Circular unveils Ring 3 series with contactless payments and on-finger vibration alerts

“We understand that not everyone wants every health feature,” Circular CEO Amaury Kosman said in a company announcement, shared with TechCrunch via email. “Many people simply want a beautifully designed, fashionable smart ring that delivers essential wellness insights and effortless contactless payments. That’s why we created Circular Ring 3 Slim—a lighter, more streamlined experience that retains the convenience of secure NFC payments while offering the core health tracking features many users want in an incredibly compact design.”

The on-finger vibrations, which are available on both models, can be used for silent wake-up alarms, medication reminders, vital health alerts, and guided breathing exercises.

Both of the Ring 3 models are made from titanium steel, feature 50-metre water resistance, and support wireless charging. They will be available in sizes 6-14. As with the Ring 2, the new smart rings will be available in gold, rose gold, silver, and black.

Pricing and preorder information for both smart rings will be announced in the coming months, Circular said. The rings are expected to become available in early 2027.
