Thanks for your reviews Dave. I just got this ring from AliExpress and must admit I wasn't expecting much, but the ring is actually way better than I feared. The LED dispay is perfectly readable and the ring itself looks good - I got the black version. Mine came with a charging box which an amazing array of colourful LEDs while charging. For the cost, you really can't argue.
The display just sold it to me. I like the functions of smartwatches, but don't like wearing them. This is the ticket! Do you have any of the other color options? I ordered silver.
Are you coming back to the R08 ring now you've had it for a while? I've just taken delivery of one and look forward to comparing its stats with OnePlus 2 Smart Watch.
Ordered it with charging case. I hope it also counts steps. Hope in the future Xiaomi will bring out a smart ring where you can pay with, scan qr codes and take calls.
Dave, I just downloaded the JRing App. Also, I have just ordered the R08 ring. But, the JRing App. doesn't store the "heart rate and SPO2" data. Does the JRing App only store "step count, distance, and sleep" or am I missing something?
@@DaveTheKayaker Fantastic, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks You for putting my mind at ease. I purchased a BP Fit watch and wear it daily. I don't like wearing it all day. So, with the RO8 ring, I can wear my ring all day and only wear my BP Fit watch when I want to measure my blood pressure. Once again, thank you and have a great New Year.
Dave, I just received my SR08 Ultra smartring (01/14/25), and cannot get it to bind (pair) with the JRing App. I followed the instructions by first charging it (100% charge). I downloaded the JRing App to my Samsung Flip 6 phone. I opened the App, with my ring within inches of the phone. But, each time I tap the "bind" menu on the JRing App. I get the following error message: "Can't find your device. Try charging your device". I double check my ring for charge status and it shows 100% charged. All the demo videos seem to skip the actual pairing process and just show the app after being successfully paired. I wish I could find a video that actually shows the pairing process so I can discover "if and/or what I am doing wrong" while trying to pair the ring and app. One, more question, I noticed the "LCD / OFF" display alternates. Is that the place to turn on and off the display to conserve battery life? The manual is not clear about how the user can turn on and off the display. Any suggestions you have would be much appreicated.

Hope you do a follow up with size/fit, does it share the info with the phones health app too and lastly NFC?
Danke für den ausführlichen Bericht. Ich habe ihn bestellt und bekomme hoffentlich bald. Frohes Fest
Hows the sizing of it??😮
Does it work with Samsung S 23? Does it also have NFC availability? The ring looks cool.
Is there NFC?
How did you find sizing to be?
I think they run about 1 size small.
Ordered it with charging case.
I hope it also counts steps.

Does any ring have phone notifications? Can I control my phone? e.g. to scroll through the screen

Wait until you pair it with the ring. It stored both parameters in the app for me.

How long is the battery life?
I got at least 3 days.
do any of the smart rings vibrate to give phone notifications?
None that I am aware of.
(still) Too power hungry.
Use the Ring the other direction... You can read the Display better and Press the bottom with the thumb.
You are a genius.
@@DaveTheKayakerIf I'd want to wear it on my right index finger.
Can I flip the display upside down?
