Really enjoyed the ring
I’ve had this ring for a few years now. I like the freedom of using a ring for tracking instead of a bulky band. There are a few issues I’ve had. I don’t like to have my ring constantly trying to sync to my phone. I don’t keep Bluetooth on unless I’m actually using it. There’s no way to tell the ring to only sync manually. Over this past year I’ve noticed a huge drop in battery life. What usually was fine for 3 days is now a day and a half tops. Less than a day if I’m super active. Now that Motiv is no longer there isn’t anyone to contact regarding this. I’ve had to buy extra chargers second hand just to have a charger with my at my house, desk and car. Lastly now I’m having issues with my ring syncing properly. It will constantly blink after it’s connected and then turn off. The only work around is to place it on the charger and constantly monitor the app until it’s synced. I hope the new company will consider improving this ring but I think ultimately it’s going to end up as dead tech.

Do not buy!!!
I bought this ring years ago when they first came on the scene. Customer support was great back then. I had to get a replacement ring and had no problems. Back then.
Lately the app seems buggy, all my years of info has completely disappeared, I am unable to sign in and there is absolutely no support! The phone number is disconnected, the website is all but dead only offering a user manual. They promise to keep app support but there is none to be found. My guess is this new company called Proxy is phasing out this brand completely. I just think it’s rude to do so with no warning or communication with the customers you acquired with the merger. That looks like bad business Proxy! Feel free to contact me if I am incorrect! Although I am content with my purchase since I was able to get years of use, I would highly NOT recommend purchasing this product now!

Support issue
I was super happy about this tool, I was looking for a small tracker that would not be a wrist version so I could continue to wear my watch. It was perfect, and did just what I needed it to do.
I’ve been having issues with it for about 6 months, with the ring not capturing all data for the entire day and the battery draining very quickly, in less than the time suggested by the developer.
So I recently contacted the company for support. This was, unfortunately for me, after the 1 year warranty.
They were responsive and tried to be helpful by email in giving me some troubleshooting options, which I followed, but mentioned in each reply that they would not be able to replace my unit due to the 1 yr warranty.
I was over the warranty by 3.5 months, and could not get a real solution to my problem.
Most recently, for 4 days back to back, the ring has not logged any activity whatsoever even at 100% battery charge. This is now at 16 months of wearing it., 4 months past the warranty.
So my recommendation to new owners is to make sure you contact the company right away if you have issues, within the warranty timeframe, because after that, there’s not much they will do for you. And this was not cheap.

A nice idea
I purchased a ring about 18 months ago after much debate. The first ring I had stopped working a couple months after having it and customer service was sort of quick in helping me get a replacement ring which also worked a couple months before it stopped working. Third ring arrives and lasted about a year and started to work intermittently. No more heart and kept telling me I would walk 88 steps each day and was stuck on 84% charge even after a normal charge time. Customer service was slower to respond (Covid-19) and explained that since my original ring was purchased more than a year ago- the replacement ring was not covered under any replacement plan.
It’s a neat idea and when it worked it worked pretty good- but think I will wait before I purchase another Motiv.... needs some tweaking I think.

Improving app or hardware?
Loved my ring when I first got it. Now it doesn’t hold charge, to the point where it will die while I’m sleeping so my sleep isnt being tracked accurately. Syncing is hit or miss. I’m spinning and spinning and spinning my ring like 30+ times before it starts to sync manually.
Absolutely no improvements in the app even after filling out surveys they send. Like another user posted, why can’t we just manually input my time versus having to drag the bars which is hard to do? Workouts on the app don’t ever load so I’m not even sure why that’s there. Notifications barely work and honestly with all the competition out there, notifications don’t tell me much nor are they motivating me to move.
Eventually I may need to retire this ring although I LOVED it at the beginning. The hardware I get, normal wear and tear since Im wearing to the gym and use weights and machines (it went from matte black to shiny black), but Im just not sure if there is any effort to at least make the app better.

An elegant, stealth-health wearable.
I have a rose gold version on my little finger. It gives you most of the data you would get from a wrist wearable and is far far less bulky. If you like that idea or think that watches should look more like Cartiers and less like g-shocks, you will bond with the Motiv immediately.
Parenthetically, on my first date with my now fiancee, I noticed she was wearing a grey Motiv. She started to give me what was no doubt a frequently rehearsed explanation. I held up my finger wearing my Motiv. She got wide-eyed and grinned. That's when I first knew we were going to be special. We're getting married in June.

Great activity tracker and ring!
I really enjoy the rain I have. It tracks my heart rate very well and also allows me to check my sleep. It syncs up well with Apple’s heart rate monitor app and provides valuable sleep information to other apps.
It really does last about three days on one single charge, and does not take very long to charge at all.
The only thing I would remind people as that it is made of titanium and it can’t scratch if you are working out with weights, so cover it and some sort of protective tape if you want to avoid scuffs and scratches.
I’ve put this thing through the “ring-er” and I just love how waterproof and useful it actually is. I don’t have to worry about taking care of it or taking it off when I go to wash my hands or take a shower

Great little fitness ring
I’ve had this room for over a year and I’ve found it very comfortable to wear. It tracks my steps accurately, my beats per minute, and my sleep pattern. I find that beats per minute really useful during my tennis matches; it’s fun to track my bpm during my physical activity. And this little ring can take a beating because I wear it during my matches.
I had to return my previous ring because it had a technical problem or something and MOTIV was great at assisting me in this process of exchanging it. I wish they had a phone number so you can speak to somebody but they will respond over email, just don’t expect an immediate response. But I had hardly any issues with it.
The rose gold ring color is nice but a bit dark, I hope they carry more colors in the future. It’s comfortable to wear and the demo ring fitter is a great idea it helps you pick the right size and everyone should definitely do that before you purchase your ring.
The app is useful and displays good info. I’ve never used any other fitness trackers so I cant compare it to others.

Best Product and Support
I am one of the first group of users of this exotic ring. I want to give my honest review. The original ring came with short battery life, and the Motiv people acknowledged it. But they replaced the ring with short time lapse. I had been wearing the new ring for less than a year. However, it stopped functioning abruptly a week ago. I emailed Motiv, and they would send me a replacement; their engineering team will figure out what was the cause. The ring had been tracking my activities with accuracy.
I played tennis (three to four days, each time two to three hours) and the ring recorded every my bodily pulses, including active minutes, steps, miles, calories, and heart beating. I connected with my iPhone’s Application, and it gave my heart beat with original graphic renderings. Also, it showed my sleeping pattern: it told me my restless minutes.
I strongly recommend the Motiv Ring: it works for tracking all activities. You do not have to remind yourself how to record your pulses. It does for you.
And importantly, the Motiv has the ”Best Customer Service.” They are there to support you. You can trust them.

Married to my ring
I am on my second ring, and in spite of a few glitches, I love my ring. I enjoy the wearability, the function, and the idea of not having to wear a larger piece to track my activities.
I went so far as to match a pair of stacking rings on either side of the black ring. I frequently get asked about the unusual combination, which gives me a chance to taut the ring.
Kudos to the service department for handling any complaint I have had , and replacing my first ring when something went wrong. All in all I am quite pleased with the technology.
I would ask that they add Housework as a choice of activities, instead of using “other”...

Amazing and talkworthy device
I’ve had a Motiv for over a year now and I intend to keep one into the future. I have nothing to do with Motive personally, professionally or financially; I’m commenting strictly as a user.
First, it is a very convenient and consistent tool for me to measure progress in heart rate, RHR and sleep. It also adequately measures steps.
Second, it’s a conversation starter. I’m sure sometime soon it will be as ubiquitous as other similar devices, but Motiv really got something right by going to the ring configuration. When I show people what it is, they are always fascinated and impressed. It says that I’m tracking and using new technology.
Lastly, I think it integrates with my iPhone in some sort of feedback process to power the ring’s measurements. Not sure; hazarding a guess. Ingenious if true. It’s clever, consistent, useful and talkeorthy.

Exceptional service and quality!
My husband and I bought rings at the same time. A year later my husband’s ring was still going strong but mine would not hold a charge beyond an hour. I loved the ring and the app so much that I went ahead and ordered and paid for a new one. At the same time, I told Motiv support about the issue. They responded immediately, refunded my purchase, and sent the new ring all within one day! I am impressed with any company that cares this much about the customer experience.

Great product & app!!
Love my motiv ring!! It is one of the only fitness trackers I found myself actually wearing continuously. Customer service is GREAT! They were more than willing to help me out with my issues and make up for it. After all the, the ring is not cheap at $200 but Motiv has proven to be a very trustworthy company so I believe the cost of the product is well worth the investment.
App is designed very well, my only suggestions would be to have the app keep track of health stats so that we can monitor our progress over longer periods on time. Also, an online fitness/health community for motiv users would be awesome!

Best investment in my health
I tell everyone about this ring from friends and coworkers to baristas. After over 18 months wearing the ring, I’m still excited about tracking my activity. The app makes it easy to see progress and goals - and that helps motivate me to keep moving. With this motivation, I lost more weight than I expected. Tracking my heart rate is also helpful for other health issues. I’m hoping the app will soon graph total minutes week over week so I can also track what weeks/months I stayed most active And continue to improve upon my commitment to my health. Thanks!

Fantastic Product
I’ve had my Motiv Ring for a while now, 3 months I think. It’s been great. It’s small and subtle, less flashy than a smart watch, which is really nice. Battery life remains stable at about 3 days from 100% until 0% charge. The biggest issue I’ve had with the ring is the scratching. I don’t know whether it’s just paint or if the metal is wearing weirdly, but as I go through life, building things, fixing things, (and yes) breaking things, the bottom of the ring has scratched to a silver. I have the black ring, and the wearing doesn’t look bad (I actually kind of like it) but it may be an issue for others. Only realizing now that this is supposed to be an app review... oops.
The app is great! The user interface is friendly, intuitive and handsome. The ways in which Motiv categorizes the data is really insightful, and the step-tracking is great! Bluetooth sync is easy and painless, although there is sadly no way to force-sync from the app. Only from the ring itself. All-in-all, really happy with both the product and the app!!!

Totally in Love ❤️❤️❤️
I love my Motiv ring. It’s everything that I need in a fitness tracker. It’s lightweight. It tracks my steps. It monitors my heart rate. It’s also tracks my sleep. Best of all, it’s a RING!!! I can wear a watch again!! I have used their customer service and not have had any issues with them whatsoever. The app I’m still learning about but it does have a premium area that has workouts for you. I don’t use it so I can’t say anything about it. But it’s there for those who might need it. Motiv should give me a job because I tell everyone how great this ring is!!! Thanks!

First Product Review I’ve ever given
The only thing that rivals the Motiv Ring is Motiv’s customer support. They are readily available, responsive and it’s just a tremendous testament to this company. The ring itself is awesome. I’ve taken it underwater, climbing, running, fishing, clamming, helicopter skiing in some pretty narly conditions and temperatures...and it’s more comfortable than a wedding band. This is the first product review I’ve ever given on a website but I’m blown away on all fronts. Other than a standard ring, this is the only thing I’ve ever been able to wear for any considerable amount of a time (13 months and counting. A full charge will last you 4 days in my experience but you could easily get a days worth of charge in the same amount of time it takes to shower.

Best piece of ‘jewelry’ I’ve ever owned!
I’m just over 40 now, with a stressful but mostly sedimentary job. I am not a fan of sporty wrist bands and watches. And I don’t need the see my phone msgs on my wrist. I needed a health tracker I would wear regularly. I’m still a newbie using the Motiv ring, but it was simple to sync to my iPhone once I received it. And truth be told. I have only taken it off to charge it and to shower! The order process was thought out well considering the trial set they send so you can find a good fit. Wearing the ‘trial’ ring for 24 hours is definitely well advised.

Convenient and Easy to use for HR and steps
I really like my Motiv ring for its convenience and how easy it is to wear during a workout and sleep. I’ve seen some of the bad reviews and think they are a bit harsh. The ring may not be perfect but it’s relatively consistent and the battery lasts for 2-3 days depending on how often You synch it. A few scratches if u are wearing it 100% but they are hard to see in my rose gold ring and I’m using the ring for health and not fire fashion anyway (rose gold is more coppery in color and darker then I imagined but I can live with it). Overall it makes me more aware of my sleep and heart rate which is good.

Motiv is great
I really like the Motiv ring. It counts my steps and is calculating my sleep hours perfectly. The Fitbit never could get my sleep recorded. I was not impressed.
The Motiv has been a wonderful tool for me. My personal thanks to the inventors.
One thing though I would love to be able to have the data sync with the Weight Watcher application. I have told fellow members about this ring and that is one of the questions I get Can it sync with Weight Watcher tools? I have to tell them no and it does turn them off to the Motiv ring.
