Smart rings are a relatively newer form of wearable tech that sits on your finger and offers continuous health and activity tracking discreetly. The finger has higher blood perfusion and thinner skin than the wrist, which can improve the accuracy of optical sensors. Smart rings suit users who want subtle, always-on biometric insights without notifications, distraction or screen time. They could appeal to athletes who prioritise recovery metrics, and they appeal to regular wellness-focused users who want sleep analytics, readiness scores and physiological context. This article examines the most popular smart rings available in India, ranked by price from lowest to highest. You can find their key specs and features to pick the one that fits your bill.

The Boat ring’s external chassis is titanium alloy with a claimed 6H pencil-hardness rating, which suggests improved resistance to minor scratches and abrasion compared with softer metallised finishes. It is rated 5 ATM water resistance, suitable for showers, sweat and surface swimming.
Valour Ring 1 tracks 24×7 heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), heart rate variability (HRV) and skin temperature. It supports 40 activity and sports modes, including walking, running, HIIT and strength training, and offers automated sleep staging with REM, light and deep cycles as well as daytime nap detection.
The ring works with the Boat Crest app over Bluetooth and supports both Android and iOS devices.
The Boat Valour Ring 1 follows a one-time purchase model with no mandatory subscription for accessing core health metrics. There are no hidden recurring fees for basic data synchronisation or app access.
Battery life is claimed at up to 15 days on a single charge under ideal conditions, though continuous SpO2, HRV and sleep tracking typically normalise closer to 7 days. You charge it via a portable Type-C charging case. A full charge from 0 to 100% takes around 90 minutes.
Price: Rs 13,775
Internally, the Gabit ring uses three sensor bumps to improve optical contact with skin, improving signal fidelity during motion. Externally, it is titanium. It carries 5 ATM water resistance, allowing showering, sweating and light swimming.
The sensor suite includes PPG heart rate, skin temperature and 3D accelerometer. Health tracking includes HRV, period, VO2 Max, and deep sleep analytics, including stats like REM, light and deep sleep stages represented by a comprehensive sleep score. It supports automatic activity detection by default, but you can turn it off. AI features include personalised insights, which are also part of the repertoire.
The ring uses BLE 5.0 and is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
Battery capacity ranges with ring size, yielding up to 7 days on a single charge. Charging occurs via a proprietary charging case with a USB-C interface. Full recharge typically completes in under 120 minutes.
The Gabit Smart Ring combines a one-time hardware purchase with optional subscription tiers for advanced coaching, nutrition planning and personalised workout programmes. Basic biometric data access does not require a subscription, but the full ecosystem’s value is tied to recurring service fees.

The Galaxy Ring has three internal sensor bumps to enhance skin contact, which improves optical signal quality. Its Grade 5 titanium exterior and concave design aim to protect the outer surface from direct abrasion, contributing to superior scratch resistance. It carries IP68 and 10 ATM dust and water resistance, which should be suitable for showers, swimming in a pool or even an ocean.
Samsung’s sensor array tracks continuous heart rate, HRV, SpO2 and skin temperature. Sleep tracking includes staging and advanced recovery insights. It auto-tracks walks and runs.
Galaxy Ring currently works only with Android devices (Android 11 or above) and lacks support for iOS or iPhone.
Galaxy AI synthesises biometric data into actionable summaries such as the Energy Score. It also supports AI-driven gestures, like double pinch to control the camera shutter or dismiss alarms, adding functional value without a screen.
Battery life claims reach up to 7 days, depending on size. The ring ships with a transparent clamshell charging case that holds its own battery, enabling multiple recharges without connecting to mains power.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring adopts a one-time purchase model with all core health tracking and Galaxy AI features included, and no subscription is required for baseline metrics.
Price: Rs 25,999
Amazfit Helio’s body is titanium alloy with a brushed finish, which may show minor surface scuffs over long-term abrasive use. It is rated 10 ATM, supporting water exposure equivalent to 100 metres, suitable for showers, swimming and water sports.
Sensors measure continuous heart rate, SpO2, VO2 Max, and HRV, while a dedicated electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor quantifies stress via skin conductance. Sleep tracking is detailed, providing stages and sleep quality.
It supports both Android and iOS, and data can synchronise with external platforms like Apple Health and Google Fit.
The Zepp Aura suite includes an AI wellness assistant, natural language interpretation of health data and custom sleep soundscapes.
It is said to run up to 4 days and can be charged via a USB-C wireless cradle. A full charge takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The Amazfit Helio Smart Ring is positioned in the upper segment with a one-time purchase model. This ring includes the Zepp Aura Premium suite, free for ring owners, which includes Sports Coach, AI Chatbot and more.
Price: Rs 28,499
The Ultrahuman ring also has a titanium build with Tungsten Carbide Carbon coating, which enhances scratch resistance significantly more than uncoated titanium. It offers 10 ATM water resistance, supporting depths up to 100 metres for swimming and high-pressure water exposure.
The health features include continuous heart rate, SpO2, HRV, skin temperature trends, VO2 Max estimation, movement frequency and recovery patterns. Ultrahuman Ring Air also brings premium features like Cardio Adaptability metrics for stress and recovery,
The ring works with both Android and iOS devices via BLE 5.0.
It is rated to run 4–6 days, and is backed by a charging puck that takes around 180 minutes for a full recharge. There is no portable charging case.
The Ultrahuman Ring Air is the priciest contender in this list, but you just have to make a one-time purchase and get access to all core health and recovery insights.
In conclusion, features and the overall experience do increase with price, but not always in a linear fashion. Lower-cost rings pack the baseline tracking features. Higher-priced rings add deeper analytics, stronger materials and richer interpretations. Just ensure to buy the right ring size. Most brands offer a ring finger sizing kit to ascertain this. Do try that first.
