Revamping the Ring Game: Circular Ring 2 Gets a Makeover and Rethinks Purchasing Smart Rings
Purchasing a smart ring is no longer as straightforward as buying a smartwatch, typically requiring a sizing kit first. However, the upcoming CES 2025 has brought a change with the introduction of the Circular Ring 2 by the French brand Circular. This second-generation smart ring offers a phone-based sizing system, eliminating the need for measurement kits and streamlining the process.
The Circular Ring 2's innovative feature, Digital Ring Sizing, utilizes your smartphone's camera to measure your finger size accurately. The user simply needs to place their hand below a card (such as a credit card) and the algorithms detect the finger size. Although it's a work in progress, it swiftly speeds up the ordering process and equally aids in sustainability by cutting down packaging waste.
Equipped with enhanced sensors, the Circular Ring 2 boasts improved health tracking features. It features an FDA-cleared Atrial Fibrillation detection algorithm to monitor heart rhythms, providing real-time insights. The redesigned app offers a luxurious and more intuitive user experience, mirroring the device's aesthetic.
Made of durable titanium, the Circular Ring 2 comes in four colors, including Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and Black. The device has undergone a complete redesign and boasts augmented battery life. With 24/7 health monitoring, including detailed sleep stage analysis, the device lasts up to eight days on a single charge.
The Circular Ring 2 is set to hit the market between February and March 2025, at a price point of $380. While pricier than some no-subscription competitors, Circular plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign in January prior to the official release.
Digital Ring Sizing, an integral part of the Circular Ring 2, has the potential to revolutionize smart ring purchasing. By using a smartphone camera to measure finger sizes, it reduces waste and saves customers money on sizing kits.
