- The RingConn Gen3 is now available for pre-order
- It has new features including Vascular Health Insights, Blood Pressure and Vibration Alerts.
- Currently, vibration alerts are only related to health events and reminders, rather than phone notifications.
The RingConn Gen 3 is now available for pre-order and features a range of upgrades and improvements over the RingConn Gen 2. Our reviewer called the slimmer RingConn Gen 2 Air the “perfect entry-level smart ring” and it made our best smart rings list. It’s clear that RingConn is already doing something right.
Although the new model is slightly thicker, it comes with many new features, including Vascular Health Insights and Smart Vibration Alerts. Vascular Health Insights is RingConn’s name for looking at your data over the long term, with the feature said to “push the ring beyond simple logging and more toward interpreting long-term patterns,” according to the RingConn website. It is “designed to help users understand broader cardiovascular trends over time.”
RingConn emphasizes that it turns heart health signals into actionable information, but at this time it’s unclear how this differs from similar features in Oura and Samsung Health.
Blood pressure monitoring is also being considered, although RingConn is not careful about the ring replacing a blood pressure cuff, as is the case with the best hypertension feature on Apple Watches. Instead, it is intended as an advisory or estimate only.
Haptic feedback
RingConn’s Smart Vibration Alerts are interesting: it’s a feature that’s currently not used by top smart rings like the Oura Ring 4 and Samsung Galaxy Ring. Instead, these are smart rings adopting an element of interactivity rather than remaining focused and silent for data collection.
However, rather than alerting you to phone notifications, RingConn Gen 3’s smart vibration alerts are only for health events, with the press release stating that “Gen 3 isn’t trying to become a noisy mini-smartwatch.”
“The vibration feature is health-first, not message-driven. This helps align the ring with what people actually want from this category: helpful advice without constant distraction. Presumably, these health events include features similar to those of the best smartwatches, alerting the user to an unusually high or low heart rate. The vibration function can be turned on or off.
A solid foundation
The RingConn Gen 3 builds on the solid foundation of Gen 2, with sleep apnea detection, menstrual cycle tracking, and improved battery life (up to 11 days with vibration on or 14 days with vibration off).
It has all the usual metrics for wellness metrics like stress, heart rate variability, blood oxygen, sleep tracking, steps, calories and much more. Stay tuned for our full review and you can pre-order the RingConn Gen 3 here for $386 (around £285 / AU$535).
