Gen 2 Air

Purchased a Gen 2 for myself and an Gen 2 Air for my wife within the past month. Overall, our reviews are quite positive. Our pull factors for Ringconn over other brands are synonymous with others takes on this sub - no recurring fee, surplus of data, contentedness with less bells & whistles via app experience. We're not super picky. Mildly reluctant to admit we are emerging into quite the health nuts in early adulthood - and Ringconn has exceedingly perpetuated that experience lol. The simplicity of the app can be a push factor for some, but it's purposeful for us. As long as you're willing to familiarize yourself with the data, Ringconn will fulfill your needs. I would lean in a different direction if you're looking for an automated, suggestive, hands-free experience - as I've heard Oura curates your personal data more directly (wasn't worth the subscription for us, and I have a health background so researching is enjoyable for me). It's an effective tool for stress monitoring, sleep metrics, and vital sign trending. I would advise you to keep your expectations realistic with the fitness component. Get a smart watch for that. It will suffice for most cardio activities including pickle ball, but I take it off for weight lifting. It's not perfect, nor is any health device, but I've been impressed with the capabilities of this modest ring. 8/10 recommendation!

Hey! I wanted to share a basic review of my RingConn Gen2 (in Dune Gold) Air for anyone still on the fence. **Background:** I’ve been a Fitbit user for 10+ years and a Garmin user for about 5. Since Garmin’s phasing out analog-style trackers (and I like being able to see the time without turning on a screen), I decided to go back to regular watches and try a smart ring instead. Steps and activity were my main focus with Fitbit and Garmin, but now I’m more interested in sleep and general health tracking. This is my *first* smart ring, so I can’t compare it to Oura or Ultrahuman, etc. **My top tracking priorities:** * Sleep * Activity * Menstrual cycle * Steps # Physical feel The RingConn Air is surprisingly light - much lighter than I expected (especially compared to my husband’s ceramic wedding band). It feels like wearing nothing at all most of the day. I only notice it during heavier chores like opening jars or lifting things around the house. # Sleep Tracking Sleep tracking feels accurate for me. It was able to differentiate between time in bed and actual sleep, which is great since I often end the night reading or watching TV. One feature I loved: after a night of heavy drinking, the app flagged “outlier” data in my stress and SpO₂ readings and even prompted possible reasons like “alcohol” or “stressful day.” It's something I wouldn't have cared about before, but I see it being really helpful for general health trends! **Activity Tracking** My usual workouts are weight training and Lagree, neither of which are default exercises in the app. I tried auto-detect once during a Lagree class - it correctly logged activity but I turned it off afterward (heard it drains battery faster). I haven’t worn it for weight training yet since I’m waiting on a ring cover to protect it from scratches! # Menstrual Cycle Tracking I was pretty spoiled because Garmin has been great for tracking my cycle, it was helpful to know when my period was expected, it would also notify me when to expect a period, and suggest lighter activity and better nutrition a few days prior. RingConn matches it, if not exceeds it in detail. Garmin tracks flow, mood, and symptoms, but RingConn goes deeper: spotting, color, clots, discharge, libido, appetite, medications, alcohol/tobacco, pain, ovulation, and more. I just finished my first logged cycle and was impressed with how thorough the options are. I’m curious to see how these logs affect predictions and recommendations in the coming months. **Step Tracking** This is definitely the weakest point. The ring tends to **overcount** steps: For comparison here’s what Ringconn tracked vs my Garmin: 1. Oct 25 - 9713 vs 5547 Garmin 2. Oct 26 - 9020 vs 6367 Garmin 3. Oct 27 - 5262 vs 3631 Garmin 4. Oct 28 - 3912 vs 2618 Garmin Even a short trip from my bed to the bathroom got me 26 steps this morning 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’ve read that step tracking can be hit or miss across all smart rings, so if that’s your priority, you may want to wait for the tech to mature. **Battery Life** This has been great so far. I started wearing the ring Oct 7, and I’ve only charged it twice since then. I know others haven’t had the same luck, so fingers crossed it stays consistent! # Overall Thoughts For $159 during Prime days(?), I think it’s a great starter smart ring! I think this may be for someone whos perhaps less activity/step focused (and honestly there are so many great activity trackers out there for this), and more for overall health!

On most days I only want steps and some basic metrics and used to always wear a smart watch but recently got a smart ring. Best of both worlds. It does the basics well and I can still wear a normal watch. If I am going for a bike ride or run I will wear my Garmin. I don’t need to see my texts when my phone is always on me. When it is not, it must not be that important. I got a RingConn Gen 2 air and it does the job.

And that's also just his (YouTube guy) opinion based on how he does research. Everybody can have different results. I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that I don't get 12 minutes of deep sleep per 8 hours of sleep like Apple Watch says. My RingConn recorded 1hr 38min in the same night. That's just flat out inaccurate.

I like my ringconn gen 2! No subscription and it’s the thinnest on the market.
