Customer Ratings & Reviews

After three weeks of wearing an Oura Stealth on my index finger, I think until and unless Oura offers half sizes, this device should not be considered a “wearable” for many of us. I went to Best Buy to use their sizing kits and take advantage of helpful humans and same-day purchase. I was planning a trip in three weeks and wanted to test the ring’s ability to track health during travel. I found a Best Buy expert who said index is the preferred finger. A 9 was a bit tight but she said previous Oura owners were dissatisfied with results from other than a snug fit. I bought it. A week later I asked Oura Customer Service about the slight depression on my index finger and whether a ring finger is acceptable. Two days later I received a glorified AI FAQ (or rather, “FAQ off”) email with a name at the bottom to make you think a human actually spent time on it. “Naomi” said only that index is preferred and there are no half-sizes. In effect, suck it up. Even so I went back to Best Buy to size the ring finger and found a slightly better fit, but Best Buy did not have it in stock. With only a few days left before departure I decided not to risk mail order. Big mistake. I learned that fingers swell quite a lot during air travel. At some point I noticed the ring was chafing painfully. I put some soap on it to get it over the knuckle and applied it to the ring finger, where it now fit pretty well. The ring finger test lasted two days. It was looser fit and did not pick up data near as well as the index. At some point I looked down to see the ring was gone. Whether at a luggage carousel or washroom I don’t know. But good riddance. The ring was nice looking though not as sleek as my wedding band; worn on the dominant index finger it interferes a bit with pens and forks, but on the other hand it interferes unacceptably with fretting a guitar. I didn’t like the app. I wanted to check it upon waking to see how sleep went, and review activities from the previous day. Data download data from the ring takes long—OK, a tradeoff for small size and longer battery life, live with that. Pressing the top-tab for “Yesterday” takes me to a calendar from which I can select yesterday and see… today’s scores again. After fussing about in the menus I manage to find yesterday’s data curves but I’m still not sure how I got there, perhaps it just takes time for the app to retrieve the saved data from a server somewhere. Activity tracking is not intuitive. The app guesses your activity and asks you to confirm. Guesses well for playing guitar or walking—stationary bike not so well, I think because the accelerometer is not as engaged. The ring has only this, ten-minute interval heart rates, SpO2 readings and time of day as inputs, and uses some algorithms to interpolate from that. You can change the app’s guess about your activity by selecting from a list with “choices” including Finnish baseball but not, oddly enough, sex or sauna. I tried to use “Tags” feature as a workaround but the entry screen is unhelpful. I can choose Start and End times, but cannot compare to detailed heart rate graphs to refine when those happened. It takes three passes to save all three Tag data points. I got little from the analyses. It was told when I got to sleep late—I knew that without the app—but no advice on why REM and Deep sleep are consistently red, though I felt rested. (One poster on internet said he fixed his low scores but getting a different ring!) I saw interruptions in SpO2 that might mean sleep apnea—or one of five other things, like a poorly-fitting ring. I saw no info on stress levels (yet). I was consistently low on heart rate variability, which is supposedly a bad thing, but I felt fine. Maybe the ring needed more time to adjust to my personality. I was hoping to see if I needed the extra analysis provided by the add-on $5/month subscription but never did understand what was covered and what not. I see from Oura-sponsored research that Oura does a 5% better job at detecting sleep levels than other wearables; but none are as good as EEGs. Bottom line: expensive with hidden fees. If a perfect fit, it might work for you. Otherwise, until and unless Oura makes half sizes for the rest of us, their rings cannot really be considered “wearables.” Watch formats work as well for less money.

Oura 4 feels better last longer. I have used the Oura for years had the 3 for years and finally upgraded to the 4.

The Oura ring excels at in-depth sleep and recovery tracking in a sleek, screen-free design. It provides valuable insights into your sleep stages, HRV, and readiness, empowering you to understand your body better. its focus on holistic well-being and comfortable wear makes it a standout for those prioritizing sleep and recovery. If you're serious about optimizing your rest and listening to your body, the Oura ring is a powerful tool.

I’ve been using my Oura Ring for about three months. Overall, I really like the design and how comfortable it is — sometimes I even forget I’m wearing it. The sleep tracking and readiness insights are helpful, and the app is easy to understand. However, the one big downside for me has been the battery. When I first got the ring, the charge would last several days. Now, barely three months later, the battery only lasts about a day before I need to recharge it. For something that’s supposed to be worn continuously, that’s disappointing and a bit inconvenient. The ring itself works well, but the battery performance hasn’t lived up to my expectations. If the battery lasted like it did at the beginning, this would easily be a five-star product. As it stands, it’s just “okay.”

I bought it as a gift for my wonderful girlfriend, and ever since she got it, she has not gone on a day without wearing it, she loves it. It counts her steps and how active she’s been. She loves being able to track how she sleeps. And when it tells her that she has had spikes in her stress levels. That reminds her to take a breath and take a step back. The ring size was perfect, she loves everything about the product. I was sitting right next to her when she was setting it up and she got it done within 15 minutes. I think it’s helped her with a lot of the things that she’s wondered about for so long It’s really reliable battery wise She hasn’t had an issue with the software or app Overall, I think it’s a wonderful product and so does she I would give it a 10 out of 10

The oura ring is great! The biggest thing for me is the sleep feature, I hardly get the proper amount of sleep but since acquiring the ring I have been much better about getting the proper amount of sleep. It even alerts you once bedtime is approaching and suggests you start preparing for quality sleep. Upon waking based on the amount of sleep I got it tells me how ready I am for the day. Very good purchase.

Because it’s a ring, it’s very discreet — no screen, no “watch” look. Compared to many smartwatches, having up to a week of battery is a strong plus, especially since you don’t have to “charge every night.

The app is easy to navigate. It did take a few days to adjust to the ring itself, but after that it was fine. I only need to charge it once a week and takes about 45 minutes.

When I went into Best Buy, I wanted a health product that would keep me accountable of taking care of myself. I was going back and forth between an Apple Watch and the ōura ring, and consulted with an employee on which is better. I started leaning towards the ring since the consultant said it much more accurate than the Apple Watch. I like how it can show symptoms and what’s straining your body, and can track your vitals and break it down. It’s also aesthetically pleasing to me. I would recommend if you’re looking for a healthier lifestyle change.

Great ring, Apon opening it nake sure not to place the ring on the charger incorrectly because it will get stuck. Also keep in mind that fingers do swell from time to time so try not to get a ring that is too snug to begin with if you dont plan on using the sizing kit to find the ideal size. This ring does a great job of tracking my sleep habits. Do be aware that it will get scratched if you dont put a protective band on it right away.

She loved it, it's very functional. She doesn't even take it off to go to the bathroom, since it's always monitoring her sleep, heart rate, how many steps she takes a day, and it's very accurate in all those measurements.

Stylish among other things. Love the features and peace of mind having ability to track health

I really love all the data it tracks, especially the sleep data! The battery lasts at least 6-7 days for me personally, and charges quick! My only complaint is that is seems to scratch very easily—I’ll be getting covers for it for sure

My wife has been using it for 2 months now and she loves it. Literally talks about her stats everyday haha. Seems to be pretty accurate on a daily basis as well. The battery life also last for a few days and charges pretty quick as well. Overall, it was a great buy in my opinion and I plan to get one for myself as well now

I was worried ab it being too bulky and in the way but it actually doesn’t at all. It’s very comfortable and way better that wearing an Apple Watch all the time. Would highly recommend.

Great ring. Lightweight, comfortable, and tracks my sleep and activity very well. The app is simple and clear. Definitely worth it.

Almost perfect. The reason of not having 5 stars is because the tracking of my heart rate while working out isn’t accurate at all, even when having the sensor facing my palm (tried even with tape so it won’t slide) I was averaging 110 to 130 bpm while on my other more accurate tracker I was between 150-170. I think if they fix that issue this will be a perfect product. Sleep wise is hands down the best product you can get and battery also last a long time

absolutely love my oura ring! it’s helped me understand my sleep patterns and how to improve it. another feature i love is the stress monitor, i’m able to detect what stresses me the most in my day and learn how i can control it during those moments. although there is a subscription it truly has helped me improve the quality of life and that’s something worth paying for!

Works great.Works well for tracking your workout and sleep. Baterry last for 5 to 6 days.

love this so far! It is great seeing my sleep and activity on it, without have to wear a bulky watch. The charge lasts me about 3 to 4 days. If you aren't used to wearing a ring it does take a few days to get used to but other than that, perfect.
