RingConn Releases Gen 3 Smart Ring as a Subscription-Free Alternative

The new ring bundles continuous SpO2 sleep-apnea tracking and blood-pressure detection but those health claims have not been cleared by regulators.

Overview

  • RingConn has launched the Gen 3 and it is now on sale starting at $349 with brushed finishes priced at $369 and availability through RingConn and Amazon.
  • The Gen 3 adds continuous SpO2 monitoring that RingConn markets for sleep-apnea detection and a blood-pressure detection feature that the company says work without a recurring subscription.
  • Hardware changes include a haptic vibration motor for health alerts, up to 14 days of battery life with vibration off and about 10 days with it on, a travel charging case that RingConn says extends total endurance, and 100m water resistance.
  • RingConn’s sleep-apnea and blood-pressure claims are company-reported and not FDA-cleared or independently validated, so accuracy and medical use remain unproven for now.
  • The launch includes a Warner Bros. Lord of the Rings rewards tie-in for eligible U.S. buyers and arrives as smart-ring competition heats up from firms like Oura and Samsung, which recently secured FDA clearance for sleep-apnea detection.
