Our verdict on each
Circular
Circular suits anyone who wants a smart ring without a recurring subscription, and it holds the top spot on membership cost with a monthly fee of $0. The catch is endurance: 8 days of battery sits below what rivals manage.
Wellue
Wellue suits anyone who wants a smart ring or smartwatch with no monthly fee attached. Buyers get a broad sensor set for a single $129 payment, and the 1 to 3 years warranty runs longer than many rivals offer. The short 3 days charge is the one thing to plan for.
