The Oura Ring is a health tracker disguised as a metal ring that is sleek, minimal, and accurate in its tracking of sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and daily steps. It comes in two designs, is made of titanium and plastic, and has a battery life of up to 7 days. The ring tracks various health metrics and workouts, and the app provides a history of data for users to monitor trends over time. The ring does not require a subscription, but a subscription provides access to more detailed data and analysis.
The author tested the Oura Ring for four months and found it to be accurate in sleep tracking and general health monitoring. The ring automatically detects workouts and has a feature that prompts users to enter rest mode when they are feeling unwell. However, the ring does not come in half sizes, which may be an issue for some users, and it does not provide live fitness stats or consistent GPS data for outdoor activities. Overall, the Oura Ring is a good alternative for those who dislike bulky watches and want a discreet health tracker, but it may not be suitable for users who require live fitness tracking or precise GPS data.
