The Oura Ring Gen 3 may not have advanced motion sensors, built-in GPS or advanced workout tracking features, and as such, it will not be able to fully substitute your smartwatch. However, this smart ring does an excellent job as a rest and recovery tracker. It is smaller and lighter than most wrist-worn wearables, making it more comfortable to wear during sleep, and it comes with a much wider range of stress- and sleep-tracking features. Many fitness professionals (including ourselves) wear the Oura Ring alongside our trusted smartwatch to get a better picture of our overall health and fitness performance.

The Oura app deserves special recognition here. We like how beautifully designed, genuinely helpful and intuitive to use it is, and that is not something that we can confidently say about other smart ring apps we have tested. Even though it is subscription-based, it is well worth the investment. This smart ring is a great all-rounder for beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts alike, and now you can get it for less than $200.

Reviews consensus: Multiple testers rated the Oura Ring Gen 3 as the best smart ring and/ or one of the best sleep trackers. This smart ring outshines its competitors with its highly accurate sleep tracking, an informative and easy-to-understand app and long battery life. The Oura Ring Gen 3 also earned a lot of praise for its stylish looks and a wide range of size and color options. However, many reviewers complained about its subscription-based model and limited workout tracking features. Some testers also found this ring to be too bulky for comfortable all-day wear.
