oura ring review

[Zane_Zaminsky]

71 year old geezer here. I’ve had the Oura Ring GEN 3 for one year. The only time I take it off is when I charge it. I think the ring is FANTASTIC. It gives me terrific information that I rely upon daily. I’d be lost without it. 😉

I’ve been thinking of getting an Oura ring for a while, so I’ve watched a lot of reviews. Yours is one of my favorites! Very informative and love the editing ☺️

[pixelcharlie]

Thanks for that review! When you mentioned that it's not really accurate in measuring physical activity, that did it for me. Really helpful!

Hey Robin. Congratulations on your engagement, what a smart idea for a ring! Your fiance is a genius! I've owned the Oura Gen 2 and upgraded to Oura Gen 3. l work in the sleep industry, I actually sell mattresses. I am also an athlete, (a keen cyclist). I needed the Oura ring to manage performance and recovery. I also wanted to know all about my sleep patterns etc. My Readiness and Sleep scores have improved (as I became more disciplined, in order to get better sleep). Although all the metrics are highly individualized, I would like to see my friends, family metrics within the app (a feature not been made available since it's conception - which is a CON). If made available, it would encourage more conversation or support to get back on track....some people need to be reminded to take a break or to try and focus on sleep etc. Take driving for example, in extreme cases of fatigue, this can be the difference of someone making it from point A to point B, versus not making it at all!. I could go I should not write a novel! If you reach out to me, I am happy to discuss with you the best!

I replaced my wedding ring with an ENSO ring, yeah, that was not a popular choice for everyone in my family. I then replaced that ENSO ring with an ŌURA Ring generation 2.0. It has been a good 700 days later and... Yeah, oh yeah, wearing an ŌURA Ring to bed is the best way to track sleep and learn more about my sleep habits. I just love wearing a smart ring. I would like the battery life to be 15 days though. If ŌURA increased the weight by three times and allowed me to charge the wearable twice a month - oh yes, that would be epic. Nice video, "The Science of Self-Care" and I subscribed.

I have had the Amazon Halo since it came out. I loved it because it was accurate (especially the sleep data), inexpensive, easy to ignore, and the battery lasted days. With Amazon no longer supporting Halo, I was looking for an even more discrete alternative. Ordered Oura yesterday and waiting for a sizing kit!!!

[SnepyGirl]

Love the review. I also have the oura 3. They do mention that the battery life is shorter than 7 days if you have the oxygen meter on.
Personally I make it till day 7. But I don't keep Bluetooth on, don't use the oxygen tracker, don't use the location tracker and only sync 1 time a day in the morning with natural Cycle and then look at the data from the day and night before

[GirlMeetsSunshine]

I visit the OURA website every once in a while and just boldly forwarded this video to my bf. Hopefully he'll get me an oura ring as an engagement ring, too. 😇 This is SUCH a sweet gesture and so useful as well! I'm mostly interested in heartrate, activity levels and the body temperature measurements for fertility reasons.

[KennethGriffith_International]

I have the Gen 3. I love the ring, but hate the subscription. After 1 year the battery life is down to 2.5 days. I would be glad to pay for a subscription if part of it was paying for my next ring upgrade.

[srconrad]

Great to hear! Did a lot of research and finally pulled the trigger. Waiting for my sizing kit. Mostly interested in the sleep info.

[RundownwithRachel]

Congrats on your engagement!!!! You have me sold on the Oura! Thank you for yet another high quality and honest video!

[stezimmermann]

Ow my congratulations for your engagement! I discover your videos today and this is the third one, I appreciate your Chanel and love the idea to have one ring to trac everything. I use a thermometer for my cycle and a band for steps basically, and have everything in one place looks a really smart idea, and no scream!!! I am having a pretty ruff year and struggling to back to my old form, sleep is an issue and after start to walk at least 5k steps a day have some positive effects so far. I hope you channel grow, thanks you for sharing your discoveries.

[NikolaiBerk]

Love the channel! Can’t wait for the 3 month review video of your fiancé.

I returned mine after a week. It was HORRIBLY inaccurate. It thought I was asleep just for laying still. It would report I was asleep and even in DEEP sleep on days that I had insomnia and was up until 2 hours after it said I started sleeping. Support escalated my ticket at my request till I reached the higher levels and they basically admitted that my ring is not malfunctioning and the product is not accurate, but customers should be alright with that.

[Hmework]

Congratulations on the engagement. I use a miband, it was cheap and the algorithm isn't that good on it but it does track sleep duration accurately. The best tip I suggest for sleep is doing CO2 training (like co2 tables but not those) and breath holding. Vagus nerve yoga techniques help too but CO2 was the best for me.

Hi Robin! Your video review of Oura ring is very helpful. Great presentation and very thorough evaluation of its Pros and Cons. Thanks so much for helping me assess its potential. I work a lot with Lucid Dreaming and Dream Yoga. So my interest was piqued in Oura to know and understand the quality and state of sleep and dream states better. I have not yet decided on spending yet, but will definitely look at Oura now, thanks to your review.

[TheMrsWarhol]

Hey! Just got my ring today. I am excited because I feel like is a good device to track everything in one place. I wear a Garmin for running/strength training, an Apple (which also does some tracking but short battery life) and sometimes I want to wear my fancy watch. I don't like to wear a watch when I sleep. So while the Oura ring may not be as accurate for my running data, I still will have that via my Garmin. I'm hoping Oura will help me manage stress better!

[Santa-nyyp]

Congratulations on your engagement. Have you looked into circadian rhythm for better sleep? I used to have horrible sleep habits. No i sleep 9ish pm and wake at or before 430am and it's been life changing. I alway endeavor to get the first 15 minutes of sunlight in my eyes most days.

[Sterlingdg]

Wow I had no clue about the subscription. That is a definite con for me.

[amberlaird]

I slept pretty poorly last night and I’ve been really tired today. So that sleep tracking stuff sounds intriguing. It would be really interesting to compare my own intuition about my sleep quality to the data.
