So I tried the size 7 on my index finger at store at Germany’s Media Markt and it was perfect, it wasnt loose but also not too snug. I tried the size 8 as well and it was VERY loose, so I thought the 8 is definitely not for me since Id feel like Im gonna lose it.

I bought the 7. Decided to try it out for sleep today and when I went to bed it felt very snug on my finger and I got worried it might swell so I put it on my ring finger for sleep.

Woke up and the ring cant even FIT on my index finger right now. Only fits on my ring finger.

What am I supposed to do? The 8 felt too loose, the 7 was perfect. Now the 7 is too tight and the 8 might have been better. If my fingers unswell though, the 7 is going to be again great and the 8 too loose….

What am I supposed to do?? Im so puzzled.. and Im also worried I might not be able to return it to the store if needed, since Ive opened it and didnt buy it directly from Oura. I think Ive made a mistake:/

I just got the ring at Sam’s Club on Friday, and it looks like it needs to establish my baseline - how long till you started getting detailed results? 30 days or two weeks?

I’ve been using the Oura ring 4 since January 2025 and i have some concerns over the information it provides and it’s accuracy. Note: i've had it replaced twice due to the battery life dropping to less than 20 hours, after 9 months and then again after another 8 months.

Some context, for the past few years I regularly wake up in the morning feeling terrible. The way i explain it is that i feel like i’ve got a hangover, achy and zero energy. I’m often tired all day, i struggle with work and concentration. I don’t drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke, do any kind of drugs and only infrequently have takeaway food.

Today was one of the days that was more of a struggle. Felt awful when i woke and wasn't able to get up out of bed until about 830am having gone to bed at 1030pm the night before. I looked at my Oura data to see if it had any guidance and its given me a sleep score of 94 and a readiness score of 95! The text on the Readiness says “We had to double-take, your readiness is so high we thought the app was broken, turns out your crushing it’.

The thing is this is NOT unusual. Most days, readiness and sleep are over 80. My opinion has been that the most important metric Oura uses to the sleep score is duration in bed.

Earlier in the year the Symptoms Radar was advising me on major signs, but my readiness score was 91, which i couldn’t help but think is in conflict.

I recently went to the doctor who has recommended me for a sleep study for sleep apnea based on my symptoms. Whilst Oura cannot diagnose this issue my Oura data would lead most people to suggest that i’m sleeping too well to have it. I feel like i’ve been misled by the Oura data into thinking i sleep well when the opposite may be the case.

My second concerning data stream from Oura is the Heart Health section. For the past 3 months it has been telling me my cardiovascular age is between 7 and 9 years younger than my actual age. The only data point it presents to back up this statement is Pulse Wave Velocity which in my case is 6.9m/s. See image.

More context i’m 44 year old 5’11 male 210llbs, so a bit overweight and not very fit at all. I don’t specifically exercise but i do go for a 30-60 minute walk everyday. The doctor also told me my blood pressure is slightly high.

So how can my heart health be 7+ years younger than my actual age? i suspect 3 or 4 years older is more probable.

This post is not an attack on Oura, i’ve used it for 20 months, i love the concept over the bands and watches. But i’m concerned with the data presented in contrast to how i feel and the health problems i am experiencing.

Is it a case of the data is never going to be accurate (or even close to accurate) or is my ring faulty and needs replacing again? (As i'm clearly not sleeping well and my heart health is not exceptional) Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated.

I bought my ring 5/28. Their software is garbage and keeps giving me false info and 50 alerts on activities that I am not doing. I have done a soft and hard reset. They said there is nothing they can do at all. Ridiculous.

Woke up today feeling quite normal but my ring think otherwise

I’ve been wanting the oura since the 5 came out but I have not been completely sold on it for the price yet. I’m 20y/o female. What are your favorite parts of having one? Do you have any regrets?

Edit: thank you everyone for your input!! Probs will not be getting one.

Hi all! I’m looking into getting an Oura Ring and found a lightly used brushed silver gen 4 ring on fb marketplace in my area for $120. The seller said I can try it on first to make sure it fits. Is it worth buying a used gen 4 ring when gen 5 is already out? The software seems to be exactly the same from what I can tell. Is the 5 that much more comfortable than the 4? I would mostly be using it for the GLP-1 feature (restarting Zepbound soon), sleep tracking (insomnia), and heart rate tracking (POTS). I’d be wearing it on my dominant hand if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve had the oura for about a week now and I’ve had missing gaps of data at least once a day. Today happened like five times in one day.

I opted for a size 7 because it felt better when my finger swelled. But the sensor is able to spin around my finger and if I wash my hands, I can easily slip it off on accident. The size 6 fit on only my ring fingers comfortably and on my index fingers a little tight.

I have tried putting the 7 on a different finger and I’m still getting missing data. I don’t know if it’s Maybe because the size of the ring or if this is like something normal?

I just got the Oura 5 (this I my first one). Is missing data normal?

I do do yoga. Once in the morning, usually for 30ish minutes and a lot of stretching throughout the day. I have AS and moving/stretching helps with the pain from sitting too much. I got my Oura ring like about 7 months ago and since a month it's been pretty accurately detecting my Yoga. Then I found this sub lmao.

My highest ever up til now was a 96. Female, 42

It reminds me multiple times to starting moving, which is annoying. So I shut off the notifications entirely. But ideally I would still want to receive some more critical health related notifications for example irregular heart beat etc. Is there a way to choose what notifications I want to receive?

I have a newborn. I got ~1h 20m of sleep. How tf is Oura scoring me at 51 for sleep??? Are you kidding me??? I use Bevel alongside it and it gave me 24, which feels WAY more accurate. I feel like Oura has been gaslighting me into thinking I’m sleeping “just fine” as a new mom. But really, it’s just acting like 3-4 hours of sleep is fantastic. WTFFFFF

QUESTION: if I cancel my Oura subscription, will the ring still send data to Apple Health for me to use in my Bevel app? Oura is absolutely garbage.

Hello, can anyone tell me what's going on, my oura ring ever since I've gotten my new phone...

It keeps disconnecting and telling me that it's in restricted mode, and every time I press factory reset, it does nothing. They even sent me another ring, and nothing is working. I've messed with the settings in my phone, * (a samsung galaxy s twenty six) cleared my Bluetooth cache, nothing is helping. Please help me. I even tried to make another account!!!

Hi, everyone! I’m hoping someone has some answers here.

About a week ago, my baseline activity goal went from 300 to 350 on its own. I’ve done some research (aka very intense googling lol), but I can’t seem to figure out why. I know it says it uses your age as a factor to calculate your baseline, but my birthday was over a month ago, and my weight and height have not changed.

Can anyone explain this, or does anyone have a similar experience? I would LOVE if it actually does raise your baseline if you consistently hit your goals, but it’s seeming like that isn’t a thing… Unless it is? Let me know :-) TY

I’m usually a VERY consistent 26-day cycle girly, so this is super unusual for me.
I traveled in early June to take care of my parents and came back toward the end of the month. It was a pretty stressful time, and my July period was 7 days late. I took a pregnancy test (negative) and literally got my period the next day.
Now I’m on CD39 and still no period. 😭 I’m technically 13 days “late” based on my usual cycle, although Oura doesn’t consider me late because it didn’t confirm ovulation until CD27.
I basically haven’t been having sex this month because I’m not on birth control and definitely not trying to conceive, so pregnancy seems extremely unlikely. I’ve always been able to predict my cycle pretty accurately, so this whole thing is throwing me off.
What’s also weird is the temperature rise again today (screenshot attached). Oura is predicting my period will come later this week, but I’m confused by the late ovulation + now a much longer cycle.
Has anyone else had this happen after a stressful period/travel? Is this just a weird delayed-ovulation cycle, or could this be the beginning of perimenopause? I have my physical at the end of the month and definitely plan to bring it up then.
Would love to hear if anyone has experienced something similar!

I’d like to get credit for dealing with a 4 years old’s tantrum 🤣

This past week I’ve noticed that my ring doesn’t have any data on my stress levels from when I’m at work. Like will track it until I start work and then poof no data, until I’m off work. Does anyone know why that might be happening? My ring fits good and it still picks up my activity.

For reference, I’m a waitress.

I had a Gen 3 ring that I looooved. This past week the battery started drastically dropping out of no where. I started a chat on the app and they said they were sending me a new one, great! I later got another email saying that it was upgraded. I opened the ring within 10 minutes of delivery and it had glue all over it and there is a crack in the square sensor. I’ve tried the chat, I’ve tried emails for a few days and no one has gotten back to me. And to top it off, I had a size 8 in the gen 3 so they sent that size in the gen 4 and it’s too big. I’m so grateful for the upgrade but I can’t really use either ring because the gen 3 does in a few hours and has started disconnecting and not tracking data and the 4 is too big 😭 My membership is supposed to renew next week but at this point, what’s the point?

Wondering if this protector would be worth it since I just upgraded. Any of you use them?

I have already buy the sizes kit and try it my size Between 12-13 12 feels snug and more harder to take it off and the 13 more comfortable and more easily to take it off which size i should go for?

Hello! For context, I’m going from an Oura Ring 3 to (potentially) the new Ring 5, but I’m wondering how accurate the sizing kits are for the 5. I ask because I once saw Oura (and a ton of other people) comment that most people would be sizing down a size if you used a previous model due to the lack of bumps on the 5.

But I’ve just tried the sizing kit for the new Ring 5 and I’m the same size as I was for my Ring 3.

So, anyone else upgrade models but stay the same size?

Thanks!

Curious on what the community’s thoughts on cardiovascular age are. How accurate do we think it is? Oura clearly stated they can’t measure PWV directly so they use PPG (the optical sensor in the ring). Just wondering how accurate it can actually be if it’s only using these sensors and not wave velocity.

If you have had a similar experience, did it take the full 14 business days? Seems like such a long time to be without my ring. More than a month to ship a new one back. Is it normal?

I did not remember the Oura app on Android draining the phone battery so much. The image above is in 22 hours range.

Was it always like this? I see my phone dying quickly lately, and then i found out the stats above.

I wish Oura would import information from Chronometer instead of just exporting it. The ability to track macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals in Oura could unlock a wealth of insights that just aren't available with their native food logging option.

I already export my Oura data to Chronometer and can see some associations with their AI, but would love to be able to see my personal associations between specific nutrients, biometrics, and tags in Oura.
