The smart ring arena seems to be at a tipping point. Shoppers have more options than ever, yet the majority of them flock to the recently established brands that have led the way in the still nascent product category. Oura continues to win users over with a reliable platform and trusted hardware, while Samsung has immediately started to build a loyal user base with, well, its name mostly.
Despite these looming giants, the developers at RingConn have every intention of keeping a seat at the table. The company is already on its second generation device, building on what I liked about the original model to produce a well-priced sleeper pick. It’s not a perfect health and fitness tracker, but I think it does deserve consideration from potential smart ring adopters.
