Looking to track your health without wearing a bulky smartwatch? Smart rings are having a moment, and for good reason. These sleek, lightweight wearables can monitor sleep, heart rate, recovery, and more—all from your finger.
But are they accurate? Are they worth it? And which ones are currently available in the Philippines?
Let’s break it down.
It depends on both the device and how you wear it.
Smart rings generally do a good job at tracking sleep, heart rate trends, and general wellness, but they’re not always as precise during intense activity like HIIT or running. And unlike smartwatches, they don’t have the advantage of larger sensors or real-time screens to help you monitor things instantly.
But here’s something many users overlook: where you wear your smart ring actually matters.
Most brands recommend wearing the smart ring on your index or middle finger, not your ring finger (even though it feels most natural there). Why? Those fingers typically have better blood flow and more consistent circulation, which leads to more accurate sensor readings.
That being said, don’t expect smart rings to outperform smartwatches in raw accuracy. The wrist has more surface area for sensors, which helps smartwatches collect more data in real-time especially for things like blood oxygen levels and workout heart rate monitoring.
So if you’re deciding between a smart ring or a smartwatch, think of it this way:
Bottom line: smart rings are accurate enough for everyday health monitoring, but their accuracy can vary depending on the model, how snug it fits, and where you wear it. If you’re seeing weird readings, try switching fingers and make sure the ring is worn snugly (but not too tight).
