Oura 4+

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!

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!

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.
