1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Smartwatches are cool, but they can be bulky, and battery life is an issue

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,639
that's so annoying to deal with. But luckily, Ringcon sponsored this video so

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,599
we could look at their new Gen 2 Air smart ring, which has great battery

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,359
life, great fitness tracking, and a low entry price point, and no monthly

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,000
subscription. I've been wearing the Gen 2 Air for a little bit now, and I have to say it's a pretty sleek design. I've

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,000
been wearing the Galaxy silver one for a couple weeks here, but I'm really

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:34,640
excited to see this one because it's the Dune Gold and I think gold suits me a

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:42,079
little bit better than the the silver and ooh that is coppery kind of rose

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,559
goldy. Very very Dune.

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,800
Listen, Algib. All right, but let's take a look

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:53,120
what's in the box here before I get too excited about the ring here. Right off the bat, we get our

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:59,520
documentation. Not exciting. And we have our charging cradle and included USBC to

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,840
C cable. Now, let's see how long this cable is. As one of the differences

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,600
between the Gen 2 and Gen 2 Air doesn't come with the charging case where it

15
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,159
actually carries a battery with it and has 150 days worth of charge in it. This

16
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:16,159
one you have to charge with the included cradle every single time you want to

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,799
charge the ring, which is kind of a bummer. The case was quite nice.

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:22,080
actually have it right here and it's a

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,759
really convenient way to charge your ring on the go or just not having to

20
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:29,280
worry about having it plugged in all the time. Though you don't have to worry about charging it very often is the

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,360
battery life is up to 10 days which is awesome and I found was pretty accurate.

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,520
I rarely had to charge which is almost nerve-wracking. It feels like you're

23
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:39,040
doing something wrong and that you should be charging but it truly just

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,960
lasts that long which is great. The cradle is also magnetic so you don't have to worry about it coming off or

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,439
anything like that and it just snaps on which is great. Taking a closer look at

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,119
the ring, we can see it is stainless steel, which again is a bit different

27
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,799
from the Gen 2, which is aerospace grade

28
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:58,640
titanium. This one is eco-friendly, earthly in its steel, but I think it

29
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,439
looks great. And here we can see all of our sensors. We have quite a few. We

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,360
have accurate PPG sensors, a temperature sensor, and threeaxis accelerometer,

31
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:11,840
which is what you're going to use to, you know, swing your arm and it knows when you're going for a walk or biking

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,200
or whatever it is you're doing. And the temperature sensor is used for things like women's health or knowing if you're

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,920
getting sick, which is awesome to have uh on you at all times. I guess the one

34
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:23,599
thing that's missing here compared to its Gen 2 counterpart is the sleep apnea

35
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:28,560
monitoring. So if you're sleeping, it won't be able to tell you, hey, you're snoring and could die at any moment. But

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,560
what are the odds of that? You're fine. One thing that's great is it does have this little etching so you know which

37
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,200
way the bottom is where the sensors are. So you can keep it in the fleshy part of

38
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,879
your finger to make sure you have the most accurate tracking. And it's not too

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,120
at only 6.8 mm. You can't really feel it. Like, you know, I can push it with

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,680
my finger, but it's not annoying at all, which is great. And its thickness is

41
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,319
only 2.1 millimeters. So, again, I rarely feel it even as someone who

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,160
doesn't wear rings. I used to wear a smartwatch to bed a lot for the sleep tracking, but it's pretty uncomfortable

43
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:59,840
at times to put your hand under the pillow or if you're sleeping next to a partner and you move your wrist wrong

44
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,200
and all a sudden you're flashing them in the middle of the night. This is a lot

45
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,920
more convenient and a lot of the time I forget it's even there. Beat the tariffs

46
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:12,599
with the shiptorm sale event at ltdstore.com. We are offering free

shipping on any order worldwide over

48
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:19,920
$150. So, it's a great time to pick up a commuter backpack, a precision

49
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,760
screwdriver, or a stylish framework hoodie. Oh, I took it off to put on this

50
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,840
jacket. The point is, we've also got never-before-seen pricing on our MCM

51
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Essentials bundle. Don't miss it. We'll have it linked down below. All right,

52
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,280
but the ring is not just for looks. It does health tracking as well, which is

53
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:37,760
fantastic. Here we are in the app. It's pretty easy to set up. All you do is

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,200
enter your information, create an account, and bam, you're in. Since I've

55
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:45,519
been using this for a couple weeks now, it already has some information. So, let's take a look through and see what

56
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,319
kind of results you can expect. On the front screen here, right away, we see

57
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,799
our score. I am full of energy today. I

58
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:57,519
had a good sleep. My vital status is almost at 100%, which is unheard of. My

59
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,480
activity 73, and I'm pretty relaxed at an 87. It's nice to have all this

60
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,280
information at a glance on the front dashboard. It would be nice to get a little bit deeper and give me some

61
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,560
interpretation what these numbers mean right off the bat, but you can dig into

62
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:15,120
it and see some of the things that it thinks are affecting things like your stress, your activity levels and goals,

63
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:18,799
or your sleep. Like this page, all I did is click on vital status, and it tells

64
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:24,800
me that my numbers are normal, but it doesn't actually say why, but I'm glad. One of the main

65
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,639
reasons I wear smart wearables is for information on sleep. And they do make

66
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,520
it really clear and easy on that front, which is fantastic. You can see the

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,800
amount of time you spent to sleep, which was not enough, but my efficiency was

68
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,880
great. You can mark how you felt when you woke up, so it can learn about you and your sleep hygiene, as well as all

69
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,759
your different sleep stages, so you can see, you know, what disturbed you in the

70
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,400
middle of the night. Mine was dreams about Riley. It's nice to have so much

71
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,880
information. It can be a lot. You know, I don't personally check out my HRV or

72
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,479
SP2 levels, but it's tracking it all the time, and you can look back on a daily

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,280
basis, see how things are changing over time, and see if there's any patterns

74
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,080
you need to change. And to help with that is the AI features built into the

75
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,759
app, which I know AI is kind of all over the place and people are rightfully

76
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,320
upset with some aspects of it. But here it's pretty constrained with you just

77
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,800
being able to ask it certain questions like how did I sleep? It'll tell you you slept really well and your sleep score

78
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,199
is really high. You slept for a total of 6 hours and 50 minutes. And you can click see details where it takes you

79
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,520
back to the sleep screen. On top of sleep, you can ask things like how active am I or about your stress levels

80
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,440
which is great. Even here it's, you know, suggesting that my stress level is getting a little bit high, which makes

81
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:30,960
sense. I get a little nervous in front of you. And my AI gives me kissy emojis.

82
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,400
But that's not the only way they use AI. If you go to the plan tab here, it'll

83
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,759
actually create you an AI health plan. So, it'll see what areas you're lacking

84
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,960
in, where you should push yourself, and how hard, which is great. So, mine says

85
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,320
I do need to get a little bit more sleep, take a few more steps in the day,

86
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,400
and lower my stress level. So, I'm

87
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,080
falling apart. But AI will help me put it all back together.

88
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Another feature I really like is the vital sign abnormality tracking feature.

89
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,440
So, if we click on this, you can see that it's warning me that my heart rate

90
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,560
was a little bit higher later into the evening than normal. As you can see

91
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:06,639
here, it shows where my heart rate was at compared to my 7-day average. What's

92
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,639
nice is you can actually go farther down and flag what the cause of the

93
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,919
abnormality was. And for me, it was drinking alcohol. On top of being able

94
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,960
to track what might have caused the abnormality, it does give you some advice on how to prevent this in the

95
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,080
future. uh in this case, less caffeine, making sure you have your vitamins,

96
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,120
getting good sleep, all very helpful things. And then you can easily dismiss

97
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,160
it so you don't have this scary warning at the top of your homepage. Here in the

98
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:34,800
fitness section of the app, you have everything you'd hope to see. Standing hours, calories burned, steps, and it

99
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,919
goes pretty granular, which is great. It'll have your base metabolism versus

100
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:41,360
how many active calories you burned, your standing hours, the intensity of

101
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,039
your workouts, as well as your exercise record, which will GPS track if you have

102
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,680
your phone with you, which is great. My only complaint is you do have to manually start all your exercises. So,

103
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,039
if you're going to go for a walk, you have to remember to activate it or if

104
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,840
you're going for a bike ride or any of the other available activities. I think

105
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:02,000
automatic tracking would take it to the next level since this is always on you. And it is IP68 waterproof up to 100 m

106
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:06,479
while swimming, which is great. So, you're going to have it on you all the time. So, the Gen 2 Air seems like a

107
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,080
pretty solid package even when compared to the Gen 2. Sure, you're losing a

108
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:15,599
couple days battery life and the sleep apnnea tracking, but for $100 less at

109
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,000
only $200, it is a great package, especially if you're someone who's just

110
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:21,680
getting into the smart wearable world. You don't have to worry about charging it all the time. You don't have to wear

111
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,120
a bulky watch or worry about constant notifications. And the health tracking

112
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,360
is really solid and gives you an insight into things that you might not be thinking about. For me personally, I

113
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:32,720
think a smart ring and smart glasses like the even reality ones we checked

114
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,400
out earlier would be an awesome combination of having your notifications

115
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,280
when you need them and health tracking all the time. So, if you want to get
