Circular Unveils Ring 3 Series with Contactless Payments and Vibrating Alerts
WHY IT MATTERS
The Ring 3 Series offers users a convenient and hands-free way to make payments and stay on top of their health and wellness, potentially improving daily routines and reducing the need for separate devices.
What happened
Circular has announced its new Ring 3 Series, a follow-up to the Ring 2 that debuted at CES 2025. The Ring 3 collection includes a Pro model with upgraded health-tracking features, such as FDA-cleared atrial fibrillation detection, and a smaller Slim option with limited stats tracking.
Both versions feature vibrating alerts for alarms, medication reminders, and guided breathing exercises, as well as an integrated NFC chip for contactless payments.
The Ring 3 Pro has a slimmer design than its predecessor.
