One major omission from the software is the ability to track workouts. At the moment, only outdoor running is available. Outdoor walking, indoor running, and outdoor cycling are all listed as “coming soon.” Additionally, all (including outdoor running) are listed as being in beta. That’s not ideal, for sure.
As important as everyday health metrics are, exercise tracking is of equal importance to many people, so not having this at launch is a real miss. Without exercise tracking, you would have to have a secondary device that can track your workout, which defeats the purpose of the smart ring. So if you’re looking to completely replace your smartwatch, and exercise tracking is important, the RingConn Smart Ring will not do the job for you at the moment, which is definitely a bummer.
It’s also noteworthy that the selection of exercise tracking that is coming is also pretty weak. Most fitness bands and smartwatches are capable of recording dozens of different kinds of workouts.
In this case, all the data is there — Presumably, it’s just a matter of crossing the finish line with the software.
