Apple Watch vs. Smart Ring: An Author's Health Tech Switch

An author ditched their Apple Watch for a smart ring called Ultrahuman Ring Air.

The switch was driven by a need for more detailed health insights during life changes, like perimenopause.

The ring offers data on sleep, heart rate, and body temperature without a distracting screen or expensive subscriptions.

It provides insights on things like sleep debt and vitamin D exposure, which are useful for the user's well-being.

Although the ring does not provide real-time alerts for hot flashes, its discreet design, long battery life and health-focused features proved superior.
