Review: Amazing ring, looks amazing - This ring is amazing; it
has the same functionality as the highest priced rings at a
fraction of the price. In my opinion, it is one of the best
looking smart rings in the market. The initial setup was very
easy and the connectivity was inmmediate. It connects with my
iphone and I get all the information from both devices on the
health app. The battery last for days, and when it is time to
recharge the light blinks red. Recharging the ring is really
fast. The app is easy to use and very responsive. The size is
accurate so you can check with a different ring or sizing tool
before ordering.
Review: Battery makes this worthless - Battery is trash. Having
to charge it every two and half days makes this a worthless
purchase. There's no notification that the battery is dead, you
just eventually look at the app and realize, "Dang, the battery
is dead." Compared to my smart watch (which I hoped to replace
with this ring), this also doesn't track steps nearly as
accurate. I feel for sleep tracking it does do a better job, but
that's prime time to charge it. Because, wow. It needs to be
charged more often than my watch. I also bought one for my wife
for Christmas, both purchases were for around $169ish. But
looking to leave this review and I see it's like $229 now. Holy
smokes is that the worst value of all smart rings on the market.
I also have the smart scale, which mostly performs as expected,
which is why I decided to buy this ring. But after realizing the
battery is dead after making sure it's 100% charged a few days
ago, I'm regretting my loyalty. Either, 1. Smart ring technology
is not where it needs to be to make these type purchases worth
it, or, 2. This smart ring's battery is worthless for it's
intended purpose. Update: My God it seems to get worse day to
day. I'm past the time to get it replaced, so I'm stuck with this
terrible smart ring. It takes forever to charge. And I mean even
just one percent point takes several minutes. I have it at 69%
and I thought to charge it a few minutes before going to sleep,
just to be sure it lasts me through the morning until I get to my
office desk and charge it some more (yes, it loses its charge
THAT fast), after 20 minutes, it is still at 69%. Like, how? It
seems it must be charged one minute for every minute you wear it.
I can't believe no one else is complaining.... Second update:
Since my first update, the ring stopped working entirely, meaning
it loses it's full charge within hours, not 24 hours like before.
I attempted to fix this, by removing the device from my Renpho
app in hopes of pairing it would make a difference. Now it will
not pair with the app at all. It does detect the ring is
available to pair, but it fails when I try. Two representatives
reached out about my review and offered to either refund, or
replace my ring after some back and forth where I've provided
screenshots of the failed connection attempts. I was willing to
give it another try with a new (probably refurbished) device and
they said they would soon provide me with tracking details for my
new ring, but it's been weeks now and no other word from them has
been received. They also said I wouldn't have to send the old one
back, which I felt was a good gesture. But since they've since
ghosted me, I figured a fresh update was warranted.
