Ultrahuman's redesigned ring is sold in the US at $479 after the Ring Air was blocked over an Oura patent (CNET, Engadget). It offers 10+ days of battery and a feature-rich charging case. Engadget rates it 8.9/10, but ZDNET gives it 3/5, calling it chunky and more expensive than the Oura Ring 5.

Subscription: Optional: no membership, but paid 'Power Plugs' add-ons, including a monthly fee for AFib detection (Engadget)

What experts say

  • Engadget: 8.9/10 (2026-05-14): better hardware and a brilliant case, but pricier than rivals and not a quantum leap.
  • ZDNET: 3.0/5: long battery and free case, but chunkier and more expensive than the Oura Ring 5.
  • CNET: The Ring Air was banned in the US after Oura's lawsuit; the Ring Pro is available in the US from $479.

If that catch is a deal-breaker

Highly ranked smart rings whose biggest complaint is something else.

#1 in smart ringsOura Ring 5

The top pick at WIRED, PCMag, Tom's Guide, ZDNET and CNET: 40% smaller than the Ring 4, comfortable, with accurate sleep and stress tracking and about 10 days of battery in PCMag's test. The catch is the $399 price plus a $6-a-month membership that WIRED says still feels mandatory, and sizes stop at 6-13.

Its catch: membership on top of a $399 ring#2 in smart ringsOura Ring 4

Still sold alongside the Ring 5 and getting the same software updates, it's PCMag's Best Value pick and Wirecutter's top sleep tracker. But it's bulkier than the Ring 5, needs the same membership, and 1 in 5 Amazon ratings are 1 or 2 stars, often over battery life and rings that fail within a year.

Its catch: battery and reliability problems#4 in smart ringsRingConn Gen 2

The $299 titanium step-up from the Gen 2 Air, adding sleep apnea monitoring, VO2 max and a charging case that RingConn says keeps it going 150-plus days. Experts mention it mostly as an alternative rather than a top pick. About 1 in 5 Amazon ratings are 1 or 2 stars, often about batteries that stop holding a charge.

Its catch: battery stops holding a charge; rings stop working
