I honestly might think about getting this because like you said having both devices monitoring is great, plus a ring vs a watch wearing it at night is a huge plus!
I understand that sleeping with a ring might be more confortable. But the idea of buying a smart ring just not to sleep with my apple watch is not enough appealing to me. It doesn t bother me that much and I find the apple watch also useful to wake me up in the morning by vibrating, to have a flashlight at my wrist while going to pee at night. I'm interested but right now I don t really see a benefit to having both. I will look closely at what Samsung and other big compagnies release, and probably wait the ring Apple will do.
Thanks for the video. I had an oura ring, and it was great. Customer service was great. I wanted to get another one, but I didn't want to pay for a subscription and not a big watch fan.
Just moved from an Ultraring Air to a Oura gen 3 ring. Sleep tracking, and therefore recovery, were way out on the Ultraring. Always overestimating by a considerable margin compared to every other device I own and, more importantly, how well recovered I actually feel. I used the Whoop 4.0 for a while and the data matched how I felt very well, Oura is, almost, as good so I will be stopping my Whoop subscription. Ultraring are also now looking at power plug, some of which have a monthly subscription, which may be an early indication of future travel for the company.
great observations. I've been wearing an Apple watch for years too, and I got the Ultrahuman Air mostly because I wanted something less obtrusive for sleep data (that and I'm geeky that way). Today is only my second day wearing it and it totally agree with your comments about the caffeine window. Just tell me when it's gong to open!! But the ring is super comfortable and gives really interesting data. Tonight I'm going to take off the watch and see what the ring tells me on its own.
I decided to take an intensive 72-hour course on smart rings and I think I've finally made up my mind thanks to your video. Thank you for your honesty and interesting details. I hope I can get an ULTRAHUMAN, it is an investment that I am willing to make to take better care of my health. Thank you again.
I did not want an Ultrahuman Ring Air, at first, and then... they contacted me and sent me a sample. I cannot wait for the integration with my COROS Pace 3!
Interesting video. I think though that there is a moment in time when we have to consider whether we are overthinking all this "now I am allowed" thing, and precise calories in vs out could develop into an obsession. Bodies are not algorithms on machines, so flexibility and human interpretation are critical in self-management. These things are a useful reassurance and a prop, but are not what life should be about. Thanks for this very helpful examination of the qualities of this product.
I'm a bit late to the party on this video but thanks for the insights, they're very much how I would use it (the sleep metrics mostly). Appreciate the insights and thoughts as they're all very similar to how I would evaluate something like this.
I’d love to see a comparison between sleep and exercise data between the ring and the Apple Watch. That would be a very valuable video. Thanks for the hard work.
Does the Ring save some data if i'm too far away from my phone? Can it save data from some hours or does it need to be in proximity of my phone always? Great review!
That was my question as well. Ultrahuman says it can store data as long as it holds battery. So I went a full weekend away from my phone and when I opened up the app again it synced everything from the weekend!
IMO any wearable devices suck at tracking calories/workout(as of the state of tech now, inaccurate). I wouldn’t worry too much about fitness activities - especially for weight lifters
How accurate is the HR , and is there any activity to apply to make HR more Accurate like garmin watch need to enter an activity to give more power to the HR sensors to give u more accurate results. Is the ring give accurate HR in high intensity workout , real-time without applying any activity like other watch.
They do have workouts in beta, so you can start an activity like running and it will track your run and hr and all that. Just need the phone near you for that.
Appreciate the detailed review. I really want a smart ring and was waiting for Samsung's to debut, but every article about it is pointing to an Oura-style subscription, meaning I'm completely uninterested. Holding off for a few more weeks but if the subscription is confirmed, I'm going Ultrahuman same-day, lol.
Yes, it is awesome. I am wearing my Ring Air now and... yes, Day 230 will arriving soon. I am interesting to see what else Ultrahuman gives us Users as it relates to health feedback. Nice video, Spencer.
We should geek out on CGMs sometime. I think they’re a fantastic tool to see how foods affect blood sugar and insulin. You’ll be amazed at how even “healthy” foods can impact your blood sugar. The good news about workout data and diet is that fitness trackers are notoriously bad about getting caloric burn wrong. So you’re not using false data to increase your caloric intake. Sounds like an amazing ring!
Thanks so much for this! You had me at "no notifications"....I have a very slow sleep hr, and the apple watch would wake me up to tell me so! Also thanks for talking about which finger... very important to think about before buying, and I couldn't find this elsewhere.
I’ve had mine for a week now. Nothing but problems. The sleep tracking tells me I get 3-4 hours of sleep when I really get 7-8. Wake up once for the bathroom and it thinks I’m awake. Step counting is 3,000-4,000 behind my Apple Watch.
I was watching an oura video, about how the rings detect light nonrem sleep, and it sort of guesses and uses machine learning, as physiologically theres actually not a lot of indicators between light sleep and wakefulness. I think correcting results helps it to learn. If ur experiencing a lot of light sleep though u may have apnea or some mental health conditions can effect cycles too. Vitamin D good to get tested while at Drs. Hope this helps
@@hypnoticlizard9693 oh right, im seeing more n more that theyre going subscription anyway, which is no go for me! Did they mention anything about that in the announcement?
Actually, I haven't and I don't want to at the moment. Why? Behind Oura ring is a decade of research, while ultrahuman, ringconns, circular, etc. copied Oura patents and lawsuits are currently pending against Ultrahuman and others. I'm not saying that there won't be quality products in the future, but companies that wait for the patent rights of the leader (Oura in this case) to expire and then all of the above and many others start mass production in order to make a quick profit... that's not for me a company I want to support or buy such a product. That's why I will always support quality, consistency and innovation, even if I pay more than for a mediocre or even better quality copy. And yeah, I hate subscriptions but 2 coffees a day cost me like a Oura monthly subscription, so it’s not much of a big deal.
If you’re already wearing an Apple Watch, garmin, or other smart watch and are keeping the phone in your pocket is it really much different? You’re exposed non stop by your vehicle, your friends, anyone your walking pass in a store or gym etc… we are saturated by signals non stop.
I bought the Ultrahuman Air Ring. I cannot recommend it to anyone in Europe. Insane problems with an incorrect amount on the customs invoice. It cost me hours of my time, which I would have preferred to spend differently. Absolutely bad buying experience. If I could turn back time, I would not make the purchase. I am also very disappointed with their support.

Interesting. Yeah I think they are having to pick up paid power plugs for data partner use. As far as I can tell all proprietary plugs are free

Got one because I started using traditional watches instead of smart watches
Likewise! It’s a great pairing!
Same here

For sure! Interested to hear more about Samsung ring as well!
waiting on my ring size kit today then will be ordering off your link, any idea how long it takes to arrive
Mine have actually been really quick! Like within a week. Idk if that’s the same for everyone!
Does it obstruct while working out in a gym using dumbbell or barbells?
Yes. Like any other ring. Idk if wearing at the gym would be a good idea
Bought Ultrahuman Air under 2 weeks ago, love it.,
Very tired of notifications also, annoying. (Apple 8)
Awesome! Love mine!
Yes, it is awesome. I am wearing my Ring Air now and... yes, Day 230 will arriving soon. I am interesting to see what else Ultrahuman gives us Users as it relates to health feedback. Nice video, Spencer.
Thanks Peter! Just published my M1 review. Saw you made one as well! I really like working with this brand!
can you make payments with it?
You can not!

I kinda want to try one. I'm not a super healthy person by any means whatsoever lol
How did you find it with tracking auto detected naps 💤 buddy 👍
That part is actually really cool. Adds back some sleep score when you nap. Does a good job detecting!
@@SpencerScottPugh Nice one 1️⃣. Cheers for the info ℹ️ buddy 👍👍
Why is that box so big?
🤷🏼♂️

Awesome! Glad I could help, Lynda. If you get one, I think you're going to LOVE IT! I appreciate you watching my video!
Great value dude, thank you!
Of course! 🙌🏻
You can switch off the notification function on your Apple watch.
Correct!
You can at least report Oura that you found a ring with a QR code on the inner side of the ring if you want
I tried to scan it and my phone wouldn’t pick it up! It was too scratched up! Thanks for the tip though. I thought that’s what that might be for!
I’ve had mine for a week now. Nothing but problems. The sleep tracking tells me I get 3-4 hours of sleep when I really get 7-8. Wake up once for the bathroom and it thinks I’m awake.
Step counting is 3,000-4,000 behind my Apple Watch.
Heart rate tracking is also off (on the low side), when doing exercise at least. I wouldn't use a ring while exercising, but still...
Might be defective? Reach out to them. Great customer service!

As in new products will a new ring be coming out in June or July??
That is a great question. All I am currently aware of is their Ultrahuman Home device which will be launching around that time!
Samsung Galaxy Ring
Can it sync with the Google fit?
Yes!
Hi does it have nfc payment?
It does not!
The samsung will though, an probably the apple ring too
@@brandonchappell1535 Samsung announced the ring officially and it doesnt have nfc, and galaxy phones only.

100% right they all have no studys and all oura shows then on paper.. they hide nothing.
what about the radiations that bluetooth emits ,isnt it harmful?
Thats not a thing so dont worry your body is resistant to a certain amount of radiation anyways
