Oura Ring 4 - Stealth - Size 10 - Size Before You Buy

I hesitated for a while before investing in this gadget. And I love my Gadgets! but after doing some homework on the competition, I decided to jump for it. First, the fit and metal colour are great, I couldn't be happier, the quality and durability is insane, i do everything with it, I rarely take it off. The connectivity to my Samsung Z Fold6 was flawless, no hiccups, plus, everything you open the app, it updates in no time. so great compatibility. Now, you need to give it time to gather data about you, of course... it will not happen overnight which is quite right, but the intel you get afterwards is great. Your body age, sleep quality, energy available, your stress, it is such a great little ring. it is a lot of money for such a small device but the value for money is worth it. I highly recommend it if you are curious and want to be nudge in the right direction for better health.

I was keen to utilise technology to help with my fitness, but love mechanical watches so a smart-watch wasn't an option. Came across this and after some research I gave it a punt. Very happy customer, the ring is a doddle to set up and works a treat. Battery life is a snadge less than advertised but not enough to make me dock points. It's a shame about the subscription, as I think the ring is costly enough that it's something of a liberty to charge for ongoing use, they could lose things like the guided meditation etc and give a free option, or bake in more value-add to the app. Enough moaning though, what it does it does really well, giving me insights into my sleep patterns and broader health. I am happy I bought it and check the app at least daily months after buying.

The app is brilliant. It takes a while to get to know you, so don't expect instant insights, but as it builds a picture it is really good at telling you what's going on. I am using it to track my food etc as well, so not exclusively related to what's happening on the ring. On the ring specifically? Well, it is chunkier than a ring you'd buy as jewellery. That's ok and it's not ridiculous, but you have to get used to it. I do find I take it off and put it on more, or change fingers, as my hand needs a rest. The colour... Despite the name stealth, does stand out. If you want something more subtle then brushed or silver is probably better, as it's more like typical jewellery. That being said, I've gotten used to it. Sizing - definitely get the sizing kit and wear not for a few mins but for a day or two to understand how your fingers change size. Battery life is good. I reckon 8 charge it once every 4 otlr 5 days so far. I understand turning off blood oxygen measuring is the way to really eek out more battery life. You can also use airplane mode to reduce how often it speaks to your phone. But yeah, no regrets, it's a great tool and honestly, easier to live with than a smart watch.

Really impressed, it's been tracking my sleep and helping manage my diet and exercise. It's comfortable and pretty stylish. The app is easy to use and doesn't bother me all the time with ads or useless notifications. It's very expensive and having to pay a subscription isn't the best but I think it's pretty good value for the technology in it. It was really easy to set up and hasn't had any connection drop outs or other issues. I'm a little concerned that the next ring will not be compatible with my current charger or case if I decide to get one. I hope it will be but the 3rd gen isn't compatible with 4th so that's something to know if you're buying in a few years and the 5th gen is due out. Hopefully I'm wrong and backwards and forwards compatibility won't be a problem. I like the idea of being able to give friends a discount link right from the app but it would be better if I got a month of my subscription free if they buy. I much prefer this form factor to a watch but you do give up easy heart rate monitoring so maybe a widget that can be pinned to a phone screen or even a small screen on the ring would be something cool to add in the future. Blood pressure monitoring would also really be a cool thing to add but that might not be possible. One other thing to keep in mind if you are buying is it really needs a lot of data to get the most out of it so for the first couple of weeks to a month it won't give you all the readings. In conclusion, I love it, I'm really pleased with the fit and the colour I chose. The app is great and I wish I'd had one years ago. Very happy customer.

Don’t waste your money!! I have had mine 4 months and the battery is draining fast!! A very expensive piece of crap in my opinion. You also have to pay a subscription which is ridiculous!! If you want to track your health get a watch. I got conned into getting this to take my temperature, the way it is going it won’t even work in a months time and I’ll have to fork out more money! You also have to buy ring covers every month because it gets scratched very easily and it just looks like an eyesore the covers don’t last very long either!

Love the Oura ring for all the info it tracks. Great. Love wearing it too - looks and feels nice.

Tracks biometrics pretty accurately. Has a premium price plus a subscription. Add to the fact that they scratch quite easily it’s not a 5 star. Comfortable to wear, much more comfortable than a watch

I really liked this device — that is, until just under 12 months in, when the battery began to fail. It now struggles to last even 24 hours on a full charge, which is not what I would expect from a £350 device, particularly one that also requires a £70 annual subscription for full functionality. I also experienced considerable difficulty contacting the manufacturer when the issue arose. The support process is heavily automated, and it took persistence to reach a human representative. That said, once escalated, the manufacturer has now acknowledged the battery fault and appears to be offering a replacement under warranty. At this price point, I would expect multi-year durability and more straightforward access to customer support. Hopefully the replacement performs better over the longer term.
