Circular Ring 2 with ECG, wireless charging: Pre-orders available now
Circular is kicking off pre-orders for the Circular Ring 2 today. First shown at CES 2025, this new version builds on the Circular Ring Slim from 2023, adding ECG monitoring and a fresh design. It’s shaping up to be an interesting option in the smart ring world.
Expanding on its predecessor’s foundations
The previous model, the Circular Ring Slim, introduced some unique features like haptic navigation and lightweight construction but didn’t win universal acclaim. The new Circular Ring 2 addresses prior criticisms with enhanced sensors, a new app interface, and notable additions like FDA-cleared AFib detection.
On-demand ECG monitoring now takes center stage in this model. This feature provides heart health insights, aiming to go beyond basic metrics. By incorporating FDA-cleared algorithms for AFib detection, the device promises to deliver actionable data for users who prioritize cardiovascular health. It is something we have not seen in a ring, to date.
Design meets durability
Circular Ring 2 has also undergone a complete aesthetic and material redesign. Available in four finishes—Gold, Silver, Black, and Rose Gold—the ring features a titanium build. The goal is to offer a device that integrates seamlessly into daily life, whether you’re attending meetings or hitting the gym.
The new digital ring-sizing feature is another notable innovation. This ensures buyers can find their fit before placing an order. It also eliminates the need to wait for a sizing kit to be sent over, thus saving time. Users can use their smartphone to find their perfect ring size.
Other upgrades
Beyond that, the Circular Ring 2 includes improved sensors for more accurate tracking of biometrics, from sleep stages to heart rate. It also boasts a longer battery life, providing up to eight days of use per charge, and introduces wireless charging.
Kira+, the AI wellness assistant, has also received a significant update. The accompanying app now offers a more intuitive interface, aligning with the ring’s upscale design ethos.
Plus the ring now has a dedicated Women’s Health Suite. It offers cycle tracking, temperature monitoring, and insights into fertility, menopause, and overall wellness.
Market availability and pricing
Circular hopes the upgrades and expanded feature set will resonate with users. Pre-orders on Kickstarter open from today, with early backers getting discounts of up to $310. Shipping is set for June 2025 after the campaign ends. For more details, visit www.circular.xyz.
While it’s early to gauge how well this new model will be received, Circular seems committed to refining its smart ring line to better meet user expectations. With features like ECG and AFib detection, the new device could make a name for itself.
