Our ring constantly reminds me to take a better care of myself my tracking ny heart rate and sleep quality. I’m thankful to my brother who gifted me the on my birthday. I also like its simple clean design. I’ll be gifting Oura to my best friend on her birthday!

I love my oura ring, especially when paired with another activity device like an Apple Watch! I get so many compliments on it and people are amazed that a tiny ring could be so powerful! Pros: tiny, integrates well with any tracker you’re currently using, beautiful, waterproof, gives valuable insights that very few other devices have, and there is nothing like it. Cons: useless without subscription, devs are always promising new features to justify membership but they are usually a year(ish) late to delivery, the gold scratches easily even though I baby mine, they recommend you keep the battery above 40% which means you have to charge it more frequently than advertised. Overall: definitely worth it but must be paired with another device if you care about activity insights!

I mainly got this ring because I hated the way my other fitness tracker looked on my wrist with most outfits. Asthetically speaking, this ring is so much nicer and incognito. It’s lightweight and comfortable. I hardly even know it’s there. I do think you need to be a bit of a data person to enjoy all of the great features of the ring. I’d suggest getting this is you’ll actually look at the date and try and make little changes in your lifestyle to make some of your habits better. Probably not for you if your MAIN goal is to track fitness. There are features in the software but I don’t believe their super accurate.

I’ve been wearing my Oura ring for about 4 months and I love it! I hate wearing things on my wrist and don’t want to added distraction of a screen on my arm. This ring is a great, non invasive way to track sleep, steps, heart rate, etc. The readiness score helps me pay attention to how I’m feeling and take rests when needed. Overall, I’ve found the Oura has helped me be more in tune with my body and be able to look at the specific causes for why I’m feeling great/poorly on a given day.

This review is regarding Gen 2 of the ring. I’ve used my Oura ring nearly every night for just over two years. I love biometric data and was looking for ways to better understand the quality of my sleep to identify how to positively impact it. For years, I’ve had terrible sleep quality. Oura fit the bill. With some experimenting and Oura’s data, I’ve identified techniques and supplements that help improve my sleep. I think most of these techniques can be learned and experimented with without the Oura ring (for example, no screens an hour before bed, cold room, etc), but I think the ring and it’s data helped me identify it faster and with some concrete evidence. One of my learnings was that Ashwaganda, which is often used as a supplement to improve sleep actually keeps me up! I know the ring is on further generations at this point and I believe the Gen 3 ring actually nearly requires a subscription (very limited data without one). My Gen 2 ring wasn’t affected by the monthly sub introduction. I’m not sure I’d see personal value if I had to upgrade to a Gen 3 ring and subscription.

Decent aesthetics and ease of integration into daily life. Trackers and charts are easy to understand. I still use it daily, but it is a burden for doing anything that involves a grip like weightlifting, biking, golf, tennis, etc. and has to be removed, which defeats the purpose of tracking heart rate and strain. If they could make it thinner, it would be a huge win.

I think the Oura ring is a really cool idea and is very helpful to track sleep, but most of the other features can be tracked just as well with a smart watch. I hope in the future they add features that help guide you to improve your scores and health, such as how to improve your HRV and other data points the ring suggests are mediocre or below average.
Feedback
If the ring was more affordable, I’d suggest it to more friends. The price point is pretty steep.

This ring sounds like a great idea but in fact is not worth the money for how little it does and for the following reasons: 1) Oura is wildly inaccurate, took ring off for weight training bc didn’t want to scratch it, but had my chest HR monitor on. Put Oura back on during CD & stretching, my chest monitor HR was 95bpm & Oura had me at 48bpm??!! I literally started laughing. After several times making it read my HR it got closer but was always reading 10-15bmp lower than chest HR monitor. 2) when starting a HR activity Oura only gives you 5 choices to chose from in/out run, in/out bike or walk. No other choices of activities as if these are the only things people do. 3) when comparing Oura data to that of my garmin when riding bike again I was consistently 15-20bpm lower on Oura, hence my comment wildly inaccurate. 4) it appears oura only takes HR data every 5-10 min as when you review your data oura only gives you a time and a range (ie 0800-0830 HR 95-130) not an exact HR for a give effort. 5) i mapped Strava to oura to capture my activities as oura was extremely limited in what it offers. The Strava data would over ride what oura had recorded which made me realize, why not just keep using strava, more options and more accurate and way less expensive. 6) oura comes with a free one month membership but I wanted to see what I would get after the membership expired so I did not pay for monthly service. If I thought oura had poor performance when membership was activate it was unbelievable horrible if you don’t pay the 7/month membership fee. It literally only gives you 3 numbers for sleep, readiness & activity after paying $600 for ring. You can not look at any efforts, how long you slept or any of the free features that Fitbit offers. After spending $600 (w/ extended warranty as I tend to break things by using them) I am completely unsatisfied and disappointed, purchase was a complete waste of money. Buy a $100 Fitbit, works way better & you get more bang for the buck.

I just got an Oura ring, after being an Apple Watch girlie for 6 years. I was wearing the Apple Watch daily for notifications & fitness tracking, but it needed to charge every night so I wasn't getting any sleep analytics on it. So, I got the oura ring because 1) it looks great with my other rings, and 2) it has a battery life that lasts over 4 days and charges in under an hour, which means I can get a lot more actionable data (like on sleep) from it. My oura ring informed me that my resting heart rate spikes over 10bpm after just a glass or two of wine, so now I'm experimenting with giving up alcohol for a while to see how my overall health and sleeping improves. I wouldn't have made that realization if I wasn't collecting this data daily/nightly to see how my body is impacted by the various things I do and consume. I also started stacking it with other delicate rings to make it a bit more trendy and fit in with my other rings I wear. I've recommended it to so many people now - it's definitely a bit pricey, but totally worth the investment in your health and wellbeing!
