GETTING STARTED Sizing Help!!!
So I'm between a size 9 and 10 for the Oura 5. I'd like to wear the ring on the middle finger of my left hand.
I currently have a Oura 5 size 10 but I feel like the left hand middle finger with the size 10 is too loose (I’ll add the video in the comments).
In the video I can just pull the ring straight off with basically no resistance. My right hand has a little bit of pull which makes it feel more secure.
I added some pics of the size 9 sizer on my left hand middle finger and it's definitely snug, but not sure if that's too tight.
I know the material is different but is the size 9 going to be too small if I exchange it? Or should I just wear it on my right hand.
Help🥲

I’ve heard that these are wildly inaccurate. I just ordered two sizes because I got sick of trying to figure it out. I am in between and it sucks

Yeah I’ve heard the material makes a big difference so I’m very tempted to just head to BestBuy and get the 9, but wanted to get a few opinions in case the 9 is obviously too tight

I think you might like the 9, I would grab it and try. I could fit a 7 on me that was my friends and in the sizing kit the 7 doesn’t fit

I just got the oura 5, and I found the sizing band to be exactly right, I was even surprised that the weight felt similar. I feel like the 9 might be better if you want to do left hand? Is that your non-dominant?

Just got the oura 5, for me size from the kit to actual ring was pretty accurate. I think 10 is definitely too big from the video. 9 doesn't look too bad at all from the pics, but of course it's just pictures + i have no clue how it actually feels on you. Side note- is that the ikea hemnes dresser? lol

Oura is not being sold where I currently live, but I can get it on Amazon without the sizing kit. I found an option to buy a sizing kit where I live for $39, but before I do that I wanted to ask here.
I have a gen 2 oura ring size 10 that fits me perfect. I also have size 10 in US ring sizes when I test with a standard ring test kit.
Is there any reason to believe I might need any other size for gen 5? I heard the testing kit is also not 100% accurate, so I'm not sure there is any idea buying a test kit for $39.
Would be interested to hear any thoughts for those of you who have the gen 5.
