Ultrahuman Ring Air Initial Thoughts and Unboxing

I have been interested in Smart Fitness Rings for a while now, they have been out for over a decade, and there are several offerings from companies like Ultrahuman, RingConn, Oura, Amazfit, Samsung, along with a bunch of cheap China made knock offs that generally lack in the software department.

I have been interested in how a Smart Ring would integrate with my Smart Fitness Watch (which currently is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic). I don't think I could give up using a Smart Fitness Watch, as I love the total integration with my SmartPhone and having all the notifications on my wrist so I don't have to always pull out my Phone. But on the other hand, not always having to wear my Smart Fitness Watch when I sleep to track my sleep, or even if I simply want to dress up and wear one of my fancy analog type watches without missing out on my health data.

Having an all the time wearable Smart Fitness Ring, allows me to have the freedom and flexibility to take off my Smart Fitness Watch when it is not convenient or simply maybe just to charge it, and not be concerned about missing on tracking my Health and Fitness Data. Smart Fitness Rings also really focus on not just Fitness or Activity Data, but on overall Body Health, and they do it better than a Smart Fitness Watch in my opinion.

So when Ultrahuman reached out to me and asked if I wanted to test out their latest Ultrahuman Ring Air, and see how it compares to my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic as a Smart Fitness Tracker, I said yes in a heart beat! By the way all my opinions and views in any review I make for the Ultrahuman Ring Air are my own and not influenced by Ulrahuman in any way. They have not given me any real direction in what content and what I say about my experience using it.

In this first Unboxing Video, I unbox the Ultrahuman Ring Air and go over my initial thoughts along with why I am so interested in what a Smart Fitness Ring can do for me. I will be using it for several weeks, perhaps even a month or so to really get to know it well and find out any of the strengths and weaknesses I experience. I want to compare it to my Samsung Smart Fitness Watch and see if the data is comparable, information like heart rate, step count, calories burned, miles walked, sleep activity, blood oxygen levels, body temperature and whatever else is comparable. I will also figure out what other insights the Ultrahuman Ring Air offers me.

Can You Really Trust Your Fitness Tech Devices?

I for one love a tech device that can help provide me with valuable information relating to my health and fitness. Info like how many calories I am burning, how many steps am I taking, how many active minutes am I achieving daily, how many miles am I walking and of course then there is the food tech devices and apps that help us track our food and macros so we can figure out exactly what we need to consume to balance our health and fitness activity goals.

The question is, should we really be trusting these fitness tech devices to be accurate and are they perhaps giving us too much or too little confidence in dialing in exactly what we need to do to balance everything health and fitness related.

In this walk and talk video I explain some of the shortcomings certain fitness tech devices have that can skew a reading and make you believe you are on or off track when in fact the info may not be accurate due to limitations of the fitness tech devices.
