There are more smart rings on the market than ever before. But no matter what, it seems like nothing can stop the Oura Ring.
If there is one product category that’s experiencing a big boon right now, it’s the smart ring. The first smart ring to hit the market and really take off was the Oura Ring. The current Oura Ring Gen 3 has been available since late 2021, and it’s quickly become the default smart ring of choice.
The biggest reason I wear an Oura Ring is for sleep tracking. I have and wear an Apple Watch Ultra, and though I’ve gotten accustomed to the size during the day, it’s still bulkier than I’d like when going to sleep. That’s where a smart ring comes in — it’s far less intrusive to wear to bed than a smartwatch, and once you get used to it, you pretty much forget it’s there.
The Oura Ring is also great at actually detecting if I’m moving, similar to my Apple Watch Ultra. Even if I don’t log a workout with my Apple Watch, the Oura Ring detects when I’ve been walking for a period of time and keeps logs of that in the Oura app. It’s one of the best things about the Oura Ring. I often forget that it’s there, but it’s always logging everything for me without me even needing to do anything — and with accuracy I can depend on.
Movano’s design for the Evie Ring is unique and comfortable, but none of that really matters when it offers such skewed health data and barebones workout features. For what was supposed to be one of the better Oura Ring competitors, the Evie Ring was a real letdown. Didn’t understand most of those terms? Yeah, most normal people don’t. Further, Ultrahuman doesn’t really explain what everything is, the significance of the data, or why you should care about these things in the first place. You get three number ratings for your movement, sleep, and recovery, like the Oura Ring, but there’s still a lot of extraneous data that just isn’t presented in the most user-friendly manner.
Again, those extra features will come in the future, but as of right now, the RingConn is still considerably more basic than the Oura Ring.
