Kiss my ring, Apple Watch! I've swapped to a smart ring for health tracking – and won't be going back

The Ultrahuman Ring Air on an index finger.

I bought an Apple Watch a few years ago when life was easy... well, relatively. I needed my 10K walks logged, heart rate monitored and sleep tracked, so I picked up the Apple Watch SE 2 instead of going full fat. It was all I needed, but the sleep tracking was the most important for me as I haven't been a 'good' sleeper for yonks – I consider four hours of sleep a good night.

Then I hit that time in a woman's life that can bring about rather uncomfortable experiences – perimenopause. It's also an uncomfortable topic for some people but, for me, 'uncomfortable experiences' is putting it mildly as my symptoms have been quite severe. From worsening sleep patterns to several hot flashes a day, even mood swings and brain fog – it's a roller-coaster ride.
