Extended Battery and Smart Charging
The Ultrahuman Ring PRO's 15-day battery life marks a significant improvement over previous smart rings, including Ultrahuman's own Ring Air, which offered four to six days of power.This extended duration is up to four times longer than some competing smart rings, according to Ultrahuman.The longer battery life aims to reduce charging frequency, providing users with more continuous health data.[tomsguide+7]
Accompanying the Ring PRO is an innovative Pro Charging Case. This case can extend the total battery backup to an impressive 45 days.The case also features Qi wireless charging and includes an embedded speaker for a "Find My Case" function, helping users locate their charger if misplaced.LED indicators on the case show remaining power, and haptic feedback provides alerts.The Pro Charging Case is also capable of storing up to one year of the ring's health data.[croma+23]
Advanced Health Tracking and AI Insights
The Ultrahuman Ring PRO is built with a durable titanium unibody construction.It incorporates a redesigned heart-rate sensing architecture, which aims to improve the accuracy of tracking, especially during sleep and recovery periods.An upgraded dual-core processor powers the device, enabling faster data processing and more accurate measurements through on-chip machine learning.The ring can store up to 250 days of health data, ensuring continuity even when not regularly synced with a phone.[croma+24]
A key new feature is the Jade Biointelligence AI platform. Jade offers real-time guidance and interprets health metrics, moving beyond simple data dashboards.This AI system can pull data from Ultrahuman's broader ecosystem, including its Blood Vision service and M1 CGM device.Jade operates in both standard mode for daily interactions and a deep research mode for comprehensive long-term analysis.Importantly, Ultrahuman has confirmed that access to Jade is not tied to a subscription and will also roll out to existing Ring Air owners globally.[croma+7]
The Ring PRO tracks various health aspects, including sleep patterns, stress rhythms, movement activity, respiratory health, heart health, and women's health.It also introduces an "ultra age index" that monitors how lifestyle choices affect aging.Specific features, called PowerPlugs, include a caffeine window, circadian rhythm tracking, and vitamin D insights, some of which are free while others, like AFib detection, are part of a paid tier.[croma+3]
Design, Safety, and Market Position
Ultrahuman has also integrated a safety feature called ProRelease Technology. This allows the ring to be more easily cut apart in the event of finger swelling or injury, providing an important safety measure for users.The Ring PRO is available in multiple finishes, including Bionic Gold, Space Silver, Aster Black, and Raw Titanium, and comes in sizes ranging from 5 to 14.[tomsguide+10]
The Ultrahuman Ring PRO is positioned as a competitor to other prominent smart rings in the market, such as the Oura Ring and the Samsung Galaxy Ring.Ultrahuman CEO Mohit Kumar emphasized the Ring PRO's battery life as a "fundamental breakthrough" that redefines the category.He stated the Ring PRO "takes performance and health intelligence to the next level."[croma+6]
US Availability and Future Outlook
While pre-orders have commenced globally, the Ultrahuman Ring PRO will not be available in the United States at launch.This exclusion is due to an ongoing patent dispute with Oura.Ultrahuman has redesigned the Ring PRO to address the patent issues and has submitted the new design for clearance with US Customs and Border Protection.The company hopes to bring the ring to the US market in the future, pending regulatory approval.[tomsguide+11]
The launch of the Ultrahuman Ring PRO with its extended battery life, advanced health tracking, and integrated AI platform marks a significant step in the smart wearable market, offering comprehensive health monitoring for users worldwide.
