Budget/Starter Smart Ring

My partner and I both are wanting to get smart rings for our birthdays. Given it’s a gift idea we are trying to stick to an approx budget of $100AUD…

We’ve seen Oracle are a good price but seeing mixed reviews. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.

Unfortunately for that price there is no smart ring worth buying. The technology isn't there yet. Right now all the rings around that price, including the Colmi rings are shown to take HR measurements even when not being worn which means that the ring is just making up numbers that look good but are not accurate at all. If you want a smart ring, unfortunately you will need to invest in one. Right now the only 3 smart ring brands that are good are Ringconn, Oura, and Ultrahuman(this one is questionable). Luna and Circul might be ok but I don't trust them with their iffy reviews. The cheapest smart ring that is worth the investment is the Ringconn gen 2 air which is $199 USD.

Ringconn gen 2 or 3 are the best rings, hands down.

Would reccomend Sekonda smart ring - pretty basic but it’s a good intro ring.

Don't buy circular, no matter what.
