While I wear watches on both of my wrists, that type of wearable isn't the best for tracking sleep without being disruptive. For more than two years, I have also had an Oura Gen3 Ring on my finger, and there have been some compelling updates to both the software and the hardware.
RingConn launched its Smart Ring back in 2023 after a successful Indiegogo campaign. I tested the RingConn Smart Ring -- Moonlit Silver, size 13 -- on my left index finger for about three weeks in 2024, and I liked it a lot. I soon became stuck deciding whether I should keep it or the Oura Gen3 Titanium ring. I wore the latter on my right index finger for comparison purposes over that same three-week period.

The Moonlit Silver color looks almost exactly like the brushed titanium Oura model, and it is very attractive. It is not completely round, with just a hint of a squircle shape, although most will think it is a circle at first glance. The size 13 one I am wearing weighs about 5 grams, and inside, you will find a 3D accelerometer, four temperature sensors, four PPG sensors, and a low-power Bluetooth module.
The RingConn Smart Ring is available for $259 in Moonlit Silver, Midnight Black, and Pale Gold. The ring is made of lightweight titanium, and each color has a matte finish. Sizes vary from 6 to 14, and the first step in the buying process is to have a sizing kit sent out to confirm the perfect size for your selected finger.

An IP68 waterproof rating is provided so you can wear the ring at all times. Just like the Oura Ring, the battery life is rated at one week. However, RingConn provides a unique portable charging case that contains a 500 mAh charger capable of keeping the ring going for up to 150 days.
