What is it?
A feature packed health tracking ring.
Good points?
The RingConn Smart Ring boasts a minimalist, sleek, and futuristic design, making it a stylish accessory.
Its construction is top-notch, with an IP68 rating, ensuring it is dust-tight and water-resistant up to 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) for 30 minutes. This makes it a durable option for daily wear and various activities including swimming.
Weighing between five to eight grams (0.18 to 0.28 ounces), it is light enough to be worn comfortably all day and night, without feeling cumbersome.
One of the standout features of the RingConn Smart Ring compared to its competitors is the comprehensive health monitoring capabilities it possesses.
Equipped with sensors that enable the ring to monitor a variety of advanced health metrics, including heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep stages, activities, and stress levels ensures users have a holistic view of their health and well-being.
The subscription-free system offers tailored health guidance based on the data it collects. This personalised advice can help users make informed decisions about their health and fitness routines.
Battery life is impressive as the device can last up to seven days on a single charge. However, when used with the portable charging case, can be extended up to 150 days.
Bad points?
The shiny finish is prone to scratching and could potentially fade after time.
Best for ...
Those who want to keep a close eye on their health statistics without compromising on style.
Avoid if ...
You are not a ring person as the gadget is meant to be worn constantly for greater insights into how you function.
Score: 9/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
