I can confirm that anybody who cares about their fitness routine and optimizing every aspect of their workout and recovery game will find the Ultrahuman Ring Air extremely helpful. The ring monitors all the good stuff: activity, sleep, and recovery. Plus, it prioritizes comfort and a sleek build that doesn’t tarnish easily or interfere with the rote tasks of your day, like carrying heavy bags, washing hands and dishes, and showering.
What’s cool about the Ultrahuman Ring Air is the notifications you get during or after your activity. For example, I went on a run with this ring one morning, and after my workout was complete it notified me to delay any caffeine for around an hour to allow the adenosine I built up from my run to flush out of my system. Later in the day, it reminded me to stretch my legs to recover from the morning’s run and relieve tension.
You can also document your diet, while the ring’s app offers you AI insights into the health information behind each food you’re eating. Some of the data becomes excessive, but I can imagine that anyone who is all-in on optimizing their lifestyle for marathon training or some other fitness goal will find the information Ultrahuman offers useful. Plus, there is a Discover tab on the app with guided workouts for everything from pilates, high intensity interval training, vinyasa yoga, and more.
The battery life is on par with Oura’s, as I charged both up at the same time and found that they run out of juice within hours of each other (about six days). And unlike the Oura Ring, which seemingly scratches when in contact with abrasive material, the Ultrahuman has maintained its sheen, sans scratches. I don’t have trouble recommending this ring to health-minded individuals honing their workout and recovery regimen. Plus, unlike Oura, the Ultrahuman Ring Air doesn’t come with the price of a monthly subscription.
Redditors say that the Ultrahuman Ring Air is on par with Oura, but the rings overall aren’t as effective at fitness tracking as a smartwatch or chest strap. The care and drive for improvement with this ring is palpable: Upon reading user reviews on Reddit, I’ve noticed that Ultrahuman’s founder, Mohit Kumar, is on these threads interacting with users who leave reviews or ask questions about the product — not something I’ve seen before.
