21 Best Tech Gifts for Any Gadget Lover of 2025
This sleek ring provides highly accurate heart-rate monitoring and gives the user solid information on their sleep cycles. But it’s more expensive than many other sleep and fitness trackers, and at times it confuses inactivity with sleep.
The Oura Ring 4 is for anyone who wants to keep track of all their health stats all the time. It looks and wears like a sleek piece of jewelry, but it keeps tabs on way more than just steps and sleep. Among other things, it can tell the wearer their heart-rate variability, blood-oxygen rate, and body temperature. From those pieces of data, it assigns three daily scores in its accompanying app: one for sleep, one for activity, and one for readiness (how prepared the user is for the day based on the previous day’s activity and sleep). People use it to track their menstrual cycles and fertility windows, and the new “Symptom Radar” can detect changes in the body that indicate an oncoming illness long before the user starts sniffling. If the user isn’t meeting their health goals, the app gently suggests ways to increase activity, sleep, and relaxation. The Oura is available in silver, black, matte black, stealth, gold, and rose gold and a huge range of ring sizes. But it’s expensive and requires a $6-per-month app subscription, and it does make some mistakes, such as calculating lying on your back doing Wordle as sleep.
