Budget-conscious health trackers who want the core benefits of a smart ring — sleep insights, HRV, SpO2, and continuous heart rate — without Oura's subscription or Samsung's Android-only limitation. A strong pick for first-time smart ring buyers who want to try the form factor without a large financial commitment.
Key strengths
All health tracking features are included at no extra cost. No monthly membership required — all sleep staging, HRV trends, and health reports are free in the app.
The ring itself lasts 10–12 days on a charge. With the included charging case, total battery extends to 150+ days — the longest effective battery life in the smart ring category.
RingConn Gen 2 is one of the few smart rings under $400 to include sleep apnea risk monitoring, using SpO2 and respiratory rate sensors to flag potential breathing disruptions overnight.
RingConn Gen 2 launched September 2024 as a $299 smart ring with no subscription. It monitors heart rate, HRV, SpO2, skin temperature, and respiratory rate 24/7, and includes sleep apnea risk monitoring — a feature typically absent from rings costing twice as much. Battery lasts 10–12 days ring-only, extending to 150 days with the included charging case. Available in four colours and sizes 6–14 for iOS and Android.
No — RingConn Gen 2 costs $299 outright with no subscription required. All health features — heart rate, HRV, SpO2, sleep staging, sleep apnea risk — are included in the app at no extra cost. Significantly cheaper than Oura Ring on a 2-year total cost basis.
RingConn Gen 2 ($299, no subscription) saves roughly $190+ over two years compared to Oura Ring 4 ($349 + $5.99/month membership). RingConn also has longer battery life (10–12 days vs Oura's 5–8 days). Oura has a more mature app, a larger community, and a stronger track record for sleep accuracy. Choose RingConn for value; choose Oura for platform depth.
The ring itself lasts 10–12 days on a single charge. The included charging case extends total battery to 150+ days before you need a wall outlet — meaning you can travel for months without a charger.
Yes — the RingConn app supports both iOS and Android. All health features work equally on both platforms.
Sizes 6 through 14 are available. RingConn ships a free sizing kit before purchase so you can find the right fit.
RingConn has not officially announced a Gen 3 with confirmed specs or release date. There is no reason to hold off purchasing Gen 2 waiting for a successor.
