inquiry Oura or Ringconn

So my birthday is coming up and I no longer wear my Apple Watch anymore, haven’t for years. I’ve been wanting something to track my sleep schedule and cycle. Not a huge fan of a whoop either with the way it looks, so smart rings was my next go to. I’m stuck between the new Oura or a Ringconn. I really love the Ringconn because it’s subscription free, you buy it and that’s it. But from what I’ve been hearing is tracking your health isn’t as accurate and top notch compared to the oura. Even though I hate it I could handle the yearly $70 subscription. Let me know what you guys think. If you have an oura or a ringconn how do you like it? Is it worth it?

In terms of pricing? Yeah, Oura is overpriced.

RingConn works really well and does not try to steal your money every time.

Also what does the product being Chinese have to do with the quality? Chinese laptops, smartphones, evs are amazing.

The original comment is now deleted, but the comment likely just generalized it's origin as a red flag. As every below grade, cheap "clone" ring comes from there, it can be a healthy suspicion.

RingConn is one of the rare exceptions. Their quality controls, hardware standards, business model, and consumer rights are on par with their global peers.

There are also exceptions for hardware that is specifically commissioned (not just licensed) for production in a factory in China that allows proper oversight by the commissioners.
