Ultrahuman has been on a roll in 2024, so much so that its latest wearable, the Ultrahuman Ring AIR, now has a 30% share in the smart ring market (as of November 2024).

The company’s success is thanks to its non-subscription-based model and a continuous stream of free updates via the PowerPlug setup, which helps you customise plugins on your wearables.

These updates expand the Ultrahuman ecosystem’s capabilities, addressing everything from sleep and fitness to screen time and environmental tracking.

Let’s not forget about the ScreenTime PowerPlug, which promotes digital mindfulness by tracking active screen use and offering personalised suggestions to curb overuse.

Ultrahuman’s platform now also enables you to customise your heart rate zones based on your fitness levels and goals. This feature was previously reserved for larger wearables like running watches.

You can buy the Ring AIR directly from Ultrahuman for $349/ £329 (approx. AU$548.20). Find out more about the Holiday Update here.
