is a $170 smart ring that’s much cheaper than its competitors. How does it compare to its more expensive counterparts? I tested the ring by wearing it alongside my Oura Ring 4 to see how the data capture, recommendations, insights, and hardware compared.
is a solid choice for first-timers on a budget. It records health information clearly but doesn’t offer many insights or recommendations for further interpretation of this data.
If you are chiefly looking to monitor these things without the additional features of other smart rings, it’s an affordable choice.
I’d recommend it to those who are moderately active – that is, people who try to get their steps in and do general exercise — though I’d advise against buying this if you want to record a wide variety of activities because Renpho offers only 30 exercises to record.
If you use this for basic sleep and step tracking, you’ll be content.
Look elsewhere if you want a showstopping product, of which there are many more expensive options, including the Oura Ring 4, Galaxy Ring, and RingConn Gen 2.
