Aivela Ring Pro

Previously showcased at IFA Berlin last year and then debuted on Kickstarter soon after, the new Aivela Ring Pro is now being showcased here in Las Vegas during CES 2026.

Aivela Ring Pro is a smart ring that aims to do two jobs at once: act as a control input for your devices, and run an always-on set of health and wellness features.

The core pitch is screen-free interaction, with touch commands and in-air gestures designed to replace some of the fiddly taps you usually do on a phone.

Key Features
  • 8 touch commands plus 6 air gestures for screen-free control.
  • Miniature OFN sensor for touch and gesture recognition.
  • Always-on AI health and wellness features including sleep tracking and real-time fitness metrics.
  • Personalised podcast-style AI coaching with no subscription fees.
  • 2.7g aerospace titanium build, 7-day battery life, 30-minute charging, and IP68 water resistance.

On the interaction side, the brand says Aivela Ring Pro combines eight touch commands with six air gestures. It is powered by a miniature OFN (Optical Finger Navigation) sensor, which enables precise, screen-free inputs such as swipe, tap, and scroll-style controls.

With these controls, the ring can operate your phone, earbuds, camera, and other connected devices, including controlling music, switching videos, flipping slides, and taking photos.

Health and wellness are the other half of the story. Aivela says the ring includes an always-on suite of AI-driven features, including sleep tracking and real-time fitness metrics.

The brand also lists 13+ health metrics, including HR, HRV, SpO₂, stress, and METs. Coaching is also positioned as a headline feature: users will get personalised, podcast-style AI coaching delivered via voice playback, with two AI coaches.

The big selling point, and something that is going against the trend of its rival wearables, is that there are no subscription fees, with full access to features “forever”.

In terms of hardware, the brand lists an ultra-light 2.7g build in aerospace-grade titanium, plus a 7-day battery and 30-minute charging time. Water resistance is stated as IP68.

Aivela Ring Pro supports both Android and iOS platforms and is fully compatible with Apple Health, Google Fit and Strava.

The Aivela Ring Pro is priced at $299 and is available now on Kickstarter.

Ahead of CES 2026, Aivela has already secured 5,000+ Kickstarter backers.
