OURAOura Ring 4 - Silver - Size 10 - Size Before You Buy

This is my first Oura Ring purchase. It was very easy to set up the app and pair the ring. The ring fits well, it is durable and the smooth finish makes it comfortable to wear all day/night. I love that it is waterproof. My favorite feature is the “Find My Ring” feature. The health information the ring provides is overwhelming at first. Once you learn what each section means and how it all works together, it paints a picture of your health to discuss with your doctor. The ring does not replace your doctor but it assists in getting the conversation started. I highly recommend this stylish ring that prompts you to get up and move while tracking your metrics.

I know the Oura Ring comes at a steep price but I truly think it is worth it. I have had it since February and I only ever take it off to charge it. The biggest con is that the rose gold coating has a few chips on the outer edges and I have scratched it up pretty good. I have put this ring through a lot though so I’m not that surprised. You can buy clear silicone “cases” for it but it dulled out the brightness of the color itself. I still get compliments on how pretty it is even though I have been rough with it. The first week wearing it was an adjustment. At first it felt heavy and bulky but after the second week I stopped noticing it. I got a size 8 and it’s the perfect fit and feels comfortable. It doesn’t ever slip off but it’s easy to remove. My main reason for getting the Oura Ring was to help me keep track of my cycles and ovulation. I love the app and everything it has to offer. Overall the quality is great and I recommend this ring to all of my family and friends.

Let me start by saying I REALLY wanted to like this ring! I wouldn’t have spent so much money on it if I wasn’t all in!My first disappointment came from, just learning/realizing that the ring did not have the functionality that, I had understood it to have.Does it track your heart rate?Mmmmm… sort of. If you are hoping for it to track your heart rate while you are exercising, you are going to be sorely disappointed. It does heart rate readings every 10 to 30 minutes. No matter what you’re doing. That is one reading every 10 to 30 minutes… Which by the way you have no control of so it might be 10, it might be . So if you’re hoping to capture your peak heart rate while you are exercising, good luck. There is a function where you can record your workout and, I thought maybe that would be a workaround but no, all that really does is, record your path with GPS tracking to give you a visual of the route you took. And it’ll take a couple heart rate readings but, again, not at any meaningful regular interval while you are exercising. There is a manual function to check your heart rate which, has to be selected in the app and then it asks you to stay still for 30 seconds so that it can take your heart rate… And again, if you’re exercising, and you want your heart rate being tracked, you can’t stop everything and pull out your phone every few minutes to force it to take a reading. And, don’t forget, to also stop and be still so that it can take the reading.🤦‍♀️Does it detect when you are stressed?One of the features this ring boasts is, tracking your stress. Supposedly, your body gives off particular signals when you are stressed and, the App puts a lot of focus on the amount of stress that you’ve had during your day. The problem is, it’s wildly inaccurate. It goes further to say that, eating, exercising, or doing things you enjoy can all give off those same signals as stress lol so, it’s not really a very useful metric for anything IMO. It will say I am stressed when I am eating, when I am exercising, but even when I am doing something relaxing and enjoyable like, in my garden interestingly enough, it has correctly detected a few times that I got particular news that sent my stress levels way up. It did pick those up. But, again, how useful is it if, it picks up so much of everything else as stress also 😆 I mean unless you are just a slug and lay around all day, it’s going to report that you had stress throughout the day 🤷‍♀️And how about that subscription? Does the ring give basic metrics without the subscription?No. Big fat no. This is my biggest problem with this ring. I didn’t know if I felt like that the subscription would be valuable enough to me so I made sure before I purchased it that, if I didn’t want the extras of the subscription that the ring would still continue to track the most basic things like, step count. And, it reports that it does do that. HOWEVER, what they fail to mention is that, they don’t make that data available for you to see anywhere anymore lol and, it no longer updates Apple health or whatever other app you are integrating in with. So, it does NOTHING without the subscription. The only thing it will do is give you these silly readiness scores for your day. If it feels like you got a good nights sleep then it will give you a good readiness score for the day and a good sleep score. But you will see absolutely none of the data that went into building that score. No more steps, no more heart rate, no more anything. That’s IT. You can buy a ring for a fraction of the price that gives you all way more functionality, WITHOUT a Subscription. The way they make it sound before you purchase is that the subscription gives you a lot of extras. And I was willing to pay that if I felt like those extras were really valuable but because the data is so wildly inaccurate, I didn’t feel like it was particularly valuable what I thought I was getting as an “extra” From the subscription. Had I known it wouldn’t do the most basic thing to count steps without a subscription, and actually show them to me either in the app or by writing them to Apple health, I would have never purchased this ring.You’ve been warned! Good luck!

I’m an Apple user, and the Oura Ring 4 has been the perfect addition to my setup. The design is sleek and comfortable — I barely notice I’m wearing it. What really makes it stand out, though, is how well it tracks sleep and overall recovery.The insights on sleep quality, readiness, and activity have helped me better understand my rest and how it connects to my daily strength and energy. The data feels accurate, and the app is clean and easy to use, syncing smoothly with my phone.If you’re already into health tracking, this is a fantastic companion to the Apple ecosystem. For me, it’s been a game-changer in monitoring my sleep and keeping a closer eye on my recovery.

I ordered the Stealth color because of the reviews on scratches. I’m very active and have no marks after 2 weeks. I am having problems with it staying changed. I contacted the company and they said to allow it to fully charge. The charge does not last an entire day. It does give good information. I think I need the entire month to fully experience it. If the charging remains an issue I will return it. It’s suppose to last a week. Haven’t found that at all. It does track sleep and activity well.Everyone will need to decide what’s best for them on this one. Personal connections and information.

So far, I’m very happy with my Oura Ring. I’m honestly surprised by how accurate it is—it really does a great job tracking my health and daily patterns. It’s comfortable to wear, the battery life is solid, and it charges quickly.Since I’ve started using it, I’ve noticed improvements in my health habits. The only drawback is that it does scratch a bit easily, but I work in construction, so that’s to be expected. One small quirk is that when you’re watching TV or working at the computer, it might log it as a nap due to lack of movement. Thankfully, you can easily dismiss those entries if they’re incorrect.Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants an easy and effective way to track their health.
