Our verdict
Ultrahuman suits people who want a sleep and recovery ring without a subscription, inside an ecosystem that also covers glucose monitoring and blood tests. The trade-offs are a 2.7/5 Trustpilot score with reports of battery and hardware failures and slow support, plus an unresolved US patent fight with Oura.
Best for: Users who want ring-based sleep, heart-rate and HRV tracking without a monthly fee.
Skip it if: US buyers who want no legal uncertainty: Ring AIR is under an ITC import ban and Oura sued over Ring PRO in October 2026.
Pros
- No mandatory subscription; Max is optional.
- Ring PRO lists up to 15 days of battery and Ring AIR 4 to 6 days (per the homepage).
- Broad ecosystem: ring, M1 glucose monitor and Blood Vision with 100+ markers.
Cons
- 2.7/5 on Trustpilot (856 reviews) and 3.4/5 on Google Play: users report fast battery drain, failures within months and unreliable syncing.
- In the US, Ring AIR has been under an ITC import ban over Oura patents since 21 October 2025; the redesigned Ring PRO is on sale but faces a new Oura complaint filed in October 2026.
All pros and cons · Who is it for?
Pros
- 4.51/5 on the US App Store from nearly 8,000 ratings.
Cons
- Not every regional store prices locally (the Vietnam page lists USD); the warranty is valid only in the country of purchase and the recipient pays import fees.
Best for
- People who want ring data combined with continuous glucose (M1) or blood tests (Blood Vision).
Skip it if
- Anyone needing a diagnostic medical device: the app listing says the products are not medical devices.
Problems it solves
Experience & key features
Ultrahuman is an Indian company selling a health ecosystem: the Ring AIR and Ring PRO smart rings, the M1 continuous glucose monitor, Blood Vision tests (100+ markers) and the Home sleep monitor. The Ultrahuman app (iOS and Android) turns the data into sleep, activity, recovery and cardiovascular scores and can sync with Apple Health. The app listing states the products are not medical devices.
According to the homepage, Ring PRO offers up to 15 days of battery (up to 45 days with the PRO charger) while Ring AIR weighs 2.4 grams with 4 to 6 days of battery. The US page lists Ring AIR at $349 and Ring PRO with charging case at $479. There is no mandatory subscription; Max is optional at $9.99/month or $99.99/year and adds PowerPlugs and damage and loss support.
The biggest risk is legal. According to Oura, the ITC ruled on 21 August 2025 that Ultrahuman and RingConn infringed Oura's patents, and the import ban took effect on 21 October 2025 after presidential review. RingConn reached a licensing deal, while Ultrahuman said existing Ring AIR owners keep software and warranty support. According to the5krunner, US Customs (CBP) ruled in March 2026 that the redesigned Ring PRO falls outside the exclusion order, and the US buy page sells Ring PRO. In October 2026, however, Oura filed a new complaint against Ring PRO asserting two other patents; Ultrahuman says no injunction has been entered and it will contest the claims.
On quality, the App Store score is high (4.51/5 from nearly 8,000 ratings) while Google Play is 3.4/5 and Trustpilot only 2.7/5: reviewers praise the styling and accuracy but complain about battery, hardware failures and support. Compared with Oura or Whoop, Ultrahuman's main draws are the lack of a required subscription and the glucose and blood-test add-ons.
