You may now need to google the definition of ego. Because I fail to see where I appeared egotistical in my reply to you.

Have a pleasant day, Mr. Lahey.
That doesn’t explain APM or AVP.
Yes, mainly because I hate the Apple Watch.
Oura sends you a kit with plastic rings in all available sizes with instructions about wearing them for at least 24 hours to check comfort throughout the day. Apple will probably just have people go to an Apple store for a fitting.
Rings really aren't my thing, so unless it had a unique feature that somehow made it more utilitarian than my watch, it's a hard pass.
That said, I could see it being useful for some people who would otherwise wear the Apple Watch, but can't. I know some employers ban watches allegedly for sanitary or safety reasons, but for whatever reason do allow rings.

I could absolutely get behind this. I might be a purchase on day one for this. Battery life must be amazing, and it must bring some new features to the table. I’d imagine no screen to help with battery life, but then how would you authenticate for purchases or ECG readings?
I wonder if it could pair with an Apple Watch to get an even more accurate ECG reading. Instead of the single lead reading it gets now.
Charging would be cool if we could do it on a normal Qi2 charger, either side of the ring. Vs having a charging finger you slide it onto.
Very excited for the possibilities.

Some people here would demand a USB-C port with the ability to connect USB-drives and support for bluetooth keyboards.
I can assure that more people would care about such a ring, than a strange 20-year old audio bug in macOS.
Wow way to steer the conversation to something completely irrelevant. I bet even if Apple poured in tens of millions of dollars in research and development you still wouldn’t be happy. I bet you’d still sit here and complain with a simple “meh” response. What would make Siri worth it for you? In my opinion Siri has improved tenfold since a few years back. But like Apple Maps and Music, people are stuck in their ways and continue to operate on old data assuming they “suck”.
For those interested, here is how Oura charges their ring.

Oura Ring: Accurate Health Information Accessible to Everyone
Oura Ring: the most accurate sleep and activity tracker is all about you: it measures the physiological signals of your body, understands your lifestyle, and guides you to make your own optimal daily choices. The ring features scientifically validated sleep tracking and personalized guidance.
So you can wear whatever watch you choose to wear. One that matches "your style" and not what "Tim Cook" thinks should be your style.
Tim Cook couldn’t care less what your style or my style is. I don’t know why some people think he does.
You have to take it off to charge since it will only have 12 hours battery life.
Or, being one of the largest corporations on Earth, they could just do all of the above. It's not an either/or here.
Given that this particular "rabbit-hole" of Wearables accounted for more revenue than Macs or iPads in the 4th quarter of last year, expect to see... more wearable devices.
This article positions this to the Apple Watch as an iPod Shuffle is to the iPod Nano. But what is its actually for fine grained control of visionOS? Especially for games. This lightweight fitness tracker could either be a red herring or an additional feature with gesture controls and more.
Am I the only hypochondriac who doesn't want 24/7 "health tracking"?
Health tracking device be like: "WARNING: YOU ARE GETTING STRESSED". Gee, thanks for telling me, I'm even more stressed now... 😒

Same here with the dislike of wearing rings for comfort reasons, but I work with power systems enough to also be afraid of them. Watch any decent electrician getting ready to work on live gear, and you’ll see them take their rings off first—a piece of metal on your hand can turn an unpleasant but mostly harmless shock into something just about as ugly as your grandfather’s accident.
