Fitbit Air vs Oura Ring 5: which screenless tracker wins?

The Fitbit Air ($99) and Oura Ring 5 ($399) are competing screenless fitness trackers, with the Oura winning on design, sleep depth, and female health tracking, while the Fitbit wins on price and step accuracy. After five months of testing, the Fitbit Air proved more accurate for daily step counts, while the Oura Ring 5 excelled in comfort, hygiene, and battery life (up to nine days). Both tied on calorie counting, stress tracking, and battery performance, though Oura offers deeper sleep insights without a subscription. The Oura Ring 5 is recommended for those wanting a discreet, jewelry-like device with advanced female health features, while the Fitbit Air suits budget-conscious users. The reviewer ultimately prefers the Oura, despite its higher cost and subscription requirements.
