The Ring is the second wearable from Ultrahuman; the M1 patch focuses on tracking glucose levels in real time, while this new addition looks to offer a more complete set of data. Information on the brand site is a little on the ‘dramatic but unclear’ side, so we reached out for an explanation of how it all works. Essentially, there are optical, temperature and motion sensors hidden within the ring, which are used to track HRV (heart rate variability), sleep, temperature and movement, in real time.
“Based on these metrics and biomarkers, we are able to derive insights for users,” founder and CEO Mohit Kumar told us. “The core capability is to allow people to understand their metabolism.”
We suspect it will not, as the press release says, give you ultrahuman power. What it will do is give you intelligent exercise or recovery recommendations that work with your metabolic activity. For example, it can offer insights into NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), sleep efficiency and its effect on glucose metabolism, and the impact of food on your performance and recovery.

The Ring is made from titanium, coated with tungsten carbide, which is apparently five times harder than tool steel and extremely scratch-resistant. A smooth inner and compact form factor are certainly appealing as asleep trackeroption too.
