Kudos on an excellent and lean informative and no-nonsense review. They seem to have done a great job for not much time out of the retail starting gate.
Very best wishes for tomorrow! The great thing about smart rings is they collect all the data and you never see it until you go looking for it. Hope you enjoy every second of it.
If anyone is in Ireland and wants one I can contact them directly. They shipped here without any difficulty and I did not have to pay any additional duties. It is frustrating to see how many countries don't ship to Ireland, including European ones. Salomon being the most notable
As far as I know none of the smart rings are able to do blood pressure or glucose measuring. Apple are close with non invasive glucose monitoring and perhaps they will release a ring when they crack it. It will be on the watch. I don’t know the lifespan of the battery. My guess is that new models with additional sensors will arrive before the battery dies. Time will tell.
Vis a vis the lifespan of the battery, I emailed them the same question two days ago and received this answer the next day..."We conducted extensive rounds of battery charge-discharge tests to determine the durability of the ring's battery. One round of charge-discharge tests simulates 7 days, which is how long the ring can last with a single charging. After 500 rounds of charge-discharge tests, the battery life remained consistent."
I ran the New York Marathon wearing it, the Ultrahuman Ring Air, Garmin FR955, Apple Watch Ultra and two Stryd Footpods. Will compare the data in a later video
@@ARVIthereyet Pretty well. All my devices give different counts. The RingConn was very close to the Garmin. 61783 v the Garmin at 63567 for the entire day.
I don't think so. NFC is reportedly coming to the Oura ring in the next iteration and I expect the same will be true for all of the smart ring updates in the next few years. It would be great to have.
I see the potential of these devices, but price point has to come down before there can be mainstream adoption. I am happy with the metrics I get from my Garmin 955 Solar watch. I am totally expecting at some point Garmin offering a similar device for people who don't want to wear watches while sleeping.
I think the price of the rings is coming down. Paying a subscription seems mad. I think the RingConn is one of the cheapest… certainly during the BFCM promotions.
