RingConn Smart Ring Review (2024)

RingConn Smart Ring's standout feature is its sleep tracking. 😴

This new tech ring can record your sleep in detail.

All the recorded information can be found in an app that works on both Android and iPhone.

We were curious to know if it works as well as it claims.

So we tested it for you.

Sleep phases.

RingConn registers a wide range of sleep states, including REM, deep and light sleep, as well as the times when you're awake.

It can also record your naps during the day. 🌞

But the big question is: Are these records accurate?

We compared RingConn's sleep data with the Apple Watch Ultra and the Oura Ring to check.

Here's what we found when we compared the data:

The total sleep time recorded by RingConn and Oura was very similar.

They both showed similar periods of being awake, although the Apple Watch had trouble detecting these times.

However, the RingConn recorded less deep sleep than the Apple Watch and Oura.

In general, though, wearable devices can't measure sleep with 100% accuracy.

You need to go to a sleep lab for the most accurate results. 🧪

But compared to other wearables, the RingConn is a reliable way to measure sleep.

Sleep score

The Sleep Score tells you how good your sleep was.

The score can range from 1 to 100, with 100 being the best sleep. 🌙

A higher score means that you slept better.

In our test, the Oura Ring achieved a sleep score of 64, but the RingConn had a higher score of 81.

However, we have found in previous tests that Oura usually gives a lower sleep score. 📉

But we think that the lower sleep score given by Oura is actually more in line with our own feeling about the quality of our sleep.

Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiratory rate

The new RingConn keeps an eye on more than just your sleep.

It also tracks how much oxygen is in your blood and how often you breathe. 🌬️

Oxygen saturation shows how well your blood is carrying oxygen around your body.

In a healthy person, it should be above 95%.

Breathing rate indicates how many breaths you take in one minute.

If you're healthy and resting, you take about 12 to 18 breaths per minute. 🕰️

You can see all this info in the app.

With these extra features, you can better understand your overall health.

Smart alarm

A smart alarm watches how you sleep and tries to wake you up when you're in a light sleep.

This way, you wake up in the morning feeling better.

But RingConn doesn't have this function. 😔

Our day-to-day experience

When we tested the RingConn, we were impressed by its sleep-monitoring capabilities.

It proved to be reliable and accurate. 🤩

We liked that it can also monitor naps.

This is good for people who like to take a short nap in the afternoon.

All in all, our daily experience with the sleep analysis function of the RingConn Smart Ring was very positive.

RingConn claims that it can measure various things about your activity and fitness.

We wanted to find out, so we tested it.

We took a close look at RingConn's data and compared it to two other devices - the Oura Ring and the Apple Watch Ultra.

When we got ready to do some exercises, we were curious to see how the RingConn would perform. 🚴‍♀️

Activity score

Every day RingConn gives you a score that shows how active you have been.

In the app, you'll find a detailed overview with the times in which you were most active.💪

We liked this feature very much.

And when we tested it, RingConn gave us a score of 76.

The Oura Ring gave us a similar score of 74.

So similar to other fitness trackers, the Ringconn does a good job of keeping track of your movement. 👌🏼

“Smartwatches and wearables can track a variety of health data such as steps, heart rate, calories burned, sleep patterns, exercise activity and location. These can help improve one's fitness and health. However, there is also a risk of privacy being compromised if this data is misused by third parties. It is, therefore, important to be aware of what data you want to share and how to protect your privacy.”

Steps, distance, and inactivity

The RingConn counts how many steps you take and how far you walk in a day. 🚶‍♂️

This gives you a good overview of how much you have moved.

The RingConn also remembers when you aren't moving.

When you check the app, you can see how much time you spend standing and sitting.

Calorie consumption

The RingConn can do more than just count steps - it also tracks calories burned. 🔥

So you can better estimate how much energy you use each day.

Data accuracy

You may be wondering whether RingConn's data is accurate. 🤔

That is precisely what we wanted to know.

So we compared the data from RingConn with those from two other devices: the Oura Ring and the Apple Watch Ultra.

To simplify it, we've highlighted the distances in green and the step counts in red in the screenshots below.

We chose the Apple Watch Ultra as a reference device because it's made specifically for sports.

Here's what we found out:

The step counts of the RingConn and the Apple Watch Ultra were almost identical.

The distance measured by both devices was also very similar.

But when we compared these to the Oura Ring's data, there were some small differences.

Also, the RingConn seemed to show that we had burned fewer calories than we actually had.

But all in all, we were impressed with how accurate RingConn's data was. 📊

Our day-to-day experience

RingConn does an excellent job of recording your daily activities.

It has been conducive to keeping track of our daily activities. 👣

But if you really want to increase your training, the RingConn might not be the best choice.

Instead, a smartwatch designed specifically for fitness may be a better choice.

“Smartwatches track health data such as heart rate, calories burned, sleep patterns and your exercise activity. The data is shared with other smart home devices, which can be helpful in gaining a better understanding of your health and fitness and optimising exercise or sleep plans.”

Battery life is a crucial factor when we consider wearables. 🔋

It tells us how long we can wear the device without charging it.

RingConn claims that its smart ring can go a week without charging.

We tested it and want to share our findings with you.

Battery life

In our test, we found that the battery of the RingConn lasts between 5 and 7 days. 📅

This depended on how much we used it.

If you move around a lot or do a lot of sports, the ring will need to record more.

This causes the battery to drain more quickly.

But all in all, the battery life was exactly as stated by the company.

So we're pretty happy with it. 😃

Charging case

The RingConn comes with a wireless charging case, which is quite handy.

This case can charge the ring 18 times before it needs to be recharged.

The case is slightly larger than the cases you see for earbuds and has a smooth finish.

It's decorated with the RingConn logo, which looks pretty neat.

To charge the case, you use a Type-C USB port. 🔌

The good news is that a cable allows you to connect a Type-A port to a Type-C port.

So you don't have to buy an additional cable.

A rubber layer inside the case keeps the ring in one place.

So it can't move when you close the lid.

There is also a magnet that holds the ring in place. 🧲

We even shook the case to see if the ring would move, but it stayed still.

It didn't make any noise or shift, which is great. 🎉

Charging times

We tested how long it takes to charge the case and the ring.

Both were fully charged in about 1.5 hours each.

But remember, you don't get a power plug with your purchase.

However, you can easily find a variety of power adapters online.

To set up your RingConn and to check your data, you need the RingConn App.

It works with iPhones as well as with Android phones. 📱

Data stored in one place

The RingConn app displays all your tracked data.

This includes details about your sleep, your steps, how active you were, and calories burned.

So you can always easily check your stats and see how you're doing.

You can also connect the RingConn app with Apple Health.

This means that you can see all your RingConn data in Apple's own Health app. 🙌

You can also see how you've been doing over a few weeks right in the app.

Changing the settings

With the RingConn app, you can adjust all the essential settings for your ring.

You can also set it up to notify you when your heart rate is too high or too low. 🔔

Our day-to-day experience

We tested the RingConn app and were very satisfied with it.

It's simple to use, and thanks to the clear layout, everything is easy to find.

It allows you to customise your ring settings and display your data how you want.

We can't wait to get new updates and improvements to roll in.

If you're still unsure about the RingConn, that's okay. 🙂

There are many other great options, and we're happy to introduce you to some of them.

Let's explore the alternatives.

Oura ring

The Oura ring is considered a pioneer in the smart ring industry.

It helps you in your daily life by recording your sleep, activity and heart rate, among other things.

Circular ring

The Circular ring was released in the fall of 2022.

At the moment, it's not quite as advanced as the Oura or the RingConn, and its data tracking isn't as reliable.

We faced issues with it, so we can't recommend the Circular Ring yet. 👎

But if it's further improved, it could become a good option.

Smartwatches

Smartwatches are another good option if you want to track your sleep. 😴

They have many great features for fitness and sports.

However, some people find that large smartwatches aren't comfortable to wear to bed.

If you're an athlete and want to improve your performance, a smartwatch might be just what you need.🏋️‍♂️
