Circular Unveils Ring 3 Series with Contactless Payments and Health Features
Smart ring company Circular has announced the upcoming release of its Ring 3 series, which includes a Pro model and a Slim option. Both models feature contactless payments via NFC chips, on-finger vibration alerts for reminders and health notifications, and advanced biometric tracking capabilities. The Ring 3 Pro offers FDA-cleared ECG monitoring, blood pressure trend analysis, glucose tracking, sleep insights, and up to 12 days of battery life—up from seven days in the previous model. The Slim version is a more compact option with essential health metrics like heart rate, HRV, SpO₂, skin temperature, and activity tracking. It offers up to 10 days of battery life and targets users who prefer a streamlined design without all advanced features. Both models are made from titanium steel, have wireless charging support, and water resistance up to 50 meters. The launch comes amid growing competition in the smart ring market with recent releases like Oura Ring 5 and RingConn Gen 3. Circular CEO Amaury Kosman emphasized that the new designs aim to cater to different user preferences while maintaining a focus on fashion, convenience, and essential wellness insights.
