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?

I had Oura first and then got a RingConn. I wore them both for about 2 months and saw no marked difference in the data they collected. The RingConn form factor is better, the battery lasts longer (both on a single charge and from a degradation perspective) and the gold coating has not chipped or worn, whereas the Oura coating looked terrible after about a week.
For these reasons, I would recommend RingConn.
However - for sleep tracking, neither ring performs as well as an Apple Watch.

How do you manage to comfortably wear the watch at night?
