FAQ
How do I choose the right ring size for me?
If you're uncertain about your Ultrahuman Ring AIR size, we recommend opting for the free sizing kit that we'll promptly dispatch it upon placing a Ring order. The sizing kit includes high-quality plastic ring sizers ranging from sizes 5 to 14. Please note that Ultrahuman Ring AIR sizes may differ slightly from standard US ring sizes, and we don't offer half sizes. If you are already acquainted with your Ultrahuman Ring (R1) size, you'll find the Ring AIR will fit you just the same.
Why is the Brushed Rose Gold priced higher than the colors?
Ultrahuman is celebrating the second anniversary of the Ring Air. As part of the celebration, we've been working to craft a special experience combining new materials and technology. We have developed a unique manufacturing process to bring this concept to life. The brushed texture softens reflections and the warm rose gold tone offers a refined finish—exclusive to this variant.
The ring's colour and tone have been crafted to shift from a soft, muted glow under ambient light to a more defined, radiant shimmer in direct sunlight. This dynamic quality gives the ring depth and character which is unique to the Brushed Rose Gold finish.
Which finger is optimal for wearing the ring?
We suggest wearing the ring on your index, middle, or ring finger. The ultimate choice among these depends on which finger provides the most comfortable fit or aligns with your personal preference.
Is there any subscription fee to access ring data?
Rest assured, there are no recurring subscription fees for accessing your data. Ring AIR is available for a simple, one-time purchase, paid upfront. This purchase gives you lifelong access to both the ring and your personal data.
Which devices are compatible with the ring?
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR is designed to seamlessly interface with iPhones operating on iOS 15 or newer, as well as Android devices functioning on Android 6 or subsequent versions.
How does the ring capture and measure body signals?
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR employs an array of sensors, including a temperature sensor, a PPG (photoplethysmography) sensor, and a motion-sensing IMU (inertial measurement unit). By capturing signals from your finger, these sensors enable the ring to collect vital data. These signals are then processed using advanced algorithms, developed by Ultrahuman, to provide you with profound metabolic insights and a comprehensive understanding of your body's dynamics.
What is Heart Rate Variability (HRV)?
Heart Rate Variability, commonly abbreviated as HRV, refers to the extent of fluctuation or variation in your heart rate over a specific timeframe. HRV serves as a valuable metric for assessing physical well-being, including heart conditions, as well as mental health factors such as anxiety and stress levels. Generally, a higher HRV is regarded as an indication of better overall health.
Are there distinct features on the app for Ultrahuman Ring AIR?
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR operates seamlessly with the existing functionalities within the ring section of the app. Should there be the introduction of new features, rest assured they will be made available for both the Ultrahuman Ring AIR and the Ultrahuman Ring (R1).
What specific parameters can the ring monitor?

This includes Heart Rate, HRV, Body Temperature, SPO2, Sleep Stages, Movement Frequency, and Recovery patterns, among others. Additionally, it offers real-time insights designed to guide you towards making healthier daily decisions. These metrics are also seamlessly integrated with the broader Ultrahuman ecosystem of products, such as the Ultrahuman M1.
How do Ultrahuman Ring AIR and M1 sync to promote metabolic health?
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR and Ultrahuman M1 work in synergy to provide valuable insights into your metabolic health. By combining glucose data from the M1 with data on movement, sleep, and body metrics collected by the ring, deep correlations can be established. This helps us identify how certain foods impact glucose levels, allowing for proactive recommendations on activities or interventions to counter or assist these effects. The integration of M1 and Ring data empowers us to offer personalized and precise insights tailored to your unique metabolic health needs.
How do Ultrahuman Ring AIR and M1 sync to improve sleep health?
By leveraging the combined data on Sleep and Glucose, we can analyze in real-time how glucose spikes impact your sleep. For example, if higher-than-usual glucose spikes occur after a meal, it may be correlated with poor sleep quality. Real-time nudges will help you take appropriate actions to assist the situation.
How does the Ultrahuman Ring AIR distinguish itself from other consumer wearable devices?
Unlike many consumer wearables, the Ultrahuman Ring AIR focuses specifically on providing insights into factors that influence our body's metabolism. It goes beyond traditional tracking by measuring key aspects such as sleep quality, sleep zones, stress levels (through HRV), and activity distribution. The distinctive feature lies in its capability to not only collect data but also correlate it with real-time nudges and insights, enabling users to make informed decisions for enhancing their metabolic health.
