RingConn: Wearables get new update with improvements, blood pressure measurement on the way

RingConn is a well-established manufacturer of smart rings that come without any additional subscription costs. The manufacturer is rolling out a new software update, version 3.11.0, that promises several upgrades and bug fixes. Users will now benefit from at improved, automatic workout recognition. In our opinion, this could be very useful for a smart ring – in the absence of dedicated controls, a workout can usually only be started via the app and not, as with a smartwatch, by pressing one or more buttons on the wearable itself. The changelog also advertises improved display of relevant parameters during a training session.

Furthermore, the changelog mentions various bugs fixes as well as improvements in stability. Malaysian is now also supported as a language. Blood pressure measurement via the smart ring has not yet been implemented, but progress is being made in this area: users can apply for a beta program, but should keep in mind that testing versions may be unstable. There is already discussion about the update on Reddit, where it is said that workout recognition works well at least in terms of time and jogging, but there is apparently still room for improvement in terms of distance.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
