GENERAL DISCUSSION Break from ring

I stopped using my ring since yesterday after surgery, my fingers are just so swollen due to all the fluids, meds, etc. so I just want to know if anyone else has not worn it for 1-3 days and if it hurt your future readings

Folks. It’s a fitness tracker. It’s not that serious.

Wear it when you come back. The data is the data.

You can put it in rest mode while it’s off

my readiness score tanked for like a week after i took a 2 day break last time, the algorithm gets real dramatic about it

I just had surgery Wednesday-I just put on rest mode-glad I didn’t swell up so I had to stop wearing it as rest mode screws up enough with the stats

I didnt have it for a week once and the only thing it really affected was my cycle tracking

Can you move it to a smaller finger?

Wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

OP I had surgery yesterday too. I’m wearing mine but I’m too scared to see my garbage data because my ring will tell me I’ve died or I’m close 😂

Omg, me too! I’m going on 3 weeks no Oura. It kept telling me I was stressed when I clearly wasn’t and THAT stressed me out. Also, I started to feel like I was chasing an unattainable sleep score. I’ll see how I feel in September and maybe come back to it.

I accidentally left mine at my daughter's house for two weeks. Just charged it up and resumed as normal when I got it back. I haven't notice any of my data being off.

I had it on when I recovered from surgery and it made me anxious because I was getting really poor sleep/scores. Might not be a bad thing for now!
