Where do I begin. I was gifted an Oura ring from my job a few months ago, and at first everything worked fine. Once about a month after I got it, the ring disappeared from my Bluetooth list of devices, and after trying to find it again per the Oura online instructions, I ended up having to delete and redownload the app, and it worked. Fast forward 3 months, and the ring disappeared again. This time, reloading the app didn’t work, and my online account I set up when I first used the ring completely disappeared. I could no longer log into my account as my email was no longer recognized, and my ring either is just dead or isn’t broadcasting anymore. It’s as if my account was just deleted from their servers. On the app, I can’t get past a screen that tells me to connect to an Oura ring, which I can’t do. I contacted customer service via email, and they weren’t able to do anything. They said I’d be contacted by the warranty department, and that was weeks ago. When the ring and app worked, they were very helpful health monitoring tools. When they don’t work, you’re pretty much out of luck. The only good news is I didn’t pay for this; I’d be pretty upset if I paid out of pocket and all I have to show for it is a microchipped hematite ring.

Great except for fitness tracking. The ring is great and I’ve really enjoyed the sleep tracking and readiness insights for the past few months. However, it’s really far behind as a fitness tracker. You can only record workout heart rates for indoor/outdoor running and cycling or walking - nothing else. And if you do another workout like weightlifting, playing soccer, etc, you just have to hope that the ring notices you’re active. After the workout, if it noticed that you were active, you can choose from a massive list of activities - but ONLY after and IF it notices you were moving. Mine hardly notices it if I’m lifting or playing a sport or anything like that. It doesn’t really make sense to me that you can’t indicate another sport or activity prior to a workout or even select “other” before a workout and choose from the list they already have after. For the price of the ring and the technology in it, it should have a bit more flexibility for people who are even somewhat active.

It counts steps while riding in a car!. Don’t want to be active today but still want credit and keep your step count looking good - just sit ride/drive in car for a few hours. After a 3 hour car ride I was surprised to see I had accumulated 1000s of steps. I wrote to Oura and Trevor replied “We have witnessed a small number of cases involving excess activity reporting. As a workaround to this issue, simply place the ring in your pocket when partaking in activities that involve excess motion, such as motorcycling or mowing the lawn.” I’m sitting in a car! Oura won’t allow the user to edit step count. I can’t adjust any data points to account for this. Oura is building algorithms off of junk data and they don’t care to allow the user to help correct the flawed data. And. I tried the pocket and it doesn’t solve the problem, it just counts a few less steps at a lower intensity. Something tells me this canned reply isn’t limited to “a small number of cases” only involving excessive motion.

Excessively complicated and feature lacking. I bought this to track sleep, which it does well, but there are a lot of flaws. 1) the graphs are excessively complicated ( who uses a stacked bar graph??) and I always feel like I’m being inundated with data.2) it doesn’t do a good job detecting naps and you also can’t edit naps 3) it shows you sleep and movement throughout the night but you can’t drag your finger across the timeline to see at what point in the night you had movement 4) it tends to adjust your sleep score based on length of sleep rather than quality of sleep I.e. I had a night of terrible sleep but because I slept for 8+ hours I had nearly a perfect sleep score. 5) It shows your average blood oxygen throughout the night instead of a bar graph or line graph that shows how it varies throughout the night. I could go on but I won’t - honestly the pillow app is better, much more accurate, and easier to digest

Great Product, Worst Customer Service Ever. It goes without saying this is an awesome product. Read the reviews below. As for customer service, there basically isn’t any. There is no phone number to call and my emails have been answered on average 10 days after being sent. The email responses reveal that the sender never looked at my email or considered my situation and just sent out a cut and pasted form letter response. All I am trying to do is exchange my 2nd Generation ring for a 3rd generation ring. I never received any email instructions with QR codes telling me how to do this. Two emails (each 10 days apart for a total of 20 days) were sent to me saying I must have received the instruction. I didn’t. I am not an idiot. I did place an order in the meantime and got an order #. I finally, after 1 month, got an email with instructions on how to return my 2nd generation ring. I had to start by entering in my order #. The order number was not accepted saying this was an unrecognized order #. I screenshot my order # and the page stating it’s an unrecognized # and emailed this to customer service and now, 2 weeks later, still no response. In my 62 years I honestly can say I have never dealt with a company with such horrible customer service. And I am sorry, but “Covid” and “unprecedented backlog of our products” is absolutely no excuse.

App still broken. EDIT: Thanks developer for the response but you’re a couple months too late. Glad someone is taking action all the same. Back in December I finally got a response from the warranty department after I threatened to take action through my state attorney general, and successfully returned my ring for a refund. Just checked the app and seems to be working now even though I no longer have the ring and have deleted my account. Leaving my review below the same because it was such a miserable support experience that took months to resolve. App crashes instantly on open. iOS 16, iPhone 13 Pro, now version 4.7.9 of app. Can’t use ring without app. “Support” has been beyond useless. Unfortunately, if you’re reading this it’s probably too late; you likely already blew 400 bucks on the ring. Hopefully you can get your money back, because I sure can’t! This is among the most miserable customer service experiences I’ve had in my entire life. I wish I could rate this 0 stars.

Worth every penny. I often won’t buy something linked to an app because a lot of times, the product can be great but the app is garbage. But not this one! The ring is amazing and the app is completely functional and I’ve never had a glitch in the couple of years I’ve had my ring. Their support is great, they really work with you to ensure you’re happy with their product. And the data I’ve gotten from my ring is life changing. I’ve changed my eating, sleeping and drinking habits to get better deep sleep and I can tell the difference that’s reflected in the sleep stats. It gives me tips for improvement and it’s all based on my own data. I also know when my period is coming - I hope they release more features for that. Overall, it’s an excellent product and I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to bio hack their body and live a better life!

Think twice. This is a new review after finally getting some straight answers after 8 months of inquisition.I’ve had the Gen 2 which had to be replaced due to faulty battery and then paid almost full price (only about $75 discount) to upgrade to Gen 3. That was quite costly to NOT get all the allegedly upgrades of the Gen3. The “lifetime membership “ is the ability to use the same app I’ve always had but not have to pay a monthly subscription to use it now. But you need the app to use the ring. So not only do you pay hundreds of dollars for the product but unless you pay for monthly subscription you WON’t get the benefits of the gen3 since you won’t have access to the parts of the app to read the data. By the way live heart rate is only available on 4 select activities you have to choose before starting them . Which you use select in the app before the activity or you won’t get a reading. The ring isn’t intuitive enough to record you’ve done something. It is truly only good at reading 😴 🛌. But there is still no pulse ox SpO2 and it’s the only reason I upgraded from the Gen2. So for now I just use my Garmin watch. For everyday activity it’s NOT going to give you the data you need- not yet- not by far. Get an Apple, FitBit, or Garmin for that. If you just want to monitor sleep then this is for you.

Can’t tell when I’m asleep. I purchased this device hoping to better understand my sleep cycle and improve my sleep. Even though it fits well and has good data capture, it consistently fails to detect that I am awake when it thinks I’m asleep. It takes me at least 30 minutes to fall asleep, and it doesn’t even recognize I’m in bed trying to fall asleep for the first 10 minutes, then reports I fell asleep in less than 5 minutes! Oh I wish! I wake up several times during the night and it thinks I’m in light or deep sleep - even for up to 2 hours at a time. I’ve even gone to the bathroom at night and it didn’t think I woke up at all. I don’t move around much while sleeping, and it’s correct about that. It’s also inaccurate with reporting I’m napping while I’m standing up reading on my phone or sitting reading at my desk. I wish I could give it feedback and it could learn my signals so it would be more accurate. The exercise data seems accurate, but sleep and readiness are highly inaccurate for me.

This would be great except for one major flaw. I bought the Oura ring primarily for sleep tracking. Unfortunately, it works poorly for this due to a design choice that Ours views as a feature not a bug. Here is the problem - when I get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom (and as I’m a man over 60, this is basically every night), the sleep tracking records either the period before I got up or the period after. There is no way to correct the period in the app. You can shorten the period it records as sleep but not lengthen it. When I contacted Oura about this they confirmed that that is how the App works and said that if I was to adjust the period to lengthen it I might corrupt the data and get inaccurate stats. I don’t understand how the results could possibly be worse than they are when half of the time I was asleep are missing. I have been using a Fitbit for sleep tracking and it’s not any better at automatically handling this situation but the software allows you to manually correct the sleep period. If Oura allowed me to do this I would give it five stars. Since they don’t I’m probably going to return the ring.

“Spend $500 on our ring with these features then you can pay us to use them! Isn’t that fun?”. I got this ring to pair with Natural Cycles. Prior to this week it would take literally forever for my temperature to sync with the app (sometimes an hour!). Interestingly enough as soon as they had competition in the new Apple Watch they fixed the issue people have been complaining about for months. Crazy how that works 🤪. Overall the app insights are super interesting, I have an infant that obviously wakes during the night and this helps me to keep up with her wakings as well as mine. It’s also cool to see the heart rate and stress tracking. The workout tracking is only mildly accurate I would say but that’s not what I bought the ring for. I’m the most disappointed in the new subscription thing they’ve got going on. “Spend $500 on our ring with all these features, and then you can pay us even more money to use them! Isn’t that fun???” It makes me question why in the world I spent the extra money on the newest ring when the old one has the same features as you get without the subscription for less cost. It’s just a shame to see the greed in these companies. I don’t know if I would recommend it to other people moving forward. At the least the Apple Watch has other features, and you don’t have to pay monthly to use them!

don’t buy this ring. I bought the previous generation ring and was fairly satisfied with the product even with a customer service issue when I had to exchange the first one - despite this I decided to buy the current generation because I had an opportunity to get this ring without having to get signed up for the subscription service (as a current ring owner) that Oura out of nowhere forced on customers (I would definitely not pay a subscription) since I was already a customer - I again had to exchange the first ring in the new generation due to it malfunction - three times in the last two weeks this new ring when I have gone to look at my sleep score shows nothing and I had do a soft reboot get it working again for the next night - there are also constant “firmware updates” so who knows if this is the reason for that…I had no score today and had to do an update and looking back this seemed to have happened around the same time as the problem with getting a score - customer service is an endless loop of having answer this and do that and still no change - very disappointed in a pretty big purchase that doesn’t perform consistently

Rethink your subscription model. I love my Oura ring and the app. I recommend the product as much as I can. This is why I beg Oura to rethink their subscription model. I do not mean get rid of it, but rather make it fair and logical. Remember your mission and understand that your customers picked Oura because it gave us a simple and complete way to understand our health without a subscription. It is my understanding that if you do not pay for the subscription for your Oura ring 3 you will only get your 3 scores but not the deep data that comes with it such as temp, HRV, sleep data and more. These scores are useless without this deep data. Oura please make this deep data available to non subscribers, and have a subscription for anything else that is extra. We are already investing $300 or more for the ring so please drop the paywall, at least when it comes to the deep data for the 3 main scores. I still love my ring and the app but I can no longer just recommend Oura to anyone. Thank you.

Life changing product!. I’ve been a customer since the generation 1 ring. The amount I’ve learned through the use of this ring has been incredible, along with the accountability it creates to make changes in life. Looking at my data over the past 6 years is fascinating, I have no idea how I was coping with my poor sleep quality before purchasing this ring and enacting changes in my life based on the feedback. I just want to thank the ŌURA team for making such an incredible product, and for their excellent customer service over the years. I am a bit confused by some of the reviews mentioning bad customer service because they’ve always been incredibly responsive to me and have replaced 3 rings for me in the past through warranty, in a very quick and no cost manner. Thank you team ŌURA!

Terrible customer service, crap app. Update: Still no response from Oura customer service. I have decided not to upgrade to Oura 3. Its sleep stats have always been pretty inaccurate anyway, why should I reward such a terrible company with my money? And the app has gotten even worse recently. Inaccurate sleep tracking aside, I have always been able to import (before midnight) exercise data from Apple Watch into the Oura app without any problem. Today this import function suddenly stopped working. Even though I have imported 400 calories of (afternoon) exercise into the Oura app, it said I only did 160 calories of exercise. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't also tracking my data with a spreadsheet. What a piece of crap! Terrible sleep tracking, inability to record exercise after midnight, no longer functional (before-midnight) Apple Watch exercise imports, literally zero customer support, greedy subscription bait-and-switch... I hope Oura goes bankrupt very soon. Can't wait to see a better, ethical company kill it off. Sort the App Store reviews by "recent" to see for yourself what the truth is. ps. Oura, no need to tell me to contact your customer service, because it doesn't exist. Original review from November 2021: Emailed them a simple question and still no response after almost 2 weeks. And they want people to start paying them a subscription fee for simple, basic features that have always came included with the ring lol

Meh.. I switched from FitBit to Oura about a year ago. After +-1 year, my Oura has to be charged every 3 days. It lasted 7 days for the first few months and quickly faded. I don’t expect it to last much longer. I’ll probably go back to FitBit soon. I got much better insights from my Fitbit, though it was too bulky and intrusive for my taste (my reason for the switch). I’d recommend the Oura if all you’re concerned with is sleep analysis. But everything else is subpar compared to FitBit. You can’t get real-time anything from Oura. You have to stop and take a “moment” to get any real-time data. My last FitBit basically told me I was pregnant before a pregnancy test came up positive (4 years ago). I can’t even track my cycle with the Oura. And now that they’ve jumped on the subscription bandwagon…im completely over it. I spent $300 on this ring…my FitBit was 1/3 the price and lasted 3+ times longer with better insights. my final thoughts, Oura is not worth it if you want to keep track of your stats.

Really got screwed over by the Gen 2 to Gen 3 transition. I bought my Oura ring a matter of weeks before the cut off of the new Oura ring. For reference, I got my Mom a ring at the 2 weeks after for her birthday and they automatically gave her a Gen 3. I followed up multiple times with customer service to see about upgrading or returning or trading in and they weren’t helpful. They are sticking to their arbitrary cut off date and totally f*cling their customers in the process. We all got an over the top email from the CEO promising a big deal but the deal ended within a matter of days of the email and tracking down customer service to figure it all out was a mess. For instance, I had to email customer service 3 times through 2 different methods before getting any response. I’m sure the Gen 3 will track certain things more effectively as right now Gen 2 clearly gets thrown by certain things. Anyway, I’d heard such good things but was really let down by my experience. It’s been exhausting to try to figure it all out and I really wanted them to be better then they turned out to be. It’s like chasing a company down a rabbit hole to get any kind of answer. Hope they figure it out and meanwhile, I’m not so sure if there’s a truly authentic source on their product to be honest.

Great product and service!. PRODUCT: I don’t typically write reviews on apps, but had to for my Oura. I’ve had mine for just a little over a year and have loved it. I chose the Oura because I have an analog watch that I love and I wear a lot of bracelets, so I didn’t want another thing on my wrist. Also, I have had other wrist worn activity trackers in the past and didn’t feel they were very accurate. The Oura is great because it fits with my existing jewelry. My only complaint is that I can’t do weight lifting with it because it will break (and the little nubs are painful when they dig in, I’ve tried doing kettlebell or dumbbell workouts with it on)! SERVICE: I noticed I was having to charge my ring more frequently in the last couple months, but just thought it was because I picked up my old sport of tennis again and was taxing it with more data. However, when it got to be needing a charge every 36-48 hours, I knew it wasn’t just my imagination. By the time this has happened, I had just passed my year anniversary of having the Oura (by a week). I contacted customer service (super easy through the app) and they responded right away. They mailed out a new ring for me the following day! It arrived while I was out of town, so I’ve only just activated it. It was easy to delete the old ring and pair the new one. I’m happy to have it back and get back to being able to monitor my health again!

App or device problems?. I’ve had my ring for about 6 weeks. I like it, don’t love it, have some major gripes. The first major gripe is that I am only getting a successful heart rate recording during my workouts 30% of the time 6:19 workouts where I clicked the “record hr workout” button and recorded a workout to be exact. The only tip I get from the app is to make sure the ring is snugly fit on my finger. I have indents on my finger, how much more snugly should it fit? This brings me to my second major gripe - I don’t appreciate that the app is actively using my location services / tracking my movements at all times. This is only necessary when I’m recording an actual workout. I end up force quitting the app when I’m not using it. The data I get from the app is interesting, it’s nice to see the trends. I like that it integrates with apple health app. I don’t know if I will continue to keep the subscription if I can’t get a better record of workout HR though.

This is a tool, not an answer. First this is a fantastic product for tracking and understanding trends. It’s functionality with the app, and the fact that it’s a ring is incredible. Second, HRV and heart rate are starting to fade out in terms of accurate assessment as HRV systems are not all the same... you will see in Formula1 racing they no longer use these things. Nonetheless, it’s decent for the public to play with. Oura does not track heart rate or HRV very clearly. I’ve tested this against several other products and devices. Most of which are incredibly well tested. Ive spoken with several other users, and they are getting the same information. For instance, when Oura tells me my RHR was 58 last night, then I put on a medical grade HR/SPO2 monitor and sit down (mind you I’m not lying down asleep) and my HR is at 52, that is a significant difference in terms of testing. This is a problem. BUT, I digress and will say that the ability to track over time and see where you make specific changes or trends is great, and the portability is top notch. $299+ will need to change... but there are plenty of “hackers” afraid of dying who will gladly pay for the next technological product to get them further away from feeling what they are plenty capable of feeling without the tech.

Metrics are way off. I’ve had this ring for years for sleep monitoring. I only recently started really using the Activity tracker for steps in a day. It is way off. I have been walking on a treadmill while working and kept the ring on my finger and the phone in my pocket. I walked about 7000 steps according to the treadmill itself. Apple Health states I have walked 9,226 so far today. Oura states I have walked 2,922 today. Yesterday I ran into the same problem and I thought it was because I had my phone on my desk rather than in my pocket. But now it’s clear that Oura doesn’t use the data from the sensors in the phone itself like Apple Health does and relies only on the ring itself. If I am walking and typing at the same time, my phone in my pocket will pick up my steps, but the ring will not because it’s remaining steady. Either that or the Oura step is not using the phone sensor data correctly. Either way, massively disappointed in something that was nearly half a grand. It makes me wonder how good the sleep tracking is. I will do a sleep study soon and find out…

Love it paired with Natural Cycles. I got the Oura ring to pair with the Natural Cycles app for hormone free birth control and am absolutely loving it. It seems so rare that a tech device works completely seamlessly but I have been very surprised at the fact that there was been no glitch. Each day my Oura app automatically syncs with my Natural Cycles app and I get insightful, helpful, and most importantly accurate information about my cycle without having to do or remember a single thing. Very grateful for this integration. Additionally, I am really enjoying learning more about what kinds of activities provide restorative time. I held of buying this for a long time because I did not think the information was really worth the price, but I definitely have been proven wrong and love the flawless app and functional ring.

Good product. My wife and I have been wearing the rings for months now. I would call us product advocates since we too have found the information very useful. The rings are stylish and practical. The data provided is extensive and useful. A friend shared an article that noted the rings are not very accurate. They compared it to a sophisticated medical device. While good insight I would hardly expect a $300 ring to perform at the same level as a medical device that would cost multiples of this product. The medical grade technology is also not comfortable and would not be used daily. The author also “argues” with the rings comparing how he felt to what the ring stated. Odd thing to do. I find it reliable and tends to be pretty accurate about things like the difference between when I have ingested alcohol or not. The difference is as dramatic as it’s supposed to be. I recommend you look at this as a tool and not necessarily a medical grade device. It can provide useful insights as to how your behavior is affecting your sleep and vice versa.

fitbit vs oura. After wearing a fitbit fir years, i purchased an Oura ring. i like to compare the two results in the morning. They sometimes have similar results but mostly different. Oura alway records more deep sleep ,rem sleep and sleep in general. i wish i knew the accuracy of either. The oura does make me feel better about my sleep because it records more. i think the power of suggestion works so well that it makes me feel like ive had much better sleep. i dont understand the heart rate results or some of the other things it records but im sure that will come. I wear the Oura ring on my thumb, first finger or middle finger. Makes me feel like I’m a smurf that the same ring fits all 3 fingers but it’s nice to be able to move it around. i usually don’t notice it’s there but it gets uncomfortable sometimes so i change fingers. Like my fingers needs a rest changing fingers resolves that. . They suggest to sleep with the sizer over night. When i sized the ring, the sizer i chose for the first night would barely come off in the morning. i think i went up 2 sizes to size 11. i am over weight and don't wear rings normally. The fitbit started recording oxygen levels but wont let you see it unless you pay. that is greedy to me left a bad taste for fitbit. they could show me something but don’t. It makes the fitbit ‘out’ for me. i chose Oura because of that. I wish i knew how accurate it is overall.

Truly AMAZING Product!. This ring has been an absolute game-changer for me; I've had issues sleeping my whole life, and have taken every sleeping pill on the planet, including all the heavy/narcotic ones, and I was sick of not being able to rest for days if I forgot/lost them, couldn't fill the Rx, etc. I also recently started getting back into running for the first time since high school (I'm in my mid-30s). Oura's ability to tell EXACTLY how I'm sleeping (light/deep/REM/awake), and give insights as to how my activity might be helping or hurting my ability to be well-rested the next day, is truly incredible. Simply by wearing this regular-looking (stylish even!) ring, which is water+everything-proof, and has a full week-long battery, I can track EVERY step, heart beat, breath, and nap. I'm now completely off of all my sleeping pills (I was on seroquel, klonopin, and Ambien!), exercising comfortably (usually not more than Ours says is necessary that day), just overall living a MUCH healthier life! My only feature request would be to be able to MANUALLY SELECT WHICH RESTFUL PERIOD IS COUNTED AS YOUR SLEEP EVENT! I often work crazy hours, and if I nap from 1-2am for example, that'll sometimes get counted as my sleep for that day, not my actual sleep from 7am-2pm (which IS recorded properly as a "restful event", but with only a single HR/HRV value). Other than that, it's perfect!

Oura ring CAN NOT figure out iPhone updates or new iPhone!. Every time you update your iPhone OR get a new iPhone it is a TOTAL NIGHTMARE with your Oura ring. I’ve gone through this ordeal TWICE now and it’s exactly the same thing whether updating my iPhone or trying to get the ring to connect with a new iPhone. I’ve deleted the App and re-installed it; turned off the phone and turned it back on; turned off BlueTooth and turned it back on; gone through the entire Factory Reset process; banged the ring on the counter while in the charging port (as described by Oura Customer Service Rep), etc etc etc!!! Although the Customer Service Rep was very patient, after about 15-20 emails back and forth trouble-shooting I was about to call it QUITS with Oura. SOOOOOOOOO frustrating!!! I FINALLY got the ring to collect data again after my last iPhone software update but now with a brand new iPhone here we go again!! It shouldn’t be this hard!

I love love love love this ring. Did I tell you I love it?. My husband passed away a little over a year ago and my sleep has been very sporadic. I often have insomnia. I am trying very hard to get back into a healthy sleep pattern. I have taken over his company and travel a week - 10 days out of the month in different time zones. That, coupled with grief hasn’t been helpful for sleep. The Oura rings helps me to understand my sleep patterns. The first thing I do is check my sleep in the am. I’m still not falling asleep when I should every night, but I am making a point to get at least 7 hours sleep. I love how it tells me about rem sleep and deep sleep and how many calories I burn during the day. It truly makes me more mindful. I even add my meditations in and I can see how my breath slows and my heart beat slow. Just an all around game changer.

Issue with the Sleep Monitoring.... Occasionally I’ll wake up around 3 am for various reasons and it will take me some time to get back to sleep. It could take 30 minutes, it could take 2 hours, but according to Oura if I don’t fall right back to sleep then I’m up for the rest of the day and I have only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep for the night. I am supposed to be able to manually edit my sleep hours but I guess because it shows activity for too long of a period I am unable to do this. So rather than counting those hours of sleep that follow it just looks like long spaces of inactivity. I’ll wake up and have dreamt in that period of sleep, so I’m not sure how it isn’t registering as even light sleep like the rest of the night does. Regardless, it’s not completely accurate if I actually get 6 or 7 hours of sleep and feel more rested than the ring and app show. It affects all of my data, trends and patterns, etc. which is the general point of the ring; sleep being one of the more important for me. I was hoping the most recent firmware update would help address this but it did not. I’m happy to update my review if Oura is able to find a way address this issue. I’ve had Fitbits and Misfits that didn’t have issues recognizing when I was asleep and when I was awake so it’s just a matter of some tweaking.

Excellent tech, mediocre app. The Oura ring is a great wearable. Lightweight, attractive, with good battery life. The sleep stage graphs in the app are much more correlated with my lived experience than any purely app-based sleep tracker I’ve tried, so I trust Oura’s technology. One thing that disappoints me is the small amount of information made available to me. I can find no way to export granular raw data for doing my own analyses. And neither the app nor the online dashboard supports views I would like to see, such as how my body temperature fluctuates throughout the day. (There is a relationship between body temperature and sleep.) In general, I would love to see more emphasis on helping people understand what daytime factors influence their sleep (onset of sleepiness, regularity and duration of sleep stages, premature wake-ups, etc). This would empower people to take steps to improve their sleep quality. The data is there. Hopefully these features will be added in the future. If Oura doesn’t have the resources to do this effectively in-house, they could consider partnering with universities, the way they have for Covid studies. Sleep is absolutely critical for human health, so it deserves this level of attention.

Product is a great tool but has some way to go before awesome. Dec 2023 update: something quirky going on with the new Tagging feature. I added a tag to yesterday but it’s associating it with today. I try to go and delete the tag from yesterday and can’t find where to do this. There is no “Summary” for the day for me to select and see the Tags as their website suggests. Previous and still valid review: My primary issue is that the ring thinks I’m sleeping or napping when I’m not. I’ll be fully awake and it will think I’m sleeping- it even believed that I’m in deep sleep! I’m not sure why- I do have a very low heart rate. But then I’ll have a decent nights sleep (just based on my lack of insomnia and the the feeling of being alert and rested) and it will tell me I had no deep sleep. And currently the app is only letting me adjust my bedtime and not my wake up time. So it essentially thinks I go to bed at 530p and get up at 930a. Even when I’ve successfully adjusted the times, the app will revert back to the original times. Arghh! But I like the ring enough to have gone ahead and upgraded to the new Gen 3. I like seeing my HRV, HR and body temp. It has helped me realize how bad it is to eat late.

Great, but missing a couple of important things. I’ve had my Oura ring for a few weeks now and it’s really starting to sync with my body! It’s a great product! The best wearable I’ve used so far! My biggest problem though is that it doesn’t seem to recognize certain workouts as well as others. For example, I do a lot of weightlifting and I also teach rowing classes. It measures my heart rate accurately but it doesn’t recognize it as a “workout”. If I go for a 20 minute walk, it will recognize that, but it really only seems to give you “credit” for your activity if your arms are moving in a walking pace. I know I can manually enter a workout myself, but there is no weightlifting option. WHY!!?? I work WAY harder lifting weights than I do going for a walk but there’s no real way to track it. Please take this into consideration next software update!

Feedback/Suggestions. I wish there were normal excersizes to track like “indoor cycling”. Idk why there are things like snowshoeing and not just the normal machines that normal middle class people do? My brother in CHRIST. PLEASE. please make an option to manually enter your heart rate. And fix customer service. I am having wildly inaccurate heart rate detection even though he company's validation studies have shown the ring’s measurements of heart rate and HRV to be 99.9% and 98.4% accurate. I’ve been having large gaps and often my ring will think I have a heart rate of 50 when I’m actually tracking at 80-90. With this in mind, I reached out to customer service and after long conversations with multiple people and trying ALL troubleshooting, they said “Idk guess that’s how it is.” For a $300 ring that’s SO disappointing. The heart rate inaccuracy makes my sleep score, activity level, readiness score, everything useless. I feel like it is so unacceptable to tell someone trying to fix this major issue like “I dunno what to tell you :-)” It feels like customer service kind of gives up and I’m sad that a ring I’ve had for seven months is now just useless. I probably wouldn’t recommend the ring solely for the customer service issues.

now does not sync or connect to my iPhone. I initially was excited about this product, as I was trying to improve my sleep. In the beginning, my ring would randomly disconnect from my iPhone, even though I have full charge, and now I can’t even connect. I’ve tried the troubleshooting steps, I’ve tried contact customer support, and the responses have been poor, not helpful, and also takes way too long. For a $300 ring, that is inexcusable. In spite of this, I have asked and pleaded with the Oura support team to at least send me a replacement ring, showing evidence of the disconnect, and following and confirming their steps. THERE IS NOTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY RING. The app and the ring simply REFUSE to connect and the data is not in sync. Now, the support team is not allowing me to return the ring or receive a replacement ring. I am not being unreasonable and am pleading, please resolve this situation by providing a new ring, or allowing me to return this ring for a refund. I work hard for the products I buy, and this is not fair treatment.

Good for sleep, not for athletes. I bought this for my sleep tracking, and for that purpose it has worked well. But the Activity and “Readiness” scores/tracking is completely useless. I am an armchair athlete who is in great shape and works out regularly, with a combination of cardio and strength training of various types, including tennis etc. Every day since I have gotten it, the ring suggests that my readiness is Low and that I should have an active calorie burn of about 150 calories. Which I can get walking around the house in a day, with no real exercise. Supposedly the NBA players are using this (can’t imagine what their readiness scores are!) I wish the Oura were “smart,” meaning it gets to know me and my body and my activity trends, and then could compare my readiness to my average, not some generalized person with a much lower assumed level of fitness and exercise. Or it could allow you to pick from some profiles where one is an active athlete. As it is now, a potentially valuable part of the system- Readiness and Activity recommendations- are completely useless. If you read reviews, you can see this is a common complaint. I hope Oura sees and is working on this!

Best purchase of 2023. Of all the investments i’ve made in my health this year, my Oura ring is by far the best one. I’d wanted one for a little over a year, and really established a routine this year so I decided I’d earned the splurge and if I didn’t like it in the first few weeks it’s returnable within 30 days. Not once did returning my Oura cross my mind. Waking up and looking at my sleep stats and readiness makes me excited to get out of bed each morning, and monitoring my days activity allows me to make smart choices in my body autonomy. Thank you Oura for the tool to connect so expertly to my body. I’m so grateful for this science and it’s accessibility to college students like myself. I would recommend investing in an Oura ring any day if you want accurate, timely, and encouraging statistics about your body.

Excellent hardware, some key misses on software. Five stars on the hardware side. It is clear that a lot of effort has gone in to make a small wearable that can stack up to medical testing equipment for sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing, and oxygen saturation. The activity tracking is decent as well and correlates well with my Apple Watch. The meditation content gets 5 stars too: simple, effective, and no more or less than what is needed. The software however needs some reimagining and usability labs to guide improved user experience. I’m really dismayed that there is no way to have the app STOP ASKING ME ABOUT MY PERIOD START DATE now that I’m pregnant. Your usability studies should have informed you that a subset of your early adopters are women that are pregnant or trying to conceive. Not having a way to log or track pregnancy start is a big miss. At a minimum a way for the period tracker to convert to a pregnancy tracker seems like an enhancement that could be coded over the weekend and that would go a long way toward improving the usability for pregnant women.

Nice ring, does not record temperature. The ring is pretty useful for activity tracking. I was disappointed it does not record temperature (only some warmer/colder scores). It essentially also only tracks heart rate when asleep. I love the one week battery life time though. The app is intuitive and shows a good overview of sleep information and breathing rate etc. Nicely integrated with Apple Health Kit. Breaking news: The ring has a sensor to measure your weight and height. Or so it claims because it requests write access to your height and weight .... Seriously? Update: Thanks for the dev response. Nevertheless, you should still display the raw body temperature somewhere even if the change is more interesting to look at. Ideally share the temperature into HealthKit if that's what you track anyhow or maybe share one value per night. Likewise it'd be great to have a choice to sometimes track HR/HRV when sitting still for long enough during the day (at the expense of battery). It's clunky to have to run find the phone for that. And fix the access right bug where Oura requires write access to height and weight.

GAME-CHANGING technology!! 💥🦾. Oura creates a user-interface that is intuitive, insightful, & inspiring providing the user with a wide-range of data (i.e. heart rate, breathing rate, sleep temperature, sleep cycles, & more). Not only does is the Oura app provide daily insights, but it shows you these parameters over many days/weeks/months allowing you to TRULY understand your body in its slow, natural timeframe. By equipping the ring w/ many sensors, the Oura software team has HUGE potential to use AI in order to fully understand your daily habits in ways that you may not. As of 2020, Oura has yet to release any real-time data visualizations, but through further software development, I believe Oura will seamlessly incorporate new ways to process & analyze the large datasets being recorded by the Oura ring. For those who THRIVE on self-improvement & find STRENGTH through understanding, the stunning Oura ring provides you with the crystal clear picture of your vitals & shows you the HUGE importance of seeking out that perfect night’s sleep.

Not For Overnight or Shift Workers. Unfortunately, if you want a wearable for Sleep Tracking, and you work Overnights or Split Shifts in the evenings, this is not the device for you. It works well for everything else, but cannot accurately measure your sleep time, if you are in bed during daylight hours. When it uploads your data, it will report you had Zero sleep time (hours & minutes) for that “Day,” or skew the results by adding in some of the hours of your previous “Night” and report you had 10, 12 or 14 hours of “Optimal Sleep.” My other devices, - I have two of the major brands of watches - accurately report my sleep period during my day in hours and minutes, without skewing the data. For example, my OURA Ring reports 9 Hours 51 Minutes of Sleep today, and Samsung reports 6 Hours and 11 Minutes, which is correct. Hopefully, some day (or night !) in the future, they’ll figure out how to make the ring work for someone like me. I will continue to purchase every upgrade, in anticipation of that day.

Skeptic turned true believer. I was highly skeptical when a friend of mine who was also treating me for issues related to stress recommended this ring to me. I broke down and bought the ring and it really changed me. I am a data scientist by trade and that’s why I was a skeptic at first. I wasn’t totally sure if the app can really come up with intelligent feedback. But it does. I changed my sleep pattern and really try hard to take breaks and move more. I co-own a consultancy/agency and my days are always crazy between work and family. I felt like I never had time for myself, or I never had enough justification to give myself time for self care. This app did just that. It tells me exactly what I need - go to sleep early, push yourself harder, take it easy, don’t eat too close to sleep time, etc. I love fitness and I love how the app is designed for overall fitness, not just steps, weight and calories. The sync works like a charm. Battery holds well. App is very intuitive.

The best wearable on the market. I’ve had an Oura ring since it was a big black pebble and kept upgrading as they went. It has such an impact on my daily health choices and how mindful I am about simple things like walking more and consistent bedtimes. It’s changed my mindset subtly - the scores keep me tuned into my behaviors in ways other things don’t. Having the new data to track basal body temp for monitoring my cycle more easily is an amazing upgrade, but it was already awesome before they added that feature. It’s small, light, the charge lasts for days and days, the information and features they continue to provide in the app are valuable without being overwhelming and having 5+ years of data is amazing to look back on. Being able to consistently measure HRV is essential and my doctor is a big fan of the tech too and we use the data for our work together as well. The app developers spend the time listening to their customers and invest in keeping the app updated and their customer support is fantastic. This app and this device are the best thing out there and the value is excellent for what you get. Have recommended it to so many friends and family members who now swear by it too.

Huge fan. I am a huge fan of the Oura ring. I purchased one three years ago during an acute time of healing and have used it as a major part of my recovery. It’s super encouraging to be able to collect metrics over the years and see trends of improvement. I love that the ring talks to you specifically and every month and year they give you a review. I love the added improvements of tracking your menstral cycle, temperature, and blood oxygen. I love that you can turn it off Bluetooth to reduce EMF and only turn it on to update and get your readings. I find I am more conscious of my sleep. The feedback they give is really encouraging, never fearful. I lost my ring once and they were super helpful with that and then when I bought the new generation and the update glitched the ring so it couldn’t charge, they took accountability and sent me a new one no questions asked. A really great company, invested in the customer and it is evident. Think Fitbit but even more data and a ring. Oh- and I forgot to add, I like their meditations and breathwork that they offer.

Not even close to accurate. Terrible customer service.. If you use a keyboard all day for work, don’t expect the Oura ring to accurately track your activity. My steps are being doubled every day and the culprit is using the computer for work. Spoke with their customer service rep, Ross, and experienced possibly the worst level of service I have ever come across. First he ignored my questions in my first two emails and simply sent me cut and paste responses from their help Center. Then, after acknowledging that they’re aware of the issue, his solution was for me to take off the ring while I’m working. Not sure what I paid $400 plus an ongoing subscription for if I can’t wear it 8-10 hours per day while working. After I asked for a refund he quickly tried to backtrack and said he would have the product team “look into it”, then he stopped replying to me and is now simply ignoring my emails. Have gone through their website for a refund instead. Will be reverting to an Apple Watch. Better product. Better customer service. More accuracy.

This app’s readiness score is not looking good. After a week with the Ōura, I'm unfortunately relegating it to the "fun trinket" bin. The app is buggy as heck. On my second day, both entries in the date picker were labeled "Today." Different screens tell me I went to bed at different times for the same night. The silliest bug though is a line chart showing my "readiness" score. The chart shows my most recent score as below average, but the text congratulates me on being above average. If this company can't even figure out which way their inequalities are pointing, why would I trust them with a more complex task like analyzing my sleep? I tried writing support, but they gave a canned "try reinstalling" reply. It might work, but since the install is only a week old, it's pretty bad if it does. My guess, though, is they're just trying to put up a hurdle before spending any time investigating, a hallmark of lower-tier software companies. Wish this thing were better, it sure seems like a promising idea!

Stop the updates. I purchased this when it first came out and loved it. The first update created battery issues so they replaced it for me. Then another update created connectivity problems, again they replaced it for me. Now the last update has the battery lasting less than 2 days, and the sleep as well as activity measurements are no longer accurate. I find it reading that I’m asleep when I’m lying down reading, or stating that no calories were burned while I’m walking. After reading all the issues with newer generations and the required subscription for getting all the information I don’t even think it’s worth getting a new one. I’m really disappointed in the direction they have pushed this product. I realize more data tracked means you are getting better quality health information but if it isn’t all working as it should be, don’t release it. It’s really frustrating that it’s no longer useful.

Inaccurate sleep/awake readings. I purchased the Oura Ring strictly to collect accurate sleep data. Exactly how much sleep do I get each night? I will typically wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep. Or I will wake up very early and not be able to fall asleep for the remainder of the night. After three weeks of usage, I’ve determined that the Oura ring cannot accurately detect when I am actually asleep and when I am awake. If I’m lying awake in bed from 2-4am the ring will say I fell back into REM sleep or light sleep. There is no way to manually change this reading. If I wake up early but do not get out of bed the ring will think I’m still sleeping. At least the app will allow me to manually change my morning wake up time. Why not allow us to make manual changes to the middle of the night data? Better yet, improve the accuracy of the readings so that it can actually tell the difference between awake and sleep. It’s still a helpful tool, but it falls short of my expectations. . . Waiting for some more improvements.

I depend on this ring. I have owned my Oura ring for about a year now. The information it gives and reads as it analysis your sleep is incredible. Recently my husband got Covid and exposed my daughter to it. For 4 days I was fine showing no symptoms of having the virus. On the 5th day, my readings from Oura started to show that my temperature was elevated and my HRV balance was off as well as my resting heart rate was up. It continued to show negative reads, and on the 7th day I got tested and was positive. I told the doctor that my ring as well as the obvious of feeling horrible on that 5th day that prompted me to go get tested. The doctor said my heart rate was elevated because it’s working hard because my body is fighting the virus, and I told her yes I know because my ring alerted me. This ring could actually save your life!

Battery Life - UPDATE. UPDATE - World Class Response - Oura responded with full replacement within 48 hours. A great product which I depend upon and a company that went above and beyond. The world needs more companies like Oura! BATTERY PROBLEM!!! I am a fan and the ring has changed and improved my life, sleep specifically. I have used the ring for two years. It has worked perfectly until the most recently. I have contacted Oura about the loss of battery life which occurred suddenly - prior to the 1/24 firmware update the battery lasted several days at a time, since the update it dies in under 6 or 7 hours. Won’t hold data overnight. I contacted Oura and wrote that the ring is two years old and battery life crashed after firmware update - they wrote back that the ring has a battery issue and a warranty team member will contact me, presumably to tell me what I told them - I purchased the ring two years ago and so sorry! Stay tuned,,, well I am astonished that my ring is being replaced! Kudos Oura!

Not worth it for athletes. I had high hopes, but it has become more a part of my wardrobe than my training. You could definitely find a cheaper ring with the same looks. Due to its lack of customization, I’m not sure it has a use. As someone that does moderate intensity cardio for at least 7-10 hours a week, strength training for 7-10 hours/week, and about 3 hours a week of cardio, I require very specific customization. The system sometimes tells me I need to lay low and burn only 250 calories on a day where I have a 20 mile run planned, which I’ve trained and slept and eaten to be ready for. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours, which the system thinks is abhorrently low. Yet if I get the amount of sleep it recommends, I feel groggy and crappy and it effects my training, meditation and stress levels. When/if they begin to allow for customizable settings, this could be really cool. Until then it’s more templatized than the US public school system, ie not very useful.

Could be better. There are things I love about this app like monitoring my hrv and how many hrs of sleep I’m getting. That is how many hrs I’m getting at night. I frequently take naps during the day they are very much needed for me to feel 100%. Unfortunately the app only tracks maybe 1 of 3 or 4 naps. I’ve had the ring for almost a year now so I think I have a good idea of what it can do. I frequently look at this data to help gage my physical health especially dealing with a chronic pain condition knowing where I’m at helps. As a female it’s important to know our cycles and temperatures which the app sort of tracks. Basically you get your estimated start day and can track day one but no other data can be collected for that week, so it’s not accurate for tracking also it only gives a warmer or cooler temperature gage while sleeping but not your actual temperature. The ring battery life is now only a couple days. I put mine on airplane mode at night so I get a bit more time per charge. I would have to say I liked the gen 3 ring way better back in February, march & april of 2022. Now it’s trying to collect too much data which would be fine if the data it collected was full data not just a hodgepodge of bits and pieces.

So beneficial. It’s so cool you can get a accurate measure of your sleep and activity

Improve You!. Oura has changed my life. I was experimenting with HRV prior to buying the ring, then it took me to another level. And it keeps on getting better. For a female with menstrual cycles, Oura has taught me more than anyone on earth. This has helped my monthly routine, understand my mood and is spot on when the dreadful comes. Thinking with the expense, I will forgo paying for the app when I’m definitely in menopause, but then they add another feature. It keeps getting better! Now with the stressed to restored feature during the day, I am wondering when I charge the ring now … I don't want to lose a second!!!

Monthly Subscription Fee. Without the monthly subscription fee this ring is entirely useless. It won’t let you view any historical data, only the current day scores with no detail behind them. Considering the upfront price of the ring, to need to pay a subscription to even view yesterdays sleep score is unjustifiable.

Feature as a request to improve versatility of the one ring to rule one’s health.. Why can’t we input the amount of calories to burnt each day as a goal personally? Why only max at 550? Why not higher?? It would be a good motivator if we can adjust the amount of calories to burn to “level up” instead of being restricted just only “550” max… why???? 🧐

Stay away from ōura ring. When the ring was working, I was loving the Ōura ring snd the app. Few months back, the ring stopped working. I contacted the support. Originally, it took them about a week to get back with their responses. All messages suggested the same remedy, not fixing the issue at all. Once I asked them to send me an address to mail the faulty ring back, they started ghosting me. I created a new ticket. It has been ghosted for about 3wks. Now, I own expensive an expensive piece of a jewellery. Be careful guys, I truly can’t recommend Ōura ring!

Data outliers. I’ve had oura for over a year now, and it is great for getting sleep results while also looking good. However the one thing that I believe could be fixed are outliers in the heart rate monitoring. Quite often I will finish a workout and the ring will measure my heart rate at 40 to 50 bpm before shooting up to 100 and staying there until I recover. There should be an algorithm as to if there are massive outliers like that they should be removed as it ruins the average heart rate graph.

Reece. The main thing is now my attention is on the quality of sleep I’m getting on a daily basis.

The best health app around. I’ve been using Oura since feb 2019 and it has changed my life!! The best detailed insights into your life, sleep, activity and health.

THE best health investment ever!. The single best investment I’ve made in my health. If you can track it, you can change it - and that’s exactly what Oura has allowed me to do. I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder (idiopathic hypersomnia- a version of narcolepsy) - I had had a turbulent relationship with sleep all my life. My Oura ring has me sleeping now like an Olympian! I owe so much of my newfound vitality to Oura - you folks are life savers!!!

Great app for the ring.. Really does well at recording your changes in sleep patterns so you can adjust what you do to obtain optimum sleep. The tips are great. Nice to see expansion to other countries of doctors who can help with understanding the results and trends. Love to see an added overnight oximeter meter you can buy as an extra that is tied into the app. It needs a notes section so you can record how you feel, what you ate, drank or supplements or prescription drugs etc you took to help determine what works and doesn’t to get your best sleep.

Appalling Customer Service. Whilst the product itself is without doubt excellent the customer service is the worst I have experienced in many years. I needed to do a return/ exchange, the details being clearly explained on the website BUT after that it is a fraud. Nothing happens as described and 6 WEEKS after starting the process ( and several other attempts) still no response except the initial autogenerated “ we are very busy but will be in contact within 7 days”. So now my 30 day window for exchange/ return has expired!!! Simply unacceptable

App crashing. This product is rendered useless by an App that keeps crashing. This happened a month ago and it took about 2 weeks for developer to fix it. It has now recurred and current the ring is useless

Great when it works but good luck getting support. Great product and data when it works. Can really assist with informing health decisions especially related to sleep. My ring has been playing up and their support and service is a nightmare. You can check similar stories on Trustpilot. Beware

Expensive monthly fee.. Great app, but once you have your ring for 6 months there the monthly fee is too much for what it is. Buying an Apple Watch now :) no monthly charges that way.

Great tool. I love the insights the ring provides. The latest update even tracks your naps and adds them to your overall total sleep duration, now that’s a game changer!

Strategically confused. Had several functional issues with the Oura app when I first started using it, but the design was so good I just got over it. But recently (May 2020) it feels like someone decided on a strategy change, can almost hear their conversation “we need to expand our market beyond sleep and into fitness tracking”. Well, you should have made two different apps (my opinion). You’ve only succeeded in ruining what was a reasonably good sleep-focused app, while simultaneously making a very confusing fitness-focused app.

Aaron. The oura ring has been fantastic so far I’ve had it for three months and it has helped improve my sleep and helped me track my progress during the day.I would certainly recommend getting one

best self investment!. Amazing app and ring - gives specific health data that is great for everyday life. Would love to see in a near future update either a sleep scores widget for iPhone and the ability to ask Siri questions relating to the ring. For example; - “hey Siri, what was my sleep score last night?” Or “hey Siri, what is my current activity progress?” Amazing ring and excited for the future for Oura

New app design awful. Overall I like the ring and I used to love the app but the latest update changed the layout and it’s awful and chunky. I have to scroll more to see my data and it makes zero sense why they’d do this.

Very Glitchy.... but amazing when it works !. > After 4 weeks of ownership , Blue tooth keeps dropping out. So frustrating. > hard Reset function is weird. Involves tapping charger on table several times with no precise Indicator of outcome - thought it was a joke when I first saw the trouble shoot video > Customer service responses very very slow. You will need patience. I asked for refund out if frustration and also suggested I was willing to try a replacement. Got a reply on refund but no response to suggestion of replacement??? > Shame is / while I had it working the sleep and readiness data is really great . I was learning so much about how sleep was determining my energy and feeling of well being

Great features. I’ve had my ring for about 4 months now and it’s great for tracking sleep. I especially like that the ring effectively tracks HRV. My only criticism at the moment is the lack of activity options for tracking activity. Add martial arts, wrestling BJJ please! Love the new moments function though - very interesting data from that.

Add activities retrospectively. Major flaw in programming is not being able to add activities retrospectively. This needs to be fixed asap as I am a busy woman and will only ever use this app at my own convenience. You are currently limiting valuable data collection. Please explain to me why this issue hasn’t been solved yet and the timeframe it will take to be resolved? Thanks 🌟

Ben. Latest update REDUCES functionality of the app. You used to (last week) be able to easy look at your long term trends for various parameters. Not anymore. The app has been dumbed down which seems absurd given the typical purchaser of an Oura ring will want more data not less.

App won’t connect to my ring, support non responsive. I’ve had a ring for a number of months. Suddenly the ring no longer connects despite my desperate attempts to try all the online support suggestions. I’ve contacted support but they’re completely unresponsive. My ring is now useless.

The only wearable worth it.. Sleep is now the single most important thing that experts are honing in on to improve wellness. Oura gives me all the data I need daily to keep on top of my game and switch things up or down if I need to. Amazing product and amazing data.

I love it. An investment in health and wellness, I think it has added years to my life and so much better quality to my time now. I use it every day

Actionable insight and high quality. We got the Stealth model, and have been using it for 2 years nearly. Really good support from Oura, and they keep adding new insights. This is such a helpful tool for sleep and general well-being.

Please fix the battery drain issue. I love this product but this app has been using a lot of my battery life in the background ever since updating to the latest firmware. Wondering if it’s a software bug. Please help.

Good & Not so good. I like the ring because it gives me an insight into my sleep patterns and other metrics. What it doesn’t do that I would like it to do is actually record anytime I go to bed and sleep, not just when it thinks I am sleeping or should be sleeping! Also I have gotten a weird recording once in a while that made no sense to me at all ... the clock recorded sleep made no sense. th

The best health tracker. Absolutely love my Oura Ring and after only wearing it for just a few weeks I’ve already become more aware and more conscious of my health. It’s by far the best sleep tracker.

Buggy app with monthly subscription. Updated app no longer works on iPhone SE. Won’t connect to ring and crashes constantly. Clearly, despite what the app store says, older phones are no longer supported. Considering that the app has a monthly subscription cost now, it’s very worrisome that they’re not ensuring support across all devices. That means that on top of the monthly subscription cost, you also have to be regularly buying a new phone regularly in order to actually get any use out of the expensive ring that you purchased.

Extremely helpful. Every bit as useful as using a watch to tell the time.

The best. I have used a number of trackers over many years and recently purchased my Oura ring. It is fantastic. It provides great insights for sleep and activity. It is the best tracker by a mile. I love it!

Great customer service. I had a slight issue with my delivery (was an external issue with postal delays) and they responded to my email the next day! It makes me feel good knowing any issues I have will be responded to so promptly by their customer service team Really appreciate it guys, thanks Sophie

Battery terrible. I love my Oura ring but whereas I used to get a few days out of one charge I am now regularly missing data as my ring is running out of battery in 24 hours. Really frustrating because it affects all of my weekly stats.

What gets measured..... This app is tracking and commenting on many of my foibles. It’s not easy but as it families important health actions I can see it having a profound positive impact in my health. I would order another one tomorrow if I lost mine without a second thought.

Life saver. This device and app saved my life. Please don't ever discontinue this amazing product or downgrade it's functionality in any way. I will always keep using this forever! Thank you

Terrible App. This has to be the worst app ever. Paid so much for this ring and then foolishly upgraded to the new version of the ring and the app is full of bugs. Keeps crashing every week or two and forces you to delete the app and reinstall. So frustrating that this can’t be fixed.

Awesome app but it is not warning me about low battery after last update. The Oura app it is awesome, simple to use, hreat information, well organised. The only issue is after the last app update I am not receiving low battery warning anymore. Apart from that, it is great.

Average. I’ve had an oura ring for 8 months now. The amount of activities it detects when I’m driving my car or washing up ‘ workout detected , strength training ‘ for example. It’s totally off with any activity. Sleep stats seem ok, but I’m asleep , so how good are they if the activity stats are so off.

Great app, needs better widgets. Love the ring. For improvements, I would love to see the full swag of widgets, particularly to see my scores across the three major areas, trends, etc. right now there are only widgets relating to sleep

Need to address a flaw in activity recording. The Oura Ring provides powerful data to support you in managing your health... however IMHO there is a serious flaw in the app that means you cannot add activity for the previous day. Yes, you should remember to add activities after completing them — but if you should forget, you cannot add them retrospectively. That limits the quality and accuracy of your data — which is basically the entire point of the Oura Ring. That flaw is worse for strength training (given that you need to remove the ring before training to avoid damage in gripping bars or weights). Hopefully the developers address that issue soon. Otherwise, it is great and would be 5/5.

Unreliable information. I found the ring to be very unreliable and inconsistent with its ability to read information. Oura ring customer support were useless they just kept telling me my ring was either too big or I was having a iregular heartbeat which is not a case. I’m back on my Garman now on and my iregular heartbeat and inconsistent readings have totally vanished. Please check the Google reviews for this product before you jump into It based on the review of their app.

Put the positive back into the interface. The latest update has replaced the very elegant and visually consistent + shortcut icon on the app with a god-awful ring thing that looks like a 1990s Clippy from Microsoft and a yellow bubble of options that looks like a post-it note. Please fire the person responsible for this travesty and put the old shortcut symbol back.

Isn’t tracking my naps. I love what this ring can do, but since you guys came out claiming it can track naps, I have had quite a few and it isn’t recording it. Also, the nights I cannot fall asleep till after midnight (while I’m lying in bed), the ring has said I have either gone into light sleep (while I’m staring at the ceiling), or a short deep sleep at some point when I unequivocally know I’m not asleep? Otherwise would have given it a five star.

Overall A Poor Health Gimmick. I cannot tell you how bad the customer service is for the Oura Ring. It’s the worse I have ever seen of any product I have ever used. Full stop. An example is I asked to return the ring on 1 February 2022 after having it for less than three months for a birthday present. This was after multiple issues and weeks later trying to change my original order. But Oura did not get back to me about my original query for a return until 19 May 2022!!!

Can’t update - otherwise excellent. Excellent - just tells me an update is available and gets to 15% and drops. I’ve tried reconnecting etc. a bit frustrating. Would also be good to have normative data to compare and access to some research using Oura.

iPad version. I only own a work phone and I dislike the idea of having personal information and data on that device. I would love to have a iPad version of the app.

Not a great deal of use really. At first it’s a bit exciting to track your numbers. But it gets pretty uninteresting pretty quickly. Active calorie burn goal is pointless. For example the active calorie burn gives the same goal every day of 400. Consistently I triple this number so it seems pointless and meaningless. It tells me to get ready for bed at 5pm and that’s unhelpful. The readiness score is not a reflection to how ready you really feel. Oura tells me to take it easy and gives a low readiness score, but I’m ready and eager to go hard, again another measure that seems way too generic and has no reflection on reality. I feel there is a lot more Oura could do to make the ring and app less generic, more useful and more meaningful.

Expensive product with an added pink tax. The Oura ring and its monthly subscription fees are quite costly. Unfortunately, for women who want to track their cycle, the Oura unfairly withholds temperature data and requires an additional subscription for another app. It's frustrating to pay so much for a product that already collects the necessary information, only to be forced to pay more for access to that data. If it were men needing that reading I’m sure it would be available on the app for free.

1 year in and totally in love!. I googled ‘Oura ring careers’ because I am so obsessed with this product!

Terrible “upgrade” & customer service. At first I was in love with the ring. I upgraded to the new version and it’s full of bugs. No response from customer service. I had cancelled my Whoop order but will be returning this and switching to the Whoop band.

On the fence. It does not record my rest periods even naps unless I am using a meditation on the app the readiness score is not relevant. Some of the meditation type activities are not relaxing ie. fast beat or metronome. Sleep data is interesting however the difference between the old values and beta values is considerable which makes one wonder how reliable the beta scores .

Love my new ring. Splurged on myself and loving my new ring. I am wondering though if it’s possible to make the widget show my daily activity, not my sleep pattern….developers?

Transformational. The ring is transformational. The app is quite nice. I love the dark mode. No distractions. My sleep has been so much better as well as my productivity during the day. The ring helped me prioritize sleep over any distractions in the evening. The app helps understand, keep track, and motivates me to keep improving.

Account was successfully created with a membership plan, then error on Unable to verify account.. Just got the ring and went on the app to set up, followed the prompt and created the account with membership plan. And was told to return to the Oura App to personalize. After pressing continue on the app, it said “We were unable to verify your account. Please complete the instructions in the Account Setup email. If you didn't receive this email, check your spam folder or resend below.” so I went on resend the email and did the process again, same thing happened. Them I chose continue, I went back to the original screen. I repeated this process 3 times and it is frustrating. So I went on to contact for support. There is no phone number to call, there is a bot to create a ticket for me and told to be expected a reply within 48 hours. Not a great way to start.

App is too glitchy. I wouldn’t recommend buying this ring. I loved it at first, however I’m about 9 months in and find the app itself is too glitchy. I have notifications on but I am almost never notified to charge my ring so my sleep data is often missed. There are many gaps in my data even though I wear my ring on the suggested finger and it fits well. Too many issues for the price and what they promote. Think there are better alternatives.

Need help. I love my ring and think it is the best wearable. However, the app is currently crashing on opening

Constant Issues Updating. App updating freezes every single time and leaves an open notification on my phone. This is the only app that does this.

Junk. Most of the features don’t work on this thing would definitely not waste any money on one again

Fantastic. Great app and spending 7$ a month is better then the whoop strap monthly payment $40 a month. I feel it should stay cheap otherwise makes no sense to pay to much more. Support is very helpful

Fantastic. I feel that I have a medical team 24/7 with me, working in the background, without me ever noticing them. I have a very stressful work, it affects my daily life, sleep and performance. This little ring is helping me cope. I do have the monthly subscription, and I gladly pay it so the Oura team can keep on developing product that is directly supporting me. I am a data driven person, so all the parameters that are being tracked, I appreciate.

Love this device!. The information the ring provides about me, my sleep, my activity, my biometrics. is spot on. Insightful. Helpful! Appreciate how it syncs with Health. If you’re looking to improve your quality of life, this little gem is very helpful!

Faulty Product. I started having battery and syncing issues due to a faulty manufactured product and Oura will do nothing about it! I literally have to coinflip on whether or not my sleep gets tracked, its so frustrating!! This is seriously the worst customer service I've had for the amount of money I've paid for this product. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Need a subscription for any data. It’s unfortunate that a subscription is required for any useful data. The only time I see a score is if I wear it while sleeping. Which is of no use. After my free one year ended, I’ve tried to come back for a month to try new features. I really hoped they could give at least half of the data for free because this ring just sits in a charger now. I’m very disappointed spending money on this. We have too many subscriptions these days and now with pricing fees going up, another reason to not use this too.

The one thing…. I love my Oura ring. The ONE thing you guys need to do is let us Record Workout HR with various types of exercises. Eg. Functional strength training, step master, etc.

App has removed features. Recent update to the app has removed features that were included when I purchased the ring. Guided meditations that were included at purchase have been removed and placed behind a subscription paywall. This was not advertised at purchase and is shady to say the least. I have been an avid user of my Oura, but I don’t plan to upgrade to Gen 3 based on their bad business practices.

Barely functions for period tracking. Not user friendly and difficult to make any changes. When you do figure out how delete period starts, they don’t even work….

Terrible widgets. I don’t know why I have to open the app every time to see the updates. The widgets are useless.

Airplane mode. Love it but the app needs work! It’s impossible to turn off the airplane mode without resetting the ring on the charger. That needs to be fixed!!

Poor customer service. The customer service is very bad. The ring is okay. If you are lucky and don’t need to contact customer service all will likely be fine but don’t bank on support from the company. This was the second ring purchased but it will be my last. I will likely switch to another bio tracking device like an Apple Watch.

Expensive. Expensive! And try to become a member in fact that option should be app activated. Payed membership this is causing a low sleeping score.

Be wary.... All of the screenshots shown are with a paid subscription (after a free trial). After the trial, the app (essentially the ring) is stripped of nearly all functionality. All you get are a basic readiness score, a sleep score and an activity score and a few meditations to listen to. So you pay around $300 for a ring with certain functions and then they are stripped away unless you pay $80/year. So so incredibly disappointed. Won't be recommending this to anyone

Oura ring is amazing. I love my ring and the insight it provides. I would recommend to anyone looking to monitor sleep, activity and recovery to optimize your energy. I’ve used my gen 3 for 2 years now and learned so much about behaviours that can help improve how I feel. I started testing new products and used the Oura ring to gauge if they work. I started a sleep supplement regime and Oura showed me how it has improved my REM and Deep sleep amount, so I am sticking to it. I found out a very specific Starbucks drink will destroy a good night sleep. I’ve optimized when I drink caffeinated drinks so I can still enjoy them and sleep well. My next challenge is to up my meditation to see how I can relax more throughout the day without effecting my sleep. I am pumped for the stress feature that is launching today. Areas of improvement. The cycle section is amazing for those who want to manage birth control. But….. not built to support women in perimenopause….. which is sad, because I feel like they could really be a game changer with some added features to accommodate. Also the battery life is really slipping as I approach the 2nd anniversary of the ring. I wish they had better technology so I didn’t have to consider buying another after only 2 years. Reminds me of the iPhone battery life. If you know, going in, that it is not a long term piece of technology, then maybe it won’t be as disappointing when you are charging 2 times a day and need to invest again. Otherwise…..I really love this piece of technology.

Disappointed. No useful sleep data.. It is sad to see how Oura first changes you the full price for the ring, which is over 350USD including customs fees and then give you little to none sleep metric in the app unless you pay monthly subscription. Not even basic sleep metrics. I understand the desire to monetize some enhanced data analysis, but oura gives you no useful data at all for these 350$.. Disappointing.

Cannot connect to my ring. Very bad connection, I cannot connect to my ring

The product is good but I wouldn’t recommend it. Because it’s a one-time purchase, the company doesn’t seem motivated to help if something goes wrong as they already have your money. I learned this yesterday when my charger broke. I’d recommend going with a different product with adequate customer service and support.

Heading in the wrong direction…. Promising company that has seemingly fallen off a cliff after raising seed money. No support from in the app, or outside of it. Seems to be chasing money now rather than building a community / good product anymore. Sad to see this happen to Oura who was one of the good ones before their botched launch of the Gen 3.

Fix the app please, cannot open since the last update. Have latest iOS, latest app version on iPhone 14 - app doesn’t open, just crashes. Please fix!

Ring won’t connect. My ring won’t connect to my new phone. There is absolutely no explanation or message for troubleshooting. It only says ‘try again later’. SMH.

Give them money. Otherwise the app is effectively useless. Gen 2 was better.

Background Location Tracking 😒. I like the Ring and I like the app, but I don’t like that the app continues tracking my location when I have it minimized. Each time I open the app I need to remember to fully close it when I am done, otherwise it keeps tracking my location (blue badge in top left of iPhone screen). A bit annoying. Please turn this functionality off unless I am actively recording an outdoor workout.

This ring is for healthy people only. I find this ring a waste of money. I have identified & unidentified endocrine issues which means I cannot use the ring for following my exercise routine because it’s not physically possible for me. I also suffer from low melatonin due to low MSH levels. This ring is typically wrong about my readiness & sleep data scores. We rarely agree on my readiness score, I’m still waiting to feel ready for anything lol. And now that this new sleep data has been added it’s even more ridiculous because the new & the old data (which you can toggle between) give completely different information on the same night. Which sleep data do you listen too & why would they be so different? If you’re unable to get into fitness and/or suffer from autoimmune disorders this is not for you.

Nonexistent customer service….and faulty product!. Numerous issues with the ring and app. Emails sent to customer support result in an auto generated reply of “we are overwhelmed by customer service requests and will responds as soon as we can”. At the date of writing this review ,it’s been three weeks since I sent the last request in. Hearing of returned rings not issuing refunds. Ours does not allow feedback or commenting on their social media sites. I’d highly recommend not buying one if you’re considering it.

Problems after 4 months. Received in August 2022 last week something changed and now it doesn’t hold its charge. Firmware update did not fix the problem

IPhone 14 pro - no go. Was hoping the update would fix this, but nope! App does not work on iPhone 14. Pro. It's been nearly a month with no function now. This app crashes repeatedly on new iphone 14 pro. Have reinstalled several times, works for a day or two, then won't open until reinstalled.

Take data with a grain of salt. Has provided some helpful data but also drove me nuts for several months until I gave up on trusting it’s sleep stage data. It has been telling me I get almost no REM sleep for the past several months (had the ring since January and REM has been on steady decline). This drove me absolutely nuts trying different supplements, adjusting sleep hygiene, literally anything that might help. I even went to the doctor and got referred to a sleep clinic that hooked me up to a bunch of gear then told me I have no issues. After reading Dr Walkers “Why We Sleep” he put my concerns to rest in that these devices are not yet accurate in determining ones sleep stages. The frustrating point is that Oura really caused a lot of anxiety and concern around my lack of REM. My Fitbit charge 3 gives consistently more accurate readings of sleep stages based on how I feel in the mornings when not relying on these gadgets to tell me how rested I am. I initially raved about the oura ring but now give friends an honest review and typically don’t recommend.

App crashing. Since updating to iOS16 my app has been crashing and I can’t even open it. What’s the point of paying a monthly subscription if I can’t use the app?

Oura can’t fix basic syncing issues. Oura has a known syncing problem with Apple Watch workouts where calories burned are missed calculated, or not taken into account at all in the app. It renders the rest of the Oura app completely useless, as the other scores are all thrown off by the incorrect activity score. This bug makes the Oura ring a really expensive piece of useless plastic.

No support. No ring.. Spent over 4OO$ CAD . Waited 3 weeks. No ring. Sent multiple letters for support and to assist with tracking. No response. Absolutely horrendous support and can’t rate the ring cause I never got it. Would not recommend.

Love the ring/info … BUT …. I’ve had the ring (actually on my second one) for a little over two years now - simply love it! My issue is the battery life of the ring. After the first year - battery was defective - Oura replaced the ring. After the second year - the second ring - battery is defective again - Oura won’t replace the ring - past the warranty date … uhm … I guess I’ll pass on purchasing another ring.

Latest version lost my sleep data. I just downloaded the latest version and noticed all my sleep and heart rate data before May has disappeared! Pls fix ASAP.

Battery issues Gen 2 ring. The features are fine and yes it seems to give me low REM sleep alot of the time. But the real issue is the battery , i bought 2 rings and one gave out after not even 1 year(luckily under guarantee) and the other is giving out after not even 3 years. I hope the gen3 rings have better batteries cause they cant be changed!

I am hooked!. I have been using my Oura ring for almost 3 years now and I am hooked! This is the first thing I look at every day. I have been blown away by its accuracy as well. It is technically not supposed to be as accurate as the measurements in a lab which makes sense. However, I have had the unfortunate privilege of really testing it and verifying it by being woken up by my little children several times per night for the past 3 years. It is amazing that the Oura ring knows when I am awake and what kind of sleep I was having prior to that. For example, one can feel when they are woken up from deep sleep vs. light sleep vs. REM sleep and incredibly Oura ring accurately picks up all the sleep stages. I also have a Garmin watch as well as a mattress which also track my sleep and my Oura ring is by far most accurate. The coolest thing the Oura ring has done for me was “predict” that I was pregnant with my second child before the pregnancy test showed it. Oura does not claim they are able to do that. I do not think they have done enough testing to be able to make that claim. However, my morning temperature showed a pattern that coincided very clearly with early stages of pregnancy. Oura ring has also picked up on illnesses and overtraining periods when our training has been particularly intense. I love Oura ring so much that I have also gotten Oura rings for my husband and my mother.

Terrible support. I’ve been having issues with my ring connecting to my phone, especially anytime there is an update. I try a bunch of things every morning but it doesn’t seem to work for 2-3 weeks. Anytime I try to get support, they send me the same automated message of things to try, that don’t work. When I reply saying that it still doesn’t work, they tell me that on their end my ring seems fine. I’ve had days or night of no data even though I wear my ring (and I obsess about making sure the sensors are in the right spot). Again, the support just says that my ring is fine. I’ve asked for a replacement because I know people who’s rings work well but they just make it seem like I am the problem. If you get a ring and it works, it’s a decent product but if you get a lemon, don’t expect any help or valid support. I’m disappointed and would recommend an other company that cares about their customers.

App crashes on iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16.2. Tried to reinstall, restart the phone but nothing. At most I can reach the log part ….

While the ring is good. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!The forced membership after the trial period of six months is too much money for the value offered. I’ve spent $400cad now for a useless piece of plastic. Yes there are the three scores everyday, but only in the day of not the day before and with no background so that info is completely useless. if I had known that I wouldn’t be getting any information after the trial membership was over and be forced to spend more than I can afford on a yet another monthly subscription membership I never would’ve bought this ring I would’ve gone for the Apple Watch instead. so don’t waste your money like I said it just turns into a useless piece of plastic without the forced membership…boo

Crashes on iPhone 14 pro. App crashes and won’t start on iPhone 14 pro. Please fix!

Can’t really tell if you are asleep.. My results frequently show times I was awake in the early portion of the night when I have no recollection of being awake. In the later portion of sleep closer to morning I will wake up multiple times, have multiple recollections of seeing the clock recall the times and even have spoken with my bed partner and it thinks I’m asleep. It is good at showing the effect of alcohol on resting heart rate.

Don’t waste your money. Battery died in less than a year. Support is doing nothing and doesn’t care. Complete waste of money. Don’t buy this product.

New lower density view is a step back. I don’t normally write app reviews, but I’m doing so in hopes the developers will see this and make appropriate changes. I love my Oura and have for years, but the new lower density UI of the app is swollen and clunky without offering any new information. I much prefer the more condensed view of contributor information on the readiness, sleep, and activity tabs on previous versions of the app. This new lower density view is a step back from previous versions. Maybe some said the text size needed to be larger, but at the very least offer a choice for a smaller and more condensed view (the same as it was before). This new UI makes it impossible to see all contributor data on the screen at once. Please bring back the condensed view!

Defective battery with 2 year life. A bunch of friends and I bought the Oura ring at the same time. Most have had a battery fail at a bit over two years. It wasn’t clear until the warranty expired and even though they acknowledge the battery is defective they have only replaced one persons ring at no charge. I’m sorry, but if you’re using parts which you subsequently learn are defective, shouldn’t you replace all of those defective rings? Buyer beware, this company does not stand behind their product. Buy something else. So, you lose data because what looked like enough charge was not. And, your screen is taken over by constant reminders to buy the new ring. You can’t dismiss it once you’ve read it the first time or the hundredth. I get we all want latest tech but in an effort to dial back consumption and to maybe support climate change efforts, couldn’t they do a better job than this? My two cents.

Spotty app when trying to troubleshoot ring problems. When the ring is working, the app is fine, but there is no reset and troubleshooting mechanism other than contacting customer support, which takes weeks to communicate with to solve problems. I went through 5 levels of customer support trying to reset a defective 3rd gen ring, and you have to unpair the ring from the app and start over, but since the ring doesn’t work, I can’t return to my data, it’s stuck in setup mode. No option in the app to cancel the setup and get back to my old data. I’m on week 3 of troubleshooting a return and the service division said they’ll forward me to another division and then went dark. I never had trouble with the 2nd gen ring, but the 3rd gen one has been trouble.

Can’t log in...waiting for support 6d & counting. This app worked great for me for several years. I lost the ability to log in a week ago (Dec27). It won’t even open to a login splash screen. Have been waiting for a reply from Support since then. The ring is great. Company processes are not for fulfillment or support. At this point, my ring is nothing more than a ring. Update Jan 2, 2020 - Hey developers, thanks for making a ridiculously obvious suggestion because that’s just what I needed to hear after waiting (now) 7d and counting. Duh. I’ve done that several times per day while I wait for contact from Support. It doesn’t work. Meanwhile, you’re wasting valuable time addressing well-earned criticisms here in reviews rather then focusing on providing actual support or doing dev — because reviews are visible to potential users. And you’re experiencing high support volumes because your app IS NOT working and hasn’t been for at least a week, rendering the ring useless until it once again does.

Outstanding Life Tracker. The Oura ring really surpassed my expectations. I thought at most, that it would be a solid tracker that could you some enhancements to be great. It was great right out of the box, and it performs sleep and step tracking really well. I honestly think the Sleep tracking is the best of the two because it is so incredible, but the activity tracker is very strong and surpasses the performance of health trackers I’ve used in the past. It is well maintained with software updates when necessary, plus the user interface is very detailed yet easy to use and navigate. The ring itself has a strong build and is comfortable. I’m an active person and haven’t had any issues with it. I do take it off when I lift weights or do push-ups/rowing, but that is just me being pre-cautious and not a reflection of the ring’s build. Battery life is strong about 36-48 hours before a recharge by my estimation, and the charge time is quick. I’ve found customer service to be top notch from the Oura team, and I’m a very happy customer. While isn’t cheap, the Oura ring is a great value that I think most people will be very pleased with.

No service. I purchased a Oura ring in September shortly before the Gen 3 version was announced. When the announcement was made about getting to exchange recently purchased Gen2, I tried to order but never got confirmation. Then a few days later, I received the offer to exchange and get free lifetime membership so I ordered again. I just received the sizing kit and was entering my size when I noticed 2 orders. I have been trying to get help to make sure I only get one of the Gen 3. I returned the Gen 2 ring (received by the company Nov 16) and submitted the size needed before that date. I am not getting any helpful replies, just automatically generated messages saying they’re busy and will be in touch. I really liked the ring I had for the time I had it, but this experience has made me question the reliability of this company.

Truly a GREAT sleep monitor with Science!. WOW! Been using my Oura ring for 2 months now. This tiny thing is amazing. I was very skeptical at first because I have tried multiple different sleep monitors out there. This one really is the best. I am a Hospital Physcian who is “bio hacking” myself to slow / reverse aging. Sleep is the elusive 4th part of it (along with exercise, eating and mind). This tiny ring is comfortable and packed with amazing sensors and tech. It not only accurately measures sleep time but also the phases of sleep. It is honestly better than many sleep reports I see at professional sleep labs. FYI, I see a lot of patients with sleep apnea and they get sent for sleep studies all the time. However, the true key and benefit I am getting from my own sleep data is not only the quality of sleep, but the Heart Rate Variability. It really is a predictive measure to gage my body and mind. It helps me be more in tune with myself and is predictive of the following few days if I do not take care of myself. Absolutely recommend this to everyone who is wanting to improve the quality of their life. HOWEVER, you want to improve yourselves AND be in tune with your own body to bet full benefits.

What a Mess. Putting the company’s history aside, I’ll focus on the app. Painful is the only word I can use. When it works, it works well. When it decides it’s not going to work any more, it’s a colossal pain to get things fixed. Symptoms: Tap on the app to open, and it immediately exits (I presume it’s crashing…as not even a splash screen shows.). The only recourse at this point is to remove the app and then reinstall. Then it’s necessary to enter your email address again, then log in, and then PRAY that the app will find the ring that’s been working for months…notwithstanding the last time it forced you to go through this process. Then, once it finds the ring it leads you through a series of questions for which it should already have answers. (It knows the ring’s serial number, and knows it’s registered to you—why is it necessary to go through the list of questions again?!) The comes the synchronization. It usually works, but not always. The symptom of “not always” is akin to the spinning beach ball on a mac, or rotating circles in Windows. All you can do is wait…and wait…and then…nothing. Sadly, this is not a rare occurrence. I’ve had this happen five times this year—across two different iPhones. I do not have problems with other apps. Having to go through this nonsense, particularly when it ties to poor error handling within their app, is nuts.

Good with a couple nitpicks. The app itself is great, and my favorite part is that it starts syncing as soon as the app opens and shows the progress bar. This is way better than my old fitbit charge 5 which seemed to wait forever and sync the data whenever it felt like it which was really annoying. The ring itself has been great with only a couple things I want in the next version to improve the experience… For Oura Ring 4 I would love if the sensor bumps were smaller and all around the ring because I don’t like having to check throughout the day to make sure the ring hasn’t spun at all, since it has to be facing a certain direction for accurate heart rate readings. This is especially true when I wash my hands and the ring gets slippery, and it has created a habit of checking on it that I don’t like. The other nitpick is how beefy the ring is. This is the most minor thing but I would love if it could be a little thinner. Mainly though if I didn’t need to worry about the ring orientation it would free my attention up here and there throughout the day and take it from good to great imo.

Useless app. I have had an Oura Ring since 2021 and loved all of the information available to me. After 2 1/2 years it finally died and well past any warranty so I ordered a new Gen 3 Ring. Now that my month is up I can’t get any of the information I used to be able to access with My Gen 2 Ring without paying for a subscription. When it came, I thought they were referring to all the fancy extra tracking (that I wouldn’t use) that would be a trial for a month. Not so, only 3 basic items that are less than what you get in a Gen 2. For $300 we shouldn’t have to pay even more (I also bought the extended warranty in case it died again beyond a year) for data that came normally with a lesser expensive and older generation model. I will be looking into selling it because it is basically useless to me now. I can get the 3 basic details from my watch. I am all about improvements and upgrades but to be a loyal and repeat customer and now having to pay extra for these things that are still available on Gen 2 doesn’t sit well with me. If my Gen 2 still worked I wouldn’t have even known this. So if your thinking about getting a Gen 3, get ready to pay more.

1 Star for customer service. Loved my Oura ring so much I opted to upgrade to the Gen 3. I’d love to give a review for the Gen 3 but I cannot get the Firmware to update therefore it is unusable. I’ve tried EVERYTHING suggested on their website and have tried to contact their customer service on 3 different occasions over the past 3 weeks - no response. I’m hoping someone might respond to this review. My next step is to ask for a refund or elevate this complaint. Oura if you are reading this please help, I want to love your product again! UPDATE: 28 days from initial request for help I finally heard back from Oura. Customer Service 101 would have suggested they at least acknowledge their lack of contact. It was apparent that Oura did not bother to ready my email - they provided the same troubleshooting instructions from their website. If their APP has not updated in the past 4 weeks what difference will it make if I continue to try the same troubleshooting instructions?

Devs don't listen. The app itself is OK, but the devs don't listen when users point out glaring design flaws. Custom tags are a necessity. The current tagging system is completely rubbish. So many useless tags (inconvenient & cluttered) and no way to tag things that really matter to the user (things not necessarily popular enough to warrant adding a new tag for everyone). Still no way to add a workout that happened yesterday. In addition to all this, the app sometimes just won't launch at all, crashing after it loads, leaving the user with no way to see any data from the ring for hours at a time. Yes, I've tried all the troubleshooting steps each time; the only solution was always to wait. Update: App won't launch, and I need to see the battery level to know if I need to drive home to get my charger before my overnight trip or not.

Oura and Afib Patients. As a person with Afib Oura has worked great in tracking my sleep and monitoring my daily heart rate. I am however missing my resting heart rate and averages. When in workout mode it does a great job of giving my continual heart rate. The doctors have chosen to treat my Afib with medication rather than surgery to stop it as it’s not interfering with my day to day life. More and more patients are living with Afib these days as more and more people are finding out they have it. How can we as Afib patients get the full benefits of our Oura ring in future updates. Could we have an update for those of us who live with Afib ? Or maybe there is a better device that you know of which works for us the chronic Afib patient.

Bad at recording sleep. The app is getting so much worse. My sleep score for the last few months has shown two totally different measurements for deep sleep and REM sleep due to the new algorithm (only available to 3rd generation rings). The numbers shown up top will usually be twice as high as the “newer” measurements below. So I’ll get a good sleep score saying I got 2.5 hours of deep sleep but then I scroll down and it tell me I only got 1.25 hrs. So what number do I believe??? if the new algorithm is better, then I have I just been getting a lot more sleep than I think I have for the last three years I’ve had oura ring? Was their algo before that insanely inaccurate? Then the other issue is it missing recording a lot of my sleep. Half the time if I wake up for a little during the night and fall back asleep, it will never record the second half of my sleep (even if it’s hours long) and it also miss half of my naps.

Can’t sync to phone without verifying email address. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be an issue. The problem is that I just bought the watch, opened it up and began the set up. Download and open the Oura app, get the email that lets you complete the set up for your account and go through the steps there. Get the message “welcome to the ours community, valuable member” and am told to return to the app. I click continue on the app and am met with a messages saying that it cannot validate my email. Try again, same thing. The app does not want to verify my email even though I have followed all the instructions. This error persists no matter what I do, different email? Same error. Oh the best part is I can access “oura on the web” using my credentials and on there is says my email address is validated but the app still will not let me continue the setup due to my email being “unverified”.

Buggy as hell & awful customer service.. Seriously save your money. My ring keeps skipping data for no other reason than software issues which apparently are rare, yet I’ve experienced it three time since the ring was gifted to me on Christmas. I contacted customer services & nobody got back to me for three days. There was no apology for the lack of response & there has been no apology for ‘rare software issues’ that they are working on. So bare in one if you purchase this, you will have to deal w consistent ‘rare’ glitches. Happy to share my email correspondence w anyone should they be interested. I have other basics complaints such as inability to log workouts for anything other than the current day. It’s not recommended to wear the ring whilst weight training, so I don’t. I don’t always remember to add the workout that day, especially if I train in the evening, so the data for that day is essentially inaccurate. It also doesn’t record you as sleeping if you only get a few hrs. If you have insomnia, don’t buy this ring. I’m giving it two stars bc it’s definitely been interesting to get a basic understanding of how certain things affect my sleep, however, having experienced the ‘rare’ glitches, I’m not entirely sure how accurate it is. Wouldn’t recommend.

Almost perfect. I love this ring and all of it's technology hidden away inside such a tiny innovation. It tracks my sleep and activity very accurately for the most part. Here are it's shortcomings: If you ride a motorcycle, if you use a leaf blower, if you use a chainsaw, etc.... Your ring will confuse it for exercise. Olympic athlete type exercise! As a result, my activity and therefore overall score is off the charts which is highly inaccurate. Oura, please allow the user to go in and modify detected activity for what it is. The user should be able to select the misread activities and sort them properly. My ring must think I'm a marathon runner sprinting around the world but I'm actually just commuting to work on a motorcycle.

Love my ring. My ring was a birthday gift from my 3 adult kids. I love it. I love the feed back and the challenge do do better, like going to bed earlier for more sleep or going out and taking a walk to be healthier. I’ve had a Fitbit for years, and actually still wear it out of habit, but I like the feedback from my ring and often feel it’s more accurate, and it’s more detailed. I also like some mornings it will tell me to take it easier that day if I’ve had a big day the day before. It’s very validating to how I’m feeling as a senior. And some mornings it will tell me I can accomplish a big goal because all my numbers or something looked good. The ring offers good information and I love understanding more from its feedback through the app.

RN Night Shift Worker. I am a Registered Nurse who works night shifts. This ring and app’s guidance help me structure my day and night routine around my work schedule. I monitor my data daily and change my habits, my sleep routine and work shifts accordingly. It works! This functional piece of jewelry has a good potential to make you feel better and improve your health. You just need to pay attention to your numbers/scores, read their advice based on your data, learn about yourself (i.e. your sleep habits) and make a change! It is a game changer for me. Will it be a game changer for you? It all depends on how you use it. Great potential. Accurate sleep data. Thank you, developers! I’m staying for long! :)

Bad customer service.. Very difficult to get someone online to speak with. I ordered a ring and decided I wanted a different color. Never could get someone to return an email never mind find someone to speak to. In addition, I received the plastic rings (for sizing) but never completed the steps to get the real ring. Not one email from the company asking if I was having a problem. I thought maybe, once they noticed i had t completed the order - I could switch my color. No luck. I do receive these emails about rating them or whatever but not a single real customer service email. So my rating is about their service not the ring. Their customer service is the worst. Even on the most recent ‘rate us’ email, it says click here to contact customer service. It takes me to their main page. Worst experience ever.

Loved it since 2018. I purchased my Oura Ring back in 2018 in a size that would fit both my finger and my husband’s, so that we could switch it out to whoever needs it the most. It’s been a very accurate companion, and I secretly love the fact that it gives me steps for knitting. I try to remember to take it off before I start, but not always. It has helped calm my nerves during Covid times as I could always look at my overnight temperature to see if anything might be going on. It also help me convince my doctors that my knee was infected after a knee replacement, when my overnight temperature spiked for several weeks. And most recently after a bout of the flu followed by a sinus infection, when the overnight temp went up again for five nights in a row, I knew I was fighting something else. It help me to find a blistery looking bump that ended up being a staff infection likely connected to history of significant antibiotic use, and I was able to go get a treated yesterday. So glad I have my Oura! Now, if it could just read my aura and adjust my chakras, I’d never be sick! (Feature request?!)

Buyer’s remorse. 1.5 years into owning a Gen 3 ring. I used to love this thing, and told everyone about it. I was a huge advocate for the Oura brand. Recently, though, the updates to the ring software crush battery life. I can get maximum 2 normal nights on a charge. If I get 6ish hours of sleep per night, maybe that extends to 3 nights on a charge *just barely*. By the way, Oura will tell you that “normal” is 2 nights on a charge, or better. I used to get 4-5 easily before the latest firmware update. What’s worse, in my back-and-forths with Support, they blame me. They tell me that various features of the ring consume more battery life, and that a longer night of sleep can also consume more battery life. Meanwhile, I’ve done absolutely 0 to change my habits with the ring other than update to the latest firmware. I’m incredibly disappointed that there’s been no acknowledgment or help to remediate these issues. I’ll be moving on from my Oura when this current billing cycle concludes.

Amazing product with one small feature request. Amazing product, it’s worked flawlessly for me for the last fee years. Love the form factor since I can wear my ring and use my Apple Watch simultaneously. I am a medical student and use it to track my sleep and activity to make sure I stay active and take care of myself. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve sleep and overall performance as you can see what’s working for you and what’s not. One suggestion for the oura team: make the battery notification appear a few hours before bed, or better yet let me customize when I get the notification. I have do not disturb turn on at 9pm and the notification to charge my ring doesn’t come, so I’ve been left without my daily readiness score quite a few times.

Great for sleep. Great for tracking sleep but as an athlete my active energy is generally well above the daily goals set by Oura, which over time affects my readiness. I wish there was some level of customization like adding in training schedules so you can work your overall readiness around your workouts instead of having them compete. That said, my sleep has improved since using the app quite dramatically so it’s been well worth it in that regard. Only real downside is it doesn’t sync with many other apps besides Apple Health, which I’ve had some issues with source data carrying back and forth correctly. Suggested apps that can sync into oura would be the Polar Apps for activity tracking when ring can’t be worn, and Strava which more accurately calculates distance.

Activity Tracking is Lacking. So i researched watches and found the Oura. I bought it because I understood it to be a fitness and sleep tracker and because I can sleep in a ring much easier than I can in a clunky watch or a tech savvy “Hi Fashion” watch. So far the app does not offer the option to record a Kickboxing workout, it is either HIIT or boxing which according to my gym wearable both miss the mark. I am also not seeing the ring pick up my workout heart rate. Now I have only had it for a week so I am hoping someone here can help me navigate it better or maybe I can find some YouTubes that will help me find what I am looking for. But I was also expecting my Apple Health to pick up the work out heart rate from the ring and so far they are only reading the sleeping heart rate.

A lot of bugs. Sleep tracking has so many bugs! Initially I was excited to get this ring as a gift and it seemed like a good idea to have more data on my wellness. As a new mom my sleep pattern is slightly different and need help tracking how much rest and recovery time I was getting. It does not track sleep well if you are not sleeping 6 hours at a stretch. Everything is a nap in the app and there is no detail on sleep quality in a nap. Even when I have slept through the night it only catches a few hours of initial sleep with data missing frequently. Every other day even if you wear the ring correctly overnight you get no data quoting ‘seems like you forgot to wear the ring’! Don’t need faulty data in an already sleep deprived world. Save your money for Apple Watch or other better health monitoring gadgets.

What is going on with the analytics???. Analytics and tracking are getting more inaccurate with each day I wear my ring in 2024!! PLEASE HAVE THE DEVELOPERS LOOK INTO ALL THE INACCURACIES. I’ve had my ring for around 6 months. At first I loved the product, thought the data was pretty accurate, and had no data issues with app. As of the past month and a half, all of my analytics are off. I will look at my app at 4 pm and see in my activity score I burned 450 calories but then I’ll refresh it at 8 pm and it will show only 320 calories burned. In addition, my workouts are being tagged twice despite the daily summary only showing one workout. I’m very disappointed in all of the recent errors and misreporting. I hope Oura developers are working on a fix because a few months ago everything was working perfectly.

I like for the most part... I forget how long the "trial period" is, but I got the ring originally because I thought I may be having heart problems and this could help me monitor without having to wear a watch. I do like seeing how much I slept each night too, to plan for the next day and whether I need to squeeze in a nap or not. My trial period ended not too long ago though, and I haven't made any changes but I've noticed before the ring would last about a week or so without having to charge. Then I chose not to pay the monthly subscription at the end of the trial period to have the "extra stuff", and it seems that now my battery lasts about two days at a time.... 🤔 At this rate I don't really see the point in even keeping the ring, if I have to pay monthly to not have it die every two days, when I'm used to it lasting about a week...

Ring and app need development, not worth $. The ring provides decent data and app is helpful, but not worth the $ without promised updates. Many of us bought Gen3 rings on the promise of better sleep algorithm, SPO2, etc early 2022…and we’re still waiting. App shows good data, but app lacks expected learning algorithm. With data it’s collecting over time and tags users are imputing, the app should provide personalized recommendations, not general static ones. I.e, don’t keep telling me to not workout or eat late, when I’m already doing that. If my tags show work stress or medication, recommendations should be personalized based on user input and trends. I can get general recommendations elsewhere, that’s not what I’m paying for. And users will be furious if asked to pay for subscription without necessary app improvements.

Almost perfect but big flaw.. Of all the wearables, this is the best most convenient option. I’ve owned their rings since the inception and abandoned my whoop which was a similar competitor. The ring is a put it on and forget about it device. Lots of data points that are ok accurate considering it’s size and location. The major flaw is the wear of the ring. Scratches fairly easy and especially if you lift any weights. Considering the cost, they could have used real metal that would look better when scratched. Or at least a colored polymer instead of a finish coat. Perhaps wearing it on a toe would be better. All the finishes wear similar. Silver would probably wear the best as that is what is below the exterior coat.

From Skeptic to Huge Believer. I’ve never worn a ring before so I was hesitant to wear/buy. How could this little device provide me any insight that my other wearables don’t? The accuracy is unprecedented and the minimalistic form factor is amazing. It’s completely unobtrusive to my daily activities and provides a wealth of health data that I couldn’t imagine or get from another wearable. The sleep algorithm is just phenomenal, and the granular details Oura provides in the app across sleep, readiness, activity, scores, and health trends is just mind boggling. Oura provides so much more detail into your physiology than the “3” scores everyone is familiar with. Oura integrates and is able to draw data (if you give it permission) from your other wearables which provides a near 360° view of your overall health and wellness. I cannot recommend this product enough. If you’ve never been a ring guy (like me) and we’re hesitant because of that aspect - I can assure you that this little device that fits around your finger is so worth the time it takes to get used to the fact that you’ve become a ring person that you’ll never want to take it off.

Ring no longer holds charge after 5 months. Liked the ring while it worked but now it doesn't hold a charge long enough to even get through my day. I haven't tried to return yet but have read on forums that it not and easy to get a response or replacement ring for this issue. We will see. I’ll add some stars if the process goes smoothly. Also Heart Rate Variability is wacked on mine so i disregard this info all together. Sleep tracking is pretty spotty some nights but i believe this is related to the battery issue. The device has great potential but for $300 i had hoped i would get a perfectly functioning ring :( or at least a quick easy exchange program.

Oura Ring. I’m really excited about my new Oura ring! I just got it a little under a week ago and I am already pumped about reaching activity goals as well as achieving the optimal sleep goals. It’s comfortable, aesthetic, and stays charged way longer than any other tech I own. It charges very quickly too. I’m telling everyone I know about mine! It’s been a product on my radar for quite some time. Some possible improvements: I would like to see my oura ring have automatic uploads of data without opening the app. New info from the ring only shows up as you refresh the app therefore new notifications only appear when you check it. Better tracking of my workouts. It’s pretty good at detecting general time frames for workouts you performed but sometimes I am having to add the tags myself as it didn’t show up automatically that I worked out. I have to say the Apple Watch takes the cake on the workouts this far. All in all. I love this product so far and I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their health or become more aware of their overall fitness. Thanks!

The Ring? 4 Stars The App? 1 Stars. I really like the ring. It’s nice to not have yet another wrist tracker to wear and I find it’s more accurate that my Apple Watch. I love the longer battery life, ability to wear it in water, while sleeping, it’s great. However, the ring itself is expensive, and then you have to pay an incredibly expensive fee for the app. Now, I’m still in an extended free trial, so I’m using it, but the info syncs to Health, which I’m not sure will still happen once my free trial ends. Although, the info isn’t always syncing accurately. Only a third of my steps yesterday registered in Health. I haven’t mastered the insights of the app like others, and I’m going to try in my last couple months of the trial, but I’ll likely end my trial before I have to pay for it. Which is a shame, because it seems like I’ll have an expensive and useless ring without it.

Female Heath. I got the ring to compliment my Garmin Watch which I use for training, but to give me more information about my body temperature as I navigate pregnancy. I was really disappointed when I went to log a pregnancy and track my body temperature to find out that there was no setting to do this and I just felt completely ignored as a woman. My body was going through all these changes (as well as a loss), I was exhausted and although this was reflected in my readiness, I would have appreciated something that acknowledged I was pregnant. I see you are now partnering with Natural Cycles so hopefully more information, but this comes with ANOTHER subscription of $99 (after a free trail). I spent $300 on the ring, a $7 a month subscription all to be told you can’t tell me the basic biological information as a female and instead have to be directed and pay for another app. Just disappointed all around, clearly your female clients aren’t a priority.

Horrible customer service and do not treat return clients well.. First, there is no one to talk too. Response time is slow and sometimes zero. From the way my wife and I were treated it seems that they don’t really care to service a client, just sell more rings. We had ordered two of the diamond rings at about $1000 each, plus four more rings for our friends. When they came out with the Gen 3 we asked to get updated for free or for a discount due to fact that they got rid of the diamond ring we paid a premium for. We ended up still buying the Gen 3… No refund for the diamond ring just a year service which was free when we bought the first rings. my Gen 3 starts acting up about a month after the one year warranty. Sent emails to company and they told me all they could do is offer $75 discount on a new one. They are rude and the responses are nearly all robotic, there is no human to talk too, ever. The Device is helpful and I enjoy it when it’s working properly. Looking forward to another company with great customer service, a company that cares about their clients and hopefully makes the same or better device to come into the market. We have bought 8 rings total. Oura Ring is very disappointing on many levels. Dr. A.R.T

I was skeptical. I’ve been fascinated by HRV and health metrics for sometime but most devices just don’t live up to the hype. So, I was not optimistic about the Oura. However, once I got it and spent some time with the device I am VERY impressed. The extra sensors that keep track of temperature and respiration really help add accurate assessments to the HRV reading. In my time with the new ring (pre-ordered) it has been extremely accurate. When I was sick it knew I was sick. Sometimes even before I knew. When I ate bad foods or drank too much it told me to take it easy the next day. I’m very impressed and the team has done a great job. The software is well polished and the ring looks and feels great.

Bait & switch, Useless without monthly $$. This is a scam plain and simple. I bought this ring for the health information it provided. Sleep info, body temp, etc now with this asinine monthly fee if I don’t subscribe I can’t get the information I paid $300 for?!? This is a classic bait and switch!!! The ring was great, so great in fact I got one for my wife too. It was nice to see sleep patterns, heart rate and other important health information. But now Oura has made the ring useless unless you pay the monthly fee. Oura does offer meditation and breathing exercises and stuff like that if you pay the monthly fee but thaT IS NOT what I got the ring for. So why should I not have my personal health information b/c you want to offer all these other items? A suggestion to Oura: give us back our health information and charge the people who want to use the other items like meditation and all that jazz that I am not interested in.

Incredibly disappointing experience. The Gen3 rollout is making me change my mind about the company. I ordered the Gen2 and received it and was happy with it. Upon the announcement of the Gen3, I was offered a free upgrade since I had only recently purchased the Gen2. This seemed like a great move for customer satisfaction. The whole experience/process has been completely downhill since. Claiming the upgrade was confusing as it took them two days to acknowledge. Part of the condition for the free upgrade was that I return my Gen2 first and then they would send my Gen3. I have since returned my Gen2 but can’t get any confirmation about my Gen3 being sent to me. Their customer service sends the same generic responses and then just ghosts you completely. My ‘shipping update’ email promised my ring would be shipped this week…and here we are at the end of the week with nothing, meanwhile I see on Reddit and instagram countless people receiving their rings but I still can’t get a human response from customer support. So I have neither Gen2 nor Gen3, and no ability to actually speak with anyone as to how/when/if they can make it right. Their customer service has been an embarrassment. In my industry, a rollout and subsequent failure to support would’ve cost someone their job.

Oura 3 Update. My review for Oura 2 was 5 stars. All I'm looking for is a sleep tracker that feels accurate. Since I switched to 3 the app constantly gets the Time Asleep wrong by several hours and I have to adjust it. Sometimes even including time periods when I wasn't even wearing the ring. Once in awhile I'll correct the time asleep, check back in later in the day, and it's reset to be the incorrect amount again. It's also frustrating that you can't adjust the Time Asleep on old entries for this reason. It's also become A Lot harder to sync. I'll often have to try multiple times, when previously this was almost never an issue. Fingers crossed this will improve, but overall super disappointed in the past 3 mos performance.

Great Ring and Customer Service. Originally gave this 5 stars. I have had my ring for 2 1/2 years. During that time it has given my invaluable data. I have had sleep issues and having the data gives me the opportunity to show the doctor exactly what is going on. It also helps me tweak what helps and what hurts my sleep (alcohol, desserts 😢). I did have my first ring stop holding a charge after about a year, but the company was able to troubleshoot it on their end and sent me a new ring, no problem. Now my ring is starting to lose its charge again, so I was thinking of getting a new Gen 3 ring, because I have enjoyed having the ring so much. HOWEVER, just found out that they are requiring a $5.99 membership per month to get all the data with the Gen 3 ring. That’s an additional $72 a year! That’s not going to fly with me. Going have to find an alternative.

Adding tags. I’m writing this in hopes that the developers will see this and make a change/fix. I really like this ring, but I would like to be able to add my own custom tag to my sleep chart. When I click into the sleep score or sleep efficiency chart it gives the option to add tags and activities. I click on this and don’t see a tag that fits my description so I write a short comment description and click done. If I don’t actually click on a tag then nothing shows up after I leave the comment. Please add a method to make a custom tag so that it shows up along the bottom of the line chart and not just in a comment section somewhere else. If there is a way to do this I haven’t figured it out yet, my apologies.

Oura pros and cons. I’ve been using the Oura ring for about two years now. It’s helped me to monitor my sleeping habits among other areas of my health such as body temperature and readiness levels. Two feedback items that I wish programmers would address; 1- a notification to charge the ring. I’ve encountered numerous instances where the battery shows half charged and then when I’m looking for sleep data the next morning, there isn’t any because there’s no charge. Inevitably the battery life subsides after you’ve had the ring for some time. 2- the Oura seems to count certain activities twice. For ex. when I’m jogging, it will count my steps, and when I log the jog as an activity, it will count it twice, doubling the activity numbers which is not accurate.

“What gets measured, gets improved.”. This app and product rocks! Been using the Oura ring for 3 years now. The ring is incredibly durable and it’s low enough profile for me to not even notice I’m wearing it. Also the support team is amazing. My ring battery ran down after about a year and a half and they sent me a brand new one with speedy response and great customer service. I also host a health, fitness and wellness podcast and I recommend my listeners get the Oura ring on almost every other episode, I’m even wearing the ring front and center in my podcast cover photo (Livin’ the Dream Podcast). The app stores all the years worth of data and gives you trends of your activity, sleep, recovery, etc.. can’t speak highly enough of team Oura! 💯

Latest update broke my ring :(. My ring and app were working perfectly, until less than two weeks ago. I loved being able to see the variables indicating when my body was more stressed than normal. As someone with chronic health issues, catching a problem while it is small is a big deal and helps me avoid bigger problems. Two weeks ago though, I could no longer edit my sleep data, even within the three day limit. The sliders show, but are grayed out. I updated my app thinking it would help. After the update, my ring no longer syncs at all until it is on the charger. Once I put it on the charger, no sleep data syncs though some daily data is recorded. Then, the battery charge drops to zero despite previously having 40-60%. It makes no sense. I would have assumed it was a battery issue, except it was fine until the update. Regardless, the ring is useless if it doesn’t record the sleep data.

Outstanding until they released the 3rd gen. I loved this ring but the app has been crashing for the last several months. I had to tweet at them to get an email address to reach customer service. The responses said they new it was an issue by there would be an update soon. They said please just keep deleting the app whenever it crashes and then reinstall it. I would do that and lose the data from the previous night and sometimes more. Not to mention the pain of having to set it up each and every time again. I got an email saying the update is available and should do the trick, but I might have to delete and reinstall again if it crashes sometime after the update. I did that and it crashed and I reinstalled etc. That was six days ago. It just crashed again tonight. I’m done. I have the 2nd generation ring I believe. I didn’t want to upgrade to the 3rd and have to pay a monthly fee for the additional features (and I don’t think there was a choice to keep the free plan I’m on if I upgraded). I don’t know if it’s related but it sure feels like what happens with a ton of tech companies when they get you in and then upgrade and change the terms and require you to upgrade in one way or another. Very unhappy with this, especially when it was so promising.

Nice idea. Needs work.. The interface is really amateurish and antiquated. It should allow more precision and detail. Graphs are too generalized and data is vague and not able to be viewed with enough accuracy and precision. Ring battery was good out of the box - about 5-6 days without using too many features. 18 months later I barely get 3 days. It always shuts off in the middle of the night and then doesn’t record anything for that night. I don’t receive notifications that the battery will expire until it’s too late. After 18 months I’m cancelling the subscription. I’ll wait until a new generation with improvements and better interface comes out - also need a better battery or battery level notification system - like a text message telling me it’s time to charge the ring. Surely that’s an easy fix?

Scam product/Company. Update: Without a subscription you get 3 scores and that’s it. You pay over $300 and then have to pay $5+taxes/month or you get useless information. After a recent update my battery wouldn’t last more than a day and a half. I couldn’t figure out why and in researching, found many others were having the same issue. You cannot opt out of allowing your ring data being used by the Oura company and whoever they share it with. I knew this so I never allowed my location to be used. After the update, it was turned on without my knowledge. I turned it off in the app then went into the settings on my iPhone and blocked it there too. Now my ring stays charged longer, but not as long as when I first got it. (Gen 3) I also cut off the subscription. This company’s behavior is too red flag-ish for me. Further, I get more info from my smart watch than this and I don’t pay any monthly fees and, I get to maintain my privacy.

One of the most quality products. The sleep monitor is very accurate among all the other features. It can tell exactly when and if I wake up in the middle of the night. The charge lasts around a week which is very impressive. Very solid construction. The styling is simple and nobody can tell right off the bat that its loaded with hardware. The app has literally a ton of information to offer. This ring is not a gimmick. There is alot more to say. I don't write reviews but for a company like this, it's well deserved. I hope they continue to add more to what is already an incredible product. It's an elegant fashion statement that doubles as a health tracker that monitors your vitals so you can be more in tune with yourself. Great product. 👌🏼

Wonderful, but missing some functionality.. I love my Oura ring. I feel like it’s given me some very valuable insights into my health. However, it’s missing one glaring functionality. You cannot add workouts from previous days. Sometimes I do active things in the evenings and in the midst of dinner after and winding down I forget to input the activity that night. The app does not enable you to go back and add a workout. I understand it calculates your readiness score based off the previous day’s information, but it’s an algorithm. It should be able to recalculate based on new information. Without this functionality, my readiness scores are not reflective my true levels. Oura, please fix this.
