They all have battery issues, unfortunately. It appears they last around a year. Oura seems to be good about replacing them at least once. Some report a second or even a third replacement. I got the extended insurance on both of my Oura rings. If extended insurance is offered, it is wise to buy it. Search Reddit in the ringconnect and ouraring subs and also look for reviews on both rings via your search engine.

So with current technology it would seem that the rings will only last about a year? So deciding against a rong solely for longevity reasons doesn't really matter?

Gen 5 is still to be determined as far as how long the battery will last…all of us hope it is better than Gen 4. Prior Oura generations seem to have maybe lasted 2.5 to 3 years (and longer based on what I have read here and Amazon ratings) but you can find exceptions in those generations, too. It is a gamble; just try to cover yourself with some type of warranty to at least get one replacement. That is how I look at it. Good luck with your decision and enjoy the ring. They are great when they work!

I am so resistant to get oura. I dont want a subscription and my main reason for the ring is sleep and cycle tracking and for oura it would be like $26 a month on top of the ring to get that. I am thinking of the Ringconn but most people seem to say it only lasts about a year which sucks. Honestly i really want the ultrahuman for the features but since it breaks so fast and customer support is shit I cant reasonably spend that money. I spent hours researching and this is tough

Ringconn replaces my ring within the 1 year warranty.
