Most smart rings on the market right now share the same basic design: a plain metal band that quietly collects health data in the background. Rogbid is trying a different approach with its new SR15 Ultra. Instead of relying entirely on a phone app to show you your daily stats, the SR15 Ultra includes a small built-in display and a vibration motor for notifications.
Rogbid SR15 Ultra Specifications
The addition of a screen is the most obvious departure from the standard smart ring formula. By tapping the digital display on the outer edge of the ring, you can check the time, your daily step count, real-time heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep data, and the remaining battery life. It’s a practical addition for people who just want to check their basic metrics quickly without having to pull out their smartphone and open an app.
Despite the screen, the ring maintains a standard wearable form factor. It is constructed from a titanium alloy to keep the weight down and comes in Black, Silver, and Gold finishes. Sizing ranges from US 8 to 14.
Alongside the display, Rogbid has managed to fit a haptic motor inside the chassis. You can set the ring to vibrate for incoming phone calls, text messages, social media alerts, and silent alarms. Additionally, the device supports basic gesture controls. You can use specific hand movements to interact with connected smartphone apps, which allows for things like scrolling through short-form video feeds hands-free.
For health tracking, the SR15 Ultra covers the usual metrics you would expect from a modern wearable. It monitors heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO2) continuously, tracks heart rate variability (HRV), and logs light and deep sleep stages overnight. All of this data syncs to a companion app over Bluetooth 5.2, which works with iOS 10.0 and newer or Android 9.0 and newer. Rogbid also does not charge a monthly subscription fee to view your historical health data or fitness reports.
The ring is rated IP68 and 5ATM for water resistance, meaning it is perfectly fine to wear in the shower, while washing hands, or during a swim. Battery life is fairly standard for this category, lasting up to five days on a single charge. However, it ships with a magnetic wireless charging case that holds about seven extra charges, pushing the total time away from a wall plug to around a month.
Pricing and Availability
The Rogbid SR15 Ultra is available now through the company’s online store. It is currently priced at $99.99.
In related news, Rogbid recently introduced the GeoX2 smartwatch, featuring dual-band GPS, military-grade durability, and up to 15 days of battery life.
