"Smart rings are rising in popularity, but the big names -- the Ouras, Samsungs, and Ultrahumans -- can run $300 to $400. That's not counting the subscription fee, which some customers pay for full access to all the data that the smart ring aggregates. With all these murmurs of an impending recession causing pennies to be pinched and wallets to be watched, who has the money for a $400 smart ring right now?"
"I hadn't yet tested a high-quality and affordable smart ring from a notable brand, but the newest smart ring from RingConn, the , could change that. It's the first ring I've tested that retails for a price as low as $160, without any sale or special deal. I've worn RingConn's smart ring for weeks to see how the brand's budget ring fares as a sleep and activity tracker."
"The Gen 2 Air, on the other hand, does not come with a charging case equipped with extra juice, and it advertises a 10-day battery life (though, in my testing, I got around eight days). Even though the Gen 2 Air's battery is lower than the Gen 2, both RingConn rings match or outcompete the battery life of the Oura Ring, the Ultrahuman Ring Air, and the Samsung Galaxy Ring."
Smart rings command growing interest while flagship models from Oura, Samsung and Ultrahuman cost $300–$400 plus subscription fees, squeezing budget-minded buyers. RingConn's newest Gen 2 Air retails for $160, establishing a lower-cost option from a notable brand. The Gen 2 Air closely resembles the RingConn Gen 2 but lacks the high-capacity charging case; the Gen 2 advertises up to 12 days on the ring and a case that can boost it for over 150 days, while the Gen 2 Air advertises 10 days and delivered about eight days in testing. Both RingConn rings match or outcompete Oura, Ultrahuman Ring Air and Samsung Galaxy Ring battery life. The Gen 2 Air uses stainless steel, is comfortable, and is offered in silver and gold in sizes six to 14.
