iHeal Ring 4: Smart ring comes with charging case, supposedly allowing for 60 days of runtime

Kospet is now offering a new smart ring, the Ring 4, which does not offer anything fundamentally new in regard to the measurement of various health parameters. But it does come with a special charging solution, which is not just a charging stand like the Blaupunkt smart ring we recently tried out, but also contains a rechargeable battery. The ring itself is said to last up to 10 days. Together with the charging case, the ring can then be recharged five times, so a total runtime of 60 days is possible. The charging case is equipped with a charge level indicator.

The ring, which weighs around 4.5 grams, is only a sensor and cannot, for example, be used to control the camera of a smartphone. According to Kospet, the heart rate can be continuously monitored - such a function is becoming common on smartphones and can also be used during sporting activities. This makes it possible to quantify the exertion experienced during sports sessions. Blood oxygen saturation is also on board, as is the recording of sleep duration and sleep quality. Another feature is the acceleration sensor, which can be used to record the number of steps taken and analyze everyday activity. 

The official price is said to be $169, but the Ring 4 will be offered at a price of just under $80 in June. It can be assumed that the higher price is simply part of a marketing strategy and will not be set as the actual price in the future.
