Ultrahuman is back in the United States — and it's arriving with its most advanced ring yet. After the company's Ring Air was banned from US sale in October 2025 following an ITC patent ruling in favor of Oura, Ultrahuman has spent the past five months engineering around the disputed patents with an entirely new product: the Ring Pro.

What's New in Ring Pro

  • 15-day battery life — up from 4–6 days on the Ring Air, enabled by a new dual-core processor with aggressive power management
  • 250 days of on-ring data storage — health data stored directly on the device, not just in the cloud
  • Redesigned HR sensor array — improved accuracy for heart rate and HRV
  • Titanium unibody construction — single-piece machined frame for durability
  • On-device ML — real-time processing without requiring phone connectivity

Pricing & Availability

Ultrahuman is offering the Ring Pro for $349 for the first 1,000 customers (compared to $479 retail). Pre-orders are open now, with shipping expected in May 2026.

The Patent Battle Continues

Oura responded to Ultrahuman's re-entry saying the CBP ruling is "narrow" and applies to only one patent; broader litigation in the Eastern District of Texas is still ongoing. Oura also has active cases against Samsung, RingConn, Reebok, and Circular — signaling it intends to aggressively defend its IP across the smart ring market.

Comparison note: The Ring Pro's 15-day battery claim would put it far ahead of the Oura Ring Gen 4 (7 days) and Samsung Galaxy Ring (5–6 days). We'll be testing this in a full review once units ship.
