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 wear Garmin, Fitbit, RingConn and Helio Strap 🤣

I like my ringconn gen 2! No subscription and it’s the thinnest on the market.

I like my RingConn Gen 2. Wrist worn wearables are not something I would consider. I have nice watches, and I like to wear them. I think the wrist worn ones look ugly outside of the gym. I went with the RingConn because I didn't want to pay for an ongoing subscription. Some people complain about battery, but mine's been great. I wear it for about a week, then I throw it in the case while I'm showering/putting on lotion a few mornings in a row. It's not perfect, but no device is.

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. 

That’s what I came here to suggest! I love mine! And it’s so much thinner than oura rings, I tried a friends on and it was so bulky on my small hands! Ringconn gen 2 for the win!

The only smart watch I wore for a while was the Garmin vivomove HR because it at the time was the closest thing I could see that resembled a traditional watch. It wasnt the worst thing, it looked and felt like a normal watch, notifications were not the greatest which was good because I didn't want it for tbat, I wanted something that measured steps and HR that looked ok. I used it on one trip and put it into non smart mode and one charge lasted me almost the entire trip which was 3 and a half weeks. Since I've got a ringconn V2 wearable ring, I'll never need to contemplate a smartwatch ever again. I wear my traditional watches and a ring. Easy. Sold the Garmin to some lady who then messaged me now happy she is because it doesn't spam you with notifications, so it went to a good place

I compared the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Oura Gen 4 and RingConn Gen 2 over a 20 day period very recently. Assuming the watch is the best at tracking sleep I compared both rings to the watch. Averaging the data I found the following: RingConn: Differences more (less) REM 26 minutes Deep 71 minutes Light (163) minutes Total (66) minutes Oura: Differences more (less) REM 4 minutes Deep 1 minute Light (50) minutes Total (45) minutes I really wanted the RingConn but sleep tracking is my priority. I use the watch for everything else. I returned the ring. These are my results and nothing more. Hopefully the patent issue will get resolved and next year I’ll look at RingConn again.

Well strap seems to me a way bulkier. (Dont have Amaz helio ring, but ringconn and In used to it). Usually when I get home, I take off my watch right away to rest, I'm afraid the strap will get in my way.

same, I got a ring that didn't require a sub and it's working well. I hate subscription model. But I get it.

I was only wearing apple watch for a long time as well and this year switched to a traditional watch and not looking back. It took a little getting used to but I am happier and poorer now. I got a ringconn to track my heart rate and sleep but mostly for outliers. I don't really use those data in any detailed way. Watches have become my main hobby other than playing with my kids. So stick with the Apple watch if you want your wallet to be fuller.
