Who should buy which
Buyers in the Apple ecosystem who want one device for fitness, notifications, payments, and credible health tracking.
You're Android, you want pure passive tracking (go ring), or you already wear a dedicated fitness watch (Garmin/Whoop).
Buyers who want ring-form tracking without a recurring subscription, especially those starting fresh without Oura's historical data.
You're already on Oura with years of data, or you want the maximally validated sleep-staging accuracy.
