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

Quick Summary:

After the Oura Ring 4 launched with a major fitness focus, we decided to test it and other smart rings to determine how well they do for heart rate accuracy.

Nick and I own the Galaxy Ring and Ultrahuman Ring Air, respectively, with no other smart rings.

I asked him to work out while wearing each, compared against smartwatches that we've tested with reliable optical heart rate accuracy, and see how close the smart rings came to a proper result.
