Summary
- Smart rings are becoming increasingly popular, however, they are still a niche product so choice is still quite limited and many of the options on the market are less polished than more established tech categories, like smartwatches, headphones and smartphones
- Currently, smart rings are primarily health trackers and are best suited for casual athletes or those who are more wellness-minded, as they don’t tend to include smart alarms or push notifications
- The best smart ring on the market in 2025 is the Oura Ring 4, however, it’s worth noting that a subscription is required to access all of the ring’s features, which may be a dealbreaker for some consumers
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is an excellent alternative to the Oura Ring, however, it’s also considerably more expensive and is currently only available for Android users.
- The Ultrahuman Ring Air is another strong alternative, it doesn’t have the best accuracy but is comfortable to wear and has a lot of features, although some of these do come at an additional cost.
- The RingConn Gen 2 Air is a slimmer and more affordable option that also has excellent battery life.
