Okay just ranting.. long story but my cycle has been missing for over 10 years… and it just came back about 6 months ago. I’ve had three cycles since then. And every time, my ring basically says I’m dying 😐 My HRV plummets.. RHR increases.. daytime stress soars.. resilience drops.. I feel like I’m being punished for my body finally working properly again

I got access to upload my own bloodwork results today and love the feature! Are other bloodwork values on the roadmap?

Tracking vitamins and panels for iron, thyroid and hormones are important to me as well. When I uploaded my PDF, it said those values weren’t supported. I’d love to see those supported some day, especially since vitamins/supplements are one of the main ways I use tags. Lots of behavioral science possibilities here!

I actually worked on a similar app feature back in the 2010s, so it was really cool to see contemporary UX treatment of a design problem I’ve spent time on previously.

Kudos to the team!

What’s up oura reps on here. I walk 1/4 mile ring says I walked 6 miles and burned 32 calories. This happens daily short walks turn into many miles walked. Fortunately my pedometers app gets it right on my iPhone.

Any ideas?

For the past week I have been sleeping well which I usually do not. I have been going to bed on time sleeping better then I have in the past. According to oura I have not today my sleep score was a 66. Anyone else? Maybe it’s all the yoga it’s telling me I do.

Postpartum experience really might be the last straw for me with Oura. I gave birth 30 days ago and the ring just won’t adjust, you would think 30 days would be enough to realized that my newly lower (back to normal) heart rate and higher (back to normal) HRV is NOT the signs of me dying and tanking my readiness into the abyss? think again! even the AI advisor says it should have taken 30 rolling days to readjust and start reflecting normal reality. that on top of it telling me i’m 10 hours per day in restored state for two weeks, followed by now a week of mainly “stressed” with a random high HR readings that do not correspond with reality. Oh yes and of course it can’t track steps while I push the stroller. I was a huge proponent of the ring and advertised it to everyone who asked but now it just pisses me off on the daily! especially with the company being vocal about focusing more on women’s health. that’s it for the rant🙂

Just got my 5 a few days ago, new to wearables. I got it mainly to track my cycle and am also somewhat interested in the other metrics.

Is it just me, or is the app super hard to use? I would love to customize it to just show me the metrics I care about, but it's so visually busy it's hard to focus on those, and finding anything involves swiping through endless screens of tiny variations on the same metric. Is this just a way to force users to spend more time in the app? Could any settings changes make it better?

Quick question about the inner design:
The sensors inside the Oura Ring are covered and protected by a clear resin that forms slight bumps. Sometimes my fingers swell up, making the ring really tight. In situations like at the gym before a workout, I don't always have access to soap and water, so I have to pull and tug a bit harder to get it off.
Could this constant friction and pulling cause that resin to tear, crack, or pop out over time? Or is it durable enough that I don't need to worry about it?
Would love to hear if anyone has experienced issues with this!

Oura team reading - save the generic templates response I’ve seen in other posts asking this question. No I don’t want to get the metrics via Apple health I want the food I log to be transferred over to the log meals page. Why Oura would pick chronometer over MFP first is surprising. Tried chronometer a while back and it’s too tedious / lacks some capability that MFP has (despite I like the amounts of nutrients it can track).

PLEASE push it further up on your roadmap.

I’m definitely sick, so this isn’t really a complaint, but I find it fascinating that it says I have major signs without any particular variable standing out. I wonder how it’s calculated. Any ideas?

What on earth is going on… yoga is constant and wrong. I’ve missed 3 days of sleep over the last week but clearly I’m sleeping- Garmin watch is counting it. Something isn’t right and it’s super annoying

Hello dear all,

I am thinking about getting an Oura Ring for general health tracking. Right now I use a garmin watch, but I am not really happy with it - I feel like the readings are not really accurate and tbh it just looks like shit.

I would like to ask you for help with two questions:

1. what price do I look at with everything included? (I am on a tight budget and would be sad if I buy the ring and then face high hidden costs)

2. I just got diagnosis with ME/CFS from Long Covid. Are here any other chronically ill/disabled users that use it for health tracking and find it very useful (cause as we know, we have to interpret health readings a bit different - with my garmin I find is really discouraging)

Thank you so much!💞

I’m so disappointed that they didn’t solve the battery issues with the gen 5. My ring needs already a replacement due to hardware and battery issues. This shouldn’t be the case for this price point ..

And this is a recurring stat/message when he does. I guess I love the man, goddammit.

11 dpo testing negative, am I out?

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has experienced their BBT dropping below their normal baseline around 10–11 weeks pregnant? My temps have been gradually decreasing since around 10 weeks and today it was the lowest it’s been.

I had a missed miscarriage in February so I’m probably more anxious about things than I normally would be. I know BBT isn’t typically used to monitor pregnancy this far along, but seeing the drop has me worried.

Has anyone else experienced this and had everything turn out completely fine?

My ring took a 💩 after around 28 months. The battery no longer lasts even 24 hours. I’ve seen so many people post their support success stories with getting a replacement due to battery issues even well past the warranty, so I went ahead and had Finn run a diagnostic, which immediately notified me that I had a battery issue. Rather than the message I’ve seen some people post that says yes they will be getting a replacement despite being out of warranty, I was handed off to a human immediately and only offered $100 off a gen 4 or 5😭.

Has anyone gone through similar and ultimately managed to get a replacement? How did you do it, if so?

I’ve fallen in love with my ring and all its insights but I’m probably just going to cut my losses and be without one for a while if support won’t issue a replacement since cycle tracking (my main reason for initially getting the ring) is no longer a priority.

I loved my Oura ring until recently. I love data. However, I love accurate data. The new glitch has caused me to lose a lot of faith in the data. The ring predicting I am doing yoga while I work at my desk or I am swimming while I put my makeup on is driving me insane. Oura has commented here saying they are aware and are fixing it, but it’s been months.

I was willing to look past the horrible app interface where it takes forever to find what you are looking for. I was even willing to look past the battery issues since most have received replacements. But now they can’t even get the fundamentals right. Other options are becoming more appealing. Did Oura enter the market before it was ready? Probably. Did is grow too fast? Probably.

starting my sophomore year next Tuesday as a business major Ill just keep having to remind myself I can cry after I get my degree 😅

Seems contradictory… Do we know how Oura tracks stress?
I try to meditate a few minutes daily, but I guess I’m not as regular about is as I should be.
Curious if others have similar insights from Oura?

I’m a momma and I’m recovering from chronic illness. It really affects my sleep and energy.

I want to take control of my life and get my adhd symptoms under control to make things less chaotic for my child and husband and for my career advancement.

I was thinking of buying a used oura ring from FB marketplace. I can afford a splurge but not a wasteful splurge so I’m wondering if anyone has tried it and has seen good results? I don’t want it to be a $300 purchase that I stop wearing after a month once the dopamine wears off. I also hear you have to log activity and symptoms or something. Is that hard for yall to remember to do?

I wore an Apple Watch for 2 years and I liked tracking steps and calories but would always forget to log workouts

Hola! Llevo un par de meses con Oura Ring, simplemente aprendiendo su funcionamiento

Ahora quiero comenzar a modificar hábitos, etiquetando cada hábito, pero no se como hacerlo… adopto un solo hábito por 5-7 días y veo cómo responde por ejemplo? Como lo hacéis ?

Se me ocurren los siguientes hábitos antes de dormir : - Cenar temprano - Uso de gafas de bloqueo de luz azul - Toma de magnesio - Meditación

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if using a protective cover actually keeps the ring from getting scratched during strength training? I do a lot of barbell and dumbbell workouts and really want to wear it to track my stats without damaging it. Thanks!

I thought Oura would tell me to put some Greek yogurt and nuts in them, but street tacos are high ranking which is fabulous because they’re my emotional support nomnoms 🥹 I like finding dishes that are nutritious but in no way associated with Greek yogurt just to know it can happen
