After six months with the third-generation OuraRing, it has barely left my finger. This is what it has been like, and why I'm worried about its future.
Out of every piece of wearable technology I’ve ever owned or reviewed, the Oura Ring has been the one I have worn most consistently. In fact, I have almost a year’s worth of unbroken historical data logged in the app, and that’s more than I have for the Apple Watch, my other preferred piece of wearable tech.
I wear it day and night and have never found it annoying. I sized it with a little room to spare, ensuring it’s not too tight even when my finger is hot. It’s a little loose for this reason, but it has never come close to slipping off accidentally. The overall look has grown on me too. For the third-generation model, I chose gloss black over the matte Stealth model, and much prefer the way it glints compared to the rather flat Stealth look.
When do I take it off? I don’t wear it at times where I think it may be a safety issue, or when I’m doing things that wouldn’t take kindly to being scratched. For example, I take it off for intensive manual work, as I don’t want it getting caught on anything, and I don’t wear it to wash my cars. Wearing it when exercising is fine, but it does depend on what you’re doing. I find it gets in the way when I’m gripping a dumbbell, but not uncomfortably so.
Previous Next 1 of 7 The Oura Ring is most effective for monitoring sleep. It provides a total sleep score for each night’s rest, along with crucial data on duration, heart rate, and heart rate variability . Dig deeper and trends show any changes, and there are individual sections that alert you if anything has changed from your normal sleep routine overnight.
What are the downsides? The Oura Ring itself has few downsides outside of the fairly high $300-minimum price,. The missing update for sleep staging is unfortunate, as the ring still insists that I am waking up during the night when I really don’t think I am, and it also underestimates my REM sleep stage compared to other wearable sleep-tracking devices I use. The daytime step count varies too, but not drastically. Overall, it’s as accurate and trustworthy as any other wearable.
Subscriptions are a hateful business model for a wearable device, especially one as expensive as the Oura Ring.
