Oura Ring 5 and RingConn Gen 3 split the 6 categories we compared evenly, 1 wins each (4 tied).
Oura Ring 5 vs RingConn Gen 3: our verdict
RingConn Gen 3 makes the most sense for someone who wants the longest battery life you can get in a smart ring and doesn’t want a subscription hanging over it. If charging less often is high on your list, this is the one to get. Skip it if you want the lightest possible feel on your finger. The heavier build means you give up the lighter weight some users might prefer.
Oura 5 makes more sense if the lightest possible feel is your top priority and you want a ring that’s easier to forget you’re wearing. If you care more about price or want to avoid paying extra for less battery, skip it.
