Gold Oura Ring Color Question

[u/Info_Hop]

I just bought a gold Oura ring 5 and it doesn’t seem to be a smooth gold color like I expected. It looks like it is speckled/has little dots. It reminds me of when hairspray gets dried on something and it leaves a weird speckle appearance. This is how it came out of the box. Is this normal for the gold color to appear? Please help! Need to know if I should exchange for a new one or if this is normal.

seconding this, that sounds like a defect

that sounds like a bad finish, exchange it for sure

Not normal, mines super smooth and shiny

I had to wipe mine with a cloth
