The Oura Ring (left) and the RingConn Smart Ring Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Companies that make smart rings have a problem on their hands. Or fingers. Despite smart rings being a fairly new set of products, most of them are already lacking creativity when it comes to names. They all seem happy to pick a say-what-it-is name and be done with it. I get why, but it’s not good enough for a product that straddles both tech and fashion. Yes, it’s a smart ring The Ultrahuman Ring Air (black) and the Oura Ring Andy Boxall /…

Samsung announced the Galaxy Fit 3 earlier today, and I can't stop thinking that it might be time for the rectangular smartwatch form factor, originally made popular by Apple, to cross over to the full-fledged Galaxy Watch smartwatch series. As a Galaxy Watch 5 owner myself — one who has been wearing his smartwatch daily for almost a year — I'm willing to admit that the round design just isn't ideal for the One UI Watch interface. I believe it's time for Samsung to make some compromises and rethink its smartwatch series,…

But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  is already concerned about misleading marketing tactics, even though the feature is yet to appear on a commercially available smartwatch from a well-known brand. “The FDA has not authorized, cleared, or approved any smartwatch or smart ring that is intended…

OnePlus OnePlus has just dropped the first official look at its upcoming smartwatch ahead of the official reveal later this month at Mobile World Congress 2024. But more than looks, what really caught our attention was the brand’s bold claims about battery life. “With up to 100-hour battery life in Smart Mode, it sets a new industry standard, ensuring that your watch keeps pace with your life, uninterrupted,” says the company. Now, that’s a rather ambitious claim, irrespective of the operating system  that powers…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The choice of smart rings is growing, and if you’re tempted by one, it’s a great time to get started. However, buying a smart ring isn’t like buying a smartwatch or a Fitbit. There are specific aspects to a smart ring that you should consider before choosing and purchasing one, especially if you’ve never worn a ring of any type before. I’ve worn an Oura Ring for several years, plus I’ve spent many weeks reviewing the Ultrahuman Ring Air and the RingConn Smart Ring, am currently testing…
