Acer Launches Innovative FreeSense Smart Ring at Computex 2025

Early Verdict

The Acer FreeSense Ring is the company’s first-ever smart ring, with the AI-powered wearable delivering biometric tracking, health and sleep monitoring and even personlized insights in a lightweight titanium desgin — all without a subscription fee. Here’s its price, release date and my thoughts.

The Acer FreeSense smart ring is not something I’d expect from a company that specializes in laptops, monitors and even electric bikes, but there it was being showcased at Computex 2025 — and I got a chance to check it out.

Acer’s first-ever smart ring comes with all the health monitoring features you’d expect from the best smart rings, including health, sleep and fitness tracking, AI-powered insights and a lightweight, durable design with up to seven different sizes (in both Black and Rose Gold colorways).

But there’s one key feature that sets it apart from its major competition in the Oura Ring 4 and Samsung Galaxy Ring: price. There’s no subscription fee to get full access to all your health data, and it’s available starting at $199. Already, the FreeSense Ring offers a lot of value.

Can this smart ring tango with the best wearables around? After a brief demo during Acer’s showcase in Taipei, here’s what I learned about the Acer FreeSense Ring.

Acer FreeSense Ring: Price and Availability

Talking to a representative, I was told the Acer FreeSense smart ring will be available for around $199 to $250, and it’s set to be released sometime in August.

The price is still being worked out, but this is the ballpark Acer is aiming for. At $199, this places it at the same cost as the Amazon Helio Ring, which is the best value smart ring on the market right now.

In addition to being subscription-free, the FreeSense Ring has a lot going for it, but this isn’t just due to its pricing.
