As long as you can remember that the ‘advice’ the ring and app is offering you is just that – advice – and that it must be weighed up against your real life and your real priorities, then I think the Oura Ring can be a modest and unassuming companion for those of you worried that you may have lost touch with the body you live in. Movano has applied for FDA approval for its heart rate tech, so it means business about accuracy. Most devices caveat that they aren't used for medical purposes, but Movano is going for the gold standard for heart rate and SpO2. That data can be stored freely in the app and cloud and can also be shared with doctors and health professionals, which is good to see here. What's not so good to see is that the design of the ring makes it quite uncomfortable to wear for exercise and sleep. While it's light, the spring-loaded design that keeps it in place makes it awkward to wear in most scenarios.

How can a small ring on my finger accurately measure the intensity of my workout or differentiate between a brisk walk and a jog? I’m not as skeptical with these claims as those made about sleep; the metrics involved are far more simple, and have far more research behind them. Plus, if it saves me wearing a watch that makes me look like I’m on the starting lineup of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, that can only be a positive, right?

The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro is also on sale right now. Equipped with advanced 3D motion detection, this camera offers Bird's Eye View alerts, helping you better spot what exactly triggered the sensors.This, however, took years of practice. For many, this simply isn’t the case. In fact, many people I’ve worked with in the past couldn’t properly define how their body ‘feels’ on any given day. They couldn’t guess how they’re likely to perform in any given gym session, and they definitely couldn’t tell you with any degree of accuracy what the factors in their life are that are liable to effect their training, recovery and subsequent progress towards their goals. If you're looking for the best smart ring out there, this is still the one to beat.
