Ultrahuman appears to be gearing up for its next smart ring, the Ring Pro, following the halt of Ring Air sales in the United States amid a legal dispute involving Oura. In a recent company blog update addressing that situation, Ultrahuman said a new ring design was in development and would arrive in the U.S. as soon as possible.
Fresh reports suggest the Ring Pro could be nearing launch. The upcoming wearable is rumored to feature a slimmer profile than the Ring Air, paired with upgraded sensors aimed at boosting the accuracy of key health metrics such as heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO2). These enhancements could appeal to users looking for more precise health and fitness tracking in a lighter, more comfortable form factor.
One standout rumor is support for contactless payments via NFC. A trademark filing from July 2025 that names the Ultrahuman Ring Pro references “downloadable computer software for use in contactless transactions with retailers, merchants, and vendors via mobile and wearable devices.” While that strongly hints at NFC payments, Ultrahuman has not officially confirmed the feature yet.
As for timing, expectations point to a launch window of late 2025 or early 2026, with early 2026 looking more likely given the current calendar. In the meantime, the Ring Air remains available in Europe, where it’s currently listed around €379, though pricing can vary by retailer and promotions.
Rumored highlights of the Ultrahuman Ring Pro
– Slimmer design for improved comfort and wearability
– Enhanced sensors for more accurate heart rate and SpO2 readings
– Potential NFC support for contactless payments (not yet confirmed)
– Expected release window: late 2025 to early 2026
If these details hold, the Ring Pro could mark a significant step forward for Ultrahuman’s smart ring lineup, especially for users who want accurate health tracking in an elegant, everyday wearable. Keep an eye out for official confirmation on NFC payments, sensor specs, and U.S. availability as launch approaches.
