Wearable tech reviews: RingConn smart ring and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Recent reviews highlight new developments in the wearable technology market, focusing on health tracking through rings and rugged smartwatches.

The RingConn Gen 3 smart ring is designed for effortless health monitoring, such as pulse and sleep tracking, without the bulk of a traditional smartwatch. While the device features solid construction and clean processing, its epoxy resin and thin titanium build results in a lightweight feel that may lack the premium haptics of traditional jewelry.

Samsung has released the Galaxy Watch Ultra, aimed at athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. The device features a scratch-resistant titanium housing and is water-resistant under IP68 and 10ATM standards. However, the design has received mixed feedback due to its bulky, square-shaped casing paired with a round dial, which some users may find uncomfortable or oversized for smaller wrists.
