To this day, I can count on one finger the number of smart bracelets that provide a single-line ECG in such a small package. Bodimetrics’ Circul+ debuted in 2021, but what it had in heart-monitoring features didn’t have the style, or look, of a real ring. Today at CES 2025, however, Circular is showing off its second-generation ring that promises to keep an eye on your heart health.
We had a chance to check out the rings today at CES Unveiled and they really shine. They feel remarkably light. The sensor nodes inside the ring are visible when you first slide the ring on, but after a minute or so of wearing it, it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing the ring at all.
The circular says the Ring 2 boasts improved sensors and the aforementioned ECG, eight-day battery life and a better wireless charging dock. The company added that its operating system and AI have been completely redesigned to provide an “intuitive and refined user experience.” Not to mention that the body is now cast in titanium with four color finishes; Gold, Silver, Black and Rose Gold.
This latest generation doesn’t have the vibration featured in the first generation Circular rings, but the company’s founder told us that the vibration will return in future iterations. For now, the second-generation rings should hit store shelves in February or March 2025, but the company says it will cost you $380 if it does.
