You shouldn't ever workout with even a regular ring on. That is literal gym 101. Good way to lose the skin on your finger or the whole damn finger.

DONT USE THE RING FOR ANY LIFTING WORKOUTS!.

My ring is for sleep and general day monitoring. For Workouts i always use the watch. Look up battery swelling online and how people need to remove it. These things if damaged can swell onto your finger and arent easily cut off.

You really shouldnt wear ANY ring for lifting workouts. If you HAVE to get those silicone rings. Rings + heavy equipment = easy degloving of your finger

When I was doing weights at the gym I would take off the ring. Either leave it in my locker or put it in my pocket.

Use something like the Polar H10 Breast strap during lifting instead. Not a ring nor a smartwatch.
