925 Silver Smart Ring Jackets
Full disclosure upfront: I'm the founder behind the brand of these but just looking for genuine feedback.. Ive been designing these smart ring jackets that fit around smart rings to make them look less like a medical device, and honestly it's been a mission these past few months figuring out how to make them fit perfectly without interfering with the sensors or connectivity and all that... i've handcrafted them in 925 sterling silver. Mostly leaning in a more masculine direction so far cause first of all i made it to wear it myself but I'd love to hear what you all think. Should I do more varied designs? Maybe add some gold ones into the mix too? Any feedback is welcome, keen to hear your thoughts.. submitted by /u/MtBlanc1998 to r/ouraring [link] [comments]

best smart ring is it worth using instead of a fitness watch?
Heads up: decided to go with RingConn Gen 2, World’s First Smart Ring with Sleep Apnea Monitoring and it seems like a better fit for what I wanted. Hoping the simpler design helps me stay consistent with using it. i’m debating whether a smart ring would be better than a fitness watch since i prefer something more minimal and less distracting during workouts. i mainly care about steps, sleep, and general activity tracking, nothing too advanced or complicated. my previous watch felt too noticeable during exercise and everyday wear so i eventually stopped using it consistently. i’m trying to build better habits now as a beginner in fitness and want something i’ll actually stick with this time. for those who switched to a smart ring, did it really make it easier to stay consistent, or do you still feel like a watch works better overall? submitted by /u/JappinenDevell-69 to r/beginnerfitness [link] [comments]

Smart theft attempt failed after jewellery shop staff noticed the ring swap in seconds

Spent 3 months with this smart ring. Here’s the whole truth 🙈
Bought Gabit skeptically, figured I'd share an honest take after actually living with it. The good: Sleep tracking is genuinely detailed, full REM/deep/light breakdown every morning, not just a vague score. HRV and resting HR together give you a real recovery picture, I actually look at it before deciding how hard to train that day. VO2 max tracking was something I didn't expect to care about but it's been interesting to watch it move over time as my fitness has improved, it feels like an actual measure of progress rather than just steps or calories. Battery consistently hits over 7 days. The app UI is simple & clean. I love that there is no subscription. The not so good: Takes a day or two to get used to wearing something on your finger. That's honestly about it. For under ₹15k with no monthly fees, it's hard to argue with. submitted by /u/Square-Peace6663 to r/Fitness_India [link] [comments]

Should I get a smart watch or a smart ring?
My apple watch is dying (or is probably dead as I post this t.t) and I just wanted to ask if I should get another smart watch (Garmin) or should I switch to fitness rings? I use my apple watch to track my steps, calories burned, and stand goals for the day. I have PCOS and I mostly check on my daily move goals. I think it’s women’s health tracking isn’t the best so I wanted to come on here and ask if you guys have a better suggestion.

My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/footballfriends1 Originally posted to r/relationship_advice My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing Trigger Warnings: internalized misogyny and body image issues Original Post: February 27, 2026 Husband and I have been together 15 years and throughout our relationship I have been a conservatively dressed frumpier woman. My clothes look good on me but it's a lot of looser fits, high necklines, sweaters, etc. I am also the mom of a toddler. Recently my husband and I went shopping with my younger sisters, who are in their mid 20s and are skinny and single. They bought stuff that suited their lifestyle. Short skirts, low necks, flashy, etc. It all looked great on them. My husband kept encouraging me to try on that kind of stuff and I politely declined. Later he told me that he would love it if I showed more skin, at least at home if not out and about. We live in the Midwest and I am cold about 9 months of the year, so I am always completely covered and wrapped in a blanket to boot. I laughed this off thinking he was just being silly. But he was very serious. We don't have the greatest sex life, being together so long and having a toddler, but it's not terrible and I do take off my clothes at that time, just not every day. I told him that scandalous clothes simply don't fit my lifestyle, but he keeps insisting I try it. I am a larger woman and the clothes he admires simply would not work for me. I'm wondering if I should just ignore his request or have another talk with him? Compromise somehow? What's the best way forward? *Tl;Dr husband wants middle aged wife to dress more revealing. Wife is uncomfortable* Editor's note: please note that many of OOP's responses were downvoted, but they provide more details Relevant Comments Commenter 1: That's really, really sad. Perhaps you need to reevaluate some things and invest in mental health support. OOP: I like my life. It's just tiring, and being tired makes me feel middle aged. It's not deeper than that. Commenter 2: Of course it’s deeper than that. No 33 year-old describes themselves as middle aged. Your husband sees a problem and is trying to get his young, sexy wife back. OOP: This is the thing. I have always dressed and looked this way. He's never had a "young, sexy wife". he's had a more elegant, casual, conservatively dressed wife. Commenter 3: you called yourself frumpy and always wrapped in a blanket, that’s not elegantly casual. OOP: lol, I guess my work/leaving the house attire is different from home attire. I'm cold! I have to stay warm in the house! It's either blankets, sweat suits, or a very thick robe. Commenter 4: Are you leaving the house often? Is your LO in day care or are you mostly at home taking care of them? OOP: We both work. I have hobbies that involve me leaving the house as well. Commenter 5: Do you and your husband go on date nights where you dress up? You don't need to dress in a way that's antithetical to your style or comfort, but it sounds like he may be expressing some desire for less frumpy middle-aged bundle mode and a bit more wife mode. How would he characterize your sex life? "Not great but not terrible" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement in the first place, but I suspect he might lean more towards terrible than great in his own estimation. Being parents of a toddler is hard, and that's why it's extra important to make sure you're nurturing the relationship as well, not just the parent side of things. That includes intimacy. Sounds like you two need to have an honest talk about your "not great" sex life and how to work on feeling more physically connected. And yeah, that might occasionally mean turning up the thermostat a bit and putting away the sweats. OOP: Dress up dates, not often, but when we go I have nice modest clothing that I wear. Our sex life is not great. His sex drive is lower than mine. I've gotten used to it Commenter 6: I think self-describing yourself as a "conservatively dressed frumpier woman" makes your husband's request sound a lot more reasonable to me. Leave the toddler out of it. You've been together for 15 years and only a had a toddler for maybe three years. That's roughly 12 years of being frumpy. No wonder your sex life suffers. Your husband wants you to be sexier, but you've basically given up. Certainly there is some middle ground between what you consider "scandalous" and "frumpy." There has to be a way that you can show off a little for your husband and still feel comfortable. OOP: I feel that he knows how I dress. It's been consistent for years. Why change now, especially now that I'm running around a toddler and am definitely older. I want to appease him but showing skin isn't practical in the winter, and tight outfits show off the postpartum body in ways I don't like. I don't know how to honor his request and feel comfortable OOP needs to get therapy to deal with her unresolved issues that she has OOP: I have been to therapy and have focused a lot on decentering my looks and the pressure to be sexy. Embracing the things I do like about myself and leaving behind what I don't. Commenter 7: 33 isn’t middle aged! Why not buy some sexy lingerie for his eyes only instead and be proactive about wearing it to bed and initiating? OOP: He doesn't like lingerie, it puts pressure on him and feels like trying too hard. He wants "casually sexy clothing". Commenter 7: Well do you like lingerie? Could that be your compromise? At least a sexy bra or something you could start by wearing under your clothes. Personally I won’t be interested in sex if I don’t feel sexy. I understand you don’t want to wear different clothes but tbh I don’t see the harm in trying something that could potentially help you feel better about yourself or feel more sexy and maybe help your sex life. And if you try it and don’t like then oh well at least you tried. I might be wrong but your post reads as if you don’t have a lot of self-confidence. The sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence! Also I don’t think anyone would consider 33 Middle Aged that’s just madness. OOP: I don't personally like lingerie. I have a hard to find bra size so my three bras are aggressively practical. I feel pretty good about myself in the clothes I wear! I love clothes and thrive in looser fitting, colorful yet conservative wear.   Update: March 30, 2026 (one month later) Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing I posted a little while ago about this dilemma. My husband wants me to start showing cleavage and leg while we're around the house. I have always dressed conservatively and now that I have a toddler, this feels even more impractical. So, a few days after posting, I humored him by taking him shopping. I asked him to pick out stuff that he wanted me to wear, and agreed to try them on in the dressing room. He picked out all the expected stuff. Lace camis, deep necklines. Even a few pairs of shorts and one of those ridiculous bloomer things. I tried them all on and then showed him how difficult each one would be. This top while bending to pick up toys. These shorts while changing diapers. How everything rides up and slips and would require constant adjustment. After a while of this, he backed off. Apologized. Agreed he would not ask for any of that again. Unfortunately, it appears he might have developed some kind of Madonna complex. We have not had sex since that day. He does not find my current persona sexually appealing anymore. He's dissatisfied with us having sex with the lights off, even though that's how we've always done it. So we're at a bit of a stalemate now. Is there a way we can reach a compromise that allows me to be comfortable and him to have some level of arousal? Or do we stick to the status quo? Editor's note: OOP made lots of responses, I am listing top common questions and responses Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Why not try to find a special outfit for “occasions”? I saw in your other post you keep saying you’re middle aged at 33… I’m 40 and refuse to use those words. Are you feeling ok? OOP: I am a tired mom. I've felt middle aged for a while. I feel ok but I also take antidepressants and have for many years Commenter 2: How much mental load does your husband take on? OOP: The majority. He's a great parent Commenter 3: You did not “humor” him. That implies giving things a genuine shot in good faith. It seems that your intention was to school him and show why what he wants is wrong, and to make him feel your pain. It seems to me that instead of fixating on sexy clothing as a proxy issue, you two should seek couples counseling with the aim of generally improving your sex life and communication around sex. Is this something each of you is open to? OOP: You're right. I was hurt and acted out of anger. I felt like he was asking for something so impractical and selfish that my feelings were hurt OOP on her physical shape OOP: I am a larger woman with a lot of lumps and bumps, lol. I prefer conservative items that cover my body. Commenter 4: Question - do you like your body? Do you find your body attractive and sexy aside from your husband's desire? Do you see your body as more than what it did - bear a child? Your personal style is one thing, but you seem to describe your body in a negative way and highlight what you perceive as flaws. I think this is especially common for women after pregnancy. If you don't like your body it doesn't really matter what you wear. You'll never feel comfortable because it's not about the clothes, it's about your self-image. I could be wrong, but it seems like the other things are symptoms of a much deeper root. I'd try working on that while talking with your husband. My guess is it never really occurred to him and so his request has triggered a subconscious or unspoken insecurity. OOP: I do not. I have never liked my body. Therapy has helped me see my body as a tool rather than an aesthetic thing. I focus on what it can do rather than what it looks like. I cover what displeases me and focus on what I like. I have always dressed and acted this way, even pre motherhood Commenter 5: Reading this post and then your comments about your own body is making me wonder if this is a you issue instead. You seem to be very adverse to showing off your body. Were you like this before the baby, or has pregnancy ruined your self-image? Either way, recommend some soul searching. Clearly, your husband loves you (even if his attempts to show it are misguided). You need to love you, too. OOP: I have always been this way Commenter 6: I’m curious how he dresses and if it’s appealing to you. Because most of the guys who requested I wear specific items of clothing did not dress to a standard I found appealing. OOP: He wears what he likes. I've never been invested in his looks or clothing OOP on her family OOP We both work outside the home. He is a fantastic parent and partner. Our child is around 18 months.   ----NEW UPDATE---- DISCLAIMER: OOP HAS UPDATED AFTER THE BoRU WAS POSTED SO PER RULES UPDATE IS INCLUDED I (33F) am trying to improve my intimate life with my husband (33M) and am struggling?: April 7, 2026 (one week later) I can't officially update per subreddit rules but I posted here a bit over a week ago about my husband wanting me to wear shorts/tanks/etc around the house and me disliking my body and wanting to cover up as much as possible. Well, my husband saw the posts and we talked about it. I have made inquiries about finding a new therapist and so that is in the works. We planned to try intimacy with a lamp on so he could see me a little. My husband was very loving and encouraging. He agreed to put the request for new wardrobe on hold while I pull myself together. And then stuff got worse. I am a hobbyist writer attempting to get a novel published (I write every day from 4 to 7 AM, it is the thing I love most in life). After two failed novels my agent officially dropped me. Now I don't just feel middle aged. I feel old and dried up and so defeated. All I have ever wanted to do is be a writer and now I'm even further than ever before. It's like, I'm not beautiful or successful or smart but I can write...now I don't even have that. So yeah. At an absolute low point. My question is, how can I take care of my marriage and my family and myself in this state? I feel like I can't lean on him because he's going through his own stuff and I don't really have anyone else to turn to either. I've kind of lost all my friends these past few years, mostly due to jealousy about everyone else's successes. My own fault. It's all my own fault.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Wife is uncomfortable* Editor's note: please note that many of OOP's responses were downvoted, but they provide more details Relevant Comments Commenter 1: That's really, really sad. Perhaps you need to reevaluate some things and invest in mental health support. OOP: I like my life. It's just tiring, and being tired makes me feel middle aged. It's not deeper than that. Commenter 2: Of course it’s deeper than that. No 33 year-old describes themselves as middle aged. Your husband sees a problem and is trying to get his young, sexy wife back. OOP: This is the thing. I have always dressed and looked this way. He's never had a "young, sexy wife". he's had a more elegant, casual, conservatively dressed wife. Commenter 3: you called yourself frumpy and always wrapped in a blanket, that’s not elegantly casual. OOP: lol, I guess my work/leaving the house attire is different from home attire. I'm cold! I have to stay warm in the house! It's either blankets, sweat suits, or a very thick robe. Commenter 4: Are you leaving the house often? Is your LO in day care or are you mostly at home taking care of them? OOP: We both work. I have hobbies that involve me leaving the house as well. Commenter 5: Do you and your husband go on date nights where you dress up? You don't need to dress in a way that's antithetical to your style or comfort, but it sounds like he may be expressing some desire for less frumpy middle-aged bundle mode and a bit more wife mode. How would he characterize your sex life? "Not great but not terrible" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement in the first place, but I suspect he might lean more towards terrible than great in his own estimation. Being parents of a toddler is hard, and that's why it's extra important to make sure you're nurturing the relationship as well, not just the parent side of things. That includes intimacy. Sounds like you two need to have an honest talk about your "not great" sex life and how to work on feeling more physically connected. And yeah, that might occasionally mean turning up the thermostat a bit and putting away the sweats. OOP: Dress up dates, not often, but when we go I have nice modest clothing that I wear. Our sex life is not great. His sex drive is lower than mine. I've gotten used to it Commenter 6: I think self-describing yourself as a "conservatively dressed frumpier woman" makes your husband's request sound a lot more reasonable to me. Leave the toddler out of it. You've been together for 15 years and only a had a toddler for maybe three years. That's roughly 12 years of being frumpy. No wonder your sex life suffers. Your husband wants you to be sexier, but you've basically given up. Certainly there is some middle ground between what you consider "scandalous" and "frumpy." There has to be a way that you can show off a little for your husband and still feel comfortable. OOP: I feel that he knows how I dress. It's been consistent for years. Why change now, especially now that I'm running around a toddler and am definitely older. I want to appease him but showing skin isn't practical in the winter, and tight outfits show off the postpartum body in ways I don't like. I don't know how to honor his request and feel comfortable OOP needs to get therapy to deal with her unresolved issues that she has OOP: I have been to therapy and have focused a lot on decentering my looks and the pressure to be sexy. Embracing the things I do like about myself and leaving behind what I don't. Commenter 7: 33 isn’t middle aged! Why not buy some sexy lingerie for his eyes only instead and be proactive about wearing it to bed and initiating? OOP: He doesn't like lingerie, it puts pressure on him and feels like trying too hard. He wants "casually sexy clothing". Commenter 7: Well do you like lingerie? Could that be your compromise? At least a sexy bra or something you could start by wearing under your clothes. Personally I won’t be interested in sex if I don’t feel sexy. I understand you don’t want to wear different clothes but tbh I don’t see the harm in trying something that could potentially help you feel better about yourself or feel more sexy and maybe help your sex life. And if you try it and don’t like then oh well at least you tried. I might be wrong but your post reads as if you don’t have a lot of self-confidence. The sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence! Also I don’t think anyone would consider 33 Middle Aged that’s just madness. OOP: I don't personally like lingerie. I have a hard to find bra size so my three bras are aggressively practical. I feel pretty good about myself in the clothes I wear! I love clothes and thrive in looser fitting, colorful yet conservative wear.   Update: March 30, 2026 (one month later) Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing I posted a little while ago about this dilemma. My husband wants me to start showing cleavage and leg while we're around the house. I have always dressed conservatively and now that I have a toddler, this feels even more impractical. So, a few days after posting, I humored him by taking him shopping. I asked him to pick out stuff that he wanted me to wear, and agreed to try them on in the dressing room. He picked out all the expected stuff. Lace camis, deep necklines. Even a few pairs of shorts and one of those ridiculous bloomer things. I tried them all on and then showed him how difficult each one would be. This top while bending to pick up toys. These shorts while changing diapers. How everything rides up and slips and would require constant adjustment. After a while of this, he backed off. Apologized. Agreed he would not ask for any of that again. Unfortunately, it appears he might have developed some kind of Madonna complex. We have not had sex since that day. He does not find my current persona sexually appealing anymore. He's dissatisfied with us having sex with the lights off, even though that's how we've always done it. So we're at a bit of a stalemate now. Is there a way we can reach a compromise that allows me to be comfortable and him to have some level of arousal? Or do we stick to the status quo? Editor's note: OOP made lots of responses, I am listing top common questions and responses Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Why not try to find a special outfit for “occasions”? I saw in your other post you keep saying you’re middle aged at 33… I’m 40 and refuse to use those words. Are you feeling ok? OOP: I am a tired mom. I've felt middle aged for a while. I feel ok but I also take antidepressants and have for many years Commenter 2: How much mental load does your husband take on? OOP: The majority. He's a great parent Commenter 3: You did not “humor” him. That implies giving things a genuine shot in good faith. It seems that your intention was to school him and show why what he wants is wrong, and to make him feel your pain. It seems to me that instead of fixating on sexy clothing as a proxy issue, you two should seek couples counseling with the aim of generally improving your sex life and communication around sex. Is this something each of you is open to? OOP: You're right. I was hurt and acted out of anger. I felt like he was asking for something so impractical and selfish that my feelings were hurt OOP on her physical shape OOP: I am a larger woman with a lot of lumps and bumps, lol. I prefer conservative items that cover my body. Commenter 4: Question - do you like your body? Do you find your body attractive and sexy aside from your husband's desire? Do you see your body as more than what it did - bear a child? Your personal style is one thing, but you seem to describe your body in a negative way and highlight what you perceive as flaws. I think this is especially common for women after pregnancy. If you don't like your body it doesn't really matter what you wear. You'll never feel comfortable because it's not about the clothes, it's about your self-image. I could be wrong, but it seems like the other things are symptoms of a much deeper root. I'd try working on that while talking with your husband. My guess is it never really occurred to him and so his request has triggered a subconscious or unspoken insecurity. OOP: I do not. I have never liked my body. Therapy has helped me see my body as a tool rather than an aesthetic thing. I focus on what it can do rather than what it looks like. I cover what displeases me and focus on what I like. I have always dressed and acted this way, even pre motherhood Commenter 5: Reading this post and then your comments about your own body is making me wonder if this is a you issue instead. You seem to be very adverse to showing off your body. Were you like this before the baby, or has pregnancy ruined your self-image? Either way, recommend some soul searching. Clearly, your husband loves you (even if his attempts to show it are misguided). You need to love you, too. OOP: I have always been this way Commenter 6: I’m curious how he dresses and if it’s appealing to you. Because most of the guys who requested I wear specific items of clothing did not dress to a standard I found appealing. OOP: He wears what he likes. I've never been invested in his looks or clothing OOP on her family OOP We both work outside the home. He is a fantastic parent and partner. Our child is around 18 months.   ----NEW UPDATE---- DISCLAIMER: OOP HAS UPDATED AFTER THE BoRU WAS POSTED SO PER RULES UPDATE IS INCLUDED I (33F) am trying to improve my intimate life with my husband (33M) and am struggling?: April 7, 2026 (one week later) I can't officially update per subreddit rules but I posted here a bit over a week ago about my husband wanting me to wear shorts/tanks/etc around the house and me disliking my body and wanting to cover up as much as possible. Well, my husband saw the posts and we talked about it. I have made inquiries about finding a new therapist and so that is in the works. We planned to try intimacy with a lamp on so he could see me a little. My husband was very loving and encouraging. He agreed to put the request for new wardrobe on hold while I pull myself together. And then stuff got worse. I am a hobbyist writer attempting to get a novel published (I write every day from 4 to 7 AM, it is the thing I love most in life). After two failed novels my agent officially dropped me. Now I don't just feel middle aged. I feel old and dried up and so defeated. All I have ever wanted to do is be a writer and now I'm even further than ever before. It's like, I'm not beautiful or successful or smart but I can write...now I don't even have that. So yeah. At an absolute low point. My question is, how can I take care of my marriage and my family and myself in this state? I feel like I can't lean on him because he's going through his own stuff and I don't really have anyone else to turn to either. I've kind of lost all my friends these past few years, mostly due to jealousy about everyone else's successes. My own fault. It's all my own fault.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Are Smart Rings Actually Useful or not? Real Users, Please Weigh In
Smart rings are honestly a pretty new concept for me. I only came across them less than a year ago, and I’m still a bit skeptical about how useful they actually are in real life. But recently something changed. I run a small yoga group, and over the last few weeks I’ve noticed more and more people coming in wearing rings. And weirdly, most of them are wearing the Luna Ring. That got me thinking… is this actually something useful, or just another fancy wellness trend? From what I’ve read, these rings track things like sleep, HRV, stress, recovery, etc. and are meant to be worn all day without being bulky like a watch. And yeah, that sounds great in theory. But I also keep seeing mixed takes: some people say it genuinely helps improve habits others say the data can be confusing or even stressful So I wanted to ask real users instead of reading reviews: If you’ve been using a smart ring (especially Luna), has it actually changed anything in your routine? Does it genuinely help with sleep and recovery, or is it just numbers on a screen? Do you still use it after a few months, or does it fade out? And honestly… which smart ring is actually the best right now, based on real experience? Just trying to figure out if this is something worth bringing into my yoga group… or just another thing that looks cool but doesn’t really stick. submitted by /u/Salt_Concert5161 to r/SmartRings [link] [comments]

Recommendation for a Smart Ring.
I recently bought the most recent Oura Ring from Costco. It failed on me (the green sensors on it went from two to one and then to none and stopped working). I returned it. My wife got the Herz P1 and Inread that is a do not buy, although that is working for what she needs it for. 8-9 months ago I was diagnosed with AFib and recently (3 weeks ago) have been successfully cardioverted. I am looking for a ring not as expensive as the Oura. My priorities are good HR, HRV, and sleep, along with being waterproof and durable. I would like it to be accompanied by an app that doesn't require a subscription. I know these are a lot of requested requirements, but maybe I can find something that meets most of these qualities, if not all. Thank you so very much ahead of time for any advice. submitted by /u/Diecast-Demon to r/SmartRings [link] [comments]

Whats the deal with smart rings? Are smartwatches not enough anymore?
Hey everyone, I've been seeing ads everywhere for Oura and Samsung Galaxy Ring lately. I don't get the hype. My Apple Watch already tracks my steps, heart rate, sleep, all that stuff. So whats the point of spending another few hundred bucks on a ring that does the same thing but with no screen? I asked my friend who's into tech and he said smart rings are for people who hate wearing watches or want better sleep tracking. But I can just wear my watch to sleep too. Is it really that different? For people who own both or switched: Whats the deal with smart rings that makes them worth buying separately? Do they actually track things better than watches? I saw someone mention finger sensors are more accurate for heart rate stuff because of better blood flow . Is that real or marketing? The battery life thing seems nice. My watch dies daily, rings apparently last a week . But is that worth giving up the screen? Can rings do anything watches cant? I saw something about gesture controls for taking photos and NFC payments . But my watch already does payments too. Also arent rings annoying to type with or easy to lose? And sizing seems complicated. One review mentioned needing a sizing kit before buying which sounds like a hassle . If I already have a Watch Ultra, am I missing out by not getting a ring? Or is this just another gadget for people with too much money? The health tracking focus seems cool but I dont need that much data about my sleep and stress. Just want to know if I'm moving enough. Appreciate any honest takes from people who actually wear these things daily. Trying to figure out if I should care about this trend or ignore it. submitted by /u/Anooshay_Belence to r/WearOS [link] [comments]

Which smart ring should I get?
I've been looking at getting a new smart ring, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the choices and the advertisements on TikTok, so I thought I'd come here to get some advice. I currently wear a Fitbit around my ankle that I JUST use to track steps (it's a temporary setup while I wait for my Tru Fitness tracker to arrive- hopefully in the spring). While my fitbit DOES have the ability to track things like heart rate and sleep, I have those features turned off. I prefer wearing a simple, small analog watch and wearing both that and a smartwatch is overkill (for me). I love the ankle based step tracking, but I am missing some of the other smartwatch features and it seems like a ring-based tracker is going to be the best option. (Though I am exploring additional options). I'm looking for something that will track things like heart rate, HRV, sleep and allow me to sync them to Apple or Google Health. (I currently have an iPhone, but I may switch to Android, so I don't want something that will lock me into one ecosystem). I don't care about calorie burn, distance, or step count (and will likely disable syncing that information if possible). I've been looking mostly at the Ringconn since it seems to be one of the top brands that doesn't have a subscription and is still available in the US. I also like that it seems to be one of the slimmer options available. However, I haven't completely ruled out the Colmi or Circul. I'm leaning away from the Oura- I'm not keen on paying a subscription on top of spending so much money on the device (and since I want something in gold over silver, that bumps up the price for an Oura significantly). For Ringconn, I prefer the Gen2 colors over the Gen2 Air Dune Gold, but I'm not sure it's worth the $100 price increase. (I'm interested in going for the Air and getting a cover if there's an option that doesn't add too much bulk.) Any insight? I've already looked at things like workarounds for the Oura subscription. submitted by /u/Conscious-Hawk3679 to r/SmartRings [link] [comments]

are smart rings worth it in 2026?
got tired of charging my apple watch every day. wanted to see if smart rings are worth it in 2026 for basic health tracking. I was checking oura ring and ringconn, the popular options in US right now. since I am using an Iphone I need a ring that compares to it easily. my apple watch does that perfectly my main request is to track sleep, recovery, some activities without needing to charge every single day like my watch still trying to figure out if smart rings are actually worth it as a full replacement or just an add-on. anyone else switch from a smartwatch to a smart ring full-time? do you miss having a screen, or did you adjust? submitted by /u/johnblaze07 to r/HealthTech [link] [comments]

Fake diamonds are a smart choice for engagement rings
I bought my now wife a diamond engagement ring a few years ago. It's a pretty standard, decent quality diamond which set me back thousands of dollars. I bought a loose moissanite stone of the same size for literally $75 just for fun. As an untrained person, I couldn't tell the difference side by side. I took this thing to a jeweler. He was able to identify it as a moissanite, but he had to use a special device and this eyepiece. If a jeweler needed to look at this thing with specialized equipment to identify it correctly, there's almost zero chance that a regular person could tell the difference when it's on someone's finger from an average distance. People are simply not going to pull your hand up to their face to closely examine your ring, and they're definitely not going to have specialized tools just in their pocket. If you're about to get engaged, save yourselves the money and just get a fake stone. submitted by /u/VenusAndEarth to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]
