The Ultrahuman Ring PRO has returned to the US, and it makes all other smart rings seem overpriced.

      The subscription-free smart ring has returned to the US, with the first 1,000 purchasers receiving a $130 discount.

      After some time away from the American market due to a patent infringement dispute, Ultrahuman has successfully passed US Customs and Border Protection and is now available for purchase in the country.

      This is great news for US consumers, as Ultrahuman is among the few smart rings that provides full access to tracking data without necessitating a subscription. Moreover, if you’re one of the initial buyers, you can take advantage of a significant price reduction.

      What makes the Ring PRO stand out?

      Let's begin with the battery lifespan. The Ring PRO can last up to 15 days on a single charge. When paired with the new PRO Charging Case, that extends to a remarkable 45 days. This is not an error; you could go a month and a half without needing to recharge.

      The ring is crafted from a titanium unibody and operates on a dual-core processor with integrated machine learning for enhanced health insights. It can store up to 250 days of health data directly on the device, allowing you to remain untethered from your phone.

      Additional noteworthy features include water resistance up to 100 meters (328 feet), a "find my case" function, and wireless charging for the case, among other functionalities.

      For those wanting more capabilities, optional PowerPlugs add medical-grade features such as AFib detection—the first of its kind for a smart ring—ovulation tracking with over 90% accuracy, snoring analysis, and monitoring for GLP-1 medications.

      Is there a need for a subscription?

      No, and that’s the best part. Unlike its competitors, Ultrahuman does not restrict essential health tracking features behind a monthly subscription fee. Data on sleep, recovery, stress, and movement is all available for free.

      Is there a special introductory price?

      To enhance the appeal of the launch, Ultrahuman is providing an early bird price starting at $349 for the first 1,000 orders, which includes both the Ring PRO and the PRO Charging Case.

      This is a $130 discount from the standard bundle price of $479. The price will increase as the limited quantities are sold, so it’s advisable to act quickly. Pre-orders start tomorrow morning, with shipping expected to begin on May 15.

      Pixel Watch update issues may be distorting your daily activity data

      Users report discrepancies with steps and calories being overcounted, while other metrics seem to vanish.

      The latest Pixel Watch update issues are starting to interfere with daily activity tracking, and it’s more than just a minor inconvenience. Some users have indicated that step counts and calorie data are no longer accurate following the latest software release, complicating their ability to interpret the information from the watch.
