I should stop wearing the Oura Ring, but I can’t

Andy Boxall/Digital Trends The Oura Ring smart ring is very frustrating. Not because it’s rubbish — quite the opposite, actually. It’s because I don’t think it’s reaching its potential, and I’m sounding like a broken record. That’s not good for any product, but it’s even worse when it has a monthly subscription fee attached.

The results are interesting, as they show that — despite not being medical…

Unfortunately, many of those changes haven’t been positive ones. Earlier this year, mass reports of Fitbit app crashes occurred three times over the span of just a month. Fitbit also recently ended support for older iPhones with iOS 14 or older and — perhaps more damning — killed off Fitbit’s most popular social features (including Challenges and…
