    I prefer Ringconn 💍 with The Gen 2 on the way

    Paying $6 a month is a ripoff. I bought one before the monthly fee and now it sits in a drawer.

    Surprising when I went from one to ring two, they offered a lifetime subscription, which is wonderful for me however, my hope is that they would offer us again to upgrade from the three to the four for a nice incentive

    The biggest disappointment for me is the lack of nfc for contactless payments. That was the biggest reason for me to buy one.

    My biggest complaint is battery, my gen 3 last line 3-4 days and the worst thing is to wake up in the morning with battery low and no recording of your previous night sleep.

    They make good products, but I think it just makes more sense to get an Apple Watch because you’ll get more functionality and likely more support. This needs to do something significantly different from smart watches or be much cheaper.

    • @Betancourtdm

      October 15, 2024 at 1:20 pm

      I would argue they are very different markets. The ring has insanely detailed health metrics compared to the Apple Watch.

    Heed Revelation 13:9-18 and I would love to tell you The Truth from The Holy Bible about what is going on. However, I politely encourage you to read it for yourselves. By The Way, check out Truthunedited and Stephan Darby’s sermons to get a deeper understanding for The Life. May YAH bless you, your families, and HALLELUYAH!

    In the future, I suggest against publishing a video for a product to only tried for a week. Each of us probably spent longer watching your video than you spent watching your ring metrics.

    I fear that there is little to no difference between the gen 3 and gen 4. Mine is being delivered tomorrow, I’m preparing to be super disappointed.
