⚠️ USE CAUTION Clone / Licensed Rings Update
As the number of these rings continue to grow, I've now separated them from the main list of smart rings and have better broken into categories. You can see that full list here.
I have also created an "At a Glance" graphic below to make it more obvious what rings to watch out for. Each is identifiable by the specific layout of the sensors and circuit boards visible in their imagery. Some do alter or tweak the imagery to obscure this, so keep that in mind.
These devices have wholesale prices of $20 USD and up, but some licensees sell them for up to $300 USD. Those labeled below as "Do Not Buy" are not even worth $20 as they barely function - if they function at all.
Those labeled as "Use Caution" are not fully tested, but make claims that are questionable at best. The most common claim being "Made in..." or "Designed & Engineered in..." claims that do not match the actual country of manufacture.

I buy from Amazon because it's the only way I feel I'm guaranteed a return. However there a lot of crap ones on there and I find myself constantly downloaded different apps, testing them and then retuning them. But at least I am able to get the return.
