From Oura to Ultrahuman to Evie, here’s how we test and rank the latest smart rings on the market.
How do we test and evaluate these smart rings? What features do we seek out, and what are some red and green flags you should look for as you shop for smart rings? Here’s the full breakdown.
I once wore a smart ring shaped like a square, and I couldn’t move my fingers for the entire day. I’ve worn smart rings that feel naturally unobtrusive and ones that stick out and make it nearly impossible to go about everyday tasks, like gripping a subway pole, carrying multiple bags, or typing on a keyboard. Before I even open the smart ring app on my phone, I first pay attention to how the smart ring feels around my finger. If a brand can’t nail comfort right off the bat, it’s going to be hard for someone to wear realistically.
While testing out smart rings, I consider the shape and design and prefer circular rings to those with funky, square shapes for maximum wearability.
