Apple doesn’t sell a smart ring. If you want sleep and activity tracking in a ring, start with Oura Ring 5 or RingConn Gen 3 for iPhone. On Android, add the Samsung Galaxy Ring to your shortlist. Check phone support and subscription costs before choosing a size.

Oura Ring 5 for sleep and recovery
Oura brings sleep, activity, and readiness scores together in its app. The full experience uses a paid membership. Without it, you can still see the three daily scores, but the detailed breakdowns are limited. Oura advertises six to nine days per charge, depending on ring size and use. See the Ring 5 specifications and the membership terms.
RingConn Gen 3 for tracking without a subscription
RingConn Gen 3 works with its own app on supported iPhones and Android phones. The ring’s core tracking comes without a recurring subscription. Check the current app requirements, size options, and charger details for the model you buy. See RingConn’s Gen 3 specifications.
Galaxy Ring for Samsung Health
The Galaxy Ring tracks sleep and activity through Samsung Health without a separate ring subscription. It supports eligible Android phones. Some features, such as supported phone gestures and finding the ring through Samsung’s services, depend on the phone. iPhone users can use Oura or RingConn instead. See Samsung’s compatibility details.
Check fit, charging, and app support
- Use the maker’s sizing kit. A ring size can differ from jewelry sizes and from one brand to another. Wear the sample as instructed and check how it feels through the day and overnight.
- Check the charger for your size. Ring chargers can be model- or size-specific. Look for a replacement option if you travel often.
- Decide where you want to see the data. Look for the app features or data sharing you actually need. Oura’s Apple Health integration requires an active membership on supported rings. See Oura’s Apple Health guide.
These rings display their data in a phone app. If you want to check your workout on your wrist or use watch-specific features, see our guide to what Apple Watch sensors do.
