Oura Ring 4 First Impressions After Using It For a Week

Oura’s app makes health metrics feel personal and actionable, giving it a leg up over other wearables. But you have to pay a monthly subscription to make the most of it.

The ring is expensive enough, the subscription requirement is just offensive.

[jsan]

Stop buying products that come with monthly subscriptions

[chijimmy]

Paying $6 a month is a ripoff. I bought one before the monthly fee and now it sits in a drawer.

[libertysound]

Monthly sub for a ring? lol what a joke

[Andy_B.]

Don't need a ring for health track,

need a ring for fast checkout / payment, keep some crypto in a ring-wallet, store some other important data
(and maybe some important health data for first responders).

What ring offers that?

[Luli]

How can you wear this when lifting weights?
And what is the point that it tells you you did not sleep well or other stats … does it suggest things to adjust to make you less sleepy, less stressed, etc. Just hard for me to understand why we just want to simply know these statistics without any guidance from the tool.

[Gooeybrowniebaby]

have they scraped the extortionately mad subscription? That's the only improvement they can make that I can think of

[gab-rielle]

I fear that there is little to no difference between the gen 3 and gen 4. Mine is being delivered tomorrow, I'm preparing to be super disappointed.

[thefaceroll]

Glad I was able to get that lifetime subscription. Love the ring, but I wouldn’t use it if I had to pay for it monthly.

[TrumpTheOrangeHouse]

Surprising when I went from one to ring two, they offered a lifetime subscription, which is wonderful for me however, my hope is that they would offer us again to upgrade from the three to the four for a nice incentive

[Ilovesony]

I prefer Ringconn 💍 with The Gen 2 on the way

[RickLindstrom]

In the future, I suggest against publishing a video for a product to only tried for a week. Each of us probably spent longer watching your video than you spent watching your ring metrics.

[YaFaceIsMine]

The biggest disappointment for me is the lack of nfc for contactless payments. That was the biggest reason for me to buy one.

[VEOSEEO]

If these companies actually want to change the world… 🌎 stop locking your product to a subscription

[donelgwapo]

Is there subscription? If so, not buying it.

[petkopetrov]

My biggest complaint is battery, my gen 3 last line 3-4 days and the worst thing is to wake up in the morning with battery low and no recording of your previous night sleep.

[MataNataM]

Ngl I clicked for the cassette tape ring.
That’s all you need to know what my thoughts on the oura are 💀

[NoGattsuNoGlory]

Response to ringconn 2... Because they're scared that they will lose out if they didn't bring it out

[Cujobob]

They make good products, but I think it just makes more sense to get an Apple Watch because you’ll get more functionality and likely more support. This needs to do something significantly different from smart watches or be much cheaper.

Chinese aliexpress versions work similar but no monthly sub
