Before you buy RingConn Gen 2 Air
A $199 steel smart ring, compared with a light-powered wristband.
RingConn Gen 2 Air is one of the less expensive smart rings, at $199, with no subscription and blood-oxygen sensing. Its steel build helps keep the price down, and it lasts up to 10 days per charge. Ray starts at $219, is worn on the wrist and powers itself from light.
The short answer
Choose Gen 2 Air if you want an inexpensive smart ring with long battery life. Choose Ray if you'd rather wear a band and pay a little more to stop charging altogether.
