4 smart rings you should buy instead of the Oura Ring 5

The Oura Ring 5 launched just a few weeks ago, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about it. I’ve been testing one since then, and there is a lot to like about the new device. Oura helped put smart rings on the map, and the company’s latest only improves on its successful lineup. However, if the launch has you thinking about adding a finger-based wearable to your collection, Oura isn’t the only option.

The smart ring market is also a lot more crowded than it used to be. Oura may still be the biggest name in the category, but it’s far from the only one worth considering. Whether you’re looking to avoid a subscription, prioritize fitness tracking, or simply trying to get the best value for your money, these are the smart rings I’d recommend shopping.
