the term Wearable Technology has become increasingly popular. In Portuguese, it means “wearable technology” and generally refers to bracelets, watches, rings and other types of accessories. They are made to integrate the ecosystem of major brands from large technology companies and monitor a number of aspects of the user’s life, but are mainly used to track and manage individual health.
The devices are constantly monitoring the user’s physiological signals, collecting the most important data, such as indicators such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, sleep quality and even levels of stress.
All of these indicators help to find early changes and can even lead to faster interventions before a disease can worsen.

Furthermore, wearables have the great benefit of personalizing care, as many provide detailed reports so that the user can adjust their exercise, eating and sleeping routines according to their individual needs.
In other words, all the most crucial data about a person’s physical state is fully available to them, with alerts to any unusual changes.
Therefore, the Infomoney ranked five of the best health monitoring wearables on the market.

5. Huawei Watch GT 4
The Huawei Watch GT 4 was launched on the market in October 2023 and continues to be an excellent option for those who have started the journey of self care now. The watch is intuitive and accessible for beginners in the world of physical exercise and has health monitoring features, including sleep, stress and heart rate metrics.
This smartwatch has its own application that helps with data control and reporting, which is called Huawei Health and is available for Android and iOS. Another important point about the wearable is that it has designs with different colors, in two sizes: 46 mm and 41 mm. In addition, it has a long battery life, reaching 14 days of moderate use.
Although the Huawei Watch GT 4 has its advantages, some aspects can be considered limiting depending on the user profile. A good example is the integration with third-party applications – such as Strava, which is very popular for those who already practice certain physical exercises –, is very limited. Furthermore, Huawei’s own operating system has fewer customization options.

Despite serving beginners well, it lacks advanced features for professional athletes, such as more detailed metrics or specific tools for high-performance training.

4. Oura Ring Gen 3
Launched in October 2022, the Oura Ring Gen 3 is one of the smart rings most complete on the market, ideal for those looking to monitor their health and well-being in a discreet way. The device has the same focus on health as other wearables, focusing on monitoring sleep, heart rate and daily activities.
Continues after advertising
The ring uses the brand’s own app, the Oura App, compatible with Android and iOS, to offer detailed reports on health and fitness. It also has an elegant design, available in five colors – silver, black, matte black, gold and rose gold. Furthermore, it is made of titanium, which guarantees lightness and resistance.
Another difference is its battery, which offers four to seven days of autonomy, depending on the intensity of use. Charging is fast, taking between 20 and 80 minutes in the dedicated case, ensuring practicality in everyday life.
On the other hand, to access the most interesting well-being reports, the wearable requires a monthly subscription to the Oura app. Additionally, although it has 15 advanced sensors, the data provided may be less intuitive for self-care beginners.

The Oura Ring Gen 3 is ideal for those looking for a premium and sophisticated device, but it may not be the best choice for users who prioritize value for money or integration with broader ecosystems, such as wearables from bigger brands.

3. Galaxy Ring
The Galaxy Ring, a Samsung wearable, was launched in September 2024 in Brazil, with the proposal to combine advanced technology with a minimalist design, with the idea that the user takes control of their own health in a simple way.
The device focuses on health and well-being monitoring, with high-precision sensors for metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality and physical activity.
Samsung integrated the ring into its Galaxy ecosystem, enabling a complete experience for users of devices in the same line, such as smartphones, tablets and smartwatches.
The Galaxy Ring is compatible with the Samsung Health app, available for Android and iOS, with a lightweight design, weighing between 2.3 g and 3.0 g, and offers impressive durability with a titanium finish and water resistance. The battery lasts up to seven days and can be charged quickly, reaching 40% in just 30 minutes.
The device has high-precision sensors and advanced algorithms to measure a series of indicators, but also using artificial intelligence. One of the biggest differences among other wearables on the market is the intensification of the data captured.
For example, when it comes to sleep monitoring, the ring performs a detailed analysis with metrics such as heart rate, respiratory rate and movement during sleep, as well as snoring detection. Samsung’s system then creates a personalized score with all the data to help create healthier habits.
The Galaxy Ring stands out for its integration with Samsung Health, accessible without a subscription, and for the use of Samsung Knox to guarantee the security of personal data. Another highlight is gesture control, which allows you to perform functions such as taking photos or dismissing alarms with a simple pinch movement.

2. Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 was launched in September this year by Apple, with the aim of celebrating 10 years of the brand’s smartwatch, with design changes and a much greater focus on health and well-being. The company highlights that the wearable delivers faster performance and improved energy efficiency for extended functionality.
The watch has new health sensors for heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen measurement, and sleep apnea tracking. This data, integrated into watchOS 11, allows detailed health monitoring with personalized suggestions for the user.
The body temperature tracking feature has improved to indicate physiological signs, such as variations related to the menstrual cycle. For sports enthusiasts, the watch offers accurate depth measurements for water activities and detailed information about training.
A new feature of this smartwatch is the introduction of voice commands for Siri, a personal assistant developed by the brand, for quick and practical consultations of health information directly on your wrist.

1. Galaxy Watch7
Finally, the Galaxy Watch7 is a smartwatch that puts health and well-being at the center of its experience, offering advanced features for physical monitoring and quality of life. There are over 100 workouts available and updated BioActive sensors. It provides detailed analyzes of body composition, such as percentage of fat and muscle mass, as well as cardiovascular monitoring and body temperature.
The device also has a sleep apnea function, approved by the FDA (equivalent to Anvisa in the United States), which identifies signs of the condition. Like the Galaxy Ring, there is sleep analysis with artificial intelligence integration, which provides data to improve the quality of rest.
The watch is resistant to water and extreme environments, with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, with gesture navigation and integration with Samsung Health. Additionally, optimized sensors with 13 LEDs improve accuracy in measurements such as heart rate and blood oxygenation.
In addition to traditional sensors, such as bioimpedance and electrocardiogram, the Galaxy Watch7 introduces the AGEs (advanced glycation products) reader, expanding the available health metrics. Features include personalized virtual coaches and emergency detection, making the watch an ideal partner for maintaining physical and emotional balance.
On the Galaxy Watch7, the AGE sensor is an innovative function that measures the user’s metabolic health in a non-invasive way, designed to monitor the impact of eating habits and lifestyle on long-term health. However, it is worth noting that this does not replace traditional medical diagnoses.
The battery provides up to 40 hours of use, depending on settings, and recharges quickly with the included magnetic charger.
Overall, the Galaxy Watch7 positions itself as a good solid choice for Android users, but without necessarily locking them into Samsung products – even if having the entire line means having a better experience.
