The Prevention Circul+ is a smart ring with FDA-approved blood oxygen sensing and a really cool function of automatic timing monitoring. This allows the user to start and stop sleep monitoring by setting a schedule to start tracking metrics automatically.
The Circul+ ring can track metrics for up to 12 hours continuously, post which it stops recording automatically. Here’s a quick guide on how to set up and use this feature.
Steps to Turn On the Automatic Timing Monitor Function On Circul+
To turn on the automatic timing monitor function on your Circul+ ring, follow these steps:
1. Open the Circul+ app and head to the Me tab at the bottom.
2. Under My devices, locate your Circul ring and tap on Connected.
3. Click the Periodic Monitoring column and select your start and end time before recording your sleep.
4. Toggle on ‘Enable’ and ‘Everyday’ if you want to schedule the monitoring for the same time every day.
Additional Tips:
- Ensure the ring has an ample amount of charge to last throughout the time set for monitoring.
- The monitoring mode does not require your phone to collect the data. However, it does need your ring to be placed near your phone in order to download the data recorded by the ring to the app.
- The ring can record the data for up to 12 hours continuously; therefore, make sure to connect the ring to the phone and let the data download; otherwise, it may not start monitoring normally next time.
- If the ring is placed on the charger or in the box at the time the monitoring is supposed to begin, it will affect the accuracy of the metrics recorded, and the report will be inaccurate.
Choosing a Monitoring Mode on the Circul+
In addition to the automatic timing monitor, the Circul+ allows the user to manually choose a monitoring mode, depending on the requirement. These are:
- Daily Mode: To monitor blood oxygen for less than 4 hours during the daytime.
- Exercise Mode: To monitor heart rate and steps during a workout.
- Sleep Mode: To monitor blood oxygen for more than 4 hours or overnight.
It is very important to press and hold down the ‘Start’ button until the mode gets activated; otherwise, you won’t be able to get any data. To end these modes, hold down the ‘Stop’ button once you’re done.
The ring will transfer the data recorded to the app, so it is important to keep the phone and ring close until the transfer is complete and the report is ready.
While in any of these modes, to see real-time data, all you have to do is keep your hand steady for about 30 seconds.

Wrap Up
Tracking health metrics has never been easier than now with the Circul+ ring’s automatic timing monitor function. Considering the look and design of the product, I would personally only wear it at night for its medical-grade sleep-tracking qualities, and it would let me track the same without manually needing to activate it every time.
With manual modes as well as automatic, Circul+ ensures seamless tracking, be it during the day, at the gym, or while sleeping.
