  5. Colmi R09 sizing: how to pick your size before you order

    Measure the exact finger you'll wear the Colmi R09 on, then match its circumference to Colmi's chart. Colmi's guide sent me a size 11 that didn't fit my index finger, and the store only takes back unworn rings.

  6. Colmi R09 vs Oura Ring 5: start with the $20 ring

    Buy the Colmi R09 first. It costs $20 to $60 with no subscription, and on the nights it fit, it matched my Apple Watch Ultra. Pay $399 plus $69.99 a year for Oura only for the app.
