Review: One month in! It's great! - I've been wearing the oura
ring gen 4, stealth, size 9 for exactly one month now. First off,
sizing. I was between sizes 9 and 10. I opted for the smaller
size using this little test: Using the plastic ring sizes, if you
cannot take off the ring in the morning when your fingers are
puffiest, and the only way to do so is by wetting your finger to
add some slippage, then that's the right size. With the bigger
size, I was able to take off the ring in the morning without
using water so I felt that size was too big. One month later, I
am glad I went with the smaller size. No discomfort and still
using water in the morning to take off the ring before I shower.
Comfort I wear it on my right index finger. I did not like in
between fingers, which is the reason I wear a silicone wedding
band. But overall, it's not very intrusive. It's annoying to
write with a pen or pencil but that's not often. Appearance I
love the stealth color. Already got a few scratches on my palm
side, which is a little annoying. But I tell myself that at least
the back of my hand, the ring looks like new. I use these
silicone protectors when working out with weight and it does a
great job. The scratches came from handling things where I should
have taken off my ring. I wish there were some way to make the
scratches less visible as these scratches you see a shiny silver
metal which contrasts a lot! Battery No issues. I charge it every
few days or so while I shower. I am manually trying to keep the
battery at between 25% and 75% but most often I forget that I
left it charging and it goes back to 100%. Sleep Tracking I'm not
a power user. I enjoy checking in the morning my sleep score and
compare it to how I thought my sleep went the night prior. Pretty
accurate sleep tracking in my opinion. Fitness Tracking. So we
all know that the step counter is way off so I don't really care
about that. However, the ring really is good at spotting fitness
"events" and I love that when opening the app, there's a backlog
of events that you have to confirm the type of activity. My top
three are: housework, walking, and HIIT. The app gets better at
recognizing the events so most times I am just confirming instead
of categorizing. Overall, this level of tracking is simply
encouraging me to be more active, which has lead to a good impact
on my health. Overall, pretty satisfied with the ring. Glad I got
it.
Review: Apple Watch convert. Oura 4 is great - I’m a former Apple
Watch user and hated wearing the watch as I prefer a more
traditional watch. Apple Watch battery life always caused me to
miss sleep patterns and it always needed charging in 24 hours.
It’s not for me and I also didn’t like working out with a watch
on. I ended up rarely wearing the watch After fitting for the
ring I went with the stealth black. The battery life has been
great and so far I’m getting 7 days. It accurately tracks heart
rate and sleep, which were my biggest needs but I love that I can
wear it for a week straight without charging. It’s tracks way
more like recovery, sleep cycles and vo2 and frankly I’m getting
way more out of the ring than I expected. I also wear it when I
workout including weights and it’s been unnoticeable to me unlike
the Apple Watch. I love the simplicity of a ring and I’m a full
convert. As for the monthly fee that some people seem to be mad
about, I’m sure there are apps fees most of us are paying for
other things but this fee is cheap for what it is. It’s your
health after all and it’s worth it. They are also constantly
improving the app and older versions of the ring work with these
updates. I’m more than happy paying this fee as it’s going to
improvements in health metrics (and I’m sure some profits) but
it’s worth it to me because the app is very insightful and beyond
my expectations. Durabilty also seems great. I’ve showered with
it and worked out with barbell right on it and so far there are
no scratches As for things I wish it had - The charger is meant
for the ring size you buy so you are very limited in charging if
you don’t have it. If you lose it you got problems. It’s not
ideal but i also don’t know what could be done here There is no
portable charger and it feels like a big need. I wish it had an
AirPod like charging case for travel. I travel for 2-3 weeks at a
time and sure wish I had a portable charger I could get a couple
recharges from. They have to be working on this as it seems like
a no brainer The silver interior with stealth black I wish was
all black but it’s not really noticeable. Not a bud deal
