We compared smart ring heart rate data with smartwatches, and the results may surprise you


Our smart ring heart rate accuracy test measured how Oura, Samsung, Amazfit, Ultrahuman, and RingConn do when compared against smartwatches.

Most smart ring apps (besides Amazfit's Zepp Health) don't have the tools to export heart rate graphs for specific workouts, like you can with established fitness watch brands. Runners and cyclists want a watch for its GPS and screen data, and while you can lift weights while wearing a smart ring, it can distract from your grip and get scratched up unless you attach a silicone cover. On the other hand, the Helio Ring has unresolved problems like the limited number of sizes (three), short battery life (four days), and lack of automatic workout detection.
