The Ultrahuman Ring Air brings accurate and insightful sleep tracking and a holistic overview of daily activity, readiness, and wellness. It’s not for super-sporty or prosumer athletes like Whoop, and feels like a smart evolution of the fitness tracker. Despite its lightweight build, the chunky black design didn’t suit us – but if it’s your cup of tea, it delivers a top-notch tracking experience.
The starter gun has well and truly been fired on the smart ring market, and it feels like one of the most exciting aspects of wearable technology right now.
While smartwatches seem to be taking a hiatus, with few changes expected to the latest generation of big-name devices, there are smart rings dropping left, right, and center.
The Ultrahuman Ring Air is here to grab a piece of the Oura Ring 3 pie – as is the Movano Ring which is expected to land in September 2023. We’ve also seen the Ringconn also move into the wellness space too.
The Ultrahuman Ring Air is a follow-up to the standard Ultrahuman, and is designed to be thinner and lighter. But is it better? And is this a worthy alternative to Oura?
We’ve spent a month wearing it. Here’s our verdict.
The Ultrahuman Ring Air costs $349 in the US – and there are no subscription fees, which is a big advantage. The US store will ship abroad, but there’s now a Kickstarter for people to pick up the ring worldwide . That’s set to an early-bird price of £279 in the UK. Shipping is set for October.
The Oura Ring 3 is $299 (around £230) and ships internationally. But there’s a mandatory $5.99 subscription – so that’s an extra $70 to factor in. However, it’s one of the best wearable health-tracking platforms around.
