Overall its been good for my wife so far except for when we first got it. We let it charge for 1-2 hours and then connected it. After connecting we went to bed because we wanted to see her first night metrics the next morning. Well, after we first connected it, it apparently removed itself from the app and within roughly 8hrs the battery drained from 100% to ~60%. I don't understand how the ring was not synced with the app given it was able to give us the battery read out but thats what it said. Had to do a factory reset and so far it seems to be fine but just kind of annoying that I've purchased 2 rings back to back, one for myself and one for my wife, and we have both had issues with them right out the gate. I will be receiving the wrist band activity tracker in a day or 2 and if it gives me an issue as well im just going to return all 3 devices and be done.
As a cyclist, I’ve become increasingly interested in understanding what my body is actually doing—not just how I feel on any given day. That’s where the QALO QRT Slim Ring has become a really useful part of my routine.
One of the things I appreciate most is how easy it is to use. The ring is slim, comfortable, and unobtrusive enough that I can wear it throughout the day and while I sleep without really thinking about it. The app is just as straightforward. The interface is clean, intuitive, and makes it easy to get to the information I actually care about.
For me, one of the most valuable metrics is my sleep score.
There are mornings when I wake up and don’t feel particularly rested. My first instinct might be to assume I need to back off my training. But then I look at the data the ring collected overnight, and sometimes it tells a different story.
That doesn’t mean I’m going to blindly follow a number and ignore how I feel. But having objective data alongside how I feel gives me another piece of the puzzle.
And sometimes, that’s all I need.
I don’t want to base every workout decision solely on how I feel when I wake up. Feelings are important, but they’re also subjective. Having actual data gives me something more concrete to consider when deciding whether it’s a day to push, maintain, or recover.
I also really appreciate that I can access the data I’m collecting without paying for a subscription.
That’s a big deal to me.
I’m already paying for the device. I don’t love the idea of having to pay another monthly fee just to access the data that device is collecting about me. With QALO, I can use the information from my ring without adding another recurring subscription to the list.
At the end of the day, I don’t need a wearable to tell me how to live or train. I want something that’s easy to wear, easy to understand, and gives me useful information that I can actually apply.
That’s what I’ve found with the QALO QRT Slim.
It quietly collects the data. I check it when I want to. And over time, those little pieces of information help me better understand my body, my recovery, and ultimately how I approach my riding.
The ring doesn't fit the way that I liked it to. I also ordered a larger ring to see if that would work and that one is way too big. I don't like that for me to return a product that I spent a lot of money on i should have to pay to return them.
