Determine your smart ring size wtih a sizing kit
Order a sizing kit before you order a smart ring. You can order the right size in one go this way, as the size of a smart ring is different from your regular ring size. A sizing kit is for a specific model, so the sizing kit for the Oura Ring 5 and Oura Ring 4 are different, for example. You receive the purchase price of the sizing kit as CoolblueCredit. That way, you don't pay extra for the sizing kit. You can only use this credit when you buy a smart ring at Coolblue.
Which health tracker suits me?
You can choose between a smart band and smart ring. A smart band is a band with a sensor that you wear around your wrist or upper arm. It looks like a smartwatch, but it doesn't have a screen. You wear a smart ring around your finger. These rings are lightweight and are less noticeable than a smart band. If you never wear rings, it takes a bit to get used to.
