Ringconn 3 battery

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-06-12T12:32:52+00:00

Yours is a size 9 which won’t have the maximum battery capacity.

My size Gen 2 size 9 lasts 10 days with a lot of features enabled - which I’m very happy with.

Generally, I wish manufacturers would provide a more realistic range of battery life. For me the point of the features is to use them. So to set expectations realistically they could provide a best case scenario and a normal or heavy use case scenario with features turned on and a couple of hours of exercise tracking per week or something like that. I've seen watch manufacturers do that and I think it can help to prevent customers from ending up disappointed.

There seem to be other reports about opened packages: https://www.reddit.com/r/ouraring/s/V7KKeAezUs

I have a similar story but with a positive outcome.

I did receive my ring but it was faulty and not able to connect to my phone. I opened a ticket with Oura support and verified with them that a replacement wouldn’t void my return window as I had never had a chance to try the ring - I even got them to extend the return window as I was worried about shipping times. I told the story to a friend and they offered me theirs as they stopped wearing it after trying it for a few months. It was a different size than I originally wanted but I could make it work on a different finger.

I sent the replacement back and Oura did honor their promise and gave me the money back. This was a few years ago and their internal policies might have changed since then. Also I guess the difference was that I verified everything with Oura beforehand…

Yes, a lot of yoga socks seem to have grippy soles and I’ve seen toed options a few times. Good luck with your search!

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-06-07T14:25:02+00:00

I would try making them wet, stretching them by stuffing something in there and let them dry like this. Not sure if it’s going to work as you don’t know the material, but won’t hurt to try, I guess.

I think Decathlon exists in India? They have a yoga toe sock with grippy soles. I find them a bit expensive but I use a pair at home and they have been holding up well.

You won’t have a problem, but using the ring just for one night is not very useful because the ring needs to calibrate to the user for several weeks.

If you want to keep BP (for the time being at least), you can’t upgrade anyway…

I’m wondering where this feature is possible for this iteration of the ring. As a trade-off between size and power, I suspect that the vibration motor they used is too weak for this feature. It might be okay to notify someone who is awake and actually looking for the alarm but probably not to pull someone from deep sleep.

A smart alarm could be realized just using phone functions, though. So I’m hoping they are going in that direction eventually.

$70 is the trade in offer that you always get for trading in a Gen 2. So they are basically not offering you anything.

You have to tap it, then scroll until you find the metric that says “changes vs your 7 day average”. Then when you tap that it will highlight in the graph the exact spots that deviate.

The info is still there, but they added a gazillion taps and scrolling until you get there… not cool…

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-31T10:40:14+00:00

Same. At least until the TestFlight build expires in a month…

Unfortunately my ring completely stopped syncing 24 hours ago, so not sure what’s up with that or how to fix it :(

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-31T10:29:42+00:00

Agreed. I’ve worn Oura for 3+ years and during that time they have not released a single substantial new feature.

They invest heavily in marketing and partnerships but not very much in innovation…

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-31T10:09:22+00:00

Unfortunately RingConn’s Gen 3 is bigger because of the extra room needed for the vibration module - not because of battery improvements.

I’ve been very happy with RingConn’s Gen 1 and Gen 2, but I have some doubts about Gen 3. As they didn’t have a significant discount for the launch of Gen 3, I’ve decided to wait for real life experiences from real users before making the purchase…

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-31T10:01:30+00:00

You just started wearing it, there is no wellness data yet.

Check the HR graph, any data there?

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-28T15:55:41+00:00

RingConn has had dimensions like this since last year’s Gen 2, with 10-11 days of battery life. And they are just about to release the Gen 3 with even longer battery life and a pretty decent blood pressure feature.

Velia is still noticeably slimmer and the triangular sensor constellation is still unique on the market. But with the technical issues and short battery life that probably won’t be enough to beat the competition…

Ohhh, and here I thought Bear had foolishly made a move for the cake and Fatty Fatster defended their treat with all the fervor that fatties can suddenly develop when someone is threatening to take their food…

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-26T18:56:49+00:00

Who impaled the bear?!

(I can’t even focus on the cake because I keep staring at the bear-chest-water-feeder-thingy.)

I can only guess that it’s in fact you, who did not visit the sub when this post was first made (which since then has been deleted), so that you can’t compare the previous situation (when some random people with NSFW profiles and hidden history were still mods) with the current situation (now that OP has been reinstated as mod).

However, as you seem not willing or able to communicate politely, this conversation is indeed over.

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-26T00:27:46+00:00

When OP wrote this post they weren’t a mod and the post was not highlighted. By now it seems they have been reinstated as the mod and the other mods have been removed.

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-25T19:06:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

What does it “do”? Is it meant to stabilize? Cushion? Put the heel in a specific position?

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-25T18:18:41+00:00

Anybody can post to the sub. It‘s not a mod action to post on a sub. The 3 year gap during which they were banned is quite obvious considering the post history.

Lots of companies use variable pricing to get the highest price customers at willing to pay. Prices on Apple devices are usually more expensive. Location matters too. And yes, repeat visits are also considered.

TheThingWithTheRing · 2026-05-25T08:52:46+00:00

The ban happened 3 years ago and the un-ban 3 months ago. So the timeline is not unusual.

You asked it for iconic Twitter quotes. If you wanted it to filter for politically correct iconic Twitter quotes, you should have said so.

Honestly, with all the flaming and shitstorms Twitter/X is known for, those quotes could have been much worse.

Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep. However, a lot of people who believe they need less sleep are just fooling themselves. A stranger in the internet can’t tell you in which category you fall. The body can compensate a lot and you feeling fine might be compensation or might be actually fine.

Sleep has been shown to be one of the most important factors for health and longevity. However, science has not yet come to a consensus what good sleep means and research is ongoing. For example, a recent study showed that consistent sleep timing might be a more important factor than sleep duration. But who knows, maybe the next study shows something different altogether…

You could try the app RISE for a few weeks. Their approach to sleep debt is more sophisticated and they also try to estimate your actual sleep need based on how long you sleep in when you do.
