Leep Ring review: A sleep-first smart ring

Best Prices Today: Leep Ring 1

The Leep Ring is another subscription-free smart ring that wants to beat the likes of Oura, Samsung, Ultrahuman and more. To tempt you, the ring is cheaper and chooses to prioritise some metrics over others.

Currently only available for iOS users, the Ring promises strong tracking accuracy, an app you’ll want to spend time in and a battery life that won’t have you slinging it into the charging case every few days.

There’s no getting away from the fact that smart rings are still pretty expensive. Even the ones without subscriptions. While not exactly a budget smart ring, the Leep Ring is definitely more affordable than the competition, coming in at just £169/$199.

So could you save yourself some money and still get a great ring experience? I’ve been wearing the Leep Ring (aka Leep Ring 1) for a couple of weeks to find out.

Design & Build

• Available in 3 colour finishes
• Comes with portable charging case
• Waterproof up to 50 metres depth

The Leep Ring opts for materials that pretty much every other smart ring uses. That’s a titanium outer shell with a hypoallergenic inner. There are currently two finishes available – Starlight Silver and Midnight Blue, with a Moonlight Gold version due in April 2026.

It’s a pretty simple-looking ring with an indent on the outer to indicate where the sensors should lie on your finger. At 2.6mm, it’s thankfully not too thick. It also weighs in nicely light and helps to forget that it’s there most of the time.

Leep Health offers a free sizing kit to make sure you get the best fit, with sizes 6-14, covering most finger sizes. It hasn’t picked up a lot of noticeable scratches during testing, which is pleasing to see.

That’s not always been the case with other rings I’ve tested. Particularly, the Ultrahuman Ring Air and Oura’s rings with longer-term testing. It’s also good to see that it’s waterproof up to 50 metres depth, which does make it suitable for swimming and showering. I’ve done both things while wearing it without issue.

When you need to charge it, there’s a portable charging case to drop it into. It’s not as small or dainty as RingConn or Samsung’s portable charging cases, but I think cases are a far more convenient way to charge and a lot more difficult to misplace compared to the dock kind.

Fitness & Tracking

• Tracks sleep, daily activity, mood and temperature
• iOS compatibility only
• Articles and tips to promote healthier behaviours

The sensors the Leep Ring uses are pretty much the same ones found inside most other smart rings.

That’s an optical PPG sensor to track heart rate, heart rate variability and SpO2 levels. You also have a skin temperature sensor and a motion one to track activity like steps and detect when you’re asleep.

That data is stored inside the Leep app, which, as mentioned, is currently only available for iPhone users, though an Android app is apparently in development.

That app is free to use and is certainly one of the cleanest apps I’ve seen from the emerging band of Oura rivals. 

It puts sleep data on the first screen, followed by stress and then a homescreen to see all data in one place. There’s also a section dedicated to movement, with the last tab on the app dedicated to articles focused on adding context to the data that the ring tracks. These cover subjects such as sleep anxiety or the impact of taking sleep supplements.

From a tracking accuracy point of view, the Leep has performed well. For sleep, I’ve been wearing two other sleep trackers alongside it and sleep data like sleep duration and sleep stage breakdowns told a similar story about my night’s sleep. It’s been similar when pinpointing stressful periods during the day that can offer clear prompts if you need to take some time out and de-stress.

When it’s tracking your movement, daily step totals were roughly in the same ballpark as two other fitness trackers. You’ll also see additional stats for time spent in different heart rate zones and active minutes registered during the day. Unlike other rings, there isn’t the ability to manually track workouts. You can connect it with Apple Health to lean on data sources from other fitness apps you might be using.

I really like the look and feel of the app, more so than a lot of apps from pricier smart rings. It’s an app that’s nice to dip into and give you a clear sense of what your stats are telling you.

My testing wasn’t immune to issues, sadly.

I did experience some syncing issues – similar to the Circular Ring Slim – which do now seem to have been quickly resolved with an app update. If the bugs can be kept to a minimum, there’s a very likeable and capable ring and app here.

Battery Life & Charging

• Up to 8 days of battery life
• Charging case offers 60 days battery

The Leep Ring offers a battery life performance that means it can compete with other big-name smart rings. It’s impressive for such an affordable ring.

It can last for up to 8 days, matching the Oura Ring 4. It can hit that 8-day mark as well.

Leep Health opts for a charging case instead of a charging dock and that feels like a smart decision. That way you can charge the ring while on the move instead of having to find somewhere to plug it in.

You’re getting a lot of additional charge from that case too. It’s up to 60 days total battery life for the ring. That will make sure the Leep Ring goes far, even if it’s not the most compact smart ring charging case available.

Price & Availability

The Leep Ring launched in January 2026 with a launch price of £169/$199, making it one of the more affordable smart rings available.

That makes it a considerably cheaper buy the Oura Ring 4 (from £349/$349), Samsung Galaxy Ring (£399/$399), Ultrahuman Ring Air (£329/$349) and the RingConn Gen 2 (£299/$299).

You can find other smart rings at a similar price to the Leep Ring, such as the Amazfit Helio Ring (£150/$170 reduced) and the Renpho Lynx smart ring ($229).

There’s no subscription to pay for here, so you are just paying for that ring alone.

Should you buy the Leep Ring?

If you’re looking for a subscription-free smart ring and an affordable outright price with a good sleep tracking performance and a thoughtfully put-together companion app to review and make sense of your data, the Leep Ring is one worth taking a look at.

Hopefully, the bugs experienced are just a one-off, because that would be the one aspect I’d be wary about.
