It just doesn't quite do enough to topple the best rings out there.

India-based Noise's second-generation Luna turns to AI in an attempt to stand out from the growing number of connected rings. It uses machine learning to offer advice on workouts and help you make better nutrition decisions. While the number of smart rings available is still relatively small, there are already some strong subscription-free options out there. Does the Luna Ring Gen 2 make a strong enough case to be another one you should put on your finger? Here's how things played out when I slipped on the Luna Ring Gen 2. Design & Build Available in five colour finishes Comes with portable charging case or a dock Waterproof up to 50 metres The Luna Ring Gen 2 has similar design traits to many other smart rings. It's made mainly from titanium, with a non-allergenic moulding on the inside where you'll find the all-important sensor bump. Mike Sawh How you choose to charge the Luna Ring will impact on how much you pay for the ring overall. The pricier option is to grab it with the pretty portable charging case (pictured). You can also opt for the dock charger to save some money (detailed pricing is below). If you want to take it for a swim, the 5ATM rated design means it can survive submerged in water up to 50 metres depth. I've worn it in the shower, in the pool, and even in heavy downpours, and the Luna has survived all of those scenarios. Fitness & Tracking Tracks step, sleep, heart rate, and stress Free Luna app available for iOS and Android LifeOS insights and guidance There are some pretty standard smart ring sensors in play here that take care of monitoring your data. That includes continuously keeping tabs on heart rate and daily step counts. A green optical sensor is present to cover heart rate tracking, a red one for blood oxygen monitoring, and there's also room for a skin temperature sensor. Movement tracking is covered by a 3-axis accelerometer. Mike Sawh Next up is activity tracking, where you'll be able to see daily step totals, distance covered, calories burned, along with displaying contributing factors to your overall activity score. The daily step totals didn't look wildly out from other fitness trackers. If you want to track a workout, you can do that manually. Runners and keen walkers also benefit from automatic workout recognition, which has worked pretty reliably in my testing. Then there is Luna AI, which you can view as your hub to learn more about the metrics this ring can track, as well as setting up workout and diet plans. There's also a daily digest feature, which neatly outlines some of your key data points and what they're telling you. Generating workout and diet plans is very ChatGPT in approach and right now, it doesn't feel hugely personalised or compelling to use. Battery Life & Charging Up to 5 days battery life Charging case offers 30 days battery Fully charges in 120 minutes I've managed to get roughly 5-6 days of battery life out of the Luna Ring on a single charge. That's what's quoted by Noise, so it does at least meet those claims. That's still short of the battery life you will get from the Oura Ring 4, Samsung Galaxy Ring, and RingConn Gen 2. You'll see notifications from the app when it gets low to make sure you don't get caught short on battery.
