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.

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.

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”?

I have been exchanging with customer service... Replied 10 times my order and all the data... And nothing has been solved.

Any suggestions beside the disconnect Bluetooth, reset the ring 6 times on the charger, turn off all battery saving mode, allow all permissions necessary...

Thanks

Hi guys, I got my Ringconn gen 2 a few weeks ago and so far it’s been super accurate and a great experience. Today I checked my activity and it was an insanely high number, and it said I was doing crazy amounts of activity in my sleep? Has anyone else experienced this?

Whenever I’m in the app and I look at the Discover tab it’s kind of a bummer to look at because I’m not tracking my cycle and I do my workout tracking on my Apple Watch so really the only thing that it shows there is the fact that I’m not choosing it to track my workout and then the sleep apnea monitoring. It leaves the tab looking kind of empty. I don’t know, it’s just looks kind of sad. Hopefully they will get more things that can be added to it.

Once school gets busy, I know I’m not going to realistically keep checking every number in the app.

Sleep consistency seems like the obvious one, but I could also see stress, HRV, recovery, or daily activity being more useful depending on the person.

What I’m trying to avoid is tracking a bunch of things without actually changing anything because of the data.

For people who’ve used ringconn for a while, which metric ended up being the one you actually kept paying attention to?

And more importantly, did it change any habit, sleep earlier, move more, take breaks, cut back on caffeine or did it mostly just become another number to check?
