ULTRAHUMANRing AIR - Sleep & Fitness Tracker, FSA-Approved Wearable, Smart Ring for Women & Men, No App Fee for Standard Features (Size 8)

I invested in this product knowing this was a young company. I am excited to see what all they develop as they go with this product. People I know had already purchased from l 2 different competing companies so my husband and I decided to try this one. The ring has various sizes and colors. The titanium definitely gets scratches but they are subtle and it was also expected considering other’s experiences even with rings from other companies. My husband has the matte grey and it doesn’t seem to have a scratch yet. I also highly recommend the ring sizer first! The ring is waterproof which is cool for various activities. Personally I don’t care to wear it in the shower or to wash my hands but in the pool yes. I have to charge about every 5 days which is better than my watch. May not be as good as some other brands but I don’t have to pay a subscription for my insights. So if I have to take 1 hour out of my week to charge my ring so be it. It doesn’t take long to charge. It’s better than every night like my watch which I wear in conjunction with the ring. Also more comfortable to wear at night. I don’t notice it at night like I have my watch when I’ve fallen asleep with it.I appreciate the functionality. The insights and the fact it works with apple health and other apps like fatsecret. The AFib detection is still pending in the US which sucks and there will be a small monthly fee for the use of that feature once it becomes available but you don’t have to have it. It has several power plugs that can be used such as menstrual cycle, caffeine window, circadian rhythm, and some others that are free. It seems fairly accurate from what I can tell, such as the heart rate. The step counter not so much but I use my watch for that. Also the more I wear it the more it learns about me and the better the insights become. I’ve attached several pictures and each power plug you can click on and most of them go more in depth but I just left it to the simple stuff for this review. I hope this helps. As I have mentioned, my husband also has an ULTRAHUMAN ring so we were able to connect using our ULTRAHUMAN APP using zones and keep each other in check. I named mine I Don’t Know because I literally didn’t know what I was getting into at the time. But it makes it more competitive.

LOVE IT!I am a bit of a fitness freak. I run, cycle, do pilates, lift, and take barre. I wanted a smart ring because my apple watch wasnt giving me detailed enough analytics, and tracking my sleep was hard with its limited battery life.I am literally obsessed with this ring. I only need to charge it every couple of days depending on use, and it does a great job of tracking vitals in a more detailed and accurate way than my watch.I paid for this with my HSA account and definitely feel like I have gotten my money worth! I suggest doing the sizing kit first, the ring fits a little weird and i got a different size for it than my usual rings.The ring is also waterproof (thus far!). I have showered and swam in chlorine as well as saltwater without any problems.I got silver because i mostly wear silver jewelry, and its holding up well! There are definitely some small scrapes/scratches, but i am not surprised since I wear it for HIIT cycling classes which involve a bit of banging the ring around. However no major cracks/dings/break has occurred. It is definitely visually bulky, but honestly not as obnoxious as I feared.I suggest this to anyone who wants slightly more detailed health analytics on a device with a longer battery life.

The experience so farRating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)Verdict: Ambitious and data-rich, but still feels like a beta product.The Ultrahuman Ring AIR is a sleek, health-focused wearable that offers impressive insights and a visually premium app experience. But while it sounds like the perfect fitness and recovery tracker on paper, real-world performance exposes its inconsistencies, quirks, and growing pains.⸻✅ What It Does Well• Extremely detailed health data: It tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep, recovery, and more—and explains each metric clearly. It’s not just data-heavy, it’s educational too.• No subscription required (unless you want extras): Unlike Oura or others, you get full access to your health data right out of the box. Ultrahuman’s optional “Power Plugs” (a.k.a. add-ons) cost $2–$4/month depending on the feature and offer deeper insights without being essential.• FSA/HSA eligible: If you’ve got leftover HSA/FSA funds, this is a good end-of-year purchase. You can even use those funds on monthly Power Plug subscriptions.• Well-designed app: The interface feels high-end and becomes intuitive after a few days. Charts, graphs, and summaries look great and are easy to follow.• Quick charging & useful warranty support: I typically charge it while showering in the morning. When my partner’s ring began dying within 2–3 hours, Ultrahuman replaced it quickly—though it’s unclear if that was thanks to the protection plan or internal diagnostics they ran that determined the replacement was needed.• UltrahumanX protection plan is fair: It covers lost rings, battery failure, and even resizing if you lose weight. Worth it only if you get the ring on sale (we paid $230 each with stacked discounts—very fair compared to MSRP).⸻⚠️ Where It Falls Short• Accuracy concerns: I’ve seen heart rate spikes to 172 bpm while sitting, even though my Apple Watch showed a steady 67. Step count is wildly inflated during non-walking workouts like rowing—Apple logged 50 steps, while the ring claimed over 1,000.• Unreliable sleep tracking: Waking up briefly can reset your sleep record, and some nights it reports only 2 hours of sleep when I clearly got 7+. This skews recovery scores into the red zone, making the insights less useful.• Battery life isn’t as promised: Ultrahuman advertises 4-6 days—but I consistently get 2–3 and half days unless I enable “Critical Power” mode. Even the in-app battery test is misleading—it assumes the length because of trickle charging it daily, which defeats the purpose of true 6-day battery life off one charge.• Power modes are poorly optimized: “Turbo,” “Chill,” and “Critical Power” sound great—but switching between them takes over a minute. Chill mode only disables one feature and barely extends battery life, while Critical Power mode helps significantly but cuts off most functions.• Slow syncing: Syncing data often takes 5+ minutes, even when the ring is connected via Bluetooth. Sometimes it’s immediate, other times painfully slow. The app’s troubleshooting suggestions (“restart phone,” “turn off Bluetooth”) feel like filler rather than real diagnostics.• Too many notifications: Even on the lowest setting, I get 3–6 alerts every 45 minutes—way more than my smart watches, which average 1-3 every few hours. (These are health notifications, like the “stand up your sitting too long” or “check how close you are at closing your health rings”)• Material feels questionable: Marketed as titanium, but the ring is very lightweight and makes a plastic-like sound when dropped—not what I’d expect from metal. Especially when you compare it with an actual ring, I was expecting a little more heft to it.• Platform inconsistencies: Some features behave differently depending on the OS. For example, Android shows the last known location with an address for “Find My Ring,” while iOS does not.⸻🤔 Other Notes & Suggestions• Feels like an early beta: Ultrahuman sent an email thanking me for being an early adopter—which confirms what the experience already suggests: this is a version 1.0 product still working out kinks.• Basic diagnostics: Battery and syncing diagnostics in the app feel underdeveloped. They don’t offer deep troubleshooting—just basic “restart” suggestions.• App needs customization: I only have the ring, so it’s annoying to see tabs for other Ultrahuman products I don’t own. I’d love the ability to customize the dock to just show “Ring,” “Profile,” and “Zones.”• Power Plug layout is clunky: Some insights with limited value (like “You’re a consistent sleeper”) take up large card space, while more important metrics are squeezed into small strips. Being able to resize or pin these like widgets would drastically improve usability.⸻💬 Final ThoughtsThe Ultrahuman Ring AIR shows promise—it’s attractive, feature-rich, and offers meaningful health data for people who want to understand their body better. But right now, it feels like a work-in-progress. Syncing delays, battery inconsistency, and unreliable tracking make it hard to fully trust.If you catch it on sale (and maybe use an HSA/FSA account), it’s a worthwhile experiment—especially if you value form factor over full smartwatch capabilities. But if you’re looking for something polished, dependable, and accurate out of the box, you might want to wait for a new ring air version 2.0 or a few more software updates.
