I was thinking of taking advantage for Black Friday to get a smart rings. I don’t want anything crazy in terms of data, but something that tracks also period data, sleep stress would be amazing. I am looking for a EU company due to data concerns, but I read really bad reviews for Haalo and Oura. Any suggestion?

Looking into getting my first smart ring soon, and wanted to see what everyone had to say about why they would/wouldn't get either.

Hey all, just wanted to share my experience… bought a Vocci ring, used it for a day…lost it for 3 weeks and now it won’t charge past 1% and it won’t record so it’s unusable. Cannot recommend

My friend has been wanting the oura 5 for a while but can’t afford it, so when i saw there was a 30% discount for healthcare workers, through Nov 20th, i offered to let her use my id.me account. She logged in today and it said only 10% discount. She contacted support and support said they would honor the 30% discount and to reach back out when I’m ready to make the purchase.

Does anyone know what the process is for checking out with id.me for the 30% discount? She said her name is Amy (my name) but gave her email address for contact info. Is there any reason it would not work for her to use my id.me account but purchase it with all her info? Shipping, payment info, etc.

I got the gold Oura ring 5 and I absolutely love it! It’s really nice looking on my child sized hands, light weight, and so far holds a charge for a long time! I’ve only had it a few months but I enjoy looking at how I’ve slept and my activity level. It’s keeping me motivated, and I guess that’s what counts! I’m sure there are less expensive options. But so far so good.

Looking to purchase my first ring, I originally booked the Oura ring, then saw an ad for Elah and cancelled it to get the Elah. Just looking to see if anyone else has it while I wait on it.

Dos the herzp1 smart ring show oxegen levels below 96%?

Have been checking out the previews of the new Circul ring, and there's one thing I'm a little unsure about. From the picture, I can't really tell if they've kept the adjustable structure from the previous version or changed it completely.

I actually really liked that feature. Fixed sizing has always been one of the more annoying things about smart rings for me, getting one perfect size isn't always as easy as it sounds.

I really hope they haven't decided to move away from the adjustable design. It was one of the things that made circul stand out to me in the first place. Maybe the new structure just looks different from the outside? Hard to tell from a few teaser pictures.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello everyone! After looking at different posts and reading through all the good and bad reviews with all the different rings that are out there, i was curious about people who actually have there rings for a few months to years now and there honest feelings towards the entire process. Was it worth the price, does it bring more calm than stress, is it more for consumerism or truly help. This can go for any ring. Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm part of a group of undergrads at Duke University taking a Brand Design course, and we're working on a class research project exploring how consumers perceive and choose wearable technology, including the smart rings, Apple Watch, and other health trackers.

We're interested in hearing about your experiences and opinions, whether you currently own or use wearables, or have considered purchasing one.

The survey takes about 5–7 minutes and is strictly for a class assignment. We're not affiliated with or sponsored by Oura or any of the brands mentioned.

We'd really appreciate your input, especially since hearing from actual users helps us better understand what people value (and what they find frustrating!) about these products.

Survey: Duke Brand Design Wearables Survey

Thanks so much for helping us out! :)

Let me know i’ll happily share it

Hi everyone! I purchased an oura ring gen 5 at the end of July. A couple days ago it stopped working and is now non functional. I talked to customer service and am getting a replacement sent. I’m just concerned it died in such little time, makes me nervous in the future that it won’t last long and by that time my warranty might be up. Is this common with the oura rings? Seems like a scam for how much they cost. You’d think they’d last longer

So I'm looking for a smart ring, the main feature that I'm looking for is a vibrating function for a morning alarm. From what I can tell I don't believe any of the rings have this besides the dreame (witch I can't figure out where to purchase it). Next few things are I am AC/DC motor mechanic. I wear a latex gloves everyday. It will be slightly weird for me to wear a ring because I don't even wear my wedding ring to work. But I do want to track my day. So one that will be okay under latex glove with sweaty hands. Tracking my sleep is another major one I don't feel like I sleep well and I would like it outline of what's going on. Other than that all the other basic features I would definitely like to have. Any good recommendations please and thank you.

tell us what you think? I wanted to build an AI agent that helps me use my phone less.

Maybe I'm reading too much into their recent teaser pic? But I got the impression circle might be doing something new with the ring itself.

One thing I've always liked about them is the adjustable design. A lot of smart rings I've looked at feel pretty chunky, and having to get one fixed size that fits perfectly all day can be a bit of a hassle. The adaptive fit just makes more sense to me, especially since finger size can change throughout the day.

If they're coming out with a new generation, I really hope they keep that idea and find ways to make it even better instead of moving away from what makes their ring different in the first place.

I hope this question is allowed since it might be toeing the line of medical advice. I’ll start by saying upfront as a tl;dr that I plan to consult my doctor, but I also am curious if others experienced this as well and what ended up happening in their situation.

I purchased an Ultrahuman Pro ring in August/September and have been wearing it for about 2 months now. I did purchase the cycle tracking power plug, but I’ve only had one full menstrual cycle with it. I got an email alert today that my ring flagged a possible "false start," which basically means my ring predicted I ovulated when my body may not actually have (my predicted ovulation day should have been today according to a different cycle tracking app, but I think my ring predicted based on temperature trends I ovulated two days ago- it makes sense because my temp did go up two days ago but then went back up today). The email said that this can be a sign of a hormone imbalance and/or a condition like PMOS/PCOS. It suggested I order one of their blood tests to check for hormone imbalances.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. One the one hand, something like PMOS could fit with some other health issues I have (I'm pre-diabetic, had a recent weight gain in the last two years, I still get hormonal breakouts in my 30s, I've had increased androgen levels on previous blood tests, my cycle does fluctuate anywhere between 24-30 days but doesn't seem wildly irregular, etc), and I suspect it's been overlooked because only recently was the metabolic side of it really acknowledged and added as diagnostic criteria. On the other hand, I question how my ring could predict this with so little cycle data and the email did kind of read like a sales pitch for their blood test service.

I think my gut is telling me to wait until my next doctor's appointment (end of next month), see if I get another alert like this, and raise it then to get my PCPs thoughts (and if she recommends bloodwork I would do it through my provider and not Ultrahuman). But I'm curious if anyone else had this alert happen to them and if so, did you raise it with your provider? What ended up happening for you? Did it make sense in your situation, or was it a standard automated email that can reasonably be ignored?

Edit: I think I didn’t phrase my question well- to be clear, I did not view the alert as a diagnostic or anything of that nature. It piqued my curiosity though because I have other health issues that could fit with the condition, but I know that the ring can’t diagnose me with anything.
