Smart Watch or Smart Ring? Weigh Your Wellness Options

Smart rings have evolved over the years and are now equipped with various health features. But while they’re starting to sound like the next big thing in the health and fitness market, do they have what it takes to become an alternative to the smartwatch?

Both of these smart devices offer similar purposes and features but are made for different people with different lifestyles and preferences. Knowing their key functions is an essential step before making a decision. So, let’s weigh your wellness options with these smart wearables from the Next Upgrade Shop!

Smartwatch

Smartwatches currently provide the most accurate and real-time speed of heart rate, laps, and other specific metrics that fall under various fitness and sport-related categories. They offer adjustable straps for customized wrist fitting, a screen for active connectivity with smartphones, and other standalone features like playing music, making calls, and other app controls.

The mWell Prestige Watch is a smartwatch that features 100+ exercise tracking and sports modes, a crisp AMOLED display of your step counter, and a heart rate and blood pressure monitor to help you stay on top of your fitness goals. It also offers a holistic mWell Score when paired with the mWell App to help you gain a deeper understanding of your overall health and wellness status. This dust and water-resistant smartwatch also promises a battery life of up to 7 days and comes with a free strap when you purchase it from the Next Upgrade Shop for only ₱2,999. 

Smart Ring

Smart rings, however, are designed to be more passive, discreet, and sleek, making them a more comfortable choice for overnight wear and an excellent option if you’re trying to reduce your screen time while still monitoring your health. One of the key advantages of a smart ring is its accuracy with sleep tracking and steady measurements of your heart rate and other movements.

The mWell Ring is a sleep and wellness tracker ideal for all-day, everyday wear. This smart ring provides in-depth sleep analysis from light sleep, and deep sleep to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and holistic health metrics that monitor your heart rate and blood oxygen saturation 24/7. It also provides an overall mWellness Score based on your exercise, light activity, sedentary behavior, steps, and sleep via the mWell App. The lightweight, scratch-resistant and water resistant smart ring promises a battery life of up to 7 days. The mWell Ring is available in 8 different sizes in black, silver, and bronze for ₱8,999 at the Next Upgrade Shop. 

These smart wearables cater to different preferences and needs and have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you value convenient, real-time, detailed access to your fitness app, then a smartwatch is the way to go. But if you prefer more discreet wear and want to focus on your overall health and sleeping habits, a smart ring would be a good investment for your wellness.
