When I smooth (Turbosmooth, Meshsmooth), my models look worse. I want to smooth these two shapes but they get distorted. Btw they are watch components I'm working so they are metalic.

Any tips?

The meshes you've made there don't have any edges defining the creases. That's why it deforms so much.

Also, if you are smoothing it you'll want it to be in quads where you can get it to be. The one side of the ring doesn't even appear to be broken into tri's. It's just one massive n-gon.

Watch this.
