- The update of firmware 3.11.0 arrives at the Ringconn Gen 2 and Gen 2 and Gen Rings
- He adds automatic driving detection to devices
- Training data is now more clearly presented
Thanks to the firmware update 3.11.0, Ringconn Gen 2 – and Gen 2 Air – users can finally take advantage of a feature that should have been available at launch: automatic training detection.
Once you have turned it over in the application management section of the application, your ring indicates that it will be able to automatically detect training sessions which last 10 minutes or more – and Ringconn promises that its technology can automatically monitor activities such as running, walking, cycling, etc.
The training tracking was previously available, but you had to remember to record training manually, which was easy to forget (more about it in a moment), so it will be a serious game changer for Smart Ring users.
The update also improves the information you withdraw from the Summary screen of the training. You will see a cleaner summary of your heart rate areas, the energy you have spent during your training and how it is broken down over the length of your exercise.
You can even see how many steps you have taken for your walk – Granular ideas are therefore not limited to your most extreme sessions.
Small detail, but a big problem
I was a serious champion of my smart ring Ringconn Gen 2; I have not stopped carrying it only for months when I have become a used to gym and the ring embarrassments my grip.
But I always wear it from time to time and continue to appreciate its factor of subtle but elegant shape combined with its long battery life.
Training was followed up, however, its greatest weakness.
During the ring test, I forgot to connect about half a dozen training sessions before, by triggering a race, I finally remembered activating training in the application. From my criticism, I may have used the functionality a handful of times.
This automatic detection – if it is effective – will change the situation.
The Ringconn Gen 2 was the ideal tracker for occasional users – people who want to monitor their sleep (and their sleep apnea), step accounts and heart rate but are not too disturbed by more intense training. This automatic detection means that the ring should be more attractive for people who like to opt for regular jogging and wish to follow their efforts precisely.
It is so exciting that I am back to carry my Ringconn Gen 2 – especially the days when I plan to go to run – to take advantage of this automatic detection.
More to come
It’s not all ringconn.
At IFA 2025, he presented his generation 2 rings used to monitor blood pressure, and although it is not entirely ready for a full public launch, a beta version would soon drop.
We will have to wait and see precisely when it will launch – and when a fully extensive version is ready for us to use – but I may have to start wearing my intelligent ring much more regularly (and remembering to remove it during my gym sessions).
