Smart rings are shockingly good at step counting, with one critical flaw

Quick Summary:

We tested our favorite smart rings from Samsung, Oura, Amazfit, Ultrahuman, and RingConn and compared their step-count accuracy against our favorite smartwatches from Samsung, Garmin, Google, and others.Here's what we learned.

In my cheap fitness watch accuracy test this March, the Forerunner 165 (+11 steps after 5,000) did excellently, while the Coros Pace 3 (+84) and Fitbit Charge 6 (-199) weren't quite as reliable.

We tested the most popular smart rings today, and three of them outperformed our favorite smartwatches for exact step counts.
