I have a Samsung watch but the casing and the strap gave me a rash. I did swap the strap but the casing makes it unusable for me. What extra stuff does the ring do? I'd be especially interested in heart rate/arrythmia data and how you feel it's an improvement over the Samsung watches. Thanks.

I had that off the stainless steel on the back of the watch, I just stuck some insulating tape to keep it off my skin, worked great.

The Oura. Which is actually playing p at the moment but I really think it's my phone as it has just updated :-(

It does a load more stuff - especially heart and O2 that the smart watch doesnt. I will try to get some screen shots of the interface (dashboard) of the app.
