GoKawiilUltrahuman, maker of the smart, health-tracking Ultrahuman Ring Pro and Ring Air, announced on Monday that it's returning to Kickstarter with an exclusive Ring Pro bundle. In 2022, the Ultrahuman Ring launched on Kickstarter and raised over $500,000, demolishing its $10,000 funding goal. Now, Ultrahuman is offering early-bird discounts of up to 43% on the third-generation Ring Pro. That ring launched in 2026 after the company was cleared to resume selling in the US following a patent lawsuit with Oura, maker of the Oura Ring.
As of Tuesday evening, over $168,000 has been pledged, exceeding the original $10,000 goal.
What you get on Kickstarter
Along with the titanium smart ring, early Kickstarter backers receive a mini charger, a charging cable and $130 worth of PowerPlugs, which are add-ons that let you access different health metrics in the Ultrahuman app. The three PowerPlugs, which normally cost $130 when bought together, each include a one-year subscription. The Cardio Adaptability version checks how your heart responds to stress, activity and rest; Respiratory Health detects snoring and nighttime breathing disturbances while you sleep; and Cycle and Ovulation Pro offer menstrual cycle tracking.
Before your ring ships, the company sends out a sizing kit so you can measure your finger. The ring comes in four finishes: gold, silver, black and raw titanium (matte silver).
As of Tuesday, 250 backers have already claimed the most affordable $299 Super Early Bird offering at 43% off full price, so that reward tier is no longer available. Five other rewards remain. The cheapest option is the $349 Early Bird, which gives backers 34% off full price. There are two rewards for couples who want double the Ring Pro, mini chargers and PowerPlugs. All will ship in June 2026.
Ultrahuman's health features, called PowerPlugs, focus on longevity, performance, sleep and women's health. Ultrahuman
Ultrahuman's rings are also available on its site
Kickstarter campaigns are typically reserved for products that need funding to launch. That's what makes Ultrahuman's Kickstarter confusing. The Ring Pro is already available for preorder on Ultrahuman's site, where it says shipping starts May 15.
A representative for Ultrahuman did not respond to a request for comment.
