Are you ready to take your fitness tracking to the next level? If the Oura Ring isn’t quite the right fit for you, then the Ultrahuman Ring Air might be the perfect alternative. This sleek and innovative smart ring is a runner-up in the smart ring race, consistently sought after by ZDNET readers month after month. In fact, it even claimed the top spot in June.
In my review of the Ultrahuman Ring Air, I likened it to the Silicon Valley-based, Bitcoin-mining neighbor who drinks Soylent, in comparison to the girl-next-door feel of the Oura Ring. This ring is tailored for fitness obsessives, monitoring activity, sleep, and recovery. It boasts a comfortable and durable design that won’t tarnish easily or interfere with your daily tasks.
One standout feature of the Ultrahuman Ring Air is its personalized notifications. During or after your workout, it provides insightful reminders like when to delay caffeine consumption for optimal performance and recovery tips to help you bounce back from intense exercise.
The ring’s app goes beyond basic tracking, allowing you to document your diet and offering AI insights into your nutritional choices. While the data may seem overwhelming to some, those dedicated to optimizing their fitness goals will find the information invaluable. The app also includes a Discover tab with guided workouts for various exercises and the ability to sync data from other workout apps.
With a battery life comparable to the Oura Ring and a scratch-resistant design, the Ultrahuman Ring Air is a solid choice for health-conscious individuals focused on enhancing their workout and recovery routines. Unlike some competitors, this ring doesn’t come with a monthly subscription fee, making it a cost-effective option.
Redditors have praised the Ultrahuman Ring Air for its performance, with some noting that while it may not match the capabilities of smartwatches or chest straps for fitness tracking, its dedication to user feedback and improvement sets it apart. Founder Mohit Kumar’s active participation in engaging with users further highlights the brand’s commitment to excellence.
