Introducing RingConn Gen 3 at CES 2026: Features Even Oura Lacks

Highlights from ZDNET

If you're passionate about smart jewelry, note that the next version of RingConn's smart ring is arriving soon. Recently unveiled at a major tech event, the RingConn Gen 3 smart ring introduces exciting enhancements beyond the second-generation models.

In the evolving landscape of wearable technology, RingConn has managed to carve out a niche as a cost-effective, subscription-free alternative to premium devices such as the Oura Ring. Its market presence has steadily grown over recent years.

Feature: Monitoring Blood Pressure

A prominent characteristic of modern smart rings and watches is the ability to track blood pressure, and RingConn Gen 3 is no exception. It provides users with information on blood pressure trends for evaluating potential health risks, though it isn't designed for medical diagnosis, so don't expect exact readings.

Additionally, users can anticipate improved battery performance with the new model, although specific details on battery life have not been disclosed yet.

Smart Alerts Through Vibration

The inclusion of subtle vibrations that notify users about health updates is becoming standard across smart rings. This feature promises to integrate real-time alerts into an otherwise display-free device, enhancing its functionalities.

Enthusiasts of minimalist smart rings may find this feature particularly appealing as it aligns with their preference for devices without screens, thereby maintaining its phone-reliant features.

Style Variations and Size Options

The Gen 3 model expands aesthetic and fitting choices, offering five finishes: brushed silver, brushed gold, polished future silver, polished royal gold, and matte black. Additionally, ring sizes now range from size 6 to size 15.

While RingConn has released details on many aspects of the Gen 3 ring, the pricing information is still awaited.

Known for its functionality and affordability, the RingConn Gen 2 Air has previously been favored by ZDNET, making it a strong contender among budget-friendly smart rings.
