For users who prioritize longevity above all, the RingConn Gen 2 stands out. It often leads the market with an impressive 10-12 days of battery life on a single charge. This creates a "set it and forget it" experience, allowing you to go on a week-long vacation without packing a charger. This makes it an ideal choice for those who value low-maintenance technology.

Though you don't have to worry about charging it very often is the battery life is up to 10 days which is awesome and I found was pretty accurate. I rarely had to charge which is almost nerve-wracking. It feels like you're doing something wrong and that you should be charging but it truly just lasts that long which is great.

Ringcon markets this device as being lightweight, holding 10 days battery life, offering 24/7 health monitoring, and all at no additional subscription cost. Let's see if this thing truly is just as good at half the price or if it's just halfbaked. All right, so we'll start out by taking a look at what's inside the box. We've of course got the Ringcon smart ring.

It sits perfectly, and I love the matte black finish with its minimalist and industrial look. Not to put the air down, with its stainless steel design, it's about the same weight as Gen 2 and just about as sturdy. The only reason I didn't like it as much is really petty. I found its color choices not that appealing.

So, I've spent a couple of weeks using the Ringcon Gen 2 Air now, and I have to say that overall, I'm a fan. My main issue with health tracking has always been that I don't like wearing a smartwatch to bed, and this means I've never been able to get good sleep data to track, but thankfully that's all changed with the Ringcon Gen 2 Air.

And yep, both rings are IP68 rated, so no worries about wearing them in the shower or even swimming down to 100 meters to meet Ariel. After wearing the rings for a few days, I noticed that they're slightly larger than the rings I usually wear, so it took a bit of getting used to. Both rings work with Android and iOS and connect via Bluetooth 5 low energy.

We're wearing the RingConn Gen 2 feels quite natural. It's so slim and light that after a few minutes, I would have forgotten it's on. If this review wasn't on my mind, the 2 millimeter titanium Alloy body has that smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel of a real ring, and because it's noticeably thinner than something like the Aura 4, it never catches on pockets or gloves.

And right away, it feels premium. The packaging is sleek and everything is neatly tucked inside. But the real difference starts with the ring itself. Right out of the box, the Gen 2 Air makes a bold first impression. The Dune Gold color has a satin gloss champagne hue that looks incredibly premium in daylight. Much more eye-catching than the flat matte black of the original.

I much prefer the app for Garmin over ringconn, I find its recommendations useless, and I strongly disagree with what it sees as acceptable sleep patterns. The garmin just seems to understand my health stats better. I wanted it to work but ultimately do not recommend, I am returning it and just using the watch full time now.
