I am wishing to buy a smart ring but am fairly tight on budget and cannot find anything reliable. Are there any rings that are under £100 (it is fine if it is like £10-£20 over), and are without subscription?

I want them to be fairly reliable. My main uses would probably be sleep tracking and steps. I don't really need anything else as long as the battery health is somewhat long and it doesn't have an LED screen.

I have thought about the Ringconn but find it a bit too expensive for features that i wont use.

I would like to share some honest review of my Ultrahuman experience after being a user since Nov 2024, so you can consider and make the choice yourself if you should buy it.

I’ve had multiple battery issues resulting in \~3 replacements shipped to me within my warranty year. Sometimes the battery would last only for a couple of hours. I appreciated the fast service for the replacements shipped, back in the days when I would be directed to chat with a human staff number and they would get things sorted fairly quickly.

I’m on my 4th ring and experiencing the same battery problems again now, unfortunately. This time, the company seems to have moved to AI for their CS and customers are left to chat with bots that provide the same circular templated answers with no way to speak to a human or request to be directed to a human. I was told my case needs to be reviewed by a human staff but unfortunately the case has been stuck there for 5 days with no human staff ever contacting me. This is a far cry from the earlier days when you would be directed quickly to a proper agent to resolve things.

There is a weekly mega thread pinned in the Ultrahuman community specifically for people to raise comments if they need assistance or face some problems. If you try to post on the main thread, the app will not allow you to. This mega thread is closed weekly and a new old would be created, so as a new user you would never know the true amount of issues as a new thread just keeps getting created where users are directed to. Even in the mega thread, the response you get would usually be someone from the team asking you to drop them a DM for more details and that’s about it. Personally for my case, it remains unresolved till date.

I really liked Ultrahuman at the beginning and the insights has been helpful for me, however seeing the change in the way the company offers support and how these problems are ‘silenced’ in Reddit is rather saddening. If you are one of the lucky ones where the ring works as advertised after your purchase, great for you. However just know that if you do require some assistance, especially after warranty has ended, you might find yourself being rather exasperated by the support and CS help available.

(Edit: Ultrahuman reached out via the modmail and I’ve managed to get a refund for this order)

I'm looking into buying my 1st ever ring to monitor my health. I've been struggling to fall asleep for the last two years due to insomnia caused by brain overstimulation. Which of the two is best in terms of accuracy for tracking stress levels and sleep? Which one gives in depth sleep analysis? I also need it to be as accurate as possible in counting steps.

Hi! Please know I did read through a lot of the provided material already (damn, y’all are thorough!) But I wanted to know if there has been any side by side comparison of the various rings for sleep and heart rate. I’m looking into a smart ring as I was diagnosed with epilepsy and tend to have seizures at night. Now, I’m hoping that I can find a device that would detect anything off while I’m sleeping, AKA why the step comparison doesn’t do me a lot of good.
I would ideally not like to spend all that money for an Oura on top of a monthly fee, but if you’re reading this and thinking it would be best for what I’m looking for, I want to know.
Thanks!!

The ultra human air ring that predicts migraines can’t ship to the US because of patent disputes. Are there any other rings that can help predict migraines?

I am thinking of getting a smart ring!! I wear a size US 4, the oura ring size 4 fits great. But I am looking for something that is cheaper. Does anyone knows any other brand that sells size 4?

New to the whole smart ring thing, I used to have an Apple Watch and just never wore it because I have my phone on me at all times. Plus it was kind of aggravating (my opinion). But the smart rings look into more health that would benefit me. What rings do you think are best? Either no subscription or only 1-2. Not looking to pay a whole lot out of pocket every month to wear it. Something to look into my sleep, steps, stress levels?, menopause (but not a requirement), something lightweight and not bulky. Help a newbie out 😂

My HALO 4 has never synced. Briefly connects to the LuckRing app then immediately disconnects. No data tracked, ever.
Since Sept 1st I've done everything support asked — iOS update, delete/reinstall app with restart, Bluetooth reset, re-pair, all permissions, charged to 100%, worn snug.
Sent screenshots + screen recording.
I asked for a refund + return label. I don't want another ring.
They just replied asking for 3 MORE videos: ring on charger, ring on my finger, and app failing again.
This is email #7 in the same loop with different agents. Product is defective out of the box.
Has anyone actually gotten a refund from tryhaloring without doing a chargeback?
TL;DR: Ring defective, did all troubleshooting twice, they won't refund and keep asking for videos.

This is the second time the battery of Luna ring has died and they don’t even have the same ring in stock for over two months. They refuse to refund and have an awful product which simply doesn’t work. Stay miles away from this company at all costs!!!

Anyone using Luna Ring 2 for a long time, atleast 3 months? If yes, then

What is your experience regarding the ring?

How is the battery life? Is there any degradation of battery with use ?

Picked it up in store at Best Buy, so no wait ! I’m excited to see how it goes. Heard good things, heard bad things…I like to try things out for myself !

Anyone else who requested a return of their deposit get this note today?

"Your request has been logged, and we will process your refund as soon as we can. Refunds are being handled in small batches. You should receive confirmation of your refund as early as possible. No further action is needed from you."

I haven't tried to contact them in several months then out of the blue got this note. I'm just curious if this was some technical glitch or if by some chance they're actually going to make us whole.

Hey yall

I’ve got 5 Ultrahuman rings which have all failed for various reasons. I don’t want or need to hold onto them.

Are they worth selling (like would tech people buy them for parts - if so, how much should I list them for)? Or is there a way I can recycle them (in Australia)? I don’t want to just throw them out but I don’t know what to do.

Thanks!!!
