I wanted to love the Circular Ring Slim, but this isn’t the Oura Ring alternative you need

With a Samsung Galaxy Ring imminent and the Oura Ring 3 on more fingers by the day, it’s clear the smart ring trend is here to stay. Whether you want to track stats more covertly or you don’t want to be distracted by a colorful AMOLED display, there are plenty of reasons to consider this small form factor. But not all rings are created equally. I tested the Circular Smart Ring Slim to learn more about its capabilities and dig into the user experience. While I’m excited to see more options on the market, this $264 smart ring needs some work before earning a permanent spot on one of my top ten digits.

Slim is relative, and that’s not the only design flaw
