RingConn - Gen 2 Smart Ring

Probably also worth looking into [RingConn](https://ringconn.com/pages/ringconn-gen-2?irclickid=x6kTqTSgNxyPRityly0JazM8UkCxfJVH5R7eXE0&sharedid=techradar.com&irpid=10078&irgwc=1&UTM_source=impact&UTM_medium=affiliate&Partner=Skimbit%20Ltd.&Partner_id=10078), I've been wearing the Gen2 since it came out. It's pretty good, great battery life, is more comfortable than the Oura and doesn't require a subscription. Also cheaper overall.

I’ve had every Oura ring. My biggest problem with it was that I had to charge it three times a week. I then saw that the Ringcon 2 had a 12-day battery life. I ordered one, and I absolutely love it. I have used both the Oura Ring 4 and the Ringcon 2 at the same time, and the stats seem very similar. I’m now Ringcon over Oura. 

yup you aren't allowed to say anything bad about Apple on any of the Apple subreddits. The amount of cope Apple fans engage in is really next level. My Ringconn Gen 2 gives me more accurate sleep tracking than my Apple watch. My Apple watch will detect me taking a 'nap' when I'm sitting on the sofa relaxed and playing videogames. And the sleep stages also consistently seem off to me. Meanwhile you have people posting on the Ringconn sub saying the sleep tracking on the ring is bad because it doesn't align with the Apple Watch .... which has pretty faulty sleep tracking in general in my experience.

I have RingConn and an Apple Watch. I use both daily. The watch has the most data. I utilize the ring for sleep tracking (I don’t sleep with watch). Watch is used for more stuff. Apple Pay, weather, timers, messages and more. Both are beneficial.

Check out Helio by Amazfit. I’ve been using the RingConn smart ring and I absolutely love it!

I’ve dropped a lot of cash on wearable devices, trying to figure out which ones work best for tracking my health and fitness. Here’s my take on each, cleaned up for clarity: 1. Oura Ring: I like this one a lot. It’s awesome for displaying sleep data in a clear way, and I don’t mind the monthly subscription. That said, it’s mostly focused on sleep tracking. It can get uncomfortable when I’m lifting weights or wearing motorcycle gloves. Their customer service is great, though—they replaced my ring even after the warranty was long gone. My only worry is how they handle user data; I’m not sure I trust their database practices. 2. RingConn: This was a total bust. The UI and UX are awful, and my device had a sensor error. I emailed their support for weeks with no response. Only after I posted about it on X did they reach out and send a replacement. Honestly, it’s not worth the money or the headache. 3. Apple Watch Ultra 2: This is great for tracking activities like running and general fitness. The data has gotten much better, but if you want in-depth info on sleep, stress, or what Whoop offers, you’re stuck paying for multiple subscriptions. I use it for sleep, running, and pretty much any activity, and it does the job well. I decided to pair it with the Whoop since they complement each other perfectly, and I still get to show off my cool watches. 4. Whoop 5.0: This is my top pick. The data is incredibly detailed, and the new bicep strap is so comfortable I forget it’s on. It doesn’t auto-detect activities, but I sync everything from Apple Health, so I don’t need to manually start or stop tracking. Pairing it with the Apple Watch works like a charm, giving me the best of both worlds while letting me wear my favorite watches. After spending all this time and money, I’d say the Whoop 5.0, paired with the Apple Watch, is totally worth it for me. It’s the most complete and seamless setup I’ve found.

Have tried the Oura and Ultrahuman, but the RingConn was much better for me as it is invisible when worn. None of them are particularly accurate, however, and the tech is still in its infancy. The Fitbit Luxe is small on the other wrist, but is not perfect. Sadly an Apple Watch or Garmin are way better, but double writing is tricky.
