In a market increasingly saturated with wearables, Noise's Luna Ring stands out with its slim, minimalist design and an intriguing blend of fitness tracking features. While smart rings have been around for a few years, Noise’s entry into this space is particularly notable for its development right in India.
Let’s dive into what makes the Luna Ring an interesting choice for those looking to upgrade their tech accessories without sacrificing style or comfort.
A tailored approach to sizing and fit
Unlike most fitness bands and smartwatches, the Luna Ring requires a precise fit, as resizing is not a DIY task. To make this process easier, Noise offers a sizing kit to help users select the perfect ring size. Though Noise suggests wearing the ring on the index finger, users frequently switch it between index and middle finger, depending on comfort.
A design to admire
Measuring just 2.8 mm in thickness, the Luna Ring’s slim design gives it a sleek, unobtrusive appearance that’s both functional and stylish. Available in Stardust Silver, Lunar Black, and Midnight Black, it caters to a variety of tastes while maintaining a high-end, understated aesthetic. Beneath its elegant exterior lies a range of sensors integrated into a flexible circuit board, all housed in a waterproof casing. While the idea of a smart ring isn’t entirely new, the Luna Ring brings a refreshing, locally designed alternative to the table.
Seamless setup and interface
Getting started with the Luna Ring is simple. Upon placing it on its charging dock, the ring quickly pairs with the companion app on your smartphone. The setup process is straightforward, with the app requesting basic details such as your weight, height, and gender to personalize your health metrics. Once paired, the app offers an easy-to-navigate interface, with key information like activity levels, sleep scores, and readiness all clearly displayed.
Health and fitness tracking is smart yet subtle
The Luna Ring's key selling point is its ability to monitor your health without being intrusive. As someone who typically avoids wearing a fitness tracker to bed, the Luna Ring’s sleep tracking feature was a revelation. It effortlessly detects sleep patterns, breaking down nightly rest into various stages, including deep sleep, REM, and light sleep. It also gives insights into sleep efficiency and latency, which allows users to understand how restful their sleep truly was.In addition to sleep, the ring tracks your daily activity and provides a Readiness Score to gauge how prepared you are for the day. This score takes into account both your activity levels and sleep quality over the past few days, offering an at-a-glance measure of your overall readiness.
Tracking activity step counts and more
While the Luna Ring automatically tracks steps and heart rate, it doesn't automatically detect specific activities like running or cycling. For these, users have to manually enter workout details into the app, such as the duration, intensity, and type of activity.
When it comes to battery life, the ring is longevity on your finger
The Luna Ring even after three full days of use, still has about 14% of its charge left. The charging dock is simple to use, though it doesn’t come with a power adapter—any standard USB adapter will work. The ring takes roughly an hour to charge completely, making it a low-maintenance device in terms of power.
Noise’s debut in the smart ring market with the Luna Ring is an impressive one. Its minimalistic design and intuitive tracking features make it an appealing option for those looking for a smart wearable that doesn’t compromise on style or comfort. Whether it’s accurate sleep tracking, the convenience of a readiness score, or the solid battery life, the Luna Ring proves itself to be a functional, stylish choice for health-conscious individuals.
