There are cheaper rings out there, for sure, and I always feel like I'm in a rock in a hard place when it comes to health data. All the good health data is locked behind subscriptions and other people's servers and all the open stuff is, unfortunately, inaccurate and not super helpful.

My current setup is an Amazfit 6 using GadgetBridge. You touch the ZephOS servers once to get your pairing key and then the rest of it lives on your phone, which to me is ideal, but the data is meh at best.

I used to use a whoop, but that is ridiculously expensive, yearly, and oura not only is the device smaller and easier to tolerate wearing all the time, (I already rock a couple of rings.) but it's also significantly cheaper at a yearly cost, so even if the upfront cost is kind of big, my stupid brain that likes to see numbers to help quantify things is seriously tempted to get one of the rings and pay the yearly subscription.
