Oura Ring 4 - Black - Size 10 - Smart Ring - Unique Sizing, Not Standard US Ring Sizes - Size First - Sleep Tracking Wearable - Heart Rate - Fitness Tracker - Up to 8 Days of Battery Life

My husband bought each of us a ring for our birthdays. I was planning to return mine because I have an Apple watch and it seemed redundant. After reading more about the rings features, I decided to use it. It has features that are not available on my watch and gives a more accurate picture of my sleep and activity. It captures apneic events that I was unaware I was having as well as just how little I truly sleep. I have not slept well in more than 13 years, due to spine and shoulder injuries and subsequent surgeries. I never felt my providers believed me that I am unable to sleep for more than 1-2 hrs at a time. I frequently need to get up and walk around, sleep in a recliner or on the floor…. Lack of adequate sleep has taken a toll on my physical and mental wellbeing. Now, I have much more accurate proof of my severity disrupted sleep quality. My watch will record disruptions, but I’m right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist, so it will record me as sleeping because if I’m reading, my left hand is pretty still. This gives a much more accurate picture because I can wear it on may right hand. I think the ring and watch compliment each other in painting a more accurate picture. I would not replace either with just 1 or the other, because some capabilities aren’t available on both. For instance, my watch can detect a hard fall and call 911 if I am unable to confirm that I am ok. Due to spinal nerve damage, I fall frequently and have had some severe injuries, so my watch is vital in that respect. If you are looking for one device that does it all, I am unaware of one. If you are looking for a device to complement and back up the information that is gathered on one device, you cannot go wrong with this ring. I highly recommend a silicone cover for the ring, because it does scratch easily. That being said, my 14 k wedding ring has taken a lot of abuse over the 30 years I’ve worn it, so it could just be that I’m pretty rough on my hands and the loss/decreased (of) sensation in my hands definitely contributes to the scratches. Overall, I really like the features of this ring and that I have a much more accurate picture of how little I sleep, because I’ve always felt that my healthcare providers feel that I have to exaggerate how little I sleep.

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

I have had my Oura ring for two months now. I like it even more than I ever imagnined. I ordered the Rose Gold, because the regular "gold" looks more like an orangey green yuck color. I use a clear silicone ring cover ordered here on Amazon to protect my Rose Gold Oura Ring from scratches. I am so imoressed with the app results and love looking at them each morning. I take pics of my food, log activity and am amazed at the sleep data, oxygen sensing, the levels of sleep (Deep, Light, REM etc) and the body temperature results are fascinating. It sensed I had an elevation in my body temperature the day before I realized that I was sick. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the plastic rong sizers for ten dollars (they apply that towards purchase of your ring) for sleeping in and trying on for a few days. Our fingers swell and it is great to try the sizers on to decide which finger to wear it on. They recommend the indx finger is the best for the biometrics. Think of when you are at the Dr or ER and how they put a pulse oximeter on your index finger. It is more reliable than a smart watch on your wrist.
