Samsung's smart ring debut put the products firmly in the spotlight, with one analyst predicting that Apple could launch its own smart ring in 2026.

      Each to their own. I have an Oura ring and primarily for me the benefit is sleep tracking because I can’t for the life of me wear an Apple Watch to bed, it’s just too uncomfortable and I have tried many times.

      The sleep tracking managed to help me make adjustments as it showed how often I was awake, how much deep sleep etc.

        Newer Apple Watches added that feature 2 years ago: https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/7/23341259/apple-watch-series-8-ovulation-period-tracking-temperature-sensor https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102674

        Yes, Oura ring is the best natural birth control available today.

      I’ll take a ring over the smart watch any day. Battery life alone, makes this easier. Drives me nuts to see my coworkers, friends, dates, just looking at their watch as we chat away or work, then complain about so many alerts.

      So no, smart rings are not stupid

      Apple are brave that way. I mean, they introduced oled maybe 15 years later in a revolutionary media launch. Amazing.
