Oura

I have ring for six months, and it started draining the battery after just one night of sleep, so I had to charge it daily. Now, even if I charge it right before sleep, the battery is dead by morning and doesn’t show data. I need to charge the ring twice a day, and some data is still missing in the morning. I contacted support, and they said they would send me a new ring, but they keep delaying it because the ring is out of stock in their warehouse, and they aren’t providing any alternative. They apologized and gave me an extra 6 months on top of the subscription, but that doesn’t solve the issue with the faulty ring.

Hardware and software are excellent. Customer service used to be slow (and when they launched Gen 3, for weeks it was a total kaput), but now is getting better. If you’re looking for accuracy and great analytics, you found it. One issue though: activity tracking is very rudimentary; you run, and you cannot see how much you’ve completed, nor the pace. So for on-the-go tracking, still need Strava or similar.

Neseniai pradėjau naudoti šį įrenginį. Kol kas pastebiu, kad jis veikia taip, kaip ir aprašyta. Kokybė tiek pačio žiedo tiek “softo” tvirta, aiški ir suprantama. I just have started to use this device. So far I’ve found that it’s doing what it suppose to do. Quality of both ring and it’s software feels solid and friendly.

Had the app for a month on the free trial, it just ended and basically all the health insight data is paywalled. Will probably go back to using my old Apple Watch for tracking fitness and sleep or switch over to the Samsung ring that does not require a subscription. Really bummed because I liked it up until this point. I could see charging a subscription if the rings were cheaper but at the current price point charging a subscription to use the device what for it’s designed for seems ridiculous.

The Oura ring and app have several issues that limit its usefulness. 1. If I spend any amount of time sitting quietly either before bedtime or when I get up in the morning, it counts that as sleep. Sometimes, after I have corrected that, it reverts and I don't notice so there are these anomalous and incorrect nights of 10-12 hours of sleep in my history. Therefore, the longer term (weekly or seasonal) analyses aren't very accurate. 2. I need to remove the ring when I mow the lawn or drive long distance, otherwise it counts that as a fairly vigorous or extended workout with no way to correct. Once again invalidating any long term analysis and also the readiness score. 3. The battery only began at around 4 days (not 7 as claimed) and soon was down to 1-2 days. The ring was still under warrenty and was replaced, but when the new ring developed the same short time span I was told the warranty (for the replacement ring) ended at the timeframe for the original ring. So, I charge it every day, which the instructions recommend so I guess they know the battery is quite limited, but like to pretend you're going to get a week at a time. I really only use it to see my hrv when meditating. Even the nighttime hrv is in doubt due to above mentioned inaccuracy gauging when I am asleep.

The hardware and the app both are great, and combined they provide valuable insight unlike any other fitness platform I’ve seen. Excellent and timely analysis - with actionable suggestions. Fantastic product and I hope Oura keeps innovating and adding new features for us! Thanks so much! :)

I absolutely love my oura ring! It’s amazing! But I am SOOO disappointed that they decided to get greedy and started charging $6 per month to access the app. The $400 ring price (which is a lot considering they only last about a year before you have to buy a new one, I’m on my 3rd one in 3 years) isn’t enough, now they are price gauging their customers by sucking them into paying a monthly premium to access the information from the ring on the APP? Greedy and disappointing!

Bring back the split times in running!!!!!

We need the ability to add in a workout for the previous day or two…there have been multiple instances where I was working out and it wasn’t automatically detected and I forgot to add it in later and then it just ended up looking like I was stressed for a few hours.

I can’t believe they swindled me into paying monthly for the app, it’s the only reason I force myself to wear the painful rash-causing oversized ring. Was super disappointed in the sleep tracking which is why I bought the thing, often inaccurate I can wake up 6 times in a night and it counts 1-2. It has temperature capabilities but it doesn’t correlate those graphs with my sleep patterns so I can’t see if that’s why I’m waking up… I really regret buying the oura and the $6/month is just a monthly reminder that it’s not worth it. Cancelled today, finally can throw the ring away 🥳
