RingConn's Premium Deal With BVB Women

The partnership makes RingConn a premium partner of the Borussia Dortmund women's football team. The collaboration is built around the Own Your Rhythm concept, which encourages people to look beyond outside expectations, listen to their bodies and tune into their natural rhythms. RingConn's smart-ring technology provides insights into personal health data, helping users understand their bodies and rhythms over time.

Under the collaboration, some Borussia Dortmund players will receive RingConn Gen 3 smart rings for permanent use. The partnership is intended to integrate health technology into the players' daily lives, with a focus on individual mindfulness and personal wellbeing. RingConn said the partnership reflects its belief that health awareness is not limited to specific moments or routines, and that small, consistent insights can help people become more familiar with their bodies over time.

"We are delighted to welcome RingConn as a premium partner of our women's football team," said Svenja Schlenker, managing director of Borussia Dortmund. "Our players are characterized by commitment, individuality and a strong connection to their bodies, and that is exactly what this partnership promotes. Listening to your own body and understanding your own rhythm helps everyone perform and feel good, on the pitch and in everyday life."

RingConn's Gen 3 Sales and Sports Adoption

According to akta.pro company records, RingConn launched the flagship Gen 3 Smart Ring globally on May 29, 2026, with pre-orders from May 5, introducing vascular health trend tracking, haptic alerts and a 14-day battery. The device generated over $10 million in sales within its first 20 days. The same records show that athletes from the German Ice Hockey Federation are early adopters of the Gen 3, using it for health monitoring and recovery tracking, and that the adoption serves as a reference case for professional sports usage of RingConn's health technology.

RingConn's Run-Up to the Dortmund Deal

RingConn received FDA 510(k) clearance for non-invasive blood oxygen measurement, clearance No. K260490, PR Newswire reported in October 2026. The device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices, enabling U.S. market expansion. In September 2026, RingConn showcased its Gen 3 Smart Ring at IFA 2026 in Berlin, where it won the IFA Innovation Award and six other recognitions, according to PR Newswire. The product drew strong visitor interest, and RingConn is available at nearly 150 offline locations, with plans for broader European distribution.
