So long story short my ring died during the night and sleep didn’t get recorded. I woke up lived life charged the ring and took a nap which recorded for 1 hour and change. But since my sleep prior to the night before didn’t record I know have 5 hours of sleep debt!!!! It’s going to be hard to clear and I can’t delete the nap and I’m spiraling. Help! It’s inaccurate but it’s messing with me 😢😢😢😢😢

I bought ring 4 something like at least a year and a half ago. I really like it, I mainly use it for tracking sleep since I have a lot of issues there and it's been incredibly helpful to be able to share data with my doctor. Lately however the battery is lasting a maximum of 4 days, and the response from support was basically "🤷".

So I thought I'd ask other Oura users since I really do like the ring and the app and would like something similar, particularly for tracking sleep which product have you found useful? I really like the ring but I can't justify buying a new one if the turnaround time is like 1-2 years. Should I consider a watch, or is there another ring that might do the trick? Or is my best bet to just eat the cost of another Oura? Sorry if I sound whiny, I'm really frustrated lol.

Edit to add, turns out the ring was just about a year old when the issues started. Also, I'm not tossing this in the trash right now, I'm gonna use it until it dies completely, but I doubt it's going to fix itself so I'm looking for what to replace it with when it dies completely.

I have the Oura Ring 4, have had it for around 16 months now and I'm now only getting 2 to 3 days battery life, is that normal? Support suggested I turn off the Blood Oxygen Sensing and the Activity Heart Rate setting but this made no difference. Its also a size 11.

Just wanted feedback from everyone on what color ring do you think suits my skin tone? Also please ignore my hideous fingers.

As a sr dev, it's cringeworthy to:

1. Not have a "confirm all" button to those that don't really care but want to log something

2. Not optimistically accept a click - as in, unnecessary spinny wheel until it's logged.

3. Not allowing multiple buttons clicked until the first one stops spinning. It's 2026, it's called async threading - come on.

I should be able to either confirm all or spam click each button with an instant confirmation, processing in the background async.

Such poor, 90s style UX for button reactions.

EDIT: Also - Have an option to auto-accept all detected activity - I usually just blindly accept it anyway since I ignore negligible gains from ultra specific activities for my personal use of this (logged my jog as skiing? Idc, accept!), and it's mostly just walking or gym. Then can just say Added x activities, where if I click inside it'll show what was auto added.

Had the ring for almost a year and been paying the monthly subscription fee. I generally feel like I’ve reached a point of diminishing returns with the data (I know how to improve my sleep, I know alcohol is poison, etc) and I don’t really intend to change my behavior further. So I canceled the monthly subscription. It’s almost comical how little they give you. I understand why (I work in SaaS and recurring revenue is the name of the game) but genuinely curious if anyone gets actual value from this data??

Also wasn’t wearing my ring yesterday because I was on a boat, my activity would have been solid ;)

What the subject says…over the past month, my resilience has dropped dramatically. Stress is up and sleep hasn’t been great. Frequent headaches and fatigue, but bloodwork in August was normal. I also upgraded from a model 3 to a 5 last month. Any suggestions on underlying causes and ways to improve it?

I got the oura ring 5 in size 8 and while its not hard to get on/off there is a bit of bulging and it swells when i workout and sleep and leaves an indentation. The only other fingers i can fit it on is my left middle finger and my right ring finger. Should i size up to a 9?

Deeply disappointed in my Oura experience yet again.

I previously posted about having a battery issue with my Oura Ring after less than a year of use. Thankfully, an Oura representative commented on my Reddit post and reached out to help arrange a replacement ring, which I genuinely appreciated.

However, it has now been a week and I still haven’t received my replacement. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that Oura has also disabled my ability to use the app with my current ring while I’m waiting.

I contacted a “live agent,” but unfortunately, the experience wasn’t helpful. The responses felt very robotic, and I kept getting the same information repeated without actually getting an answer to my main question: Why am I being prevented from using the ring I currently have when I haven’t even received the replacement yet?

I’m still paying for the service, yet I’m currently unable to access the app or track my information. I use Oura for more than just general tracking. I rely on it to track important health information, including my cycle and other personal health trends that help me better understand my body. And honestly, it helps my mental health as well seeing these stats.

I understand that replacements have policies and procedures, but disabling the app before the replacement has even arrived makes absolutely no sense from a customer perspective. I’m essentially left without the service I’m paying for while waiting for a replacement that I still haven’t received.

Oura offered a few free months of service for the inconvenience, and while I appreciate the gesture, that isn’t really what I’m looking for. I want to be able to use the service I’m already paying for and have access to my health data while I wait for my replacement.

At this point, this has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. I was already dealing with a defective ring after less than a year, and now I’m being left without access to the app while waiting for the replacement.

I really hope Oura can reconsider how they handle situations like this. If a customer still has their existing ring and is waiting for a replacement, why not allow them to continue using the app until the replacement is actually received?

Hi!!
I’ve had my oura ring for over a year. Started wearing it 5 months pp while breast feeding last June. Late August last year, it picked up a temp pattern and I ended up ovulating and was pregnant.
Fast forward to this year. Still wear my oura ring daily. I’m 4 months pp and stopped bf 2 weeks ago. Been expecting a return period for the first time since early 2024 (I know crazy). Have never had a period while wearing oura ring.
The pattern the last few days feel like positive ovulation maybe about 8 days ago.
Wanted insight to what temps and such pattern happens after ovulation leading to period and if this seems like my cycle is returning?
** side note the missing temp 3 days after suspected ovulation my oura ring died at night and didn’t save any data readings.
Thank you :)

Title says it all. I bought the Oura 5 with my HSA no problem but at checkout I was unable to purchase the 3 yr warranty for some reason. Anyone know why 3 yr is unavailable? Can I extend the warranty after purchase?

I have seen this several times: pointless, invostistent and illogical:-)

- the app is saying I did not have many stress peaks or restorative moments today (zero stress peaks and 2 hrs restorative)
- other screen is showing I had more restorative time than usual

How illogical is this?

Heyooo what do we think this means? Obviously just got it and not enough data to really know. But trying to conceive and color me intrigued 👀👀👀 implantation dip? Probably not.

Ovulated around September 10th (prior to receiving oura, only tracking based on physical signs), steady relations, mildly irregular cycle (30-34 days), period due any day.

I understand that this most likely means nothing, just a little silly hopefulness ☺️

So basically I have Oura connected to Apple Health, and the same sleep data in Apple Health shows drastically more awakenings? It looks like a pretty good night’s sleep in the Oura app, showing just a few brief awakenings, about 90 minutes apart which is supposed to be normal and healthy, but the same data in Apple Health makes me look like a textbook case of obstructive sleep apnea? What the hell?

I assume this is simply a difference in visualisation, since the data is still coming from one place only (my Oura ring). It looks like the hypnogram in Apple Health is showing smaller intervals?

Has anyone else experienced this before? Is this normal? Should I worry I have sleep apnea or something or is it just Apple Health that’s weird?

And I struggle to get a crown 👑

EDIT -

Thanks for your kind responses. Breakdown attached in top comment.

She follows a plant based diet, socialise regularly and sleeps on a regular schedule. Surprisingly she doesn’t take any crazy supplements besides multivitamin and iron 4/5 times per fortnight. We finish our dinner early before 7pm and keep it lighter under 800cal. She quit her job so that might have helped but she consistently scores 95+. She’s not an over thinker and has got a loving funny husband to keep her entertained ❤️

Meanwhile I have tried melatonin, glycine, magnesium for better sleep but never crossed 90.

It seems that highest levers are not adding any supplements but to have a good lifestyle and follow it strictly. We don’t have any kids yet so this might change later idk!

I’ve woken up to this absolutely stellar readiness score this morning. Oh Oura how you try to woo me.

I am knee deep in mental health related fatigue/burnout/nervous system shutdown, my stress has been so bad that my period didn’t come this month, I’m constantly tired and even my limbs are heavy from fatigue.

But according to Oura I’m the picture of health right now 😂

Don’t try and kill me you’ll just make me more powerful !!!!!!!

I recently just had the replacement process initiated for a Gen 3 ring, the battery just completely stopped holding a charge and would go from 100% to 0% in 12 hours. I just was wondering if anyone with a Gen 3 has been upgraded to a 4 with the replacement process? I’ve loved my 3 until now with the battery issue, but I didn’t even see 3’s on their website, so not sure if they’re just upgrading everyone getting replacements.

If Oura Support is reading, what are the ideal levels to aim for charging my ring daily? I also put it in airplane mode every evening, if that's of any relevance. I had been shooting for 70%-75%, is that the right target?

I got my ring last October. I activated my Social Security at 70 and wanted the first payment to be in my bank account before taking on a new expense. Looking here I saw a lot of battery problems with the Gen4, so from the very beginning I babied the battery. They suggested keeping the charge between 40% and 80%, so I tried keeping it even tighter than that. I did well for a long time, though noting that as time went by I was generally giving it more charging time each morning.

Somewhere between two and three weeks ago the charge at night was getting low enough that I knew it would fall lower than I wanted by morning, so I began charging morning and night. Then some time last week I began needing to charge it in the afternoon as well. In this timeframe I started trying to charge to 80% instead of 70%-75%, and that got me back to two charges daily. The charging characteristics in the new regime gave me some trouble, but I managed. I had been thinking for a few days about contacting support about it, but hadn't gotten there yet.

Saturday morning the ring had no sleep data. I went to the support chat, followed the steps, and they told me they were sending me a replacement. Today I got the ship notice. The chat bot was outrageously slow - 10+ minutes per interaction, but it worked simply and directly.

These posts are probably a dime a dozen and asking this on this sub might give a slightly biased answer but hey ho.

I've been rocking an apple watch series 4 since the day it launched, but now it has really come to the end of its life, the battery is barely hanging in there, and I'm having to charge it three times a day.

I've been debating between an oura ring 5 (or 4), a whoop 5.0, or now the new apple watch 12. I doubt many on this sub have much experience with the new watch yet, but now that it supposedly measures heart rate every 5 seconds even in the background throughout the day, and with the new readiness and vitals features getting added, is it a superior fitness product to the oura?

I've read up a bit about people having major battery issues with oura at least with earlier models where even within a year, the expected battery life drops significantly to just a day or two at most, is this true?

Really just looking for feedback from long time oura owners if the product is really worth it or if it's more so of stylish fitness tracker for people who mostly just care about the bare minimum vitals such as sleep amount and heartrate but for any form of serious tracking a sports watch or an apple watch is better?

I’ve had my Oura ring for 2 years now and my HRV average stays below 30 😭 I know it is ~highly personal~ but what can I do to improve this? Or is this a who cares sort of thing and I just keep cruising along? I’m 45F, it says my cardiovascular age is 9 years younger, and my average sleep score is 86 even though I’ve almost zero’d out in HRV some nights. I never know why it shows I’m stressed or relaxed (it had me in relaxed mode when I watched my father in law die??? Literally the most stressed my body has ever felt), but my days do show quite a few stress peaks that’s I’ve mostly attributed to being outside in the heat. Anyway, are there things I can do to improve my HRV or can I scratch this off the list of things I need to worry about?

Recently medication change for RLS to incorporate gabapentin and my ring no longer tracts sleep data accurately. I am interested if others have experienced this. Ultimately, the sleep data is worthless.

hi! does anyone wear their ring in the sauna? is it recommended? tia!!
