The best smart ring does a lot without asking much of you, passively tracking your activity, health, and sleep. Some models go even further, with meal logging, AI coaching, and cycle tracking. No distracting screens. No bulky smartwatch banging you in the face while you're deep in REM sleep.
Once the preserve of wealthy wellness buffs, top-of-the-line smart rings are becoming increasingly affordable and available. Although our top pick is still Finnish pioneer Oura's Ring 5 (from $399), the company is no longer the only fish in the smart-ring sea, thanks to upstarts like Ultrahuman and RingConn, established fitness-tracking brands like Amazfit, and even tech giants like Samsung. I expect to see more entrants in the coming months, but for now, these are the best smart rings we’ve tried.
