1. A finger-worn wearable ring device, comprising:
a housing having an interior width between 12 mm and 24 mm and an exterior width between 18 mm and 30 mm for at least a portion of the finger-worn wearable ring device, the housing comprising:
an external housing having an outer curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, the external housing comprising a first metallic material; and
an internal housing having an inner curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, the internal housing comprising a second metallic material, the internal housing coupled with the external housing, wherein at least a portion of the inner curved surface of the internal housing is configured to contact a tissue of a user when the finger-worn wearable ring device is being worn by the user;
a curved battery positioned within a curved portion of the housing having a thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, the thickness of the curved portion of the housing measured between the outer curved surface and the inner curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, wherein the battery extends through at least a first portion of the housing of the finger-worn wearable ring device;
a printed circuit board disposed between the internal housing component and the external housing, wherein the printed circuit board extends through at least a second portion of the housing of the finger-worn wearable ring device different from the first portion; and
one or more sensors electrically coupled with the printed circuit board and the curved battery and configured to acquire data from the user through the internal housing to monitor at least one of physical activity, sleep, or health of the user.
