When smartphones came about, many people were skeptical about it. That was until technology won them over. The same happened when smartwatches came about. While many said no one will replace the beautiful analogue watches, people did and in large numbers.

Now, with the advent of smart rings, many are expressing the same skepticism, but the buzz around smart rings, despite some of them being expensive, proves this gadget will become common too.

A good smart ring can measure, track, and analyse health-related data to offer personal fitness tips. Here, we have curated five smart rings, readily available in India, that take your wellness game to the next level.

But, before we get to the available options, here are a few things you need to consider before buying one.

Get the right-sized ring

Smart rings work best when they offer a snug fit, and this is why it is important to get the right-sized smart ring. Depending on the brand, smart rings will be available in multiple sizes. A ring size kit will help you decide on the right ring size. While some brands offer these ring size kits for a small fee, most company’s offer it for free of cost.

Get one that works with your smartphone

Some smart rings like the Galaxy Ring are only compatible with Android smartphones, while most of the options can be paired to an Android or an iOS device. Hence, it is always important to look into the nitty gritty before circling down on one specific model.

Look for different materials and colour options

Smart rings, besides being a fitness tracker, can also be a style statement. Some of the high-end smart rings are made using premium materials like titanium, while budget options settle for stainless steel. If you are considering a smart ring as a fashion accessory, then explore different designs and colour options.
