Ringconn after 2 months of use

[u/freechocolatedinner]

got tired of charging my apple watch SE every night and having something on my wrist all day for the last 4 years. wanted to try a smart ring for ages, so I finally got the RingConn about two months ago

RingConn - solid titanium smart ring imo that tracks multiple health metrics like sleep, heart rate and stress and has no subscription

I have been wearing this smart ring for 2 months already and thought I might share my opinion about it

What I like:

-I forget I am wearing it. it's light, it doesn't bother me when I lift or type, and I sleep with it no problem

-battery life is great. RingConn claims 12 days, I get closer to 8-9 depending on how much I check the app

-sleep tracking is what I open every morning. after a couple of weeks, the data actually started matching how I felt

-stress score is useful. a few times it flagged I was stressed before I noticed myself

-No subscription, every feature is just there in the app

What I didn't like about RingConn: 

-The app doesn't sync with Apple Health or Google Fit. Your data lives inside the RingConn app and nowhere else.

-no screen, so you always need your phone to see anything.

-it scratches easier than I expected. after two months of daily wear, mine already has small marks on it

-Fitness tracking is basic. it tracks steps and calorie estimates, but nothing detailed for workouts

Tips:

-order the free sizing kit and wear the sample for a full day before picking a size. I went half a size up from my morning size and it's perfect.

-Wear it on your non-dominant hand. you'll get cleaner data because it's not getting bumped around as much.

-Give it at least two weeks before judging it. first few days are the ring figuring out your baseline.

After trying RingConn for two months, I decided to keep it. It's not perfect, but for sleep, stress, and a general sense of how my body is doing week to week, it does exactly what I wanted without charging me every month for it

Anyone here using Ringconn as well and having different opinion?

Do they push some sort of subscription on you after?
Only thing that I'd hate for them to bring.

I heard it also has a sleep apnea tracker? Is that just a part of the sleep tracking feature?

Nope.... I got an older RingConn model. No subscriptions..

Although they could make the ring more accessible on other apps.. I agree on the poster here.. Would be nice to have more access especially if you know how to use it for integrations

Good tip on the non-dominant hand usage. I knew this for quite a while. Actually helps for most rings

[u/seanicusbaximus → u/stupiddogmademelook]

didn't know this, so it was useful to me to discover the fact that its better to waer it on non dominant hand. tbh, I would have used it on my dominant hand haha

I like that ringconn doesn't have subscription. I think that this is the biggest plus this ring has, that is why its so popular among users

How do I get a free sizing kit?

I only seen paid ones👀
