In this video, I’m eating a little bit of humble pie: I switched back to Oura after spending time with RingConn, and I explain exactly why. This isn’t a “spec sheet” comparison—this is about what actually matters once you live with a smart ring every day: how the platform is evolving, what integrations are coming, and which ecosystem is building the kind of health dashboard I personally want to use long-term. I also break down the bigger story happening behind the scenes, including the patent dispute outcomes and what that means for the smart ring market going forward. Then I get into the real reason I changed my mind—Oura’s new health integrations, like glucose monitor support (I talk about Stelo) and lab testing integrations (including my Function Health bloodwork results). Finally, I compare pricing and subscriptions, and I wrap it up with the question I always try to answer: which smart ring is actually best for you based on your priorities, budget, and whether you care more about hardware value or the software + insights you’re buying into.
