"Reliable Precision in a Sleek Package”
The Oura ring I purchased impressed me with its overall quality and reliability. The build is solid, featuring durable materials that give it a premium feel without being too heavy. It has a sleek, unobtrusive design that blends well with both casual and formal wear. In terms of reliability, the ring consistently delivered on its promises. The battery life was sufficient, lasting several days on a single charge, and it paired seamlessly with my smartphone, maintaining a stable connection. As for accuracy, the smart ring performed exceptionally well. It provided precise health metrics like heart rate, sleep patterns, and activity tracking, comparable to more traditional fitness wearables. The sensors appeared to be finely tuned, with data aligning closely to what I’ve seen from other trusted devices. Overall, this smart ring is a dependable and high-quality option for anyone looking to add smart features to their everyday jewelry.

Good for sleep/stress, not activity tracking
I got the Oura ring for 3 reasons: 1) Sleep analysis since I've always had a terrible time falling asleep and getting enough deep sleep. 2) I was also curious about the stress insights since I'm on the anxious side which surely contributes to my sleep issues and lack of energy. 3) I wanted a low profile wearable device that measures basal body temperature so I could track my ovulation trends. Long story short, it did all of these things well. Now onto the cons: 1) I didn't know your fingers swell when you sleep so I woke up with the circulation cut off my finger. I now move the ring to a smaller finger before bed. I wish the ring was an open design to to account for how much your fingers change size over the course of the day/night. 2) It is really bad at activity tracking. You cannot "start" / record a workout like on an Apple Watch or Whoop. It will "detect" a workout and ask you to confirm afterward (ex. "Did you do a 15 min walk?") but it rarely detects the right amount of time, if at all. 3) It is difficult to grip weights or dumbells tightly because of the ring's bulkiness. 4) The ring is useless without the $5.99 monthly subscription to access your data. So factor the cost of the subscription into this purchase. Overall, it gives me a lot of valuable insights and it excels in sleep and stress data.

Oura Ring, Size 9
I absolutely love my Oura Ring. It tracks my sleep, stress levels, menstrual cycle, readiness for the day - I’m obsessed. I have been debating on buying one for over a year now and I’m so glad that I took the initiative. I typically wear a size 7 in rings but had to size up to 9 with my Oura Ring to make sure it was comfy, not too tight, but also not too loose. I wear it on my index finger to get the most accurate result. It has been a great add-on to my life to improve my overall health! A huge positive to the ring itself is that it only takes 20-30 minutes to charge completely and can last me up to 5-7 days without needing a charge. It’s very comfy, lightweight, appealing to the eye and matches my everyday gold jewelry. You can wear it comfortably in the shower, washing dishes, and even swimming. I personally don’t take it off unless it’s charging. In my opinion, it’s more convenient and reliable than my Apple Watch. I will repurchase if needed in the future without a doubt. The only thing I had a concern about was the membership in order to use the ring itself, but after my experience with my Oura Ring, the membership is 100% worth it.
