An emerging player in the smart wearable market, Circular has unveiled its latest health and fitness tracking smart ring – Ring Slim. Launched as a successor to the 2023 Ring Slim brings a solid build and several new software features. However, in terms of design, the latest ring doesn’t look very different from its predecessor.
Looking at its features, the Ring Slim seems very promising, particularly in the increasingly competitive smart ring market. However, don’t forget that there are also big competitors in the smart ring domain such as well-known smart ring maker Oura and Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Ring is sure to give tough competition to Ring Slim.
Circular’s ring is becoming better with each iteration, the upgraded hardware and improved app for sports and performance tracking offer a comprehensive overview of your physical exertion and progress.
Let’s start with the design, the new Ring Slim features a very similar design to its predecessor but with a more durable build, measures 2.5mm thick, and weighs just 2 grams, making it the thinnest and lightest smart ring available on the market. It has a scratch-resistant coating, protecting it from accidental scratches. Circular also integrated a full IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
The Ring Slim has advanced health-tracking features such as heart rate monitoring, enhanced sleep tracking, SpO2, temperature, and breathing rate monitoring. Circular claims that the new algorithm delivers a 79% accuracy against Polysomnography tests. The new heart-tracking algorithm now also provides real-time metrics during sports activities. This new feature is coupled with GPS tracking for routes, offering a detailed overview of the tracked health data.
Circular also packed an Advanced Analysis Circle feature to the Ring Slim, which allows users to compare all their health and wellness data in a single, intuitive graph. This powerful feature will help users identify trends, monitor improvements, and make informed decisions about their health journey, according to Circular.
Circular also introduced a new upgraded version of the Kira+ companion app, which offers a more dynamic and comprehensive approach to health and fitness tracking. “With the support of elite athletes like Clint Capela and Romain Grosjean, we are confident that our users will be inspired to reach new heights in their personal fitness journeys”, said Circular’s Co-Founder Amaury Kosman.
The 2024 Ring Slim starts at $394. You can buy the Ring Slim via Circular’s official website.
