The filing was published on May 7, 2026 as US 2026/0123720 A1. It is technically a continuation of an older application from 2022, so this is not Oura suddenly revealing a brand new product direction. But it does show the company is still spending time protecting modular ring concepts.

This looks broader than the earlier battery idea

The earlier patent was easier to explain. It focused on a ring with a removable battery section, which immediately made sense because battery lifespan is one of the weak points of smart rings. Tiny batteries degrade and there is only so much room inside a ring to work with.

This new filing takes the idea further. Instead of just swapping a battery section, Oura describes a removable outer cover that can connect to the ring itself. The diagrams show electrical contacts and inductive components lining up between the ring and the cover, which suggests this is more than just a protective shell.

In simple terms, Oura seems to be imagining a ring that can temporarily gain extra hardware when needed. That could mean more battery life, different sensors or extra functionality without making the main ring permanently bigger.

Why this direction makes sense

Smart rings are always fighting the same battle. People want more sensors, better battery life and more advanced tracking, but they also want the ring to stay thin and comfortable. There is not much physical space to play with.

A modular setup could help with that. You keep the everyday ring small, then add something extra only when you actually need it. Maybe that is overnight tracking, longer battery life during travel or more advanced health monitoring for certain situations.

That part is still speculation, because patents often stay patents forever. But the interesting thing here is not the exact implementation. It is the fact that Oura keeps circling around the same general idea of expandable smart ring hardware.

The drawings also show different attachment methods. Some use electrical contact points. Others appear to rely on inductive components. There are even locking mechanisms and partial outer modules that clip around sections of the ring instead of covering the whole thing.

Probably not a near term product

We would not read this as evidence that Oura Ring 5 is about to launch with snap on accessories. Patent filings are often much broader than what companies actually ship. Sometimes they are defensive. Sometimes they are just future thinking.

Still, it is notable that Oura now has multiple patents pointing toward some kind of modular architecture. There was the detachable battery concept. Now we have removable functional covers that could hold different electronics.

That starts to look less like a one off experiment and more like an area Oura genuinely finds interesting. Whether users would actually want clip on ring modules is another question entirely.

The easiest mistake is to treat this as a simple sequel. It is not. Gen 3 shifts RingConn’s top model into a more active smart ring, while Gen 2 keeps the slimmer design and Gen 2 Air remains the cheaper entry point.

Let’s dive into the detail.

The headline change is vibration

The clearest hardware difference is vibration. RingConn Gen 3 has vibration alerts, while Gen 2 and Gen 2 Air do not. That gives the new model a direct feature split from both older rings.

RingConn has also clarified what this feature does. Gen 3 does not vibrate for messages or alarms. It uses vibration for health alerts and reminders, so this is not a phone notification ring.

That limit is worth spelling out because vibration on a smart ring can easily sound like smartwatch territory. RingConn is taking a narrower route here. The ring can nudge the user, but only for health-related prompts and reminders rather than texts, calls or wake-up alarms.

That makes the feature less broad than some people may have expected. But it also keeps Gen 3 in the smart ring lane. It adds a physical alert layer without pretending the ring can replace a wrist device.

The sensors have changed too

RingConn is also saying Gen 3 has new optical heart rate sensors for more accurate readings. The temperature sensor and 3-axis accelerometer have also been upgraded. That is important because it gives Gen 3 more than just an added vibration motor.

Those changes are harder to judge from a spec sheet because accuracy depends on fit, firmware and real-world use. Still, better optical heart rate hardware should matter most during daily tracking, sleep and overnight health data collection. The upgraded temperature sensor and accelerometer also feed into the kind of background tracking smart rings rely on.

The vascular health feature needs careful wording. Gen 3 uses vascular load patterns, which RingConn describes as automatic background blood pressure measurements, alongside optional manual blood pressure inputs and lifestyle factors. The result is personalised vascular health insight, essentially blood pressure trend data rather than single cuff-style readings on demand.

Now, this feature is also currently in Beta for the Gen 2 device. So presumably at some stage it will be coming to owners of that version as well. Gen 2 Air is not part of that Beta so those rings are not capable of capturing the metric.

Battery life moves up

Battery life also improves with Gen 3. RingConn rates the new ring at up to 14 days, compared with up to 12 days for Gen 2 and up to 10 days for Gen 2 Air. That gives Gen 3 the longest quoted runtime in the current lineup.

There is a catch, because vibration affects runtime. RingConn says Gen 3 lasts around 10 to 12 days with vibration on, or 11 to 14 days with vibration off. So the headline figure depends on how the new alert feature is used.

The charging setup changes as well. Gen 3 comes with a universal wireless charging case. Gen 2 uses a size-specific wireless charging case and Gen 2 Air uses a universal wired charging dock, so the new model gets the cleaner charging accessory in the lineup.

Offline data storage also increases. Gen 3 stores data for 10 days, while Gen 2 and Gen 2 Air store 7 days. It is not the most exciting upgrade, but it is useful if the ring does not sync with the phone every day.

Gen 3 is slightly thicker

Not everything is in favour of Gen 3. That version measures 2.3mm and weighs between 2.5 and 3.5 grams. Gen 2 is thinner at 2.0mm and weighs between 2 and 3 grams. Gen 2 Air is also 2.0mm thick, but weighs between 2.5 and 4 grams. So Gen 3 is not the thinnest RingConn ring, even though it stays within a light range for a smart ring.

The bottom line

Gen 3 is currently showing at $383, reduced from $426 on the RingConn website. It comes in Future Silver, Royal Gold, Matte Black, Brushed Silver and Brushed Rose Gold. RingConn also offers trade-in discounts of up to $70, depending on which older ring you own.

One detail worth flagging is sizing. Gen 3 uses a different sizing system, so existing RingConn users should not assume their Gen 2 or Gen 2 Air size will carry over. The sizing kit is the safer option because fit affects both comfort and sensor contact.

Gen 3 is the obvious pick if you want the newest hardware. Vibration alerts, upgraded sensors, longer battery life, 10 days of offline storage and the wireless charging case give it the strongest spec sheet in the lineup. The price and slightly thicker body are the trade-offs.

RingConn Gen 3*

Order now

The $299 Gen 2 still has a role. It is thinner than Gen 3, lighter at the low end and still offers up to 12 days of battery life. For users who do not care about vibration alerts, it may still be the cleaner choice.

The $199 Gen 2 Air is the value option. It keeps the basics, costs less and still reaches up to 10 days of battery life. But it misses out on vibration, uses stainless steel rather than titanium and does not get the same top-end positioning.

All three rings keep RingConn’s no-subscription setup, which remains one of the cleaner advantages in this category.

The post RingConn Gen 3 vs Gen 2 and Gen 2 Air: Differences explained appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The cheaper route comes with the smaller charger

The headline number is easy to understand. The Super Early Bird Kickstarter tier is $299 and includes the Ultrahuman Ring PRO, three PowerPlugs free for one year, the Ring PRO Mini Charger and a Type-C to Type-C cable. Local taxes and customs may still apply, but free worldwide shipping is part of the reward.

That puts the Kickstarter price quite a bit below the Ring PRO price shown through Ultrahuman’s own direct channel. The official website currently sells the Ring PRO with the PRO Charging Case at $479.

The difference sits in the charging accessory. The Kickstarter reward includes the Mini Charger, which Ultrahuman describes as the compact everyday charging companion for the Ring PRO. It is a small dock that plugs in via USB-C and is designed for simple charging at a desk, in a gym bag or while travelling.

The official website bundle includes the larger PRO Charging Case. That accessory adds more than just another way to charge the ring. Ultrahuman says the case extends total battery life to up to 45 days, stores up to one year of ring data, includes Find My Case support with an integrated speaker and supports Qi wireless charging.

So yes, Kickstarter is cheaper. But the official store bundle gives you the more capable charging accessory from day one.

The core Ring PRO pitch stays the same

The Ring PRO itself is still the same. Ultrahuman claims up to 15 days of battery life, a dual-core processor with on-chip machine learning, BLE 5.3 and up to 250 days of on-ring storage. The ring also has 100 metre water resistance, a unibody titanium design and ProRelease technology, which allows it to be cut apart more easily if finger swelling or injury becomes an issue.

There are four finishes on offer: Bionic Gold, Aster Black, Space Silver and Raw Titanium. Sizes run from 5 to 14, and a free sizing kit ships before the actual ring. That is useful because smart ring sizing can be awkward, and a poor fit can hurt both comfort and sensor performance.

Ultrahuman is also using the campaign to push Jade, its real-time biointelligence AI. The company says Jade connects ring data with Blood Vision biomarkers, M1 CGM glucose trends and Ultrahuman Home environmental data. It is available as a platform upgrade to Ultrahuman users globally, including Ring AIR users, so this is not being framed as a Ring PRO-only feature.

The campaign also leans into PowerPlugs. These are Ultrahuman’s add-on health tools, and the Super Early Bird tier includes three of them free for one year. The included PowerPlugs are Respiratory Health, Cycle & Ovulation Pro and Cardio Adaptability, with the campaign valuing the bundle at $130.

Kickstarter adds a different kind of buying decision

The lower Kickstarter price makes the Ring PRO easier to consider, but it also changes the nature of the purchase. Buying through Kickstarter is not the same as ordering through a normal online store.

That said, this is not a mystery startup trying to build its first device. Ultrahuman points to previous Kickstarter campaigns for the Ultrahuman Ring and Ring AIR, and says it previously raised close to $1 million from 3,135 backers. This new campaign also passed its $10,000 goal quickly, with about $30,101 pledged in the first few hours and 29 days still left to run.

That does not remove the usual Kickstarter caveats, but it does make the campaign feel less speculative than most crowdfunded wearables.

For buyers, the decision is fairly simple. Kickstarter gets the upfront price down, but the Super Early Bird tier includes the Mini Charger rather than the larger PRO Charging Case sold through Ultrahuman’s own website.

I reviewed the Ultrahuman Ring Air back in 2023 and came away thinking the basics were already strong. It was light, the recovery and sleep tools were useful and there was no subscription to deal with. The weaker bits were comfort around the sharper edges and some uneven health data, so Ring PRO feels like Ultrahuman trying to move the hardware up a level with longer battery life, tougher titanium construction and a more serious charging setup.

The post Ultrahuman Ring PRO now has a cheaper Kickstarter route appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The slip was spotted by a Reddit user during Oura’s sizing flow, where the official sizing video instructed buyers to place “Oura Ring 5” on their index finger. Not Ring 4, Ring 5. Oura later changed it back to the current Oura Ring 4 version.

Why this supports our FCC filing view

This is not some random supplier rumour or a vague certification clue. It is Oura’s own customer-facing sizing video, built for people getting ready to buy a ring. That is usually the sort of thing prepared much closer to launch.

When we covered the FCC filing, the main question was the name. The paperwork showed new Oura ring hardware in late-stage certification, with model OA13 for the ring and OA14 for the charger, but it did not actually mention “Oura Ring 5.” That left a small possibility it could be a redesigned version of the current Gen 4 device. That now looks much less likely.

Of course, the latest leak still does not make it certain that Gen 5 is about to launch. But it does make the late 2027 timeline some media outlets were pushing much harder to square with the evidence. The 180-day confidentiality request in the FCC paperwork, points to early September 2026 as the outer deadline for hidden materials such as internal photos and the user manual.

What to expect from Ring 5

Earlier images of the Gen 5 device shared by Android Headlines showed a ring that stays close to the current Oura look, but with a slightly more rounded outer profile.

The images also showed a new Deep Rose finish, which appears to replace the current Rose Gold option. Other finishes shown in the leak included Gold, Silver and Matte Black.

The inside of the ring also looked different in those images. That suggests Oura has changed the internal layout, although the leak did not confirm what sensors or features may be different.

The FCC filing adds one more concrete detail. It included an OA14 charger with a refreshed square dock, so the charging hardware also appears to be changing alongside the ring.

The timing is what makes this interesting. One stray Ring 5 mention in a sizing video could be brushed off, but it lands right after the FCC paperwork we found. That makes the next few months worth watching, because Oura now has more than one breadcrumb pointing in the same direction.

What Zepp Health is accusing Oura of

The lawsuit was filed on April 21st in Texas, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. It centres on six patents.

These include patent US 8,781,610 for ball game motion recognition, US 8,989,441 for motion recognition data acquisition, US 9,729,693 for determining confidence in wearable sensor measurements, US 10,959,649 for stride length calibration, US 11,806,120 for health risk indicator determination using heart rate and motion data, and US 10,624,575 for sleep monitoring through microactivity states.

Some of these go back to Zepp Health’s earlier sports sensor days, particularly the motion recognition patents. Others are much more relevant to today’s smart rings, especially the ones covering sleep monitoring, signal confidence and health scoring.

That last group is where things get particularly relevant for Oura. Much of the company’s value comes from how it turns raw sensor readings into scores like Readiness, Sleep and recovery insights. If Zepp Health can successfully argue that key parts of that process overlap with its patents, the case becomes much more serious than a background legal dispute.

The counterpunch

There is important context behind this case because Oura has been aggressively defending its smart ring patents. It’s all part of a much bigger legal battle around who controls key technology in the smart ring space.

Last year, the US International Trade Commission opened an investigation after Oura filed a complaint against Zepp Healthh and other companies over alleged patent infringement. Oura argued that rival smart wearable devices were using technology covered by its patents.

This new Texas lawsuit looks very much like Zepp Health pushing back. It is now putting pressure on Oura by arguing that Oura’s own flagship products rely on Zepp-owned technology.

Samsung followed a similar path. Before the Galaxy Ring had even launched, Samsung filed a preemptive lawsuit in the US asking the court to declare that its device did not infringe Oura’s patents. After Oura later responded with an ITC complaint and a separate patent case, Samsung hit back with its own lawsuit in Texas, accusing Oura of infringing Samsung patents related to health tracking features. What started as a defensive move quickly turned into a full two way patent battle.h.

Our takeaway

The smart ring market is clearly no longer a niche category. Once companies like Oura, Samsung and Zepp Health start taking each other to court over patents, it shows these devices have become serious business, not just an interesting side category in wearables.

What stands out here is that both Samsung and Zepp Health appear to be reacting to Oura’s legal strategy rather than starting these fights themselves. Oura has been aggressive in protecting its patent portfolio, and both companies moved after finding themselves in its legal crosshairs.

Some smaller companies have chosen to back down and agree to royalty payments rather than fight through a long legal battle. Samsung and Zepp Health are in a different position. Both have the financial resources to push back.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, because the outcome could shape not just these companies, but how the entire category evolves over the next few years.

PVT2 suggests production is getting close

The first Production Verification Test happened at the end of March and exposed two main hardware problems. Some units were suffering BLE amplifier failures caused by possible ESD damage during assembly, while a change to the microphone waterproof membrane caused audio testing failures on certain devices.

According to Eric Migicovsky, both problems were fixed through changes to the assembly line. That has allowed the project to move into PVT2, which is usually one of the final serious checkpoints before larger scale manufacturing begins.

The current goal is to manufacture the first 2,000 Index 01 units by mid-May and start shipping them out from there. rePebble says it expects the full pre-order run to take around three months to complete, which would place the finish line somewhere around July.

Of course, that comes with the usual warning that delays can still happen. Still, compared to earlier uncertainty, this is the first timeline that feels reasonably specific. If things hold, early buyers should not be waiting much longer.

Brushed silver replaces polished silver

There is also a design update. The polished silver finish is being dropped in favour of a brushed silver option instead. Brushed surfaces tend to hide scratches better and usually age more gracefully than highly polished ones, so this may actually be the better long-term choice.

Customers with existing orders can switch colours through the rePebble order management page.

Software is starting to look far more interesting

The hardware update is worth noting, but the software side may be even more interesting. Alpha testers have been using early Index 01 units for the past few months, helping squash bugs across both iOS and Android.

Optional fully encrypted cloud backup has been added, along with local speech-to-text powered by on-device processing. Users can route audio or transcriptions to a webhook, which opens the door for direct integrations with AI agents like OpenClaw.

There is also Home Assistant support, plus integrations for Beeper, Notion, Apple Reminders, Google Tasks and Android music controls. Bring-your-own MCP server support is there too. More work is still coming, including a stronger UI and additional reminder app support like Todoist and Tasks.org.

The post Pebble Index 01 enters final testing as May shipping gets closer appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The patent was published on April 23, 2026, and the application itself was filed on October 21, 2025. It is also a continuation of an earlier filing from December 2023, which suggests this is an idea Oura has been circling for a while.

The interesting part is not just the screen. Oura is essentially describing a charger that becomes part of the product experience, especially around sleep and recovery, instead of being the thing you forget about once the ring battery tops up.

A charger that does more than charge

At the heart of the filing is a simple idea. Plenty of people wear a smart ring to track sleep, readiness and activity, but they still need to open the app to actually see the results. Oura’s patent tries to cut out that extra step by putting a display into the charger itself.

The patent says the charger could use different kinds of displays, including LED, LCD and OLED. It also goes further than that, describing holographic projection, so the charger could project data above the dock or onto nearby surfaces such as a wall or ceiling!

There is also a practical bedside angle running through the whole thing. The filing explicitly talks about users not wanting to grab their phone just before sleep or right after waking, since that can interrupt routines and pull them straight into a screen. From Oura’s point of view, the charger becomes a cleaner way to surface the most useful bits of data.

The bedside use case is the real story

One example in the filing says that when the system detects the user has woken up, the charger could show a Sleep Score and a Readiness Score. Another says that after a workout it could show an Activity Score, heart rate or respiration rate.

A charger that shows the right data at the right moment is a very interesting idea. It would also give Oura a way to make the ring feel more present in everyday life without adding a screen to the ring itself, which would bring its own tradeoffs in size, battery life and design.

The filing even includes a guided breathing example. In one scenario, the charger receives real time respiration data from the ring and projects calming visuals onto the ceiling to help the user fall asleep.

The diagrams also show optional components built into the charger itself, including temperature, humidity and noise sensors. That does not necessarily mean Oura plans to ship all of that in a future product, but it shows the company is at least considering a charger that understands more about the sleep environment around the user.

What this could mean for Oura

The obvious caveat applies here. A patent is not a product launch, and companies often protect ideas that never make it to market. Still, this one feels more grounded than the average blue sky filing because it builds directly on Oura’s existing strengths rather than pushing the company into a totally different category.

A smart charger with a simple display feels plausible. A smarter bedside dock that mixes sleep scores, charging status and a few contextual prompts also feels plausible. Ceiling projections and the fuller sensor packed version sit further out, but even those details show where Oura’s head is at.

Fresh FCC documents bring new hardware clues

An interesting detail in the FCC filing, submitted under FCC ID 2AD7V-OURA2602 and published April 8, 2026, is the appearance of two distinct model references, with the ring listed as OA13 and the charger as OA14. The documents also mention a commercial sample ring in size 13, which is a useful clue because language like that usually points to production-like hardware rather than an early engineering prototype.

The filing further references a dedicated square charging dock, broadly similar in form to the current Oura Ring 4 accessory. While the overall design and wireless charging technology appear familiar, the separate model identifiers suggest Oura is certifying updated hardware rather than simply refreshing paperwork for an existing product.

The timeline now looks much closer

The earlier leak suggested a late 2027 launch window for the Gen 5 device, which felt like a reasonable read then. The FCC documents now include a marked 180-day confidentiality request, which pushes the outer deadline for currently hidden materials such as internal photos and the user manual to early September 2026.

That does not automatically mean a launch in September. In practice, companies often release products before the confidentiality period expires, using that date more as a backstop.

All this means the earlier 2027 timeline now looks less likely. A launch in late summer or early autumn 2026 feels like the stronger reading based on the paperwork.

Could this still be a different ring?

Of course, there’s an important caveat.

It is worth keeping in mind because the naming remains unconfirmed. While it is tempting to connect this directly to the earlier Oura Ring 5 leak, the FCC documents don’t specify the name of the device.

All we can say with confidence is that Oura has a new smart ring in late-stage certification. Which leaves open two realistic possibilities. The first is that this may indeed be the device shown in the earlier leaked images and widely referred to as Oura Ring 5. But it could also be another future model, a revised version or a regional variant that has not yet been publicly identified.

Our takeaway

Regardless, the new FCC filing adds more substance to the earlier Oura Ring 5 leak and moves it beyond pure speculation territory. It gives the original report something much more solid to build on, namely new hardware identifiers, a refreshed charger design and a launch window that now looks far closer than the previously suggested 2027 timeline.

At the same time, the paperwork does not confirm the final product name, so it is still not possible to say with certainty that this is the device shown in the earlier leaked images. What the filing does make clear is that Oura has new ring hardware in late-stage certification.

A replaceable battery design

The newly granted US patent describes a wearable ring made up of two main sections. The inner portion houses the sensor system and core electronics, while the outer curved portion includes the battery housing. Crucially, the filing states that the battery is removable and may be configured so that a user can remove and reinsert it without compromising the functionality of the device. 

The patent also goes into more detail on how this could work in practice. It describes electrical contacts between the removable battery section and the main ring body, suggesting Oura is also protecting the way power would be transferred once the battery module is slotted back in. 

Oura also appears to be covering different ways the battery section could be secured in place. The filing references retention elements, sockets and coupling structures, which suggests the company is exploring more than one hardware approach for attaching and removing the battery module. 

The outer section itself is described as being made up of first and second sub-portions. In practice, this appears to be a two-piece curved shell that fits around the main ring body, forming the removable battery housing. 

Why this is useful

This could be a useful development for the smart ring category because battery ageing is one of the main factors that limits the lifespan of small wearables. Some Oura users have reported battery life dropping noticeably after a year or two, with devices that once lasted several days needing daily charging.

A removable battery design could offer a more practical long-term solution. Instead of replacing the entire ring when battery performance starts to decline, users may only need a new power module, which could also make repairs and warranty replacements simpler. For a premium device designed for continuous wear, that would be a useful change.

Of course, as always with patents, there is no guarantee this will appear in a commercial product. But this one is actually not a bad idea. It stands out because it tackles a very real issue for compact wearables: long-term battery life.

The post Oura may be working on a smart ring with detachable battery appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The screenshots suggest this is more than a simple headache log. Ultrahuman appears to be building out a fairly detailed migraine support layer inside the app

A new PowerPlug focused on prevention

From what is visible in the screenshots, Migraine Insights is built around the idea that the body shows subtle changes before an episode starts. The app explicitly mentions using the Ring’s biomarker data to surface these early signals.

That includes trends in heart rate variability, sleep patterns and recovery. Users are shown how these metrics relate to their headache history, with the app encouraging them to identify shifts that may precede discomfort. There is also mention of menstrual cycle phase tracking, which suggests Ultrahuman is trying to account for cycle-related migraine patterns as well.

This feels like a logical use case for a smart ring. Continuous overnight biometrics are one of the device’s strongest suits, and migraine sufferers often report that poor sleep, elevated stress and dehydration can all act as triggers. To remind, RingConn has recently brought out a similar feature – and it works fairly well.

More than symptom logging

A lot of headache apps stop at journaling symptoms after the fact. This one seems to go quite a bit further.

The screenshots show a full headache diary where users can log severity, duration, symptoms, pain location and medication use. There is also hydration tracking, personalised daily goals and smart habits such as sleep duration and water intake targets.

That last part is probably where this feature may prove most useful. Rather than simply recording that a migraine happened, the app seems to be nudging users toward habit changes that may reduce frequency over time.

The inclusion of an eight-week structured learning program is also notable. Lessons cover stress management, cognitive techniques, mindfulness and practical daily skills, with new content unlocking each day. Ultrahuman says the program is powered by Click Therapeutics, the company behind CT-132, which it describes as the first FDA-authorized prescription digital therapeutic for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine.

Monthly reports and what’s next

Another interesting part is the upcoming monthly migraine report. It appears designed to pull together biomarker trends, headache frequency, goal progress and lifestyle patterns into a single snapshot that can potentially be shared with a physician.

There is also an “in-the-moment migraine support” section, which hints that Ultrahuman may be planning live episode guidance rather than only preventive tools.

Overall, this looks like one of the more ambitious PowerPlugs yet. The company is clearly leaning into condition-specific health experiences, and migraine support is a sensible place to start given how closely symptoms can tie into sleep, stress and recovery metrics.
