Ultrahuman also plans to scale production to 500,000 smart rings annually. The facility is in partnership with SVtronics and has been operating since November 2024.

“With expansion plans underway, the facility aims to serve 100% of US demand for the Ring Air and will soon scale its production to more than half a million units annually,” the company said in a statement. No date was given for the change.
President Donald Trump’s administration is imposing tariffs on imported goods from other countries, so the Texas-made products would not face such tariffs.
The Ultrahuman Ring Air first came out in June 2023, and the company teamed up with Verizon to be the first carrier to sell a smart ring. The light ring, which costs $349, is available for iOS and Android and uses sensors to track sleep, recovery, stress levels, caffeine intake, calories burned, steps and women’s health issues, including ovulation.
CNET chose the Ultrahuman Ring Air as the best smart ring for fitness enthusiasts, while also noting that the ring is thicker than competitors, and its app interface could be better designed.
