The RingConn Gen 2 packs plenty of health-tracking features and has the longest battery life I’ve seen on a smart ring.
The RingConn Gen 2 is a subscription-free smart ring that monitors sleep, exercise, and stress.
It monitors your sleep, activity, stress, and vitals, and it’s got a marathon battery life.
The only downside is the user interface feels underdeveloped.
Most smart rings these days claim to offer marathon battery lives, but often fall short of their promise. Many smart rings claim to last a week’s worth of battery, but only make it to five or six days before dying on me. Part of the appeal of smart rings, compared to smartwatches, is their longer battery life, so what gives?
I’ve got one for you if you want a smart ring with a truly competitive battery life. I’ve been testing the RingConn Gen 2 smart ring that boasts a marathon battery life of 10 to 12 days. The smart ring comes with other perks — and a few drawbacks — that I’ll get to below. RingConn Gen 2
The RingConn Gen 2 offers the longest battery life I’ve tested. It lasted longer than my Oura Ring 4.
Right off the bat, the RingConn 2 has some green flags. Unlike competing smart ring brands with products that start at $350 and go all the way up to $400 or $450, this smart ring costs $300 — and does not require a subscription to gain full access to your health data. Sizing starts at size six and goes through size 14, and you can get the ring in three colors: silver, black, and gold.
The build of the ring is more square than circular, but I found myself unbothered by this unique shape. It fits comfortably around my finger with no problems. Despite healthy and frequent wear, the ring doesn’t tarnish easily either.
The RingConn Gen 2 comes with a case that extends its already impressively long battery life, powering the smart ring’s empty battery for over 150+ days. As someone who is constantly charging several wearable devices at a time, this long-lasting charging case that I could use without hooking the smart ring up to an outlet made me partial to RingConn.
Most smart rings offer up daily scores for two to three important health metrics: sleep, activity, and readiness. Readiness is calculated based on yesterday’s activity, how you slept, and other biometric data, like how late your heart rate dropped as you slept.
