Circular Launches Ring 3 Series with Contactless Payments and Vibrating Alerts
Circular has unveiled its new Ring 3 series, offering two models: a Pro version with advanced health-tracking features like atrial fibrillation detection and an FDA-cleared ECG sensor, and a more discreet Slim model that lacks AFib monitoring but retains essential metrics such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels. Both versions include contactless payment capabilities via NFC chips and vibrating alerts for reminders and breathing exercises. The Ring 3 Pro features titanium construction, improved battery life of up to 12 days, and a wireless charging case capable of recharging the ring multiple times before needing an outlet. The Slim model is lighter with a biocompatible epoxy inner structure but offers slightly reduced functionality compared to its counterpart. Pricing details have not yet been announced, though availability is expected in early 2027. The new smart rings represent Circular’s continued push into wearable health technology and lifestyle integration, aiming for both medical utility and convenience.
