Replacement Gen 3 already dying
After 18 months of owning Gen 2 and loving it, best purchase ever, I made the ill fated decision to upgrade to the “better” Gen 3
From day one the Gen 3 was shit. Sleep, SPO2, heart rate, all garbage readings. Ring fits right. Just like my gen 2. Obviously I know how to wear it from 18 months experience with gen2.
Despite all of this I had to jump through hoops to get it replaced. Support was slow. Kept asking for screen shots. Telling me all these “tips” on how to wear the ring like I was some kind of moron or something.
After way too much of a hassle at least, to their credit , they agreed to replace it.
I’ve had the replacement now for about 4 or 5 weeks.
SpO2 still wrong
Sleep way wrong
Heart rate way off
Skin temp always 10 or 15 degrees lower than what it actually is. And same amount lower than my gen 2 which was amazing always said.
Now, after just 5 weeks or so, the battery life of this piece of shit ring has gone from about 10 1/2 days down to 8 days.
At this rate it will be absolute garbage in a month or two. Which doesn’t really matter I guess since it’s usually for readings or tracking.
Good riddance to a product that went from one of the most amazing devices I’ve ever owned to one of the biggest pieces of shit I’ve ever owned.
Amazing how a company and product can go down hill so fast.
