RingConn is a well-established manufacturer of smart rings that come without any additional subscription costs. The manufacturer is rolling out a new software update, version 3.11.0, that promises several upgrades and bug fixes. Users will now benefit from at improved, automatic workout recognition. In our opinion, this could be very useful for a smart ring – in the absence of dedicated controls, a workout can usually only be started via the app and not, as with a smartwatch, by pressing one or more buttons on the wearable itself. The changelog also advertises improved display of relevant parameters during a training session.
Furthermore, the changelog mentions various bugs fixes as well as improvements in stability. Malaysian is now also supported as a language. Blood pressure measurement via the smart ring has not yet been implemented, but progress is being made in this area: users can apply for a beta program, but should keep in mind that testing versions may be unstable. There is already discussion about the update on Reddit, where it is said that workout recognition works well at least in terms of time and jogging, but there is apparently still room for improvement in terms of distance.
