Affiliate Disclosure
Smart Ring HQ is reader-supported. Here's exactly what that means.
Smart Ring HQ is a participant in affiliate programmes. When you click a product link on this site and subsequently make a purchase from the destination retailer, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Programmes we participate in
We participate (or may participate) in affiliate programmes operated by retailers including but not limited to Amazon Associates, manufacturer direct-to-consumer programmes (Oura, Ultrahuman, RingConn, Samsung), and aggregators such as Awin, Impact, and Sovrn Commerce. Specific programmes for any given review are listed where applicable.
How affiliate commissions work
Commissions are paid by the destination retailer, not the reader. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive at the retailer via Smart Ring HQ or through any other route. Commission rates vary by retailer and product category and may be a fixed amount or a percentage of the order value.
Why it doesn't influence our reviews
The evaluation framework for every review is established before any specific vendor is assessed. Ranking is by criteria that matter to the reader (accuracy, comfort, subscription model, total cost of ownership), not by commission rate. We routinely recommend products with no affiliate programme over higher-commissioning alternatives where the evidence supports it.
If you have any concern about a specific recommendation, please raise it — corrections and clarifications are public and dated. See the editorial policy for details.
