Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

Has a ton of great data, only one problem there are connectivity issues. Today is the 21st of Jan 2025 it has not synced since the 18th

I've been using the Ultrahuman Ring for a month, and I can't stop raving about it! This sleek, stylish ring has completely transformed my approach to health and fitness. I absolutely love the sleep alarm feature! It wakes me up after completing my selected number of sleep cycles, ensuring I start my day feeling refreshed and energized. It's a bit of an investment, but trust me, it's worth every penny for the benefits it offers. Overall, the Ultrahuman Ring has far exceeded my expectations. If you're serious about taking control of your health and fitness journey, this is a must-have.

I'm happy with the purchase only had a week it's still in calibration but the battery has lasted 4 days the data is still in calibration but also shows steps & active hours

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!

This is the best wearable device to sleep. Nothing even get close to, it just works!

They did price match for me & it was awesome to get the ring from bestbuy instead of ultrahuman.

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.

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.

Do you ever feel that you need some type of accountability for keeping healthy habits? The Ultrahuman Ring AIR does just that and more. First, a little bit of background. I am healthy for the most part, but something I do lack is keeping a consistent sleep schedule, and at times, not getting enough sleep. For a couple of years now, I have struggled to keep a consistent sleep schedule. This was due to various factors, but typically, I have prioritized other items over sleep. But in the time I have been using this ring, things have changed. I have been using this for about a week now, and wow, sometimes all you really need is accountability to get a healthy habit going. I just had the most consistent and longest time in bed this past week. And as surprising as this sounds, all it took was this Ultrahuman Ring to motivate me. On top of motivating me, this ring requires no subscriptions, which is a rare thing to say these days! In this review, I will go over my experience in using this smart ring. *TLDR at the bottom ================= IN THE BOX/SETUP: The smart ring comes nicely packed in a low-key white box. You will get the ring, a charging base to set your ring on for charging, a USB-C to USB-C cable, stickers, and some documentation. No charging brick is included, but a phone charger or a USB-C port on a laptop can be used. As a preface, this is my second Ultrahuman Ring, as my first one was faulty outside the box. This first ring would not connect to my phone or turn on at all. Luckily, Ultrahuman’s customer service was top-notch and quickly replaced it for me. You will need the Ultrahuman app to use this ring. You will also need a Google or Facebook account to sign into the app. While convenient, I would like to see other account options that don’t require you to connect an existing account. After going through a couple of setup steps and answering some questions, you will see the option to connect your Ultrahuman Ring AIR! The second ring arrived fully charged and connected to the app and phone quickly. It was up-to-date and ready to be used! This took about 10 minutes. ================= RING FIT, DESIGN, DURABILITY: Before buying this smart ring, I recommend using the Ultrahuman Ring AIR sizing kit. Best Buy offers this kit for $10, which also comes with a $10 gift card that can be used to purchase the real thing or something else. The sizing kit also has color samples so you can see all the colors that are offered. I decided to go with Matte Grey. The fit feels about the same as the plastic rings in the sizing kit. The ring can either go on your index, middle, or ring finger. I decided to use the ring on my index finger. I have no complaints about the fit, my hand has gotten used to the ring being there, and it almost doesn’t feel like I have it on. In terms of design, the outer part of the ring is made out of titanium, which the human body is biocompatible with. Titanium is a strong metal as well as a lightweight metal, which is great for a ring of this caliber. The outside is coated with a tungsten carbide coating, which, according to Ultrahuman, is resistant to everyday wear and tear. The inside is made out of epoxy resin, which should be hypoallergenic according to Ultrahuman. Physically, this ring is durable. I can attest to this as I have worked out while using the ring. While lifting, the ring does brush against whatever you are gripping, such as a dumbbell. I noticed there were iron shavings on the ring. I thought the ring had scratched, but after some warm soap and water, those shavings went away. In terms of physical durability, I am certainly impressed! I am more concerned about the software and battery durability. With some research, some have reported bricked rings after an update. I haven’t had a chance to install an update, but hopefully, this isn’t the case. Additionally, I am curious how long the built-in battery will last. Batteries naturally degrade over time; my concern lies with how long the ring's battery will last on one charge in the future. So far, I have charged the ring once after 5 days of usage. And this was on “Turbo Mode,” which is more battery hungry. Down the road, I can see one having to charge the ring 1-2 times a day, which can be a nuisance. Only time will tell. ================= ULTRAHUMAN APP: The Ultrahuman app has a simple UI that is easy to navigate. There are five “tabs” within the app, and about 2 of them are useful. The non-useful tabs are there to sell you additional Ultrahuman products, or if you have the product, connect them within the app. I wish you could hide the tabs, but I’ve been doing fine ignoring them. The tabs you will be in the most are the “Ring” and “Profile” tabs. The Profile tab is self-explanatory; this has everything regarding your Ultrahuman profile, like email, order history, and app integrations. You will spend the most time in the “Ring” tab. I love the UI here. Each tracking metric (e.g., movement, sleep) is separated into blocks. If you want more information, simply click the block, and more information will be displayed. I especially love how the blocks are color-coded depending on where you are currently with that metric. Green is good, orange is decent, and red is bad. This has been one of the sole factors why my sleeping patterns have improved this past week. The color codes are a psychological trick to get you to care for and work on whatever needs improvement. I am a gamer too, so treating this like a game has helped significantly as well. The ape brain says we must work and stay in the green! Another feature within the app is the ability to add an activity or task. Some of these are workouts, activities, food, breathwork, and more. I didn’t get a chance to use all of them, but the ones I did use, I will go into more depth in the next section. Finally, in the upper right corner is the “My Ring” section. When you click on it, you will get your ring’s status, battery, last known location, and battery usage mode are some of the items that can be seen here. I hope I don’t lose the ring because the “Locate my Ring” feature is terrible. After a couple of feet of walking away from the ring, the app loses the ring, and it lets you know the last known address of the ring, which won’t be helpful if you are in a populated area. Due to the internal space limitation, I understand why Ultrahuman didn’t add something simple, such as a small vibrating motor or speaker, to be able to easily locate the ring. The ring can also receive firmware updates, which can be installed within the My Ring section. ================= MY 1 WEEK OF USE: This past week has been a great learning experience when it comes to my health. My original intention was to use the ring for tracking sleep. But I have discovered that there is much to discover about my health. I will go through some of the information and general smart ring use here. I will start with sleep tracking. I can’t say how accurate this is, as I don’t have another device to test this out with but generally, the tracking seems to be consistent with when I go to sleep and wake up. A nice feature about this ring is that the ring can store data offline for a couple of days, which is great as I don’t have BT on the entire time. The app also gives you a recommendation of how much to sleep, which is located in the Sleep Debt section. Something else I have been tracking is Dynamic Recovery. This section lets you know how well you have recovered based on 6 metrics. Some of these metrics are heart rate, skin temperature, and a stress rhythm score. Yes, the app tracks stress, which I have noticed is sometimes inaccurate. At times, I am at my desk, and I take a look at the app, and the stress rhythm score is at a “Stress” level when I don’t feel stressed out at all. I haven’t figured out why this happens yet. I have also been tracking how much I move throughout the day, which can be tracked in the Movement section. I WFH a couple of times per week, so this one has been taking more work to improve. There is a minimum number of steps that the app suggests one take, and this is set at 11000, which is easier said than done. I do workout and that counts as “movement” in the app. But this needs to be tracked by manually activating it in the app. Once activated, the ring starts to track your movement using all its sensors at max. Using this mode is power hungry. But with this information, the app does start giving you more useful metrics, like giving you a Cardio age. I have strength trained with the ring on a couple of times, and it's not the most comfortable. You lack grip when doing some exercises, and sometimes the ring rubs on the bar, which is uncomfortable as the ring feels like it's being damaged. From now on, I will likely not use the ring for any strength training. Although this would be great for cardio, swimming, or any activity where your grip isn’t required. Here are some other items I didn’t get to focus on, but are available. There is a section where the app lets you know about the best time to consume caffeine. A built-in food tracker, which I did use for a meal, but noticed the nutrition facts were inaccurate, and there was no way to update the info. There is also something called PowerPlugs, which are additional features that can be enabled, such as a Vitamin D intake tracker and a screentime tracker. Some are free, some aren’t. There are more features that I couldn’t get to use during this week. It will surely take me some time to get through all of them. ================= CONCLUSION/TLDR: Overall, this smart ring has been a game changer for my health. Some data is inaccurate, like Stress Rhythm and at times, heart rate. The Ultrahuman Ring AIR has held me accountable to work on my health, and I hope it does so for a long time. On top of that, there is no subscription required! If that sounds like something that seriously interests you, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this smart ring a shot!

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!

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.

I ordered the Ultrahuman ring in raw titanium after selecting the size and color using the sizing kit. I went back and forth on finger placement and size and finally decided on the index finger of my left hand. Now that I have the actual ring, the finger choice was a good one, but a half size smaller would’ve been ideal if half sizes were available. The color is identical to the sample color. The “titanium” metal looks like it will last and not show scratches. However, to minimize scratches since I do a lot of yard work, I found a pack of 10 silicone protection covers in a variety of colors for less than $10. The ring is much larger than any cosmetic ring I would wear, but it doesn’t get in my way or interfere with anything. I only notice it when I turn a doorknob or make a sharp turn when driving. It comes off a little easier than the sample plastic ring did because of the difference in material. It does want to slip off when in water. Depending on the tightness of the fit, it might be a good idea to remove it before swimming. The app does have a “locate my ring” feature if the ring is lost, but it’s not very helpful. The phone had to be within 4 feet of the ring before it could detect it. At that point it told me the direction to go to find it. The charging and set up instructions were very easy to follow. Once fully charged, the lithium polymer battery should last 4-6 days. The ring should be charged at around the 30% mark and not drained. The charging level is monitored in the app. On day 3 I had 58% charge left so I should get 6 days between charges. Since I probably won’t remember to check the battery level every day, it would be nice if the ring would vibrate or something to let me know it’s time to charge it. The big question is how long the battery will last since that’s the life expectancy of the ring. When the duration of a full charge starts to decrease to 4 days, there are troubleshooting steps in the app to restore the interval to closer to 6 days. There is tons of data in the app and it will take me some time to go through it all and decide how to apply it. The app says it will take 15 days for it to calibrate and learn my habits. So far I’ve been able to monitor sleep duration, pulse, and steps. The app has notification reminders to get up and move, to stop caffeinated drinks close to bedtime and to go to bed earlier. Some days I agree with its interpretation of how well I slept and some days I don’t. On a night I thought I slept really well, the app gave me a score of 77 and said I got up several times during the night - which I didn’t. On a night when I was awake a lot, it gave me a score of 89 and said I slept well. When I got out of bed this morning it said I had walked 689 steps already. Maybe it’s still calibrating, but some of the data seems a little wacky. The price tag is a little high, but unlike some other fitness trackers, there is no subscription required with the Ultrahuman ring. When the subscription price is taken into consideration, the price seems more reasonable. I did get an email about purchasing extended coverage for damage or theft. The 2 year plan for $54 will replace the ring one time if damaged, stolen, lost or if it needs to be resized due to weight loss. I’ve worn fitness trackers on my wrist before, and have always eventually given up on them. They were in the way and the face would get scratched. They were too uncomfortable to wear while sleeping. The advantage was being able to easily see my steps and the time of day. With the ring, all the feedback (and there is a lot of it) is in the app. A wish list for the ring itself would be a little window that shows the time of day and the charge level. It could even be on the inside. Other than that, I can’t see any improvements that are needed, except perhaps the accuracy, which is yet to be seen.

The Ultrahuman Air Ring is a great alternative for anyone who struggles to consistently wear a watch, or keep track of one (that’s me). The ring itself is extremely lightweight and virtually unnoticeable while wearing it. I’m usually sensitive to jewelry and don’t wear any, but I’ve had no issues with this ring so far. The Good - the ring has an impressively long battery life. I’ve been charging it every 2–3 days, but only because I happened to be near my charger and relaxing, not because it needed it. It tracks a wide range of metrics and seems very accurate, especially for sleep and heart rate. The data is incredibly detailed, sometimes almost too detailed. The app is visually stunning and fairly intuitive, though there is a slight learning curve that some users might find frustrating. The Bad - first off, the firmware. I ran into issues updating it, and a quick search showed I wasn’t the only one. It seems the problem has since been resolved, it left me a bit wary about future updates. Also, while the app is beautiful, interpreting the data can be a challenge. It sometimes feels like there’s too much information and not enough context, such as comparisons to others in my demographic (age, weight, gender). I’m very tech-savvy, but my wife isn’t, so I asked her to go through the app with me. When we explored the app together, she struggled to make sense of it, which makes me wonder if others might find the large amount of data more confusing than helpful. Another downside is the number of in-app “Power Plug” subscriptions. Some, like glucose monitoring, are significantly more expensive than the ring itself. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable spending that kind of money while firmware issues are still fresh in my memory. That said, I did subscribe to the Cardio Power Plug and have been happy with it so far. On a side note: I had concerns about wearing a ring while playing guitar. Fortunately, I found a silicone cover for the ring that has made a world of difference. The cover prevents the ring from banging against my guitar or other surfaces, and has been key to me being able to wear it for days on end. Overall - This is a fantastic ring and a refreshing alternative to my smartwatch, which I use inconsistently. I love that the battery lasts several days, making it easy to track sleep without having to recharge it every night. It hasn’t caused any sensitivity issues, and so far, it seems the firmware bugs seem to be behind us. I’m excited to check out more of the free Power Plugs (like the Vitamin D tracker) and can’t wait to see what features they roll out next.

----- 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

Summary: The Ultrahuman Ring AIR smart ring is a great option for tracking and helping improve your health. The Ring AIR is very light weight and almost undistinguishable from other fashionable rings if you want to be stealthy. It's a great way to get reminders throughout the day to get up and get active or know when your caffeine window is open or when to start winding down for the night. It's not the best activity tracker, (walking, running, weights, etc), but it doesn't claim to be. I happened to recently have a baby and wanting to make sure I'm a good parent, I neglected my sleep to care for the baby. The Ring AIR helped me track my sleep and understand how I'm resting throughout the day and night. It predicted my immune system might be compromised if I neglect my sleep. I tend to get sick when I don't get enough sleep, it was pretty much spot on. It was a great way for me to get reminders and nudges to make sure I'm also taking care of myself. I'd DEFINITELY recommend this for the person that's looking to keep better tracking of your sleep and general activity throughout the day. I DON'T recommend this for someone looking to track their exercise. In the Box: Ultrahuman Ring AIR smart ring Charging Dock USB-C cable Setup: The Ultrahuman Ring AIR was very easy to setup and the app makes it simple. The app guides you through the whole process. The only thing you need to be aware of is the Ring AIR needs to be charged before use.

Searching for a way to track key health measurements such as movement, heart rate, and sleep patterns without a smart watch is simple with the Ultrahuman RingAIR. You can keep your traditional watch and just slide on a small ring to get to tracking your stuff! UNBOXING - When you first open the box, you are immediately presented with the ring on its own. Nice presentation! After you remove the ring, pull out the first layer, and you can then remove the charging dock and the included braided USB-C charging cable. I was genuinely surprised by the braided charging cable as it added a premium touch. There is no AC adapter included, so you will have to use your own. Pairing the ring to your phone/Ultrahuman app was fairly simple. You are advised to charge the ring first for about 30 minutes prior to pairing it with the app. During the pairing process, the app checks for firmware updates and updates the ring as needed. Soon after, you're up and running. PERFORMANCE - The ring monitors various health metrics, including sleep stages, step count, heart rate, and skin temperature, as well as other important statistics related to these measurements. I found that the ring typically lasts a couple of days on a full charge, although I always make sure to recharge it before the battery gets too low. Usually, I place it on the charging dock in the morning after getting ready for my day. In the Ultrahuman app, you can configure the ring to optimize its performance and improve battery life by selecting from three modes: Turbo, Chill, and Critical. APP - The Ultrahuman app is both simple and frustrating to use. It prominently displays the measurements tracked by the ring and does an excellent job of presenting this data. However, the app contains many unnecessary features that make it feel clunky, and it often comes across as a sales pitch for other Ultrahuman products and services. One of the features that I have appreciated throughout the day, though, has been alerts on when to taper off caffeine intake to help me improve my sleep. CONCLUSION - Overall, I believe the Ultrahuman RingAIR is an excellent product and a compelling alternative to a smartwatch. While it has some drawbacks, it effectively fulfills its intended purpose. The material, raw titanium, not only looks great but also feels high-quality. My favorite feature has been the sleep tracking, which allows me to monitor my sleep quality and make necessary changes for a better night's rest. If a smartwatch is not your thing, but you want to monitor key measurements like heart rate, sleep tracking, movement, and skin temperature, then you shouldn't be disappointed with the RingAIR.

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.
