The navy is currently using that to track personnel’s sleep schedules to assist with balancing work load and work schedules

This is a luxury product. The subscription killed it at the door .

I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing I paid over $500CDN for a sleep tracker.

I'm using the ring and used to use the gen 2 ring too. But I want to say one thing for potential new owners, especially Android users. This company always gives their iOS app a priority. A feature that automatically detects and record activities has been in their iOS app since this February but this hasn't been implemented in the Android app yet for 10 months

7/20/22, Update: Oura has treated iOS and Android users a little bit more equally, the feature that I wrote originally is already available for Android users and they recently added a new feature and that got available for Android within 2 or 3 weeks after iOS.

Anyway, with a comfortable strap and the Sleep as Android app my Watch Active 2 can do all of that... Without costing over 300€ and without a 5.99€ subscription service.
Even if this thing were to work perfectly, that last part is an absolute dealbreaker for me. Having to pay for a subscription service *ontop* of the high price for the device *just* to use its basic features is an absolute no-go for me.

Love this video and the idea of wearing a ring instead of a watch is great. I'm no expert to smart rings, but when i went to check the page i expected max 200€ but it is 320€... Too pricey for me unfortunately and you also have to buy a membership? wow.

[Joey.]

I like the idea but if I'm not mistaking you have to pay to get all of the features monthly after you buy the ring (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm not down for that

[VampirusX]

I would love to have an integrated NFC chip in this ring... that would be the ultimate daily accessory!
Buying stuff with your ring and all these features 😍

cool idea, one ring to rule them all!

I have had Gen 2 for a year and just got the Gen 3. Overall it works great. Seems like there is some issues when updates or new products come out though but it typically gets fixed within the week. Battery life is good. I wear it in place of a wedding ring. Best feature is the heart rate monitor and body temperature tracking. When either seem to be on the rise u can immediately change diet, workout habits, and sleep schedule to prevent any minor illnesses from taking hold. I have not had a cold or flu since buying this.

I just received my upgraded Gen 3 ring. I've been using the Gen 2 since December 2018 and I love it. It's so comfortable that I wear it all day and night and only give it a charge when I'm at the sink in the morning shaving, etc. The best point is that based on the data, I've changed my eating time and bed time which has optimized my sleep quality. Craziest of all is that it only weighs about 3.3 grams.

I have Gen 2 Oura and love this thing! It's very accurate!

[thedodif]

I would buy this so fast if it had some type of notification settings as well. Maybe just vibrate once for a text message. Or vibrate for a set alarm. That is one thing that I've gotten spoiled with, with my smartwatch.

I’ve worn the Oura ring for two years now and I love it. It’s the first thing I check every morning. Highly recommended.

As a sleep researcher, 1: this product is really good for a whole lot of things, but 2: it can't really tell sleep stages apart so well (it guesses more than anything) and 3: the algorithms overestimate sleep (if you watch a movie it might think you entered sleep)

Don't get me wrong, it is a great tool, it gives people a focus on sleep and people REALLY don't put enough focus on sleep! And, it really can give you a great idea of your sleep onset latency, sleep quality, wake after sleep onset, etc. But just like fitbits, apple watches, etc, it can't really tell sleep stages apart (unless it is around your head like an EEG or a polysomnograph, you can't really know the stage of a person with great accuracy). But then again, how important is it really for regular people to know exactly how much time they spent in REM, N2, N3, etc?

[scottlaurie]

Was tempted until I saw there is a subscription to make it work after handling over $300-$400 to purchase it.

[tabboo]

can i use one of these as a wedding ring?

[Kaleb]

I bought an oura ring and it's one of my best investments

[architgarg]

You can see if you have slept well if feeling well. I used to use trackers earlier but they are not going to change my lifestyle I have to. Its just shows you some data that I think many people might know already not very specifically but you can feel it.

[AMIRBENDABI]

Quite cool to see that a ring now can measure the psychological signals of your body and gives you accurate data on how you've slept the previous night.
