🎯 Who is this for?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
- $299 with no subscription, ever
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.
- 10–12 day battery with 150-day case
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.
- Sleep apnea detection under $300
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. Battery lasts 10–12 days ring-only, extending to 150 days with the included charging case. It has been replaced by the RingConn Gen 3 (May 2026) but may still be available at clearance.
