What's your preferred form factor for health tracking devices? Ring, watch, headphones?

@jaughnekow Ай бұрын

ring, cos it is less distracting

No subscription, but it can only be used with Galaxy devices. So unless you have one, a subscription probably works out to be cheaper

What is the benefit to getting a smart ring in addition too or instead of a smart watch It sounds like a solution looking for a problem to me Change my mind 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TheErsatzCrab Ай бұрын

There's really no benefit if you already have a smartwatch. Personally, I prefer to wear non-smart (mechanical or quartz) watches, so a smart ring is appealing to me so I can still have health and fitness tracking without needing a watch.

@headerahelix Ай бұрын

Benefit: two readings will always be better than one. And redundancy: if you're charging one, you'll have the other available in all likelihood. It's also very easy for the watches to lose skin contact during exercise and sleep, which is an issue the ring solves.

At that price range and being such a niche product, I’m surprised this exists. Maybe it’ll drop in price in the months following like Samsung phones normally do but $400 is quite the ask

@TheErsatzCrab Ай бұрын

That's fair. If you own it more than 16 months, though, it'll even out to the same price of the Oura since they have a $6/month subscription.

@Digital-_-Spirit Ай бұрын

@@TheErsatzCrab It will be interesting to see if these rings catch on in popularity. When smartwatches first came out, they were very much a solution in search of a problem but the health features have given them great value. So a wearable piece of tech that’s sole purpose is health monitoring makes lots of sense. I do see a friction point being that it has less heath tracking features than a smartwatch (this is partly why I believe the Apple Watches became more popular than Fitbits).

@@jd_carefree I’m aware, but The esthetics is very minimalist, and Samsung is no artisan jeweler. Then again, Apple was able to outsell all the watch brands and it isn’t uncommon for people to wear multiple rings… That being said, for those who don’t already have a smartwatches (the target audience in my opinion) is it’s featureset enough? Anyone with an Oura Ring care to share their experience?
