New titanium smart ring launches with ECG, sleep and stress tracking

Rogbid has launched the VitalRing, a $129.99 titanium smart ring with electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. The ring measures 8mm wide and weighs about 5g, and Rogbid has designed it for round-the-clock wear.

The VitalRing uses a set of electrodes to take ECG readings and also tracks heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), heart rate variability, body temperature, stress levels, and women's health data. Its sleep tracking records when the wearer falls asleep and splits the night into deep, light, and REM stages. Activity tracking covers steps, distance, and calories burned.

A remote care feature lets wearers share selected health metrics with family members. The ring supports gesture controls for triggering a paired smartphone's camera, and its 5ATM water resistance rating covers swimming. Rogbid ships the VitalRing with a charging case that holds a 400mAh battery. The launch announcement does not list the ring's own battery life.

The VitalRing is available now from Rogbid's online store in Aura Gold, Lunar Silver, and Obsidian Black, in sizes 8 to 13. For its Double 11 sale, Rogbid is adding a Christmas greeting card and a mystery gift box to every order, with the box holding either a smartwatch or a second smart ring. The ring joins Rogbid's titanium SR15, which launched at $99.99 earlier this year, and the SR15 Ultra, which adds a small built-in display.
