tracks your sleep by capturing indicators such as heart rate, SpO2, HRV, skin temperature, respiratory rate, duration, sleep stages, movement, sleep efficiency and sleep stability. This data is then broken down into a sleep score and offers personalised changes to help improve your sleep. When you wear the ring, it will track your activity by recording your steps, calories burnt, activity intensity and standing duration, and will come up with your unique activity score. It will also monitor your stress levels, heart rate every 2.5 minutes and blood oxygen (SpO2) every 5 minutes, 24/7, all the data can then be viewed on the free app. RingConn guarantees your data is protected by promising never to sell your information on and the threat detection system blocks any suspicious activity related to your account, providing an additional layer of security.

The ring is comfortable to wear, the team will send out a sizing kit to make sure you get the right fit and its tough enough to withstand everyday life. Like all health tracking devices, you cannot be sure on the accuracy of the data, but it seems to collect similar data as a smart watch. The lights inside are noticeable in dark rooms and as I am someone who sleeps with my hands up by my face it can be distracting at night. It is also not obvious when the battery dies other than looking for the lights on the inside or checking in the app. The app is easy to use but rather basic in helping you improve your health; this could actually appeal to some who simply want to observe the data without being overwhelmed with nagging suggestions. The RingConn has some way to go to catch up with the big boys of health tracking, however it is subscription free, hard-wearing and gives you a good insight into a range of health markers.RRP $279
