The Prevention Circul+ is a smart ring by BodiMetrics that features way more accurate health data than the average smart ring on the market. But it is not a ring that I can just wear and forget, unlike my Oura ring. More on that later but which finger is it supposed to go on?
Unlike a regular ring, a smart ring is supposed to sit on your finger in a position where the sensors are positioned correctly and the fit is not too loose. So it’s not like we can switch fingers every now and then, we need to know which finger it will give the most accurate metrics from.
Tips for Choosing the Right Finger for the Prevention Circul+ Ring
- BodiMetrics suggests to wear the Circul+ ring on the index, middle, or ring finger.
- I would suggest you wear the ring on your non-dominant hand for the least obstruction.
- The sensors should sit facing the palm of your hand.
- The ring should not be too loose (doesn’t measure properly) or too tight (cuts off blood flow).
Choosing the Right Size for the Prevention Circul+ Ring
Normally, when choosing a size for a smart ring, we would be required to order a sizing kit, wear the ring for a day or two to see if the chosen size is correct or not, then update the size for the actual ring, causing a major delay in the delivery.
The cool thing about the Circul+ ring is that it doesn’t need a sizing kit in order to select the size. How, you ask? Well, the ring comes in 3 sizes, designed in a way that they are adjustable up to 5mm on each side.
- A Small fits a size 5-9,
- Large from 9.5-12
- Extra-Large from 12-14
According to the website, XXL fits sizes 14-16; however, this size is not available while placing the order. If you need help with selecting your size, I have posted another article with the ring’s inner circumference for an ideal fit.
Wrap Up
While I appreciate the spring-loaded sides, which extend to adjust to fingers, the Circul+ is not something I would choose to wear all day, especially in public. The ring itself is so bulky that I wouldn’t be able to bend my finger completely when I have it on. It just doesn’t seem very practical to be worn all day.
That being said, the ability to adjust the ring in case my fingers get swollen due to my period or water retention is a plus point of the Circul+ ring. I would personally only wear the ring at night to track necessary sleep metrics and also on the index finger of my left (non-dominant) hand, only because I feel its chunky design would be most comfortable on this finger.
Do you have a Circul+ ring? Which finger do you prefer to wear it on? Let me know in the comments!
