What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews.
So I've got something new to show you guys, this is [Music]
The RingConn smart ring. Now this smart ring is jam-packed with health sensors, which can track
your day-to-day activities, including 24-hour heart rate, blood oxygen monitoring, you have
step counter, sleep tracker, stress monitor and it can also monitor your skin temperature and lots more.
Now I've been wearing this smart ring for a few weeks now and this is my full review, sharing
with you my thoughts on what this product is like, after real-time use, but is it as good as the Oura Ring?
Well you're certainly going to find out in this video.
Now first of all inside the Box you get...
A charging case and a charging cable, that's type c to USB a cable and of course the smart ring itself.
Now here's something really useful that I do want to mention. When you first place your order, you only need to choose the color, not the size.
You will then be sent a free sizing kit which I have here with the complete range of sizes that are available there are nine sizes to choose from
so you just pick one, try it on until you find your perfect fit. So my perfect fit is size 11 and then
your order is dispatched with the ring size that you chose. So really nice way of ordering a smart ring.
I love that you get the size guide first. So this is the charging case, and you can see
the RingConn logo on top. The case is actually made completely from metal there's a single USB-C port
on the back, to charge the case itself. The charging case has a 500mAh battery built-in and
that will charge the ring 18 times fully. So that's a pretty handy case. So let's have a closer look at
the ring itself. The ring is made from Ultra tough and lightweight titanium, it's finished
in silver and it's available in black or gold as I mentioned earlier. So Ultra tough and extremely
lightweight and in case you're wondering how light, let's put it on the weighing scale you can see, it
weighs only 3.6 grams and the inside of the ring is either made from plastic or ceramic. It feels
really smooth and you can see you've got your charging pins and a whole bunch of Health sensors,
which can track your day-to-day activities and what makes this smart ring even more attractive,
is the battery life. This smart ring can last up to seven days which is actually quite impressive
for its size and features. Now to charge the ring You're simply lining up the charger pins towards
the bottom. So when you place it in it's held in magnetically anyway. So even if you tilt it upside
down, the Ring's not going anywhere and as soon as you place the ring in the case a blue light
will turn on, letting you know it's charging.
Now the smart ring is very comfortable and light on the finger.
There is no vibration or sound, so it just feels and looks like a regular Ring. The Ring is also ip68 water resistant so you don't need to worry about water damage.
I've been taking showers with this ring on every single day, washing my hands throughout the day. Soap, water, hot water everything going on that ring, nothing has affected it.
So no issues at all soap and water is not going to damage this ring. Now as you guys know I love my smart watches, I love tracking my
health and the best thing about this ring when compared to a Smart Watch is you don't need to
do anything for it to work. All the features are on by default. You just wear the ring and go about
your everyday activities and all your health is tracked automatically.
Furthermore the ring connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and it uses Bluetooth 5.0 and all your health stats are
automatically synced to the smartphone, every time you open the smartphone app.
Now the app itself is called the RingConn app it's available for both Android and iOS I'm using it with my pixel 6A (one of my fav phones of last year)
As soon as you open the app it automatically syncs all the data
and you can see all your past recorded data at the top, so if I just select yesterday's data you've
got sleep activity and stress and it even tells you color coded, excellent, improvable and normal.
So sleep, that night your sleep time was 1 hour 30 30 minutes longer, than the previous average.
So it tells you how long you were in bed for 7 hours and 20 minutes, sleep efficiency 98.
You've got sleep, heart rate and a sleep score if you keep going, it gives you some detailed information on stress as
well and if you want detailed information on any of these metrics just tap on the subheading over
here so if I tap on sleep it will let you know sleep efficiency, sleep stages how long you're
awake for and all the other information including light sleep, deep sleep and there's your heart rate
So your heart rate is automatically monitored 24 hours a day and you can see with timing.
I went to sleep at 11:32PM and I woke up at 6:51AM in the morning and you can see my heart rate
average 62 beats per minute. So there's the HRV information, seven night average, spo2 blood oxygen
is also automatically monitored throughout the day, including whilst you're sleeping and it gives
you an average there with a chart.
Respiratory rate is there as well and naps, so if you sleep longer than 15 minutes, it will be recorded as a nap.
I personally really like tracking my sleep, since I've been wearing this ring I don't really need to wear my watch in bed so
my smart watch basically stays on charge and I only sleep with the ring now. Sleeping with the
ring is much more comfortable than sleeping with the watch, now let's tap on activity so Sunday's
activity score 45 walking distance. You've got your intensity and total calories.
There's my total steps there, didn't do too well on Sunday. I guess I was just relaxing but if I go to Saturday
you can see it's a totally different story, 3.5 kilometers I walked, intensity and calories and
you can see the total steps 6334 and you can see various charts letting you know how you did and
finally, you can tap on stress for more detailed information on your stress levels.
So the software experience is really good straightforward easy to use.
If you tap on the logo in the top right hand corner, it will take you to the ring settings. So you can see 100% battery.
We are connected via Bluetooth, if I tap on ring settings you can unbind or update the firmware.
We are currently on the latest firmware. It even knows what ring size you've chosen, so ring size 11.
Device version gen 1. There's some firmware information there let's show you another setting it's called trends when
you tap on it it will show you Trends based on week, month and year.
So this is last week, you can see my average sleep-time, minimum and highest and again same with the steps, minimum, highest and so on so forth.
Finally if you tap on me, it will give you some more information, some more settings
to play with so you select your username, and when you tap on it it'll give you your
personal information like date or birth height, weight Etc
Then you've got reminder settings, so wearing guides an sedentary reminder, high heart rate reminder and high heart rate settings.
If you tap on General you've got language and I'll show you the languages available, at the moment it's only 2 languages.
You've got dark mode, it says follow the system, when enabled dark mode will follow.
System on or of,f you've got length, unit and weight. You can choose your metrics and temperature, I've
chosen Celsius. Account security will give you some options to bind, unbind, change your email address etc.
Under about you've got some terms and conditions and policy information and then
you've got feedback and then firmware update at the bottom. The health metrics also do appear to be
accurate, whether I'm using the Apple watch or the Samsung Galaxy watch that is what I predominantly
use for my health tracking, especially sleep tracking, but now it's nice to be able to take
the watch off put it on charge go to sleep. I don't need to wear the watch while I'm sleeping and it's
giving me accurate sleep tracking results. Now another benefit specifically for this smart ring
is, you don't have to pay for app subscription. So you can use the app subscription free you're
not paying anything for the app and that is understandable, I don't see why anybody would
need to pay for the app. Well guess what guys? The leading competitor Oura Ring requires a monthly fee, to use their app.
So I think RingConn done a great job with this product,
They looked at what the Oura Ring ring has done wrong and they basically rectified everything with this product
and I do want to do a very quick comparison between the two so Oura Ring versus the RingConn Ring.
So you can see the RingConn is half price. You get free app with no subscription fee. You get 247 blood oxygen and
heart rate variability versus only night time in the Oura Ring 3.
Also the Oura ring 3 does not even support stress monitoring, or even come with a portable charging case.
So as you guys can see so many advantages of the RingConn, over the Oura Ring Gen 3.
Okay, so it's now time to test the accuracy of these Health sensors, so this is the O2ring
It's a medical grade, heart rate and spo2 monitor. So you just wear it on your finger and it gives you the accurate results.
So let's compare, first of all the heart rate. So on the phone if we tap the top left hand corner and then
you will see the word measure. Okay, so the O2 ring has already given us results, 68 heart rate and 96 blood oxygen
and we've got 67 beats per minute, 66 versus 74, 74 versus 74. So we're on 70 on the O2 ring, 72
on this side, 72 on this side, they're both 72 neck and neck. That's gone to 69, that's gone to 69.
So you guys just saw that the heart rate sensor in this smart ring is nearly as accurate
as the O2ring medical grade sensor. So very impressed with that.
We're going to test the spo2 now, so tap measure. So that's measuring the smart ring and the O2 ring has already given us
a measurement it's 97 we've got 98, we've got 99 on this side, it's still measuring apparently.
So we're just going to wait and see 98 has gone down to and is stopped and over here is 97.
so 97 versus 97 they're both on 97 now. So it looks like we've got very accurate sensors in this product.
So there you have it guys, that was the RinConn Smart Ring.
Now obviously a smart ring is different to a Smart Watch. There is no display to look at. So every stat can be viewed from your
smartphone app. Also this smart ring can track every step you take, but if you start running, it
will not track it as a run, it only tracks walking steps, if you go to the gym and want to initiate
a workout, you can't do that with a smart ring so in other words for workouts smart rings can only
track your walking steps. Also there is no built-in GPS or location services, so you can see how many
steps you take, but you cannot see where you were walking or what route you took. So they kept it
as a simple step counter. Now battery life is very good, it's quoted for seven day battery life, and I
was realistically achieving 6.5 to 7 days and the battery charges up within 60 minutes.
Which is great, but I was realistically achieving 6.5 to 7 days. So this little thing has a better battery
life, than my Apple watch and my Galaxy watches all put together and this beautiful all-metal charging
case, will charge the ring up 18 times fully. So really nice to get this charging case included as standard.
So who is this smart ring ideally for? Well if you're someone, who is not that tech savvy
and wants an easy way to track Health metrics, with minimal or no intervention. Then this smart
ring is ideal for you. So you charge the ring, wear it and check the stats when you need to.
I'm actually very impressed with RingConn. They've produced an affordable smart ring, with useful
accurate health tracking and great software to go with it. Absolutely great design, titanium, Ultra
strong, IP68, it's super light. You almost forget you're wearing it.
Really nice charging case to go with it, this is something that they could have even charged you separately.
So to get a charging case with this product is a super bonus and I highly recommend this smart ring over the Oura Ring any day.
The Oura ring is a great product too, but if I had to choose from the two I'm going for
RingConn, for the extra benefits, the saving in price, the quality design and even extra features you
get is a no-brainer. So that concludes my video on the RingConn smart ring. If you enjoyed the video do
consider hitting that like and sub button. I do hope you found it useful. Thank you so much for
watching and I hope you all have an amazing day, I'll see you guys in the next one.. peace! [Music]
