Next-gen wearables for women: Health, safety and productivity features to watch

Women-focused wearables have moved far beyond basic fitness bands. In 2025, Indian and global brands are building devices tailored for real-world needs, tracking reproductive health, boosting safety on commutes, and helping women manage productivity on the go. The shift is personal, practical, and long overdue. Devices like the Ultrahuman Ring AIR and Peri AI Health Tracker now offer menstrual tracking, perimenopause insights, ovulation predictions, and mood-based activity guidance. Indian brands are stepping up too. Noise Luna Ring 2.0 combines skin temperature monitoring with AI-driven period prediction. Garmin Lily 2 and Samsung Galaxy Watch6 deliver sleep coaching, continuous heart rate tracking, hydration alerts, and stress management tools. With AI analytics, these wearables tailor recommendations for fertility planning, chronic conditions, and energy management. This makes them especially useful for women in remote areas or with limited access to healthcare support. Brands like Leaf Wearables (SAFER) and Invisawear offer stylish pendants and bracelets that double as SOS alarms that are triggered with discreet gestures. The Samsung Galaxy Ring, expected to launch in India soon, integrates biometric tracking with fall detection and emergency alert systems for any kind of mis-haps that might occur in day to day lives. VOSAP SafeRing includes real-time location sharing and works well in low-network areas, ideal for rural or late-night commuters. Air quality and temperature sensors in devices like the Bellabeat Ivy provide proactive safety cues, especially in harsh climates. NeoSapien's AI Pendant offers real-time transcription for meetings, reminders, and summaries synced with calendars, making it ideal for working professionals. Smart rings from BoAt Lunar Connect and Oura allow gesture-based phone control, while Noise i1 Smart Glasses connect to voice assistants for hands-free tasks. Eco-conscious wearables like Upbrace UV Band and PosturePal Smart Strap track posture and sun exposure. Many are made from recycled materials and feature customisable designs for daily wear comfort. India's wearable market is expanding fast, with companies like Ultrahuman, Noise, and GOQii leading in women-specific health and lifestyle features. Collaborations with health researchers are helping normalise menstrual and menopause tracking. Entry-level devices like GOQii Vital 4.0 bring advanced health features to budget-conscious users, boosting adoption across metros and small towns. Wearables for women in 2025 are personal, protective, and powerful that are driven by needs that go beyond fitness. With Indian innovation leading the charge, these devices are becoming essential companions for health, safety, and everyday efficiency.

I Tested 3 Popular Smart Rings to Improve My Wellness Habits. These Are The Best Ones

As a wellness reporter, I've tested different types of fitness technology. However, I hadn't had a chance to try out smart rings -- until now. These smart rings are more discreet than other wearables and easily blend in with whatever you're wearing. I generally live a healthy lifestyle, but I do think there is room for improvement, particularly with my sleep habits. Since becoming a mom, my sleep hasn't been the best because, for at least the first half of the year (maybe longer -- eek), my nights were constantly interrupted by my baby. As a result, my sleep suffered and I didn't feel my best during the day. I know that sleep is just as important as eating well and exercising, and may be even more important, so I knew I wanted to rein it in. I was able to get ahold of the popular Oura ring, the Ultrahuman ring AIR and the Evie ring. Each of these rings has features that make it different from the others, including its apps. However, these rings also have similarities since they function more or less the same. Here's what you need to know about these smart rings and how they have affected my life these past several months. If you're going to invest money in a wearable device, you want to make sure you're getting the most out of it. Of the three tested, the Oura seemed to be the smart ring that functioned best and gave me the type of feedback I found helpful. Like any wearable, it could use improvement as technology becomes more sophisticated, but the latest updates seem promising. I would like to see the Ultrahuman Ring AIR improve its fitness tracking since it already has the functionality for it. With these improvements, I can see it being the go-to smart ring for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. If Evie wants to cater to people who menstruate, it would benefit from some updates that stand out from the crowd. With technology advancing so quickly, it's not enough to put out a nice-looking ring and not expect people to want more from it. Ideally, the best smart ring should be able to provide health insights to the user based on all their health markers. This can also be helpful data they can share with their healthcare providers in case of emergency or if they have certain health concerns.
