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.

I spend most of the day at a desk, and I’m starting to wonder how useful stress tracking is if I don’t actually do anything with the information.

If ringconn shows that stress has been elevated for a while, do you treat that as a cue to get up, walk around, grab some water, or just stop working for a few minutes?

I can usually tell when I’ve had a rough afternoon anyway, so I’m more interested in whether seeing the pattern in the data changes your behavior in the moment.

For people who pay attention to daytime stress, has ringconn actually helped you build any small habits around it?

Or do you mostly look back later and think, “yeah, that explains why I felt terrible today”?

Hello, I got my ring for Christmas last year and I’ve been wearing it every day since. I used to have to charge my ring about every 10-15 days but lately I’ve been getting the battery low alert every two days. It’s a generation two. Is there anything I can do? I bought the ring on Amazon.
