## Can it do this?

- **Do I need a subscription?** No. There is no subscription at all. You pay $349 once and every feature in the app is included, which over three years works out about $210 cheaper than the same period on an Oura membership. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-do-i-need-a-subscription))
- **Does it measure blood pressure?** It shows trends, not numbers. Gen 3 reads vascular-health patterns over time rather than giving you a single blood pressure reading. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-measure-blood-pressure))
- **What does it cost?** It costs $349, and that is the whole cost. Nothing is held back behind a membership. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-what-does-it-cost))
- **Does it read blood glucose?** No. There is no glucose sensor in the ring. Glucose still needs a skin patch, which no ring carries. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-read-blood-glucose))
- **Does it track sleep apnea?** It screens you overnight for the risk of sleep apnea. RingConn has no FDA clearance for that screening, so treat a flag as a prompt to see a doctor. If you want screening that is FDA-cleared, the Samsung Galaxy Ring has it at $399. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-track-sleep-apnea))
- **Does it have GPS?** No. There is no GPS in the ring, so route and distance come from your phone. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-have-gps))
- **Can it get wet — shower, pool, swimming?** Yes. RingConn rates Gen 3 to 100m, so the shower and the pool are both fine. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-can-it-get-wet-shower-pool-swimming))
- **Does it work with my phone?** Yes. It works with an iPhone or an Android phone, so you are not locked to one phone platform. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-work-with-my-phone))
- **How heavy is it?** It weighs 2.5 to 3.5g, and the exact figure depends on your ring size. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-how-heavy-is-it))
- **What colours does it come in?** It comes in five finishes: Brushed Rose Gold, Brushed Silver, Future Silver, Matte Black and Royal Gold. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-what-colours-does-it-come-in))
- **What is it made of?** It is made of titanium, giving the ring a metal body while keeping its weight between about 2.5g and 3.5g. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-what-is-it-made-of))
- **What ring sizes does it come in?** It comes in US sizes 6 to 15, which is the widest range in the RingConn line. Order a sizing kit first, because it does not fit like a jewellery ring. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-what-ring-sizes-does-it-come-in))
- **Does it work with GLP-1 medication?** No. Gen 3 has no GLP-1 mode. If tracking a GLP-1 is the reason you are buying, Oura Ring 5 has a dedicated one, at $399 plus the membership. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-work-with-glp-1-medication))
- **Does it take an ECG?** No. There are no electrodes in the ring, so it cannot take an ECG. That is a watch feature rather than a ring one. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#can-does-it-take-an-ecg))

## Questions

### RingConn Gen 3 vs Oura Ring 5 — which should I buy?

Buy RingConn Gen 3 at $349 if cost matters most and you do not want a subscription. Oura Ring 5 starts at $399 and adds blood pressure signals through its Health Radar system plus AI-enabled care, but its full health insights need a $5.99 per month (or $69.99 per year) membership on top of the ring price. RingConn also lasts longer between charges: up to 14 days versus Oura's up to 9. RingConn wins on price, haptics and battery life. Source: [RingConn](https://ringconn.com/products/ringconn-gen-3). ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#faq-ringconn-gen-3-vs-oura-ring-5-which-should-i-buy))

### What is new in RingConn Gen 3 vs Gen 2?

Three main upgrades: a built-in vibration motor for finger alerts, blood pressure insights added through a software update, and two new finishes, Brushed Silver and Brushed Rose Gold, joining the existing colors. Ring sizes also expanded from 6-14 to 6-15. Source: [RingConn](https://ringconn.com/blogs/news/gen-3-smart-ring-blood-pressure-alerts).

### Does RingConn Gen 3 require a subscription?

No. RingConn has never charged a subscription and Gen 3 continues that policy. All features including blood pressure insights, sleep tracking, HRV, and haptic alerts are included with the one-time $349 purchase price. Source: [RingConn](https://ringconn.com/products/ringconn-gen-3). ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#faqs-does-ringconn-gen-3-require-a-subscription))

### How accurate is RingConn Gen 3 blood pressure?

RingConn is explicit that Gen 3 does not measure blood pressure clinically. It monitors patterns to identify vascular health trends and cannot replace a blood pressure cuff or medical readings.

([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/ringconn/roadmap#faqs-how-accurate-is-ringconn-gen-3-blood-pressure))

### What does the RingConn Gen 3 vibration motor do?

The vibration module delivers alerts on your finger without your phone nearby: health-pattern changes, sedentary reminders, and low battery. RingConn has not shipped alarm functionality.
