Should you wear a smart ring every day? There are many facets to this question. But at the end of the day, the most sensible answer would be—it depends. However, if you are wearing a health and fitness smart ring like the Ultrahuman Ring Air, Oura Ring, or RingConn, it’s important to gather data consistently in order for them to be effective.
Most health and fitness smart rings take at least two weeks to find your baseline, whether it’s for your normal heart rate, sleep habits, activities, and more. This is why you need to wear your smart ring 24/7, at least in the first few weeks, in order for it to gather the right baseline.
In my personal experience, there was a time (months long) when I only wore my Oura Ring when sleeping. I had irregular sleeping habits—I would sleep at 4 PM one day and 4 AM on another. In a sense, I had a shifting sleeping schedule. Unfortunately, my ring did not take it well. When I slept at 4 PM, it recorded my sleep as a nap at times. And sometimes, it wouldn’t be recorded for the day at all and instead carry it over to the following day. Basically, the right got confused.
Wearing your smart ring on a consistent basis (ideally 24/7) allows the device to understand your activities, and how your body responds, and ultimately get accurate data.
