ŌURA reviews and discussion

I have had my oura ring for over a year and have enjoyed it. I use it for the natural cycles app and like that I don’t have to worry about checking my temperature daily. I enjoy the sleep analytics as well. If you are looking for a fitness tracker, this is not the best option in my opinion.

I have been using my oura ring for four years now, and it has been one of my best investments in my self. Checking my temp and sleep has become a cornerstone of my morning routine, and I love how the activity tracking has improved, It sync data from my strava and garmin to get an accurate estimate of my steps, unlike other tracking services. When my oura malfunctioned, they sent me a new one, FOR FREE. Love my ring.

I have had my oura ring for over a year now & I am so impressed with it. It's a bit annoying that you have to pay a monthly membership fee to see the stats on the app, but I am impressed that the app is always updating & adding new features.

I love my Oura ring, I appreciate the innovation of the product, the insights it gives me into my fertility, sleep, and stress, as well as the manageable subscription fee of $7 a month for the platform and software. That said, I had a hardware failure within 2 years of purchase, but my newer model only had 1 year warranty vs the older model with 2 years? Their customer experience team was less than helpful and it was a bummer, especially for the price of the device overall. I ended up having to purchase a replacement to continue to monitor my health with the services.

I'm the absolute biggest fan of my oura ring. I've been wearing it since April 2022, and I check my app every day to make sure I've hit my activity goal/sleep cycles. Super helpful to track my period too. It is pricy, but 100% worth it. Trying to convert all of my friends to get oura rings!!!

I didn't think i'd like the oura ring as much as i do. i had originally thought i'd get, run through the trial period, and return knowing that i 'already know what i know'. jokes on me. i learned so much about my heart rate, my stress levels, how to interpret stress, and now have a meticulous log on how certain foods affect my body. i've hit my one year mark and still going strong. i also have sensory issues so i like the convenience of taking off a ring versus an apple watch. one point off for it scratching easily and also wild ass upsell on "gold".

I think the Oura ring is revolutionary. I have tried Fitbit, Apple Watch but the Oura ring is the best in my opinion. It is expensive but it is worth the cost honestly. I don't like wearing watches so this is the best.

I was seduced by the new Oura Ring - Version 4 , and it has completely changed the way I track my health! The sleep tracking is incredibly detailed, providing insights into my sleep stages, readiness score, and recovery. I also love the continuous heart rate monitoring and activity tracking—it helps me stay mindful of my overall wellness without the bulk of a smartwatch. The ring itself is sleek, lightweight, and comfortable, making it easy to wear 24/7. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 8 days before needing a charge. The sizing kit was super helpful in ensuring the perfect fit. If you're looking for a discreet yet powerful fitness and wellness tracker, the Oura Ring 4 is absolutely worth it! Highly recommend!

As someone who has been using Oura Rings for 4+ years, with a Gen 2, two Gen 3 rings, and a lifetime membership, I can confidently say that this device has been a game-changer in terms of tracking my health and wellness. The accuracy and consistency of the data it provides are unparalleled. One of the standout features for me is the temperature tracking, which has been incredibly helpful in monitoring my menstrual cycle. I’ve been able to better understand the fluctuations in my body temperature, which has given me invaluable insight into my cycle and overall health. It’s such a small but powerful tool that has made a big difference in my self-care routine. The recent addition of the Symptoms Radar is a feature I’m absolutely loving. There have been mornings when I wake up with a major strain alert, and this helps me make quick adjustments to my day - whether that’s cutting out stressors like caffeine or modifying my workload to better match my capacity. It’s great to have such a personalized health tracker right on my finger, and the fact that the app makes it easy to correlate these symptoms with other data like sleep and activity levels makes the whole experience even more useful. Oura continues to evolve, and with the lifetime membership, I feel like I’m always getting the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about my health. If you're someone who is serious about optimizing your well-being, the Oura Ring is an absolute must-have.

I have mixed feelings about the oura ring. I tired the product and really enjoyed the ring and its functionality however I returned the product cause I could not justify paying a monthly subscription on top of the $300+ product price. Hoping other competitors coming into the market will offer a better price for a similar product!

I love my Oura Ring, so much that this is actually my second! It’s amazing having my sleep, activity, and stress all tracked from something as low-profile and sleek as a ring. I really appreciate that there’s no screen, and it still feels like having a personal health advisor right in my pocket. A few caveats though: • I wish there were deeper insights when using Tags • The AI could be more helpful • Some ring finishes could be improved—and priced a bit more fairly • Ring scratches really easily! :(

I love tracking data about myself. Instead of saying ‘I think’ now I have data so I know what’s going on. Knowing how much sleep I’m getting and relating that to how I feel the next day has been a game changer. I now prioritize sleep and movement since the facts are right in front of me. The Oura ring is comfortable to wear and charges quickly. It is more comfortable for me than a smart watch. The work outs don’t track as precisely as a smart watch though so I still wear mine.

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 love my Oura Ring. I love fitness trackers as I have used Fitbit for over 5 years. However, I was over the look of wearing a fitness watch especially when I would go out. It sounds vain but it does ruin your outfit but I still want to track my steps if I'm walking around (which you do a lot in NYC) or if I'm on the dance floor! So when I heard of Oura, I was immediately drawn to the fact that it was a ring. So discreet. However, at the time it was only in silver and I am strictly a gold jewelry type of woman. So I patiently waited until they made it in gold and then once it came out, I purchased it immediately. Now, the superficial notes aside, the true reason I love it, is because of its unique purpose of focusing on tracking your sleep. Most fitness trackers do not care about that but over the past year, I've read and learned about how truly crucial sleep is to have good health. If you want to start anywhere, you start with your sleep and work from there. So the unique insights Oura provides me on my quality of sleep are so helpful for me to understand what I need to improve on. Every morning I wake up and do a quick body scan to see how I feel and then I sync the app to find out my sleep score. It is fun to see how the tracker and how I feel match up. Now I focus on attaining the best score I can which is hard for me since I am a night owl so I normally hover in the late 60s but I will get better! I also love that it tracks my steps and workouts. Overall, I highly recommend it. It is expensive but worth it. And the ring is beautiful! No one ever knows that it is a fitness tracker and it shocks people every time! Also, recommend using the ring sizer or just size up on your normal ring size. I am always a size 7 in rings but I bought a size 8 for oura.

I like the way the ring looks, and I like the sleep data. I dont check it as much as when I first got it; I do think the novelty kind of wears off after a bit of time. That said its more chic than other wearables and I like not charging every day.

Had the Oura ring for about 2 months now and it's been helpful seeing the amount of data it would give you. Sleep is something I've been wanting to focus on improving, so I've been using the ring to track trends in my sleep habits, see how things like a late meal impacts it, as well as using it to track my activities too. There's a manual add for workouts which is helpful as I don't wear my ring when using weights to prevent scratches. It's also super simplistic which I love! I usually wear a size 5 ring but the 6 fits me - if you have small fingers, just be cautious during the winter time. My fingers constrict when it's cold out and the ring becomes pretty loose, so just be careful.

This ring does everything its supposed to. I love being able to track all of my stats. My only issue is with the way the ring looks. It is quite bulky which I dont like very much but Im sure that is something that can't be changed.

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!

Original Review from 3 years ago: I've had my Oura ring for about 10 months now, and I really really like it! Over time it doesn't feel very bulky at all and I love getting insights on my sleep and overall wellness. It's such a comprehensive look at your health, and I love using the meditation audio feature in the app. The ring is quite accurate and very insightful. It picks up on skin temperature differences and it's often accurately been able to tell when I have started to get sick or I pushed myself too hard in working out. It makes me feel much more confident in the fact that I lead an active lifestyle without fully realizing it. I appreciate its metrics and insights on how much activity I get throughout the day, because before the ring, I would've felt bad about not being "traditionally active." Oura helps me see how much activity I actually expend throughout the course of the day and helps me calibrate. Review Edit: June 2025, after 4 years of Oura Ring (first bought in December 2021) It's been about a month since I cancelled my Oura subscription. If I'm being honest I never really looked at the metrics all that much to begin with. Over time it became just a comfort item, so I continue to charge and wear the ring itself, but I don't even open the app to sync the ring for my three scores (that's all you get when you stop subscribing.) I'm on my SECOND refurbished replacement since I first bought into Oura (all rings Gen 3), and I have to say the longevity of the ring itself is pretty disappointing. (1.5 years on my OG, almost 2 years on my first replacement, and I'm about 3 months into my current one) I'm pretty diligent about being careful with my ring, I charge it as suggested—daily while I'm showering, and I take it off if I'm lifting weights or know I'll put unnecessary pressure/strain on the ring itself. The only features I miss is the step count when I don't have my phone on me, and the expanded sleep metrics. Looking back, I found the chronotype evaluator the most practical piece of information I can carry forward in my life, but once it was able to measure those trends, the ring itself stopped mattering on a daily basis to me. The hype around it now is understandable, but I honestly think there are better things you can spend your money on. Its subscription paywall for all basic functioning is pretty predatory considering the price of the ring alone. Save yourself the money and the headache of having to request replacements for the ring in the long-term. Customer service is super kind and helpful when it does come to refurbished replacements, though so thank you to the Oura team for that!

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!
