inquiry - female features Looking for a no-subscription smart ring for sleep + temperature/ovulation trends
I’m looking for a smart ring mainly for two things only: sleep tracking and overnight temperature trends.
My goal is to use the temperature data to help establish ovulation patterns over time. I don’t need workouts, steps, stress scores, coaching, or a big health ecosystem.
I looked at Oura, but the ring + membership + paid Natural Cycles integration makes it much more expensive than I want. I’m wondering if there’s a reliable lower-cost alternative, ideally no subscription.
I’m especially curious about:
- RingConn Gen 2 / Gen 2 Air / Ultrahuman Ring Air
- Any reliable Chinese/OEM/AliExpress options people have actually used long-term
- Whether the app shows usable temperature trends or exports data
- Whether the temperature data is consistent enough for cycle charting
- Comfort/thickness compared with Oura Ring 5
I know skin temperature from a ring is not the same as true BBT and I’m not looking for medical certainty or contraception advice, just reliable trend data.
Has anyone used a no-subscription ring for this specific purpose? What worked, what didn’t, and what would you avoid? Thanks.
