Smart Ring for Women Men – Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate/Blood Oxygen/Stress Monitor/Steps/Sleep Tracking, No App Subscription, 5ATM Waterproof Health Rings

Worth the price
Compared it to my Apple Watch and got identical readings on everything I was looking at on my watch before, and I don’t have to charge my ring every night, mine last about 4 days before I decide to charge it. Also for sizing I’d size up by one or two depending on if you’re a half size, any possible swelling to your fingers and it will be stuck on.

The most smart ring bang for the buck!
I’ll start out by saying that I’d get one of the pricier smart rings out there if money were no issue, but I wanted to investigate the options at the lower end of the smart ring price range first. I had been using a very inexpensive one for a bit, but hadn’t been too impressed with it. So I took a step up to the low-to-middle part of the smart ring pricing range, and this one has turned out to be a big step up! The QRing app takes a little time to set up. It took 3 or 4 tries to get the ring fully paired with the app, so don’t give up if it doesn’t work on the first (or even the second) try. Then you should really walk through the app to turn on the things you want the ring to track — I turned everything on, but I think the app is set up this way to give you some control over battery life. I have to believe that the battery will drain faster with everything turned on, but I’m fine with that since the ring charges fairly quickly. With smart rings, the “smart” really comes from the app, and I like QRing QUITE a bit more than the app for the cheaper ring! Don’t overlook the “Sport Record” feature, that you should activate when starting a workout, and deactivate when you’re done. The sleep report is also very detailed. I am in between a 9 and a 10 for ring size, and you should go up in this case with a smart ring (better a little loose than too tight), so this feels loose on my hand, but so far it has not fallen off. I will take this off before going in a pool, because I can imagine it falling off there and me not noticing. If I were swimming for exercise, though, I might use a bandage or piece of surgical tape to prevent that from happening, out of an abundance of caution.Honestly, I can’t see myself having any reason to pay a few hundred dollars more for a top-of-the line smart ring — this one is VERY impressive for the price!

The first really good budget ring health tracker I’ve used
My last go around with an affordable health tracking ring wasn’t so great. Virtually nothing on it worked right except arguably the heart rate monitor and the battery life, connectivity and app were atrocious.In the time since I have procured a very accurate health tracking watch that over about three weeks I compared with stand-alone professional grade health monitoring devices and always found the numbers the watch reported to be accurate within a small margin of error. I have been using it to verify the data this ring is reporting.It had a firmware update waiting to be downloaded and applied, which went smoothly and took a little less than 2 minutes. The ring is true to size for me and I’m able to wear it as a wedding band (I’m not big on a lot of extraneous jewelry and my wife is fine with that–she usually wears silicone bands). It’s comfortable. There are two little knobs on the inside, I believe where the sensors are, that aren’t noticeable to me while its being worn.I had intended to wear it about a week and post a review, but real life has gotten in the way so it’s been closer to five weeks of pretty much constant wear. I’ve been having to recharge it about once per week. Maybe not having too, I’m actually not paying super close attention to its battery level. As far as I’ve noticed, it has always lasted until the next charge. I charge it and the watch at the same time. I wear the ring on my left ring finger and the watch on my right wrist. As stated before, the watch is very reliable with the data it reports. This ring has consistently been reporting very similar data. Whereas I’d say the watch is usually at most 5% off of pro grade health monitoring devices (in my experience), this ring is usually at most 5% off from what the watch is reporting. I’d say on average they’re all within 2-3% of each other.I trust the data it’s giving me for heart rate and blood oxygen readings. It also reports heart rate variability (which the watch does not) and stress levels (again, not on the watch). The only feature the ring is missing that the watch has is a blood pressure measurement.Every now and then the heart rate monitor will report a value that’s too low. I’ll be cruising along in the low 70s and then it’ll be in the mid 50s or somewhere thereabouts. It only does this occasionally and not twice in a row that I’ve noticed. The sleep monitor also isn’t quite as good as the watch’s. It reports virtually identical data if I sleep like a normal person, which I almost always am as of right now, but when I first got this device I was transitioning off of third shift (and odd shift work in general) and I was usually a bi-phasal (and sometimes tri-phasal) sleeper. The watch is the only device that pretty much always got my sleep times right, no matter what times of the day I was sleeping. Other devices simply refuse to acknowledge that you might be sleeping from 9:30AM to 1:00PM and then again from 7:30PM until 10:30PM. As noted, I was just switching to day shift when I received this ring but it did not pick up on my day sleep that last day.The device is pretty tough. I play volleyball in it and my job is physical and it’s holding up well (it does have some light scuffing on it but I’d say a very reasonable amount for what I put it through).Something it does better than the watch is the link to my phone. I have to manually re-sync my watch once or twice a day whereas this just stays connected and keeps the data flowing to its app. I have noticed a pretty appreciable drain on my phone battery though. Before I could usually just get two days battery life, now I’m getting maybe a day and a third before needing to recharge. The app itself is not obnoxious in any way and may have had its user interface designed by a native English speaker. FYI I just opened the app to have a look around and received a new firmware update, so they are continuing to actively support the device as of the date of this review.Overall I’m really pleased with it. In the past health monitoring devices (generally watches) don’t make it more than three weeks before I’ve given up on them for various reasons (often inaccurate measurements). I foresee wearing this until it gives out.
