If you want to avoid the annual temptation to upgrade your tech, then the smart ring may be the wisest buy you'll ever make.
The temptation to upgrade any piece of mobile technology annually is always there, as new versions and updates are introduced regularly. It’s always great to have the latest model, but it’s expensive, slightly wasteful, and becoming more unnecessary all the time to change regularly. You’re a lot stronger than I am if you can resist the siren call.
Related By design, we’re supposed to buy a regular ring and never have to take it off unless we want to, and while more may be added to a collection, they’re not a product that’s upgraded like a piece of technology.
Furthermore, because what’s inside isn’t influenced so much by other companies releasing new components like chips and cameras, an annual hardware release may be redundant anyway. Smart rings are at a point where they are thin, light, long-lasting, feature-packed, reliable, and accurate enough for most people. What, outside of the design, are manufacturers going to update each year? It’s far more likely we will see biannual updates — or possibly even longer.
It’s not just the Oura Ring Not convinced yet? I’ve got one more argument Smart rings aren’t designed for the hardcore fitness addict, even the more intensive ones like the Ultrahuman Ring Air, and you probably shouldn’t choose one if you’re at the beginning of a transformative fitness journey. A smartwatch would be a far better choice if you want to increase performance or ability and observe improvements.
