- Ultrahuman has launched the extremely anticipated Ring Professional for preorder with a worth of AU$739 in Australia
- It improves on battery life and heart-rate monitoring, however its charging case steals the present
- Singapore and New Zealand availability and worth TBC
Only a day after Ultrahuman’s CEO broke his silence on the brand new Oura-beating sensible ring, it went up for preorder in most main markets for $479 / £419 / AU$739. That makes the brand new Ultrahuman Ring Professional so much pricier than the $349 / £329 / AU$599 Ring Air, however the a number of enhancements its brings — together with the promised 15-day battery life — does appear to justify the premium.
It is the brand new charging case that steals that present for my part. Not solely does it prolong the sensible ring’s battery life to a staggering 45 days, it options an LED gentle that offers you a transparent visible indication of how a lot battery it nonetheless holds.
It even has sufficient onboard storage to save lots of a yr’s price of well being knowledge from the Ring Professional. It’ll additionally present haptic suggestions when delivering alerts. If that wasn’t sufficient, a built-in speaker will sound a small alarm while you activate the Discover My Case characteristic within the app.
It is nonetheless a bit of up within the air
One of many essential causes I like Ultrahuman is that you just get all of your key metrics with no subscription. There are just a few which might be locked behind a paywall, however most customers can get by with out paying for any of them. Furthermore, it performs nicely with iOS and Android.
All of the enhancements I’ve listed above are tempting me to improve from my Ultrahuman Ring Air — regardless of the Ring Professional’s excessive asking worth — and I am glad I am not primarily based within the US.
As an Australian, I can already pre-order the Ring Professional, however it’s as but unsure whether or not it is going to be in the stores within the US. It is availability in different APAC areas can be but to be confirmed.
The Ring Professional is the product named in Ultrahuman’s patent-infringement case in opposition to Oura, which it misplaced within the US, which means the corporate’s merchandise are banned from being imported into America and the Ring Air was pulled from cabinets final yr.
Maybe Ultrahuman has carried out its due diligence this time and the Ring Professional will quickly discover its strategy to US prospects, particularly because the Ring Air is without doubt one of the greatest sensible rings in the marketplace and I am hoping the Ring Professional will show simply pretty much as good.
