Oura is going public, but these smart ring companies are coming for its crown

Oura has long led the smart ring market, but a growing field of competitors is trying to challenge its dominance. These companies are taking varied approaches to stand out, from different hardware designs to new health-tracking features and business models.

The category appears to be moving from niche wellness gadget to a more competitive wearable segment. As rivals pressure Oura, consumers may see faster innovation, lower prices, and clearer differentiation in wearable health products.
