Wearable technology has constantly evolved in recent years, becoming increasingly a part of our everyday lives. But RingConn has come up with something revolutionary—introducing RingConn Gen 2, a smart ring that brings a whole new level of functionality and convenience. This ring is a stylish accessory and your personal health assistant.

Order the sizing kit

The first step to the perfect ring

Buying a smart ring like the RingConn Gen 2 is an investment in technology, comfort, and style. The process starts with choosing the right size to ensure your ring fits like a glove and becomes an integral part of your life. The first step toward this goal is ordering a sizing kit—a package that allows you to determine exactly what size ring is right for you.

In the sizing kit, you’ll find nine sizes of plastic rings that you can try on the fingers where you plan to wear your new ring. This step is crucial, as the right size will ensure not only comfort but also the precise functioning of all the smart features of the ring. You should try on each size and wear the plastic ring on your chosen finger for at least one day to see how the ring performs during your day’s activities.

Personally, I set aside more time for this process because I wanted to test the ring not only during leisure activities but also at work. This approach gave me a more thorough idea of how the ring would sit during the various situations and stresses my fingers are exposed to daily. After a few days of trying and thinking, I found the right size to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.

However, the sizing kit package does not include trial ring sizes. It also includes a sample of the surface material that will be used to coat your future ring. This detail is significant because the ring's finish determines its appearance, durability, and feel. Three elegant options are Matte Black (matte), Future Silver (glossy), and Royal Gold (glossy). Each of these colours has a unique style and brings a different vibe.

I personally opted for the Moonlit Silver variant. This choice proved ideal for my needs, as the silver finish combines a modern look with a versatility that I appreciate in both professional and leisure settings.

The whole process of selecting the ring's size and finish is practical and fun. Thanks to the sizing kit, you can be sure that your new smart ring will fit you perfectly and that its finish will match your expectations. This is how your unique RingConn experience begins — from the first step.

Waiting for delivery

After ordering the ring, which I had carefully selected using the sizing kit, it was time to wait for its delivery. Although I was anxious about how the new smart ring would look and function in real life, I knew a few weeks of free time could help pleasantly shorten that wait. Therefore, I decided to combine the pleasant with the useful and go on holiday to the picturesque Luhačovice.

Luhačovice is one of the most beautiful spa towns in the Czech Republic, famous for its mineral springs, clean air, and beautiful architecture. Upon arrival, I felt the peace and tranquillity that this place offers. After a busy period full of work commitments, I couldn’t wait to immerse myself in the atmosphere that Luhačovice has to offer.

My first day in Luhačovice started with a walk along the colonnade, where I had the opportunity to enjoy the famous mineral springs such as Vincentka or Aloiska. Each spring has its specific taste and healing properties, so I chose a few that appealed to me the most, and I returned to them regularly during my stay. I was surprised by how calming the city was — its picturesque streets, parks and friendly people created the perfect relaxing atmosphere.

I spent the following days exploring the surrounding area. Luhačovice is surrounded by beautiful nature, which I decided to explore on foot. I went on several hikes in the nearby surroundings, where I could admire the beautiful forests, peaceful meadows and picturesque town views from the surrounding hills. I was most excited about the hike to the dam, which is only a few kilometres from town. Here, I enjoyed relaxing in the water, surrounded only by the sounds of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Of course, I did not miss the cultural experiences that Luhačovice offers. I visited the spa house, where I enjoyed traditional spa treatments. Baths in mineral water, massages, and other treatments helped me perfectly relax my body and mind. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit the local theatre and cultural house, where I attended several concerts and performances. The cultural programme in Luhačovice is rich and offers many opportunities to enjoy your evenings.

I also had plenty of time to think about my new ring during my stay. I was looking forward to wearing it and thinking about how it would serve me during my daily activities. Thanks to my holiday in Luhacovice, the wait for delivery seemed much shorter and more pleasant.

As the end of my holiday approached, I was filled with the energy and tranquillity that Luhačovice had provided. Returning to everyday reality was much easier, thanks to this relaxing break. Shortly after my return, I finally received my new ring. I was thrilled to have been able to indulge in such a great holiday while I waited, and now I was ready to take full advantage of all the features my new smart ring had to offer. Luhačovice helped me find the inner peace and balance I needed, and now I could look forward to the next technological step in my life.
