    I’ve now had the Ultrahuman ring for a few weeks and I wish I’ve had this my whole life! The first thing I noticed is how lightweight the ring is, you really don’t even notice you’re wearing it. It matches the rest of my gold jewelry and really looks like a simple gold ring. It's very durable and is yet to show any sort of wear and tear. The layout of the app is easy to follow and organized. It is practically identical to its competitors but much cheaper and offers additional features. My favorite thing about the ring is that you can initiate the tracking of workouts, and it will appear on your phone. This is super helpful when I want to compare the workouts I do to my total activity for the day. I’ve also enjoyed tracking my sleep and circadian rhythm. These two features, along with the ability to track your caffeine window, have all helped me build a routine and feel more energized as a result. The battery life is impressive, I can go almost a week without having to charge it. And when I do need to charge it, it reaches 100% battery quickly. Overall, I will be recommending this ring to many of my friends with different lifestyles. This ring is the best way to track your health and wellness and avoids looking like a distinct piece of wearable technology.

    This ring is extremely accurate and has helped me track my sleep way better. The insights have improved the quality of sleep significantly. Beyond sleep, it also helps me with coaching nudges. Pairs well with my phone, is super comfortable and has great battery life. Highly recommend!

    I’ve really been enjoying my Ultrahuman Ring. It’s sleek, comfortable, and the insights it gives on recovery, movement, and metabolic health have been incredibly motivating. I especially love how it integrates so seamlessly with the app and how detailed the metrics are. That said, I’ve noticed the sleep tracking isn’t always accurate. It sometimes logs time I’m just lying down or watching TV as actual sleep, which can throw off my sleep score and recovery data. I’d love to see improvements in how it distinguishes between rest and real sleep. Overall, though, it’s been a great addition to my health routine—and I’m excited to see how it evolves with future updates.

    Great option for must-have health data

    Verdict: The Ultrahuman Ring Air is a great option for wearable data if you don’t have a smart watch that does that well (not all of them do) or if you like to wear traditional analog watches. It seems to be reliable enough at tracking the data that it advertises, it conducts interesting analysis of the data, and it aims to provide actionable insights for a better life. I was able to get six days of battery life on “Turbo” mode, leading me to think that I could get much longer on “Chill” mode (app estimates 10.4 days). Experience. I have been using a variety of GPS watches since the early 2000s and smart watches since the very first one. I have been increasingly interested to track as much body data as possible, and have mostly been disappointed with the primary smart watch I use (from the largest brand in the market). As a result, I bought a different smart watch (from an outdoors brand) to get better insight. I currently wear both to evaluate the consistency of collected data. Ultimately, I what I want is actionable or useful insights that can improve my life. The Ultrahuman Ring Air is my first non-watch wearable. First impressions. First, I really appreciate the availability of a sizing kit to better inform my choice of color / finish and size. Once I received the ring, I was most surprised about how light it was. I was expecting the ring to feel more like a metal ring, but it actually feels like the whole thing is plastic (the outer shell is in fact metal). The ring looks pretty nice; if worn on a ring finger, I think people would assume it’s just a wedding band (specially for men). I like the charger concept and wireless charging; it’s easy and fast to use. Performance. The ring appears to do a great job at capturing the data that it advertises: sleep, temperature, movement, heart rate, and women’s health (not tested). Battery life if quite good actually, with up to 10 days on chill mode. The Ring Air offers a way to track health data in the most discreet way and without a smart watch. When I run, I don’t bring my phone, so I was worried that the ring would not capture any data. I was wrong! When I finish my runs, the app is able to pull all data from the ring – this is great for my habits. Data. I have been interested to test the consistency of data across different devices. The Ring Air has been very consistent on skin temperature data, noticing abnormal temps every time I slept in a new location, and matching fairly closely with my watch that tracks skin temp (I trust the Ring Air more). I have noticed significant differences in movements at night; the ring reports only 6 (there is no way!), while my smart watch says 26 (I trust the watch here). My steps are off by 30% between the ring and the watch, with the Ring Air being lower by 20% than one watch, and lower by 10% than the other watch (not sure which is more accurate there). Sleep data is quite different from two apps with one smart watch, to the other smart watch, to the ring – I assess that the data from the Ring Air is good and close to the smart watch I trust. The sleep insights from the Sleep section of the Ring Air app is great – lots of great tips there. The Weekly digests are helpful and capture key takeaways for improvements. BOTTOM LINE: data across devices will be different. Pick one and develop good habits based on improving from the baseline provided by the device you choose. Durability. The outer shell is made from Titanium reinforced with Tungsten Carbide Carbon coating. After putting this ring through the ringer for 6 days, including yard work, weight lifting, doing dishes daily, 26 miles of running, etc., it still looks good. There are some small scratches here and there, but I expected much worse. It’s standing up to the abuse quite well so far. What I love: - Decent variety of finishes / colors - Better battery life than I expected (6 full days on turbo mode) - No subscription costs! Once you buy it, you have access to your data forever - Water resistant to 330m - Consistent data for sleep, HR, movement, and temperature to give actionable insights. Great weekly reports - Ability to put on airplane mode and still record your data - It also records data even if your phone is not with you - It has a “Find my Ring” feature, it’s not perfect but better than not having one at all. Of note, it would take a while to find the ring (10-20 sec delay on signal strength… but I think I would eventually find the ring) - I like the insights from “Brain Waste Clearance”. What I don’t love: - The ring should absolutely have some tactile markings where the sensor bump is so that you can quickly feel if it’s located on the palm side of the finger. Currently, it’s not really possible to tell the orientation of the ring when you are wearing it unless you wiggle it enough to see the interior of the ring. Tactile markings could just be a raised dot that is easy to feel, but not visible or uncomfortable. - I wish these came in half-sizes. My ring is a little too tight for my index and slightly too loose for my ring finger. I end up using the ring on both fingers: on the ring finger most days because it’s more comfortable and then on the index when my hands are going to be wet or sweaty so that I don’t l lose it (it would just slip off I think). - I’ve been wearing the ring for eight days now, but the Ultra Age hasn’t calculated yet (it says available after 7 days). - Cardio age fluctuation… Initially, my cardio age was 39, seven days ago. Now it’s 43. My cardio score from my smart watch has moved in the opposite direction in that time, going from 42 to 37. I have increased my cardio in the last few weeks and getting fitter, so the progression from my smart watch makes more sense than the one on the ring. - The Ultrahuman app doesn’t know when you are traveling to a different time zone. While traveling in Europe, the app was still telling me to start winding down and avoid sunlight to promote sleep when it was 7:30 am where we were in Europe. After 2.5 days, it finally caught up with the local time. Overall, I am happy with this ring, but I don’t think everyone will get the same utility across the board. If you already have a smart watch you love that does sleep tracking, HR, movement, and temperature, then don’t buy this… it will be redundant. Personally, I find that this ring complements my smart watch from a leading manufacturer, as it captures better data and gives me better insights. If I only used that smart watch, I would still buy this ring for a better health picture. However, the ring gives me similar data and analysis as my other smart watch (from an outdoor manufacturer). If you wear analog watches, then you should definitely buy the Ring Air because it will give you insights that may significantly improve your healthy. Buyers should consider their requirements and decide. If you find that you need this data and analysis at no subscription cost, then the Ring Air is a great option.

    I’ve been using the Ultrahuman Ring and I absolutely love it! It’s sleek, super comfortable, and provides incredibly helpful insights into my sleep, recovery, heart rate, and daily activity. It’s helped me become much more aware of how my body responds to stress, rest, and movement. The app is beautifully designed and easy to understand not just data, but real guidance. It’s become a part of my everyday wellness routine, and I can genuinely say it’s worth every penny. As a woman going through menopause, I do wish the Ultrahuman Ring would offer more features specifically tailored for women in this stage of life like tracking hot flashes, hormonal sleep disruptions, and mood variations. That would make an already amazing product even more powerful and inclusive. Still, I highly recommend the Ultrahuman Ring to anyone serious about improving their health and well-being. It’s a game changer! Taciana Alcoforado

    I was so excited about this ring and all its features but it’s very meh. Not accurate most of the time, even after wearing it for 4 months. Step count and workout tracking are useless. The sleep score is cool but I’m not even sure if that’s accurate. Wish I could return it but they have such a short return window on wearable items… which sucks when you need to wear it awhile to see if it’s a good choice for you. My sister got one at the same time and has gotten 3 replacements from UH because they stopped charging or wouldn’t connect to her phone. Just overall, not great. Thought this would be my Apple Watch replacement but it’s bulky, not accurate and overall underwhelming. It also scratches SUPER EASY and the gold color is giving costume jewelry.

    I’ve had the UltraHuman ring for about 3 weeks so far and it’s quite interesting. It has a wide range of information that you wouldn’t know or find out by not having one. From body temperature, sleep tracking, steps in a day and much more. It also has a built in workout system so you don’t have to find them on the internet or anything. The down side is the battery heath which only last about 4 days and less if you keep looking at the app for information. Over all good and has a sleek look. I have the Aster Black color

    Amazing piece of technology, light and informative

    This Ultrahuman Ring AIR is an amazing piece of technology! First off, before you even purchase the ring, there is a sizing kit that you can obtain beforehand that contains plastic rings that help you size the ring perfectly and enable you to wear for as long as you want before committing to a purchase. That is a superb idea! When the ring arrived, it was in a very oversized box for the product size, containing the ring, the charging base, a charging cord and instructions. Charge up your ring right away, download the Ultrahuman app and set it up. It doesn't take long, you can import information from your iPhone/Apple watch etc. to help it get a head start on its metric taking. The first thing that I noticed was this, and the only reason throughout its use that has removed one start from the review. The actual ring you purchase feels almost identical to the plastic ring that I used to size and test fitment of the ring in the first place. There was literally no difference in feeling of the ring - which means the test ring is very accurate, however, with the ring being made of 'Fighter Jet Grade Titanium reinforced with a Tungsten Carbide Carbon coating' it sounds strong and durable, yet it feels, well, plastic. And the finish on the ring, while being 'Aster Black' is only black in certain lights, and is actually a lot shinier and reflective silver in color when you view it in normal light. I'm not saying that is bad, it's a great looking ring, but if you are looking for a 'black' version of the ring, this is not it. However, those are the only negatives at all, that I can find about the ring. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, taking it off only for a short time to keep it charged (and it does remind you that you aren't wearing it!). It is incredibly comfortable, so much so it has replaced my wedding ring's position on my hand. Very light and unobtrusive, feels great while wearing it. And the data it is capturing is fantastic! My sleep patterns are very detailed, letting me know how long I slept (which is no-where near long enough), how deeply I slept, whether I tossed and turned in the night and how many times. It tells me how hot my skin is, what my heartrate is, and how consistent it is over time. It takes about two weeks to fully update and get a good accumulation of data, but when paired with the Ultrahuman app, it really does a deep dive into your health metrics. As of the last couple of days, it has finally triggered an age metric (as I mentioned it does take some time to accumulate the data) and it suggests that I am 3 years younger than my actual age, which I assume defines me as somewhat healthy! It's been fun going down the rabbit hole of information, researching the new data points that I didn't even know what they were to start with along with interesting tidbits of info that it has provided in the two short weeks. There are action plans, workout options, that you can trigger, there is a comparison chart with your friends, so you can compare how each of you are doing if you invite other people to your list, all great features that go above and beyond the data points of the ring. That app sends you push notifications if you so choose, it will tell you when to cut out caffeine, when to actually take some caffeine(!), when to stand up and move, when to close the curtains and remove some light from your day so that you can start to wind down easier for your night's sleep - it's all pretty impressive! Overall, very impressed with the ring, it is capturing way more data about myself than I expected. The price point is somewhat high to begin with, and as mentioned, the ring is light and comfortable as well, which did make the ring feel a little 'cheap' initially, but the benefits of the data, and the free companion app are all great features of this wholistic product. I did notice that the surface of the ring has been prone to a few light scratches in the short time I've had it, but you can buy ring protectors that slip over the ring to protect it, should you need to. Loving the ring so far and look forward to continued data collection for my own gratification!

    Effortless Health Tracking Meets Unmatched Comfort

    |

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    ----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: The Ultrahuman Ring AIR succeeds where many wearables fail by delivering genuinely useful health insights in a form factor you'll actually forget you're wearing. Its exceptional sleep tracking and Recovery Score provide actionable data that correlates remarkably well with how you feel, making it invaluable for managing daily energy levels. While step tracking isn't perfectly precise and the finish scratches more easily than expected during weightlifting, these minor drawbacks pale compared to its core strengths: effortless 24/7 tracking, subscription-free features, and an intuitive app with valuable "PowerPlugs" like the Caffeine Window. For anyone who's struggled with bulky smartwatches or wants comprehensive health monitoring without the hassle, the Ring AIR represents a compelling shift toward truly passive wellness tracking that actually improves your daily routine. Pros: - Lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear - Excellent for comprehensive sleep tracking and detailed analysis - Provides actionable health insights - Intuitive and well-designed companion app - Subscription-free core features - Good battery life (4-6 days) - Durable "fighter jet grade Titanium" shell - Medical-grade hypoallergenic resin inner coating - Water-resistant up to 100 meters - "PowerPlugs" for customizable health tracking - Seamless pairing process Cons: - Step tracking can be slightly imprecise - Finish susceptible to scratches, especially during heavy weightlifting - Charging dock LED indicator light is always on ----- DETAILS ----- Design, Comfort, and First Impressions: The Ultrahuman Ring AIR delivers a premium unboxing experience from the start. The clean, white packaging is reminiscent of opening a high-end tech product, revealing the ring, a compact wireless charging dock, and a quality braided USB-C cable. However, before you even get to that point, I can't stress this enough: start with the sizing kit. Best Buy often offers a deal that essentially makes the kit free after a gift card, so there's no reason to skip it. I'm glad I followed the advice to wear the sample sizer for two full days and nights. My initial choice in the middle of the day would have become uncomfortably snug overnight. Our finger size naturally fluctuates with temperature and hydration (a factor especially noticeable here in Phoenix), and the extended test definitively pointed me to the larger of my two potential sizes. The final Ring AIR fits exactly like the sizer, which is a testament to their process. Upon handling the actual ring, the "AIR" in its name immediately makes sense. It's astonishingly lightweight, weighing just a couple of grams. After the first two days, I genuinely forgot it was on my finger. This is arguably the most significant advantage of a smart ring. When a device becomes unnoticeable, 24/7 tracking becomes effortless. I've always struggled with tracking my sleep with a smartwatch. They're either too bulky to be comfortable or need to be charged overnight, defeating the purpose. The Ring AIR solves both issues beautifully. The ring itself looks and feels premium. Ultrahuman boasts about its "fighter jet grade Titanium" shell, and while that's great marketing, the real-world feel is one of solid, lightweight construction. The inner surface, coated with a medical-grade hypoallergenic resin, is perfectly smooth and has caused no skin irritation. While one side of the ring is flattened to house the sensors, it's completely unnoticeable during wear. Plus, with a water resistance of up to 100 meters, there’s no need to worry about taking it off for swimming or showering. A word of caution for weightlifters, however. I recommend removing the ring when using barbells or dumbbells. Not only can it be slightly uncomfortable, but despite its durable claims, the finish is susceptible to scratches. I noticed a few minor scuffs after one session and have taken it off for every workout since. This is a trade-off to consider if you want to track metrics during resistance training, for which I still rely on my smartwatch. Based on appearances, the "Raw Titanium" finish would likely be the most resilient against visible scratches. Actionable Health Insights: For such a diminutive device, the depth of its health metrics is truly impressive. The ring’s sleep tracking provides a nightly sleep score, but its real value lies in the details behind that number. It breaks down contributors like sleep duration, resting heart rate drop, temperature variation, and timing, transforming a simple score into an active tool for better rest. It even captures subtleties like how many times you toss and turn and provides a clear view of your sleep stages (REM, Light, Deep). I've found a strong correlation between my score and how I feel the next day, which has built a lot of trust in its analysis. When it comes to activity, the Ring AIR tracks the expected metrics (steps, distance, and calories) but presents them within a "Movement Index." I appreciate that this score rewards consistent, all-day activity rather than just a single, intense workout. As someone who can easily get locked into work at a desk, it's a powerful reminder to stand up and move throughout the day. The step tracking, however, isn't perfectly precise and tends to count more steps than my smartwatch. I see this as not a flaw, but as an inherent trait of a ring-based tracker. It's difficult to distinguish every hand gesture from an actual step. I view it as a directional guide for an active lifestyle, not a clinical pedometer. The Recovery Score was a new feature to me and quickly became one of the most valuable. The score synthesizes biomarkers like Heart Rate Variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and skin temperature to tell you how ready your body is to perform. The connection between this score and my subjective feeling is undeniable. Pushing through a tough workout on a low-recovery day leaves me feeling depleted for days. As a dad to a young daughter, understanding when my body needs to prioritize rest isn't a luxury. It's essential for being present and energetic. Heeding the advice to swap a high-intensity session for a light walk has had a profound impact on my overall well-being. The Ultrahuman App & Ecosystem: The Ultrahuman app is the central hub for all your data. Pairing via Bluetooth was a seamless, guided process that took only a few minutes. At first glance, the sheer volume of information can feel overwhelming. However, Ultrahuman has designed a clean, sophisticated interface that presents key insights on the main screen, while allowing you to drill down into specifics with a simple tap. It’s like a dashboard for your body, turning complex data into easy-to-understand, gamified scores that motivate you to improve. A standout feature is "PowerPlugs," a library of add-on modules to customize your experience. You can track your "Caffeine Window," monitor Vitamin D exposure (a very relevant feature living in sunny Arizona), and much more. I'm a huge fan of the Caffeine Window, which recommends optimal consumption times based on your sleep data. Simply delaying my first cup of coffee and having a firm cutoff time has noticeably improved my energy levels and sleep quality. Most of these PowerPlugs are free, keeping the core experience subscription-free, a major advantage over competitors. A few advanced modules, like AFib Detection, come at an extra cost, but they are entirely optional. Battery Life & Charging: The Ring AIR boasts excellent battery life, consistently meeting the advertised 4 to 6 days on a single charge. I primarily utilize the "Chill Mode" within the app, which strikes an optimal balance between data collection and longevity, providing 5 to 6 days of use. For more frequent readings, "Turbo Mode" is available, though it reduces battery life to approximately 4 days based on my experience. Charging is simple with the included dock. A full charge takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. My only minor gripe is with the charger's design. The LED indicator light is always on, which can be an annoyance in a dark bedroom. I've taken to hiding the dock behind a lamp, which feels like a workaround for a design oversight. A simple option in the app to disable the LED would be a welcome improvement. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Ring AIR 1 x Ring AIR Charger 1 x USB-C Cable 1 x Quick-Start Guide 1 x User Manual

    Beyond Steps and Sleep

    I was curious to see if this ring could actually do what it said it would do without charging me every month, as I've always been wary of wearable gear, especially smart rings.The Ring AIR surprised me with how light it felt right out of the box. My biggest worry going in was that it would be uncomfortable to wear all the time, but at only weighing around 2.4 grams and with just 2.4mm thick, it's fine. I opted for Bionic Gold finish, and to be honest, it appears more like a piece of modern jewelry than a smart ring.The titanium body with a tungsten carbide coating offers it a high end look that doesn't scream "fitness tracker" to everyone who sees it. I liked that they sent me a sizing kit first. It made the fitting process easy. I chose size 9, which felt snug but not too tight. After wearing it, I can confidently say I hardly feel it's there. The Ring AIR passes my test for comfort in wearables even when I'm sleeping, which has always been my test for comfort. The Good: What It Does Best Great Sleep Tracking This is where the Ring AIR really shines. Compared to other devices I've tested, the sleep tracking has been really accurate. It breaks down sleep stages like(awake, REM, light, and deep sleep) and gives you relevant information instead of just a bunch of numbers.Tracking my heart rate variability as I sleep has been really helpful in helping me understand how I recover. No need to pay for a subscription This is a big deal, so let me be clear. The Ring AIR gives you everything up front, whereas other smart rings charge you monthly fees. Yes, there are some extra features you may pay for, but the main experience is complete without any continuous fees. PowerPlugs Give You Actionable Insights The PowerPlugs function has changed everything for me. The ring doesn't just provide me statistics it also pushes me to make better choices. The caffeine window alerts have helped me time my coffee better, and the circadian rhythm tips have really helped me sleep better. It's like having a health coach who is soft on your finger. Full Health Monitoring The Ring AIR keeps track of a lot of different things, including heart rate, HRV, skin temperature, SpO2, sleep stages, and movement patterns. Keeping an eye on the temperature has helped me learn how my body reacts to stress and exercise. The Not-So-Good: Things That Could Be Better Inconsistent Sleep Tracking I praised the sleep monitoring before, but I have to be honest about the problems I've seen. Some nights the ring seemed to think I was sleeping for less time than I actually was sometimes by as much as 1.5 to 2 hours. It can be annoying when your attempting to find patterns and things don't always work out. How accurate is your heart rate during workouts? Monitoring heart rate during workouts been hit or miss. It's been trustworthy for casual activities like walking, but I have seen some inconsistent readings during more strenuous exercises. This isn't unusual for smart rings but it's worth noting if you care about workout metrics. Syncing apps and getting notifications When synchronizing data from the ring, the Ultrahuman app might sometimes be slow. Also, the notification system may be rather pushy, and its frequency can be bothersome at times. To find a balance that works for me, I had to turn down some. Battery It's okay, but not great, with a life of up to six days. I get the tradeoff because the ring is so thin, but I wish I didn't have to charge it as often. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to think about. Experience Using It in Real Life, The Ring AIR has really changed the way I live my life. The information about circadian rhythms has helped me figure out why I feel energetic at some times and tired at others. The recovery measures have helped me figure out how hard to work out, and the sleep coaching has helped me get ready for bed better. I've worn the ring in the shower, while swimming, and even while doing various water sports, and it has held up well. The hypoallergenic inner shell has kept my skin from getting irritated, which was a worry since I'm wearing it all the time. What you get for your money , The Ring AIR costs about the same as the other Smart Rings, but you don't have to pay for a membership. It gives good value for someone who wants to keep track of their health without the bulk of a smartwatch. The insights are really helpful, and the fact that it's comfortable makes it easier to keep track of things. The Ultrahuman Ring AIR isn't flawless, but it's a strong choice among smart rings For most users, its strengths comfort, extensive tracking, actionable information, and no subscription fees outweigh its shortcomings. The sleep tracking is not always perfect, but it gives me some useful information that has really helped me sleep better by changing my bedtime habits If you want a discreet and comfortable way to keep track of your health indicators and get gentle reminders to modify your habits, the Ring AIR is the way to go. Don't expect it to replace a dedicated fitness watch for serious workout monitoring. Be ready for some bugs with the app and data syncing. For me, it became a big part of my health regimen. The information has been helpful, the comfort is great and the fact that there are no monthly costs makes it a good longterm investment in my health tracking journey.

    Buyer beware. My ring died after just 2 months of use. Followed all of the support protocols to no avail. Left with a dead ring, and no support. My suggestion, if you are in the market for a smart ring, research the support before making your purchase, and stay away from this one.

    I have loved this since I received it. It looks amazing, is comfortable and provides more stats than I know what to do with! That could be a good or a bad thing for some people but I love stats so the more the better! Setup: The device comes in a nice looking package. It will have a braided charging cable, your ring and a charging dock. Setup is simple as you only need to charge it and install the app on your device for pairing. You initially will not receive much data as most of the data is fully available after a few days. Style & comfort: I received my unit in Aster Black. It is a shiny blank that is slightly more thick than a traditional ring. I decided to wear it on my ring finger where it fits nicely and does not interfere with much. I have to be a little more careful when grabbing things though as the ring is made of titanium and is harder than many other materials. For example, when I open my car door, I am more careful what part of my finger grabs the handle so I don’t scratch the paint, the same with when I hold a phone or tablet without a case as the ring might scratch glass (I scratched a watch face with it by accident). The ring is extremely light and feels almost plastic, but this is because of the titanium build which is extremely lightweight. So far, I am very impressed in this category. My only complaint is that this color attracts fingerprints and smudges very easily. I have received no scratches in a week of use. Battery life: I have worn this for a week and charged it once. I have it set to the default battery setting which uses the most battery when sleeping or exercising, otherwise it sips battery throughout the day. It took about four days for mine to get to the point where I needed to charge it. App usage: The app is extremely robust. It is almost too much data for some people. Of note, I enjoy the circadian rhythm tracking, caffeine window (more on this later), sleep tracking, and recovery. There are other metrics which I don’t need such as Brain Waste Clearance, and more with the ability to use “Powerplugs” which are essentially free and paid extensions which add additional tracking like jet lag, ovulation, vitamin d and more. I love the caffeine tracking, as it shows the best time of day based on your metrics to consume caffeine for the greatest effect. I also like the Vitamin D tracking which does require a bit of extra input, but it allows you to track best times for sun exposure based on UV exposure and provides guidance. The app includes a section called “Ultrahuman Digital” which includes mediation sessions, workouts, sleep sounds and stories, podcasts and more. For those who might be in need of a continuous glucose monitor (GCM), they have an extra service for sensors and integration which can be extremely useful for metabolic fitness. Also, there are loads of 3rd party integrations for most popular services including MyFitnessPal, Garmin, Fitbit, Withings, Peloton, Health Connect and more. Of note, there are optional subscription options which I deem to be actually useful. For a fairly cheap price, one can get extra value on trade ins, theft and loss coverage, weight loss coverage where they will replace your ring if you lose weight, damage protection, and more. The cost is only

    My experience with the AIR has been mostly positive over the time I’ve spent with it. My first impressions are this is a very nicely designed product and the company is committed to making this product successful. USAGE—You need to wear the ring for a while so it can learn your body. Once it does learn your body the app will provide you with a lot of data, maybe too much if you are not ready. Within the app it tries to explain some of the metrics but at times I found the explanation of them to be confusing. The ring has multiple battery usage modes: Turbo, Chill, and a low power mode. I stared with the ring on Turbo to get the most initial data at first and did not experience any battery issues. On Turbo you will definitely get the worst battery life so Chill is recommended. Using chill I have easily achieved 5-6 days of usage between charges with the latest firmware update. This is where the “in-progress” comes in since I’ve received the ring I have received multiple firmware updates and with each one came its own issues. Luckily Ultrahuman appears to be on top of making the AIR a better product with each update and are very quick to fix any bugs/issues that arise. DESIGN— The titanium is sleek and the ring is very comfortable to wear. The packaging is minimalist but very well executed. In the box you will receive the ring, charger and USB-C to USB-C cable. There is not a block included so you will need to supply your own, which is not too much to ask at this point. SETUP— After reading the quick start and following the initial instructions my ring quickly paired with the app and my phone.

    Great Smart Ring No Subscription Required

    Years ago, I used to wear a smart watch, but I quickly learned the downside of having a small version of a smartphone on my wrist and wanted to be less connected. I ended up replacing my smartwatch with a health tracking watch, but noticed it lacked a lot of the technology a smart watch provided. When I learned of a smart ring which provides a plethora of information to fill that void, I was excited to try it. This ring is designed to be used on either the index, middle or ring finger. I choose to wear my ring in place of my wedding ring since it is more comfortable and stays in place. I also choose the Aster Black color and could not be happier with the finish and color. I have been wearing this ring for about a week and have been pretty amazed with all the data and suggestions the app provides. Unsurprisingly, I noticed the step counts and fitness tracker varied slightly from my watch and phone. However, no tracking device is perfect. How you use the data to make healthier lifestyle choices is the most important aspect. The app is amazing and I was thrilled there were no monthly/yearly subscription fees. Ultrahuman provides so much information on their app, but makes the data not seem overwhelming. The color choice for each section and the ability to choose what data you want to access makes the data more valuable. I also am a big fan of the suggestions the app gives to help improve the scores. The only improvement I would like to see would have an option to charge the ring when it is on the finger. The battery life only lasts a few days and data is missed when I am not wearing it. I would highly recommend this ring. The data it provides is very useful, the app is thorough and organized, and all of this is provided without needing another subscription.
