If there’s one wearable that’s absolutely taken the world by storm, it’s the smart ring. First popularized by Oura, smart rings can track almost everything a smartwatch can, but in a more discreet, fashion-forward form factor. I love that I can track my sleep without having to wear a bulky watch to bed, and still wake up to insights on my heart rate, recovery, and overall readiness.
Oura faced its stiffest competition yet when Samsung launched its Galaxy ring last year, boasting Samsung Health integration, a subscription-free model, gesture support, and a battery life of up to seven days. It tracks everything from sleep stages and resting heart rate to skin temperature, blood oxygen levels, and menstrual cycles.
