At Computex 2025, Acer is making a lot of announcements and unveiling its first connected ring. While the Galaxy Ring hasn't necessarily brought about a revolution in this segment, the Taiwanese manufacturer has decided to try its luck with the FreeSense Ring.
The FreeSense Ring stands out with its elegant and discreet design, made of ultra-light titanium alloy (2 to 3 grams depending on the size), and is available in two colors: rose gold or black. It has a 5 ATM (IP68) waterproof rating, making it perfectly suited for everyday use, in the shower or at the pool.
A concentration of technology in a titanium ring... without a subscription
Acer's connected ring offers various health features, starting with heart rate monitoring and heart rate variables. It can also track blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and analyze sleep quality. All collected data is accessible via a companion mobile app, which uses artificial intelligence to offer personalized recommendations on the user's well-being and health.
Unlike some competitors, Acer promises full access to all features without any subscription fees, a strong argument against some specialists who reserve certain advanced analyses for their paying subscribers. Even Samsung wouldn't rule out offering a subscription with the Galaxy Ring.
Many details are still missing, starting with its price and availability. It's also unclear whether the ring supports NFC for contactless payments. Acer announces that it will be available in seven sizes and should soon have more details.
For now, the FreeSense Ring is positioning itself as an alternative in the world of connected rings. It also confirms the manufacturer's desire to diversify, as evidenced by the announcement of other connected objects boosted by AI. In addition to the ring, Acer is unveiling AI translation headphones capable of performing real-time bidirectional voice translation in 15 languages.
