RingConn has launched its latest smart ring, and it’s going straight after Samsung with one standout claim: battery life that’s double that of the Galaxy Ring.
The new RingConn Gen 3 lasts up to 14 days on a single charge (with the caveat that haptics are turned off) compared to the seven-day estimate on Samsung’s Galaxy Ring. That alone makes it one of the longer-lasting smart rings currently on the market, and appeals to users who don’t want another device to charge every few days.
Battery aside, RingConn is also leaning further into health tracking. The Gen 3 focuses on vascular health insights, alongside features like sleep tracking and sleep apnea monitoring. There’s also a planned blood pressure tracking feature, but it’s not available at launch and will instead arrive in a future update. As expected, it’s positioned as a trend-tracking tool rather than a medical-grade replacement.
One of the more unusual additions is a built-in vibration module, something you don’t typically see in smart rings. It can deliver haptic alerts for things like health reminders or low-battery warnings, but it notably doesn’t support notifications for messages or apps, which limits its usefulness somewhat.
In terms of design, the Gen 3 remains lightweight, at 2.5-3.5g, depending on size, putting it roughly in line with Samsung’s alternative. It’s available in sizes 6 through 15 and comes in five colour options, with support for both iOS and Android via the companion app. There’s also no subscription fee for accessing health data, which could be a draw for users put off by ongoing costs.
Pricing starts at $349. However, a pre-order discount drops it to $314 (or $332 for premium finishes) until May 28, 2026.
On paper, the RingConn Gen 3 looks like a serious alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy Ring, particularly if battery life is high on your priority list.
