<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>Boat Valour Ring 1 Review: </strong></em>I have used many smartwatches over time, but I was always hesitant to get my hands on a smart ring. All I could think about was: What if the ring randomly slipped off my finger? What if it felt uncomfortable? Or worse, what if it made my outfit look <em>bleh</em>?</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Anyway, I finally got my hands on the Boat Valour Ring 1, which comes with a price tag of Rs 12,999. The main reason for avoiding smart rings preiously was simple: I’m not someone who spends hours at the gym or tracks every calorie I eat. My physical activity mostly includes daily walking and occasional running when I’m late for the office. But there was one thing I was always curious about: my sleep. While smartwatches can track sleep too, I find them uncomfortable to wear all night.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>I wore the smart ring for over a month, and now I’m quite used to it. Let’s see what worked, and what didn’t. </span></p>

<p><em><strong>What Works:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Detailed sleep tracking</li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Week-long battery life with continuous use</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Waterproof for daily activities</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>What Doesn’t:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The design feels slightly plain and lacks creativity</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The charging case is very fragile</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><strong><span style=”color: #ba372a;”>Boat Valour Ring 1 Design:</span> Looks Bland But Classy</strong></h2>
<h2><strong><img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2026/02/19/c4d3ba16cd6604bc83b460a53d8d16d117714419596681297_original.jpg” width=”720″ /></strong></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Valour Ring 1 keeps things minimal. It comes in a matte black finish that looks clean and subtle. From a distance, it looks like a regular ring, which I liked. On the inside, there’s a glass section where all the sensors are placed.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>However, when it comes to creativity, smart rings still feel limited as a category. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Compared to smartwatches, which come in a variety of styles and themes, this ring appears fairly basic. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear throughout the day, including while sleeping.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style=”color: #ba372a;”>Boat Valour Ring 1 Battery Life:</span> Lasted The Entire Valentine’s Week</strong></h2>
<h2><strong><img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2026/02/19/4039f2a3824eb931f79fdb0ba4297d1b17714420117401297_original.jpg” width=”720″ /></strong></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Battery life is one of its stronger points. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>With round-the-clock usage, the ring lasted around a week for me. That includes sleep tracking and continuous health monitoring. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Not having to charge it daily makes it far more convenient and practical in the long run.</span></p>

<h2><strong><img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2026/02/19/d0494010bdffe323692bb45e4fb50dd417714422712761297_original.jpg” width=”720″ /></strong></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The ring connects with the Boat Crest app, which neatly displays heart rate, stress levels, HRV, SpO2, VO2 Max, skin temperature, and step count. You can view the data daily, weekly, or monthly.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The sleep tracker stands out. It clearly shows when I was awake, in REM sleep, light sleep, or deep sleep. The ring also supports automatic monitoring for heart rate, stress, HRV, skin temperature, and SpO2.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>It’s waterproof too. I wore it while washing my hands and even during showers, and it worked perfectly fine without any issues.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style=”color: #ba372a;”>Boat Valour Ring 1 Charging Case:</span> Can Break At Any Moment</strong></h2>
<h2><strong><img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2026/02/19/a354e050a4c6f6b415edfa357f676bb217714426112401297_original.jpg” width=”720″ /></strong></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>While the ring itself feels fine, the charging case is a major drawback. The ring needs to be placed inside the case with the charger plugged in to recharge. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>However, the case feels like it’s made of cheap plastic. Even after a month of usage, the hinge already feels slightly loose and weak. The case could have been sturdier, so users wouldn’t have to handle it too cautiously.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style=”color: #ba372a;”>Boat Valour Ring 1 Review:</span> Final Verdict</strong></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Boat Valour Ring 1 is a practical wellness accessory for someone who wants to track sleep and basic health metrics without wearing a bulky smartwatch. The only aspects that bothered me were the plain design and the case quality. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The ring can be helpful for someone who isn’t a fan of smartwatches and wants something lighter, more comfortable, and easier to wear daily.</span></p>
