I bought this slim silver ring on a whim, assuming it would end up in the same drawer as all the other fitness gadgets I have tried. Instead, it has taken the place of the bulky wrist band that used to rattle against my laptop every time I typed. The size 7 slipped on without a wrestle and, at less than three grams, it feels no heavier than my wedding band.
Beneath the polished surface sits a surprisingly busy collection of sensors. It keeps count of my steps, heart rate, SpO₂, blood pressure, stress level, and, when my wife borrows it, her cycle data as well. Each morning my phone greets me with a tidy sleep report: REM and deep phases laid out in graphs, and a set of gentle lullabies has trimmed my usual bedtime dithering to about ten minutes.
The battery performance borders on witchcraft. The ring itself manages five full days, and the charging case provides another seven refills, so I only have to hunt for a plug twice a month. It sailed through a rain-soaked round of golf and survived a few pool lengths, courtesy of its IP68 seal. One quick tap of my finger will pause my music or trigger the camera, which saves me from scrabbling for my mobile phone.
Sturdy construction, dependable data, and an almost forget-about-it recharge schedule make this ring excellent value for money.
