Smartwatches dominate, but smart rings could be the next big thing in health monitoring

Oura Ring Gen 3 hands on.

With a plethora of wearables in the market, can passive smart rings compete with more active devices like smartwatches and fitness bands? Or is this just a passing trend that will eventually lead nowhere? According to analysts, smart rings have their place in the wearable market but may not be the smartwatch replacement many are looking for.
