The Prevention Circul+ is a smart ring that has many feathers on its cap. With an FDA-approved blood oxygen sensing, the accuracy sure is on point, but is it made to be worn 24/7? Can it stand frequent hand washing, a shower, or sweat during a good HIIT session, at least?
Is the Circul+ ring waterproof? Let us find out.
Is Circul+ Ring Waterproof?
The Circul+ is water-resistant and comes with an IP22 rating.
IP22 rating means the Circul+ offers very limited protection against water. Essentially, it can withstand water dripping at a 15-degree angle, meaning it is ‘anti-rain’. It also means the ring will be protected against fingers and objects larger than 12.5mm.

A light drizzle won’t affect the working; however, the ring will be affected by rain, washing hands, and a shower.
Can I Wear the Circul+ in Extreme Weather?
Not built for heavy water exposure, the Circul+ is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 45°C. This means I can easily enjoy a winter vacation or a summer hike with my Circul+ ring.

Wrap Up
If you’re looking for a wearable that can be worn for most of the day, withstanding daily chores such as hand washing, doing the dishes, and laundry, the Circul+ might not be the best choice.
Although it can withstand light splashes and extreme temperatures, I highly doubt it would stay without being splashed with water for more than a day on my finger. I mean, who needs an added chore to constantly remove and re-wear the ring while doing regular tasks? There are far better and more comfortable options available in the market, so if I were you, I would sit this one out.
