This smart ring is coming for Oura with two-week battery life

Source: Android Authority

Overview

Ultrahuman announced its newest smart ring, the Ultrahuman Ring PRO, the third‑generation device in the lineup, alongside a new AI platform called Jade. The Ring PRO offers a battery life of up to 15 days on a single charge, surpassing the latest offering from Oura.

Battery and Charging Case

A significant part of the battery story lies outside the ring itself. Ultrahuman is introducing a PRO Charging Case that:

• Extends total runtime by up to 45 days.
• Supports Qi wireless charging with a magnetic docking system that generates less heat than conventional wireless chargers.
• Stores large amounts of ring data and accelerates firmware updates through direct connectivity.
• Includes a built‑in speaker with proximity guidance to help locate the ring when misplaced.

Hardware Upgrades

• Materials: Titanium build available in Bionic Gold, Space Silver, Aster Black, and Raw Titanium.
• Heart‑rate sensor: Redesigned for improved accuracy, especially during sleep.
• Processor: New dual‑core processor for faster on‑device processing.
• Storage: Up to 250 days of health data can be stored locally, allowing continuous tracking even without frequent syncing.

AI Platform – Jade

Ultrahuman introduced Jade, an AI software layer that analyzes data across the company’s ecosystem. Jade combines ring metrics with information from Ultrahuman’s blood‑testing, glucose‑monitoring, and environmental products to surface recommendations and trigger features such as breathwork or heart‑rhythm alerts. The platform is rolling out globally as an update for existing users.

Legal Context and Availability

A recent U.S. patent ruling involving Oura Health limits Ultrahuman’s ability to import and sell rings domestically. Consequently, the Ring PRO will be available globally with pre‑orders opening now, but it will not launch in the United States.

Pricing and Release

• Price: $479 (includes the charging case).
• Comparison: Oura’s flagship ring costs $399, with an additional $99 for its charging case.
• Subscription: The Ultrahuman Ring PRO experience is subscription‑free.
• Shipments: Expected to begin in March.
