r/RingConn

Another battery testimonial plus a question …

After a year (give or take a week), I noticed Gen 2 battery life was degrading significantly. Just like everyone else.

I reached out to RingConn and they are replacing free of charge with another Gen 2. Just like everyone else.

(Kudos to RingConn for this!)

But … where does that put us all a year from now? I imagine in the same place. Should we be satisfied with 2 years (even though we needed two rings to get it), and ready to pay for an upgrade to a long-in-the-tooth Gen 3 (which should be showing us by then if it has the same issue) with Gen 4 probably not far around the corner? Or, should we still be expecting consideration from RingConn for the defect in Gen 2?

Preordered Gen 3 - Colour Question (Rose Gold)

Hi all! I preordered my Gen 3, and having been between the gold and brushed rose gold I went with the rose gold. This is my first ringconn (coming from UH) and I’m wondering if I can get past experiences on the brushed finishes or if anyone has seen early reviews showing the rose gold in person? I am trying to tell what tone of rose gold it is but struggling!

Other than that, I believe I have 14 days from ding arrival to change if the colour isn’t what I want, right?

Daily chores as exercise

Without fail, my ring thinks I’m exercising every time I fold/put away laundry 🤣 Anyone else? I’m not mad about it, just find it mildly entertaining and proof that doing random things around the house is good for my health.

Ringconn 2 for cycle tracking?

So, I’m getting a hysterectomy soon but will be keeping my ovaries so I will still have a hormonal cycle but won’t bleed. I have always liked tracking my cycle as I have Pmdd and endometriosis and other health issues that my cycle affects but it will be hard to track when I don’t bleed. I was looking at getting the oura ring but found the ringconn and it’s cheaper.

What had been your experience with the cycle tracking?

I am also mildly interested in the other features especially sleep tracking as I have UARS (similar to sleep apnea).

Hi everyone question for those who have apple watches and the ring do you wear both or just the ring?
I’ve been wearing the ring for a while now but I’m debating on wearing my watch again.

Need help with size! D:

ok so I cant decide between size 9 and 10 for the gen 3. So I wanted to ask for advice and opinions since this will be my very first smart ring or like ring overall!

Size 9:
- 90% of the time comfortable, but cannot take it off because my knuckles are too thick - with some soap it comes off easily. Also I dont feel any discomfort in the morning, its pretty snug and just "hurts" when I try to take it off with force.

Size 10:
- Also pretty comfortable but feels a bit too big. I can take it off with little resistance and rarely I need soap (only when hands are sweaty and swollen).

What do you guys think?

Fewer Exercise Options With New Update?

My app updated today and I’m only seeing 7 exercise options now. Is this the case for everyone? I just want a place to log my weightlifting and core training sessions, not necessarily get accurate calorie information.

Stress While Sleeping

On average, 6 out 7 days a week, I’m waking up to see that I’m having high stress events while I’m sleeping. It’s always just one single event, and usually in the hour or two after I’ve gone to bed. Nothing is waking me up and I’m just sleeping comfortably as far as I can tell. Anyone else have this happen, or any intel as to why?

Weekly reports

I can’t figure out where the weekly reports are in the new app. Anyone have any idea? There is a similar symbol in the health tab but it leads you to trends instead. Did they remove this feature?

Just curious..

Anyone else going from a RingConn to a Fitbit Air??

I have a RingConn gen 2 and it’s been fine but I did find it uncomfortable at times. Especially in the warmer temps when my hand swells

Currently have the Fitbit Air preordered and I’m excited. Will only be using it for sleep tracking like I was using the RingConn

App update

Not sure how I feel about the new app update. It frozen twice on me after updating and feels very childlike.

Size Accuracy

How accurate is the sizing kit for gen 3? I tried size 10 on gen 2 and it was perfect. However for gen 3,I tried the sizing kit. Size 9 is abit tight on my index, unable to fit on middle and somewhat perfect on my ring. Whereas, the size 10 is abit loose on my index, perfect on my middle.

I will be primarily wearing on my index. Which should I go for? And will the actual ring be a little bit bigger than the plastic sizing kit?

Contemplating RingConn Gen 3 / Warranty Questions

Hi! I’ve been a long time FitBit user and I’m contemplating switching to a smart ring; mainly think that a ring would look more sleek and professional than a digital watch. I’m drawn to RingConn because of the lack of monthly subscription fee to get my health data compared to other smart rings, and I saw that the newest generation just launched pre-sale.

After doing some research around RingConn and the existing older generation rings, I’ve seen multiple troubling comments surrounding diminished battery life and potential “death” of the ring. I saw that I can purchase a 2 or 3 year warranty, but I’m not certain it’s worth it to buy and whether battery defects even fall under the warranty policy.

For existing customers (or anyone really) who is familiar with the company and these issues / has had experience with the smart ring battery and warranty processing, could you please share more insight. Thanks!

stolen ring

so im absolutely gutted, my ring was stolen from my car, they must have assumed it was a wedding band or something because it’s genuinely useless for someone to steal this. Anyways I go to the app to track it and the last location is at my home but i was wearing my ring for a solid 40 minutes after the last recording. It says the location is logged every 15 minutes when connected to the app but what does that mean? because at its last logged location i didn’t click the app so surley that means it doesn’t need to be open which means the location isn’t dependent on whether the app is open or not if that makes sense. I’m pretty sure it was stolen in my car so I will know 100% if it was there before I left for my shift and reconnected when I entered my car after my shift because that would have connected to my bluetooth. Maybe i’m wrong about this so any help would be appreciated. Also what are the chances they would replace this ring for me?

Battery problem... class action?

I heard many people posting about the battery being really crappy this last few days and now I know I'm not the only one.

And I also see from other posts that reporting to rinconn is no use (if your warranty already expire). Its either from a new firmware, gen3 just dropped, or warranty just expired, etc.

Im wondering if we can report it as a group, they would take more action?

Im sure they can do something about it but they just won't if not enough people are upset.

What do you think?

Im really not up for buying a new one and I want them to do something about it rather than just saying "buy a new one then"
