5.0 out of 5 stars Happy so far, great features
This arrived today, and I'm pretty jazzed about it. I was tired of having to choose whether I wanted my apple watch for steps during the day or sleep at night, cause during one of those time it needs to be charged each day. I am mostly ecited to wear the ring for sleep, or for special occasions when I'd rather not be wearing a fitness watch. It's a bulky ring like all fitness rings, but for less than a 4th of the price of the big name in smart rings, and no silly monthly subscription, this was absolutely the right choice. So far, I am getting a good step count (though the delay in displaying this data is a bit annoying), and I really like taking my BP this way. I had a BP machine squeeze the heck out of my arm once, so they give me anxiety now, and it was great to have a reading when my anxiety was not through the roof. I compared heart rate and blood oxygen to my Apple Watch and got the same reading, so accuracy seems on par with other fitness devices. Edited to add: Sleep tracking does not seem as accurate as on the Apple Watch - I know I was awake at 4am the first night and it didn’t catch it. But I think it’s still good enough to be helpful. I have found that it won’t sync your sleep data until you’ve been up and moving for a bit so don’t be concerned if it doesn’t load the instant you wake up. Beginning day 3 with the ring and I still have 54% battery. Like another reviewer, I wasn't able to find any company provided info about how to use the camera which is an oversight, but I figured it out and am happy to share! In the app, click on the icon in the top right that has your paired ring. Then choose ""More settings"" and ""Photograph"". I was getting a message that said Remind: camera not available (clear as mud),on this screen you need to click ""Sure"". It will take you to your phone's camera settings to enable permissions. I allowed all access. Then came back to the app. After the ring disconnected and reconnected, clicking into Photograph then let me open a camera within the app. It appears it will take a picture after you wave with the hand you are wearing the ring with. Pretty nifty. Read more
