The Noise Luna Ring (Gen 2) is a genuinely solid smart ring. It’s comfortable to wear, accurately tracks sleep and recovery and offers a generous amount of data without locking anything behind a subscription. A new charging case, slightly slimmer design and added circadian rhythm features all help it feel like a step up over the original version. But the app is still a bit overwhelming, the ring doesn’t look or feel as premium as top rivals and the smart ring market has moved on fast. It’s a good, subscription-free Oura alternative, but not an obvious slam dunk over the competition. £11.23 at Amazon(Black) £219 at Amazon(Gold) £219 at Amazon(Silver)
