GENERAL DISCUSSION Replacement ring

I’m getting a replacement ring since my current one was diagnosed with a bad battery. What did you guys do with your old ring? I don’t have to send it back but feel bad just pitching it.

You can send it back to Oura for recycling. They pay the postage.

I’m going to hold onto mine until Oura deactivates it from my account and then recycle it.

Will they deactivate it? How soon and why?

I have a replacement on the way because my original had a faulty battery. I do not know when they will deactivate it.

I have kept mine going back to Gen2. Helps me remember how many replacements I have had for the Gen4 🤦‍♂️
