- Firmware -Update 3.11.0 Coming to RingConn Gen 2 and Gen 2 Air Rings
- It automatically adds training detection to the devices
- Training data is now also presented more clearly
Thanks to Firmware Update 3.11.0, RingConn Gen 2 – and Gen 2 Air – users can finally take advantage of a feature that should have been available at the launch: Automatic Training Detection.
Once you have turned it on in the feature management section of the app, your ring says it will be able to automatically detect training that is 10 minutes or longer – and RingConn promises that the technology can automatically monitor activities such as running, walking, cycling and more.
Training tracking was previously available, but you had to remember to log training manually, which was easy to forget (more about it for a moment), so this will be a serious game change for smart ring users.
The update is also said to improve the information you get out of the training screen. You will see a cleaner overview of your heartbeat, the energy you have used during your workout and how this is divided into the length of your exercise.
You can even see how many steps you took on your turn – so granular insight is not limited to just your most extreme sessions.
Little detail but a big thing
I was a serious champion for my RingConn Gen 2 Smart Ring; I only stopped carrying it for months as I have become a gym and the ring gets in the way of my grip.
But I still wear it from time to time and continue to appreciate its subtle, yet stylish form factor combined with its long battery life.
However, training tracking was its greatest weakness.
When I tested the ring, I forgot to log about half a dozen workouts before, starting a race, I finally remembered to activate the training in the app. Since my review, I may have only used the feature a handful of times.
This automatic detection – if effective – will be a game election.
Ringconn Gen 2 was the ideal tracker for casual users – people who want to monitor their sleep (and sleep apnea), step -counts and heartbeat, but are not too bothered by more intense training. This automatic detection means that the ring must be more appealing to people who like to go for a regular jog and want to trace their efforts exactly.
It’s so exciting that I’m back to carry my RingConn Gen 2 – especially on days when I plan to go a race – to take advantage of this automatic detection.
More to come
This is not everything from RingConn.
In IFA 2025, it showed that its Gen 2 rings were used for blood pressure tracking, and although it is not quite ready for a full public launch, a beta is said to fall once soon.
We will have to wait and look exactly when it is launched – and when a fully re -spotted version is ready for us to use – but maybe I will have to go back to carry my smart ring much more regularly (and just remember to take it off during my gymnastics sessions).
