Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been interested in Oura health and fitness rings for a while. So when I had the chance to test their newest ring, I was elated! I was particularly wanting to monitor my sleep patterns, heart rate, while also using the device to help manage my stress. The ring itself is beautiful. It’s really comfortable to wear, all day and night. I only take it off to wash my hands, do the dishes or shower, and it is then that I put it on its lovely little charger. Though I do have a ‘smart watch’, I choose to give my wrist a break from continually wearing it during the night. Now I am able to wear this ring to track my sleep, breathing, and heart rates with the Oura instead. In addition, you can connect the ring to other health and fitness apps, as well as, the Oura app itself. The Oura app is well organized and easy to navigate. It seems to update my information regularly, without any “glitchy” delays I’ve experienced with some other health/fitness apps. At a glance you can check your Vitals - Readiness score, Sleep breakdown, Activity Goals progress, Daytime Heart Rate monitoring, and Daytime Stress levels. You can even add an activity, record a workout heart rate, and log a meal in your Timeline section. There are also helpful research study articles you can read to educate yourself concerning the areas you want to focus on using your Oura ring. Once you’ve worn your Oura every day for a week, the ring will be able to Calibrate more about your health and fitness patterns. Every morning I’m actually excited to review my previous night’s sleep record, including my blood oxygen levels. I still need to get into a regular habit of recording my meals, but that will come with time. I’ve done this before, using a different health app, so it’s just a matter of adding that to my daily routine. A particular feature I’m fascinated to learn more about, and potentially participate in, is Oura Labs. I’m quite looking forward to being notified when a new experimental feature will become available for me to try out and evaluate. While the Oura Ring 4 is somewhat expensive, if you are considering purchasing one, think of this device as more than just a ‘fitness ring,’ but rather as a long-term investment to better assist you with improving your overall health. In addition, the $5.99/month or $69.99/annual cost of the Oura Membership is more than fair.

This is a fantastic product! I’ve worn it for about a week now and it’s given me fantastic insight into a variety of my health concerns including sleep quality and stress levels. Setup was super easy and charging takes a few minutes for 4-5 days worth of data collecting. The ring is insanely comfortable, and I’ve had several compliments on its look even in the first week of ownership. I was concerned about a ceramic ring’s durability, but that concern was not needed. This is built like a tank and hasn’t shown a single scratch despite banging into doorknobs, doing dishes, or even yardwork. Comparing its data to that collected by my Apple Watch over the same time period, the two are roughly within 5% of each other, so I’m reassured about the accuracy of the readings, and this lets me keep my watch recharging at night without fear of losing crucial health data. Setting up the ring and the app was super simple. It pairs in seconds and the rest is just typical sign-up info like any other new account. Easy for anyone of any age to set up and start their journey to a healthier lifestyle. Strongly recommend!!!!!!

The ceramic Oura Ring 4 is an excellent and conspicuous companion to keep track of your health and fitness. I have several fitness watches, which are indeed helpful in fitness, but not so much in health and particularly present a huge drawback in sleep. One of my main desires has been to track my sleep and the Oura ring has been outstanding in this. With watches, I wake up in the middle of the night with a strangled wrist only to take them off, but with the Oura, I forget I’m even wearing it. Not only that, but the biometrics it tracks and how it compiles them gives me insights that are extremely helpful in guiding me to make productive changes. *What’s included?* Along with the Oura ring comes a sized ring charger and USB-C to USB-C cable. Oura also offers to mail a free buffer to get rid of scuffs. *Quality of Product* This Oura ring is made of zirconia ceramic, making it so lightweight I now forget it’s even there. It did take a few days to get used to its size as it is quite wide and bulky. That said, it is extremely comfortable, with titanium on the inside that is smooth on the skin and the rounded edges making it easy to put on and remove. The zirconia ceramic is highly resilient, I almost immediately scuffed it with the handle of a pan while cooking, but the buffer Oura provided quickly buffed it off and made it look like new. The ring is made to withstand water immersion, heat, and cold. So, it can be used while swimming, in the sauna, and shower. I do not shower with it as I prefer not to, but I do plan to take it into the sauna as I like to track my biometrics while in there. *Featured Functions* • Activity tracking: This ring tracks activity phenomenally, to the point that I have been shocked several times. Not only does it know when I am busy just doing housework, it even knows when I take a nap. No other fitness tracker has been able to do that, and they usually try to nudge me to get up and walk around during naps, which only disturbs my nap. The ring then implements all of this activity into its readiness and stress score. • Readiness: This score will take several factors, with the main one being sleep, to tell you how ready you are to take on the day. It gives gentle suggestions with an understanding tone while explaining the reason for the score. • Sleep: This score has always been important to me because I know what difference it makes in my overall health but I struggle greatly with it. I have been checking times that I wake up in the middle of the night, and the ring has accurately gauged when I have been sleeping or awake. It includes analytics such as blood oxygen levels, heart rate variability, and several other biometrics that help understand the body’s sleep patterns. • Heart rate: The heart rate feature works perfectly, if not better than other fitness trackers. Because it is on my finger and does not slide around, there is no issues with lapses in the analytics. • Cycle: The ring uses nighttime temperature to detect the current stage of a woman’s menstrual cycle, but it takes 60 days to be able to start predicting so I am not currently able to comment on the accuracy as of yet. • Other biometric features: A few other included features are oxygen level and breathing. I really enjoy being able to understand where I am at with respiratory and cardiovascular health. Additionally, the ring compiles data to give info on resilience, cardiovascular age, and chronotype, all of which need more time before they can give me a result. I had not heard of chronotype, and I am quite curious as to what advice it will give me on my sleep schedule. *App* The Oura app provides an overview of all the of scores at the top, ring battery life, and makes everything else intuitive to find. It seems that they went for a calming appearance with their layout that does not overstimulate, and they achieved it. *Subscription* It is important to note that some of the analytic features I mentioned need a subscription, but I find the price for it reasonable for the value provided. Without subscription it provides readiness, activity, and sleep scores. *Battery Life* They state the ring has 5-8 days battery life, and for me it lasted until the middle of the eighth day. I am so grateful for this because I can get a whole week of biometrics without worrying about it dying in the middle of the day or night. It is much easier for me to choose a convenient time to charge it as well. It charges quite quickly, taking just over an hour to go from almost dead to fully charged. *Recommendations * I recommend choosing a size for a finger that is not next to fingers that you already put rings on as it might not get along with them plus it might scratch them since it is really high on the Mohs scale. They recommend using your nondominant index finger. I chose my dominant middle finger because I wear a watch and rings on my left and wanted to even that out and my right middle finger felt the most comfortable to me. This, of course, is what led me to scuff it right away and I do have to temporarily switch it to my left side when I am working with my hands even though it fits loosely. It’s definitely ideal to go with a size that fits multiple fingers, which I now kind of wish I had done. Also, the ring fits me well in the size I chose but it almost falls off when I have wet hands. The ring is slightly larger the ring sizer plus the rounded edges makes it easier to remove. With all this said though, it is not so loose that it rotates by itself, so it is still a good size and gives my finger room to swell, it’s just iffy when wet. I thought this worth mentioning as something to consider if you plan on using it while swimming. *Conclusion* I am truly loving this ring and how much insight I am getting into my health. I am also excitedly waiting for the rest of the analytics to load up. I think it is amazing that it can compile data to know when you might even have an underlying issue you are unaware of. There is so much to gain from something so small, conspicuous, and comfortable. I recommend this over a fitness watch.

Love the color and the fit and all the great information that I get from this ring.

Great sleep tracker and battery lasts a couple days on full charge. Very intuitive and only gets better the longer you wear it.

So light weight and easy to wear! Love the color cloud. It goes with everything! Battery life is good and charges super quick.

It was great, perfect fit, and everything. The only downside to the O-ring is that you have to pay for a membership, but if you’re OK with that, then it’s a great fit for you.

This ring is comfortable beautiful works great with giving me my health information. I’m glad I waited till this one came out because it’s amazing.

Love all the health benefits and what you can integrate with it. Excited to see how my blood work syncs with app

I was using the Apple Watch but lets be real, there only so much it can tell me. Enter the Oura ring. Especially as a woman to be able to track cycles, amongst many other biomarkers this has been the missing piece for me to help gauge my health and know when to push hard or really let myself rest. So far it's just gotten better as I continue to use it and build up the data.

I love this ring, I review it in the morning to check my activity and sleep score

I love this oura ring so much. It tracks sleep and cycle so well!

Very good I liked it It was a solid product It got

Pro: -More comfortable than previous gen -Accurate sleep tracking -Week long battery life Con: -Almost useless without subscription -The thickness can get in the way The Oura 4 Ceramic gives a different look to the ring compared to the metal ones. It has a deep shine like it has two layers of glossiness, looking very much like a new coffee cup. While I do like the look, being ceramic, I’m concerned about its finish long term since they tend to dull over time. On the inside are sensors, increased from the previous generation. The sensors no longer protrude making it more comfortable to wear. The ring is still thicker than a typical ring and it can definitely get in the way. I wear it mostly on my middle finger and it presses into the other fingers. It can also get snagged on my pockets or hit against surfaces. The tracking is mostly accurate from what I’ve seen. It tracks activity, sleep, and body signals which it uses to present them as Readiness, Activity, and Sleep scores. The sleep tracking is very accurate and shows exactly when I wake up and the total time I’m actually asleep. The activity tracking can seem off at times. Sometimes I feel like I’m moving around more than what is tracked and other times it seems to track more than what I’m actually doing. For instance, I was just walking around the house not doing that much and it wanted to log it as an activity for over an hour. What is shown on the app’s main page can seem like it’s too simplified in some areas. On the main page, it displays your activity goal, scores, and timeline for the day. You have to go deeper in the pages to see more information. Something like steps or calorie burned should probably be on the main page. However, once you do open up each tab, there’s a lot of information and graphs giving a more detailed breakdown of the scores. Being able to see all the details can help motivate you to improve your habits. The big negative is that it requires a subscription for the tracking, and without one, it’s practically useless. Without one, it will only give you the three main scores without any other information. If you don’t want to pay a subscription, then this is not for you. The battery life lasts about a week, maybe a little less. On day six, it was down to about 25%. It also charges very quickly, maybe about 30 minutes to full charge. Whether this is worth it or not depends on the user. If you don’t like having a thick ring on all the time, or if you need tracking without the subscription, then there are other devices. If you want something smaller and more discrete then it may fit your needs. It may take some getting used to having a ring this size on all the time. From what I’ve seen so far, sleep and vital tracking are accurate, but activity doesn’t seem to be as much.

I find the data the ring collects very insightful, however, the ring does scratch easily. I would recommend a cover for when using it while weight lifting.

I love this for all the features it has. I can monitor my stress, sleep and activies.

I love the ceramic design. It’s very comfortable to wear.

Very pretty and tracks so much of my fitness. Would recommend

I love my Oura ring!!! It tracks so many things, I never knew it could.

The concept of the ring great. Unfortunately, I had to return it. The ring was in the way of working out ( holding kettlebells and/or dumbbells) and it was very heavy on my pointer finger
