Issue No.142: Why my husband is obsessed with a ring 

DJ, my beloved husband and co-founder of Be Well bought a Samsung Galaxy Ring recently.

It’s not his first rodeo by any means, he’s had about 20 different watches, fitbits and other health tracking gadgets for decades. He’s definitely an early adopter but none of them have transformed his life quite like this latest ring. He’s completely obsessed with the depth and breadth of the intelligence this latest wearable is giving him.

So what’s new in wearables?

We’re entering a new era of personal health where your wearable doesn’t just track you, it actually understands you. The latest generation of AI-powered wearables is a leap forward in how we care for ourselves. 

The breakthrough isn’t the hardware. It’s the intelligence. Wearables today don’t just collect data, they learn you. They respond to your lifestyle, your stress patterns, your recovery, your environment and even your emotional state. And increasingly, they coach you in real time.

This shift from reactive tracking to predictive support is the real game-changer.

The standouts in 2025

Samsung Galaxy Ring

DJ’s Galaxy Ring is one of the most advanced consumer-ready wearables available today. Its AI engine interprets sleep, stress patterns and recovery to give you timely nudges before burnout or overtraining creep in.
Why it matters: Early intervention prevents chronic fatigue, inflammation and stress accumulation, three of the biggest drivers of ageing.

Oura Ring Gen 4

Still the gold standard for recovery and sleep, Oura’s micro-goals and “readiness” scores adapt to your physiology every single morning.
Why it matters: You’re coached to work with your biology, not against it, a fundamental principle of healthy ageing and longevity.

Incora Health Smart Earrings

Still emerging, but one of the most exciting female-first innovations: discreet earrings that track hormonal rhythms, fertility, stress and sleep.
Why it matters: Women finally get continuous, non-invasive hormonal and cycle insights, something drastically missing from the wearable landscape.

Circular Ring 2

Although not fully mainstream yet, Circular’s next version aims for instant heart rhythm checks and deeper cardiovascular analytics, and it’s subscription-free!
Why it matters: Heart health is still the #1 predictor of longevity; more accessible early warning tools save lives.

Ultrahuman Rare & Next-Gen Rings

Ultrahuman continues pushing metabolic health and environmental wellness tech. A new ring design is in development.
Why it matters: Understanding your stress-load, glucose patterns and recovery cycles is essential for midlife vitality.

And coming soon…

InTruth

Using biometric emotion detection, InTruth aims to read your internal emotional landscape, not just your physiology.
Why it matters: Emotional literacy is central to long-term wellbeing. Imagine receiving early signals when you’re drifting into overwhelm, anxiety or shutdown.

Ultrahuman’s Next Ring

The new model focuses on precision metabolic health, recovery, and environmental inputs.
Why it matters: This is where wearables move from fitness gadgets to holistic health systems.

Polar Loop (Screenless Tracker)

A sleek, no-screen wearable designed for effortless, 24/7 use without distraction.
Why it matters: It’s ideal for those who want deep insights without the noise of yet another screen, supporting mindful, distraction-free health.

This isn’t about gadgets. It’s about empowerment.

Wearables in 2025 help you understand:

• when you need rest before you burnout

• when your hormones shift and why you feel different

• when your resilience is dropping

• when stress is accumulating

• when illness or injury risk is rising

• how your environment affects your energy.

For our Be Well community, many of whom are juggling demanding work, families, perimenopause, ageing parents, careers and health goals, this level of personalised insight is transformative.

Preventive health becomes easier.
Self-awareness becomes effortless.
And your everyday choices become smarter, kinder and more aligned with your biology.

This is the closest we’ve come to personalised, preventive health in the palm of your hand or on your finger, wrist, or even your earlobe!

Here’s to living younger, longer, better – together!

See you again at Be Well soon
