Yes, especially in 2026, smart rings for couples are an excellent way to improve your health and fitness— together.

A subtle but very real shift is happening in the fitness world. More couples are training together, not just working out in parallel. Whether it’s morning walks, shared strength goals, or comparing scores after a long week, fitness is becoming a couple’s hobby.

I can relate. My husband and I started working out together six years ago, and it’s honestly been one of the best things we’ve done for our health and relationship. We push each other when motivation dips and celebrate small wins as a team. A wearable, like a smart ring, supports that connection.

And unlike bulky watches, smart rings are discreet, comfortable, and easy to wear 24/7. That makes them especially appealing for couples who want shared data without constant notifications.

So, which smart rings actually make sense as a couple’s gift? I researched the leading smart rings and, in light of Valentine’s Day coming up, whittled the list down to the ones with the most benefits for a couple.

Valentine’s Day Tech Gifts for Couples

Are smart rings a good couples' gift?
Oura

Oura Ring Gen 4

If you and your partner want deep insights into sleep, recovery, stress, and overall daily readiness, Oura remains a great wellness ring for couples. The well-designed app breaks your data down into easy-to-understand scores. It lets couples compare trends without obsessing over raw numbers. Oura shines with long battery life (up to about a week) and a sleek, comfortable titanium design. Just note that the most powerful insights require a monthly membership.

Pros

  • ✅ Excellent health tracking that’s easy to compare between partners
  • ✅ Polished app with clear trends
  • ✅ Comfortable design you can wear 24/7

Cons

  • ❌ Monthly subscription required for full insights
  • ❌ Pricy

Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Ring

For Android couples (especially those deep in the Samsung ecosystem), this ring is the perfect fit. It offers robust sleep and health tracking — including heart rate, breathing, and body temperature patterns — without requiring ongoing subscription fees. I love the comfortable fit and decent battery life (around 6–7 days). It’s great for partners who want to share wellness data without fuss or extra charges.

Pros

  • ✅ Seamless integration with Samsung Health for shared wellness tracking
  • ✅ No subscription fees
  • ✅ Solid battery life

Cons

  • ❌ Best features are limited to samsung phone users
  • ❌ Fewer advanced metrics
Circular Ring 2

Circular Ring 2

For couples who want in-depth health insights, Circular just dropped its Ring 2. Unveiled at CES 2026, the ring has built-in electrocardiogram functionality and FDA-cleared AFib detection. So it gives users a way to monitor their heart health. Apparently, even blood pressure and glucose trends are coming-soon features. I like the AI health coach, Kira. It watches out for changes in your vitals and sends helpful recommendations.

Pros

  • ✅ Adjustable fit
  • ✅ Personalized health nudges and alerts
  • ✅ No subscription required

Cons

  • ❌ Hardware and app experience still evolving
Ultrahuman Ring

Ultrahuman Ring AIR

If you and your partner work out together, the Ultrahuman ring AIR is a great smart ring for couples. I like it because it’s more performance oriented, with features like recovery scores and circadian rhythm insights. The ring itself is lightweight and comfortable, easy to wear daily. Meanwhile, it’s subscription-free, giving you cost savings as a couple.

Pros

  • ✅ Strong recovery and performance tracking
  • ✅ No subscription required
  • ✅ Ultra-light design

Cons

  • ❌ App can feel data heavy
  • ❌ Less emphasis on stress and mindfulness features

RingConn Gen 2 is a standout if you and your partner want reliable health tracking without recurring fees. It packs automatic sleep and daily health monitoring, including heart rate and blood oxygen, plus built-in sleep apnea insights, into a light, sleek ring with industry-leading battery life (up to 12 days). It even comes with a handy charging case. It focuses on long-term health trends you can review together. I appreciate the minimalist companion app; super easy to navigate and understand!

Pros

  • ✅ No monthly fees
  • ✅ Outstanding battery life
  • ✅ Solid sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen tracking

Cons

  • ❌ App is more functional than polished
  • ❌ Fewer coaching features

Final Thoughts

A couple’s smart ring isn’t about competing with your partner—it’s about aligning with them. For couples who already share workouts, routines, or wellness goals, it’s a thoughtful gift that supports something you’re already doing together.

From my perspective, anything that helps you feel better, move more, and root for each other is a win—ring or not.
