I wore a Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch for for a couple of years before switching to the Oura Ring. With the Galaxy Watch, I enjoy a number of its features such as counting daily steps, heart rate, timer, & controlling my music during workouts - in fact I still use it regularly for these features. I had also wanted to use it to track my sleep, but I found it uncomfortable to wear a watch overnight. 

I was introduced to the Oura ring around the time that I started using InsideTracker. The Oura ring connects to InsideTracker and provides it with bimetric data about your sleep, heart rate, & activity. InsideTracker also connects with watches such as the Apple watch and Garmin, but I was most interested in a health tracker I could wear comfortably overnight. 

My initial thinking was that I simply wanted to wear the ring and let it sync with InsideTracker. Then, I could view all of the data via InsideTracker's app as I wasn't too interested in having yet another app(Oura Ring) to pull up on my phone everyday. Well, that all changed when I got my Oura ring and checked out their app. It has so much in depth, easy to understand actionable data on readiness, sleep, activity, stress levels, etc., that I use their app every single day.
