RingConn (Hong Kong) Limited, the company behind the smart ring brand 'RingConn,' held a new product launch event on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at Spiral Hall in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, to unveil its AI smart ring 'RingConn Gen 3.' Amid growing public interest in sleep and health management, smart rings are gaining attention as wearable devices that seamlessly integrate into daily life. RingConn Gen 3 was introduced as a new product featuring subscription-free continuous use, approximately 10–14 days of battery life depending on usage, and 24/7, 365-day monitoring of sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, respiration rate, skin temperature, stress, and activity levels.

The event also announced that professional figure skater Shizuka Arakawa has been appointed as RingConn's brand ambassador. The company explained its strategy for communicating product value and building consumer engagement in the Japanese market. This launch not only introduced a new product but also presented a clear roadmap for future domestic expansion with a visible brand face.

## Professional Figure Skater Shizuka Arakawa Appointed as Brand Ambassador

At the event, it was announced that professional figure skater Shizuka Arakawa has been appointed as RingConn's brand ambassador. Arakawa, known for consistently managing her physical condition throughout her career, was selected for her strong alignment with RingConn's vision of a lifestyle that naturally monitors daily health and sleep without strain.

Arakawa took the stage to participate in a talk session about her experience with smart rings and daily condition management. The session served as an opportunity to convey the value of smart rings as tools that help individuals become aware of their physical state and pay attention to changes in sleep and health.

### Comment from Professional Figure Skater Shizuka Arakawa

"During my competitive years, improving performance was the top priority. Now, I focus on maintaining good condition sustainably, rather than pushing myself too hard. The most impressive aspect of using RingConn Gen 3 was gaining insights into my sleep and fatigue patterns that I hadn't noticed before. For example, I thought I was fine one day, but the data showed I hadn't actually rested well. Because it's a ring, I can wear it naturally without needing to think about it, and I can check my daily condition effortlessly. For those of us who often put ourselves last in our busy lives, I hope this becomes a starting point to first understand and care for ourselves."

## Opening Remarks by Benjamin Lin, Global Sales Channel Lead at RingConn

Benjamin Lin, Global Sales Channel Lead at RingConn, delivered the opening remarks, explaining the development background of RingConn Gen 3 and the company's expectations for the Japanese market.

"The global wearable health market is projected to exceed $500 billion by 2035, with health awareness shifting from 'treatment' to 'prevention.' The Japanese market is also expected to reach $17.34 billion by 2034, making it a growing market. RingConn has achieved approximately 300% year-on-year growth, with cumulative sales surpassing 800,000 units, and is available in over 190 countries and regions. Our founding principle is the question: 'Health management should be more natural.' Rather than addressing issues after they arise, we've pursued a system that helps users notice subtle bodily changes in daily life. We are honored to bring RingConn Gen 3, a product that embodies this philosophy, to the people of Japan."
