Wearables
Most "wearable reviews" are written after two days of testing by people who do not wear the device once the article is filed. Everything here has been on my finger or wrist daily for at least three months.

Oura Ring vs WHOOP — which one to buy?
Both track sleep and recovery, both are subscription-based, both cost around £300 a year all-in. Here is which is right for which person.
Does the Oura Ring track steps?
Yes, but with caveats. Accuracy vs Apple Watch, when it counts treadmill steps, and where to find them in the app.
Connect Oura Ring to Apple Health
Two-way sync setup, what data flows where, and what does not transfer.
What does Oura actually cost in 2026?
Ring price + £5.99/mo subscription = the real total. Plus what you lose without the membership.

How I test
Every device on this site is one I have bought myself or kept after a sample arrived. I wear each one for at least three months, alongside a control (usually an Apple Watch and a chest strap during workouts) so I can compare the readings against something whose accuracy I trust.
Reviews are dated. If a firmware update changes how a device behaves — and they do, regularly — I update the article and add a note saying what changed.
