You’re here to make a statement and your jewelry should do the same. And if your jewelry comes from Ringly, it will likely do just that. On Thursday, the smart jewelry maker launched a new suite of rings and bracelets that promises to help you lead a healthy and more balanced lifestyle, all while maintaining peace of mind and your personal style.

The rings and bracelets from Ringly are not just aesthetically pleasing — they are activity trackers, too. Keep tabs on the number of steps you have taken, distance traveled, calories burned, and more. You can even set and manage your personal health goals so that you feel as good as your jewelry looks.

But Ringly is not just a pretty fitness wearable. Rather, it is a way to help you stay a bit more connected to the world by disconnecting you from your mobile device. Instead of constantly checking your phone (only to be disappointed by a blank screen), you can instead rest assured that you are not missing any key notifications thanks to your ring or bracelet. Ringly integrates with more than 100 applications, including Gmail, Bumble, JetBlue, and LinkedIn, so you can select which alerts you want to feel (thanks to four subtle vibration patterns and five light colors) and which ones can wait.

“We believe your jewelry should not only be beautiful but also smart,” Ringly founder and CEO Christina Mercando d’Avignon said. “Whether at the dinner table, out with friends, or in an important meeting, Ringly allows you to stay on top of your daily activity and mobile alerts so you never miss a beat, but aren’t glued to your phone.”

Included in Ringly’s newest collection are shiny gold, rose gold, and silver styles, all of which are crafted with semi-precious stones, including howlite, white moonstone, Amazonite, and purple jade. All pieces work within a 20- to 30- foot range from your phone and have a one-year limited warranty. All pieces in the collection are priced at $165.

Whatever you do, don’t buy this smart ring

A person wearing the Circular Ring Slim smart ring.

Revisiting a product, sometimes months down the line after I initially reviewed it, can be really enjoyable. I found I still liked the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro when I wore it for weeks again. And I realized that the Amazon Fire Max 11 is still a fantastic purchase a year after I first tried it out. So, when a revised Circular Ring Slim came along after a few months, I was very keen to get it back on my finger.

You see, the first Circular Ring Slim has one of the lowest scores I’ve ever given to a product in a review, and I really wanted to change it for the better. Unfortunately, I gave the Ring Slim a second chance, and it rewarded me with just as much disappointment as — plus a little bit more than — the first time around.

This smart ring has a feature you won’t find on the Galaxy Ring

The Ultrahuman Ring Air has become the first smart ring to include the ability to detect atrial fibrillation. The feature isn’t part of a simple software update either; it’s the headline feature in Ultrahuman’s new PowerPlugs app store for the smart ring, But as with a lot of modern health and fitness features, there's a subscription involved.

Let's talk about the feature first. Wear the Ultrahuman Ring Air, and it will monitor your heart rhythm and look for signs of irregularities — acting as an early warning system for problems that can sometimes lead to serious health concerns. Ultrahuman CEO Mohit Kumar called the feature a “lifesaving technology” and stated that it has been “medical approval in limited markets, and we’re aggressively launching new markets with regulator approval every few weeks.”

The Galaxy Ring is an entirely new product for Samsung and marks its entrance into the smart ring market, which has largely been dominated by Oura for the past few years. Here are all the details on the Galaxy Ring.
