In late February, Ultrahuman announced its latest smart ring that promises up to 15 days of battery life on a single charge. Sadly, if you lived in the US, you weren’t able to pre-order the Ring Pro, as the company is locked in a long-running legal feud with Ring rivals Oura. However, the situation now appears to have been resolved with the blessing of US Customs and Border Protection. As a result, pre-orders for Ring Pro begin today, with the first 1,000 customers to sign up receiving a hefty bonus.
The smart ring market is still in its infancy, which means it is highly competitive as companies try to keep their rivals at bay. Market leader Aura is ready to defend its IP in court by issuing patent lawsuits against Ultrahuman, Samsung, Ringcon, Reebook, Circular, Zepp, Nexbase and Omate. In October 2025, Ora won a “decisive legal victory” over Ultrahuman, banning the import and sale of its rings in the United States. On its own website, Ultrahuman said the lawsuit lacked merit, and was an attempt by a competitor to fend off a “new entrant” with a “better product.” Still, the company’s Bhuvan Srinivasan told me in January that the Ring Pro is designed to avoid any such legal drama going forward.
The standard price of the Ring Pro is $399, but you’ll have to spend an extra $100 for the fancy schmancy charging case that adds a lot more to Ring’s arsenal. But, for those 1,000 early birds, you’ll be able to purchase both the Pro and its case for $349, which is a pretty steep discount all told. However, if you are a subscriber of 1,001, don’t be too disappointed, as Ultrahuman will still offer you some kind of discount if you are early.
