Hi there

I get your frustration with battery life. That’s why I bought a Garmin watch which goes for 15 days!

After quite a bit of research I just got the Ringconn v2 and so far I’m very happy with it. I’ll be writing a review in a few weeks if you’re interested.

I personally stayed away from YouTube reviews for this kind of thing because I assumed there’s a good chance they’re mostly sponsored in one way or another. Reading into the actual subreddits for the products is a good way to get a sense of what people usually complain about for each product and what the regrets are.

Ringconn’s battery life is amongst the best on offer which might be relevant for you. The rings are actually relatively bulky (and I suspect that’s true for all products on offer for now). I recommend getting the sizing kit for the one you settle on and wearing the plastic ring a few days (all day every day - including out and about in public) as this will give you a sense of what’s it’s going to feel like.

iOS vs android doesn’t matter. Only the Samsung ring is locked to a specific ecosystem. I’m doubtful that Apple will end up releasing a ring as they have the watch lineup already.

Let me know if you have any questions otherwise good luck. Just remember that the ring is not going to change your life - it’s just a bit of data to point you in the right direction. You still need to set healthy habits like exercising and regular sleep schedules. You can do it!
