RingConn Gen 2, World’s First Smart Ring with Sleep Apnea Monitoring, No APP Subscription, 12-Day Battery Life, Stress/Heart Rate/Women's Health Tracker, Android & iOS Compatible (Black, Size 10)ClimatePartner certified

I researched health tracker rings before opting for the Ringconn, and I am pleased with my purchase. The tracker app is free and the ring has a very handy travel/charging case. The initial price was very competitive. I had a problem getting the sizer pack, but they seem to be back in stock now. It is imperative to trial the sizes before you buy the actual ring. I have been wearing the ring for a week now and the readings look accurate. I like that the app is not constantly telling me that I am not active enough, but reports in a very supportive/helpful way. I had a tracker watch before, and this ring is much better and more accurate, and I love that I can wear it whilst swimming and record that I am actually being active!

I have been using my Ringconn for a few weeks now and feel I can add objectivity. I chose Ringconn due to its lack of subscription and because I have watched and read many positive reviews, and I am delighted with my purchase.First, the great bits: the battery life really is 11 days, and it recharges quickly. I don't take the ring off unless I'm charging it. The charging case is convenient and protects the ring in the process. Sleep recording is more accurate than my watch. My watch generally overrecords my sleep, especially if I read before falling asleep; my ring seems more accurate. When I wake up feeling more refreshed, my sleep score reflects this. As a Sleep Apnea sufferer, I am delighted that I can keep an independent eye on my treatment. When staying away recently, I had to sleep without my CPAP machine for one night, and the ring data reflected this appropriately.The step counter seems to be accurate. Of course, I don't count my steps, but the step counter aligns well with my daily activities. I have also noted that the stress monitoring aligns with my daily ups and downs. I suffered a bout of food poisoning during the second week of wearing the ring and noted several changes to the data to reflect the illness. The software also asked me to explain the abnormality in the data.Overall, I am extremely impressed with the accuracy of the data.I only have one negative: that there isn't a size to fit my index finger. Maybe I have extremely big fingers, although I don't believe that to be the case. I have had to put the ring on my middle finger, which interferes with my wedding ring. I'm used to this now and haven't noticed any damage to the Ringconn or my wedding ring, but it isn't ideal.I thoroughly recommend the Ringconn, I just wish they made a larger size.

As an update, over the last month the unit has been really good at collecting date, however over the last week I have had to reset the ring 3 times losing all the data after the app failed to find the device and continually reporting it is sat in the charging base.On top of this, despite assurances you can shower with the unit on (I remove it for any water activity), the contacts on both the ring and charging base are rusting, which has now caused rust marks on my finger.Returning this unit for replacement.I have used AppleWatch before and found it really useful, however the battery life is poor and I prefer a standard watch. I had read about RingConn with interest and decided to try the Gen2.The product is very easy to configure with the app and also exporting the date straight into Apple Fitness and Health. The data that the ring provides is very good and very useful, so all told a pleasant and useful purchase with a battery life around 11 days between charges.The downsides then:- RingConn doesn’t conform to standard ring sizes and you need to try templates to assess the correct size. It would make way more sense to conform to a standard as all rings do.- the ring is quite bulky on your finger, which is understandable given the tech packed into it- I was interested in the Sleep Apnea monitoring after reading the details so decided on the standard instead of the Air (which doesn’t support it). However what is not widely advertised is the disclaimer when you look to enable the option, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere else. Based on the below information I have declined this option:“By tapping "I have read and agree," you signify your consent to activate the "Sleep Apnea Monitoring" feature and agree to provide us with the following data: height, weight, age, BMI, sex, [neck circumference], medical history, OSA symptoms, sleep quality etc. For the purpose of generating an OSAHS assessment report”In summary a great little gadget, fairly accurate, a little bulky for everyday use and not enough detail regarding a key feature which would sway you between the Air and standard version of the product (the air doesn’t support sleep apnea monitoring and is cheaper too).

Used this to get an appropriate ring size. A must buy if you are interested in Rubgconn smart rings

I ordered this after first trying the leading competitor ring. Immediately you can see the difference, the quality of the competitor ring feels so much better, and this was born out by the black colour coming off of the RingConn device within 3 days of wearing it, and hence it’s been returned.The one big plus point of the RingConn is the charging case, this does feel very premium and is something the competitor could learn from.Comparing the app, the app from the competition is a lot slicker and pleasing on the eye, it also has a number of integrations such as Strava that the RingConn doesn’t have. But it comes at a price, there’s a monthly subscription unlike with RingConn.The RingConn app is functional and informative but you can easily get a sense of ‘chineseium’ that you don’t get with the leading competitor.If you’re really price conscious, and want to avoid the monthly subscription model, then RingConn may be a solution for you but I would stick to a natural colour rather than black for example.I paid £270 in the Prime Days sale, versus £399 (plus £5/m) of the competitor but it wasn’t enough to make me keep it.If you’re going to buy one, absolutely buy the sizing kit first.
