probably because smart rings are stupid
Each to their own. I have an Oura ring and primarily for me the benefit is sleep tracking because I can’t for the life of me wear an Apple Watch to bed, it’s just too uncomfortable and I have tried many times.
The sleep tracking managed to help me make adjustments as it showed how often I was awake, how much deep sleep etc.
Also, the HRV graph is something that watch can’t provide. Some other watches do measure HRV, but you only get a daily average, so you can’t really draw any conclusions about the shape of the graph.
My Garmin also shows the shape of the graph, but to be honest I don’t trust it at that resolution. I just keep track of the moving average, which is the main value that is shown. I do agree that that kind of data shouldn’t be hidden from the user.
I dont know i have been waiting for some nerd to build a wand vr controller or magic controller rings because just the premise alone tickets my fantasies.
Impractical maybe, i just want someone to try and publish results.
Apple will just wait til oura makes it mainstream then Apple will reinvent it and sell out
