Rogbid SR16 smart ring: titanium build, touchscreen, $79

Rogbid has launched the SR16 Smart Ring, a $79 wearable pitched as a wallet-friendly alternative to premium options like the Oura Ring 4 and Ultrahuman Ring Air. The ring pairs a titanium build with a touch display and gesture controls, and it promises up to 30 days of standby time.

Building on last year’s SR08 Ultra and SR10, the SR16 weighs just 3.5 grams, measures 8 mm in width and 2.5 mm in thickness. Its touchscreen lets you quickly check the time, heart rate, step count, and sleep stats. When connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, it shows caller ID, while display brightness is adjusted through Rogbid’s companion app.

For health tracking, the Tianyi 3918H sensor enables continuous monitoring of heart rate and blood oxygen, along with heart-rate variability, stress, and sleep stages. Rogbid’s app doesn’t match Oura or Ultrahuman for depth of analytics, but it covers the core features needed to keep tabs on well-being.

Gesture controls let you take photos and skip tracks. Charging is handled by a magnetic connector with short-circuit protection, delivering up to five days of active use. The SR16 comes in black, silver, and gold, and in seven sizes from 8 to 14. Taken together, the titanium build, touchscreen, and capable feature set at a modest price position the SR16 as one of the most appealing choices among affordable smart rings.
