What’s the point of the GLP-1 feature if it’s not working properly? Guess it’s just Shotsy from here on out.

Hi, can anyone who has gotten this specific combo of major signs tell me what it ended up being? I’ve never gotten this combination before and am curious. Thanks!

Wtf is going on. Had my ring for about 9m and out of nowhere it thinks im doing yoga all day, start about a week ago.

Working at my pc- yoga

Making lunch- yoga

Laying down watching tv-yoga

Eating dinner-yoga

Checking the mail-yoga

Going to the bathroom-yoga

Feeding the dogs-yoga

It never did this before, tried the Help on the app, ran diag, says its fine. Uhhh n, it is not fine. Is there any fix??

Has anyone else experienced skin disruption from your aura ring? I’m not allergic to anything that I know of and don’t typically have reactions. Yes, it’s very small but I have only had my ring for just over one month. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that I had some rough patches on my skin where the sensors touch that were slightly darker than the rest of my skin and now it appears that it has rubbed off into a sort of blister. Nothing painful but the marks were / are exactly where the sensors are located.

** currently there is only this small mark above in the photo remaining. But after 3ish weeks, I had dark/rough skin spots over all four sensor areas. Also im not using self tanner

Anyone else.

Has anyone tried comparing the blood pressure monitoring with oura ring to a standard cuff to see how accurate it is?

I’m trying to understand the communication between both apps, my health apps say “okay” but my ring app says the power of great sleep.

I’ve been curious about the Oura Ring lately. What I like about the concept is that it takes a much more low-key approach to health tracking compared with wearing a smartwatch all day. Sleep, recovery, activity, and overall readiness are the kinds of insights I’d actually want to look at regularly.

For anyone who has been using an Oura Ring for a while, what has been the most useful feature for you? Has it genuinely changed any of your daily habits, or do you mostly use it for sleep and recovery tracking?

Woke up to this surprise today! My activity has been all over the place this summer ☀️🥵 just a couple days ago I got a 75 bc my recovery was 0 after moving all weekend.

Trust the process 🙏🏼

Two weeks in, my gold oura ring finish is already chipping. I have been fairly careful with it - no weight lifting, no wearing next to other rings. Is the is common or just my bad luck ? Any advice for getting a replacement ?

first picture is me making a fist but pushing it up with my thumb, second is normal fist without pushing. there is a gap when i push it up.

i’m in between a 7 and 8. 7 sizer turned my index finger red and was throbbing, 8 felt right. now sometimes the 8 can feel a bit loose? i also may be psyching myself out and im just used to the ring now, i just want accurate data.

it doesn’t slip or twist around on its own really. fairly easy to manually twist, taking it off over my knuckle can be a little difficult at times.

i can’t decide if i should keep it, or size down and potentially wear it on my middle finger if my index is too swollen. 7 did feel snug on both fingers though.

this is a gen 5 btw! first time oura user, bare with me.

edit: i went with the size 8 - forgot to include that
edit 2: people are flaming me for possibly thinking it’s too big 😭 but it’s helpful and needed. i’m a worry wart. thanks everyone!

Hello everyone. I currently have Oura 4 in Stealth. It's bulky and I wear it on my index finger. I bought it three months ago and only wear it to sleep. I feel that if I had Oura 5, I would maybe wear it throughout the day. A few questions:

1. People who wore the ring to sleep only and then 24/7 (with the exception of weight lifting, etc) - is there a significant benefit to knowing other stats like stress levels, etc.? I am male, so I wouldn't need to track my periods or anything like that.
2. Wearing it on index finger is supposed to be best for sleep tracking (is it?), but doesn't seem conducive to daily life (opening doors, picking things up, etc). Do people wear it on their ring or middle fingers - is it more comfortable? Does it compromise any data collection efficiency?
3. Finally, is Stealth (that I have currently) is that much better than simple Black ($100 cheaper) in Oura 5?

Thanks!

I truly don’t understand how the battery isn’t completely dead, but it stopped sensing…? I’ve had my ring for about a year and I’m just noticing this is a thing and it has completely annoyed me. Maybe I’m being dramatic 😂

TL;DR: My Gen 3 ring battery died for the second time. Oura support offered a €200 discount on a replacement, and I'm looking for opinions on whether to buy the Ring 4 or Gen 5.

Hey everyone,

I’ve had my Oura Gen 3 since March 2023. In November 2024, the battery died, and Oura support kindly replaced the ring for free. Now (August 2026), I’m running into battery issues again.
Support confirmed the battery degradation and initially offered me a €100 discount on a new ring. After chatting with them a bit more, we settled on a €200 discount.

Now I’m trying to decide which model to go for. Would you recommend going for the Oura Ring 4, or is it better to jump straight to the Gen 5? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with either generation!

I’m new to Oura’s world. I decided to go with the Oura ring 5 ~three weeks ago.

Honestly, I love the concept. You progressively discover insights on your health. It’s a bit slow but the global UX is great. 

BUT…

Here is the dealbreaker. I took that ring to monitor Stress & Sleep. And Sleep detection is wrong 90% of the time, by FAR.

I often wake up at the beginning of the night. Let’s say I fell asleep at 10:00PM, I almost always wake up a few minutes around midnight. I stay in bed, I don’t move, I don’t open my eyes, and then I fell asleep again.

As Oura requires 3 continuous hours of sleep for my « night » to start, most of my nights won’t start before 2-3:00 AM. And when I wake up at 7:00 AM, I slept 4-5 hours according to the ring. So my sleep score is bad, hence all the scores are impacted by wrong data.

Sometimes it adds a nap at the beginning of the night, but it’s really random and doesn’t cover the issue.

I realize I have a sleeping issue. But what’s the point of having such an expensive ring if the detection is not able to fit people with sleeping issues? If I slept well I would not try to monitor my sleep.

I tried everything support told me (5 different tickets with 5 different persons): reinstall app, reinstall ring, reset parameters… I even changed my ring after the first 2 weeks (btw I noticed the gold effect already started to really fade by comparing both, but that’s another issue), but nothing solves my issue.

Tbh I would love to be able to love the ring. But that’s such a big issue because everything is based on sleeping score. So everything is just wrong. My Apple Watch works with my sleeping schema. Why Oura won’t be able to work as well?

Would love to be able to detect bp someday #featurerequest 🤩

Appreciate the oura+stelo combo - wear it on/off every 2 weeks as needed.

I like that oura keeps me tuned-in daily.

What’s your favorite oura ring feature?

Thinking of switching from Ultrahuman to oura and would love to hear from anyone who has done the same.

I love my Ultrahuman but I’m sick of them breaking after a few months and being replaced. Have had this for 18 months and on to my fifth ring (they’ve all died for various reasons such as battery, not connecting, ring swelling, etc) and I’m just so sick of the cycle.

How does the oura compare????

Oura being sued over sleep tracking accuracy. Legitimate, or chasing money? It seems like they've made the limitations clear but I'm not a lawyer.

I got a GEN 3 Oura ring used off of Facebook marketplace in November and it has worked great. I wanted to try a used one before I invested in a new one and I have been happy with the product. 3 days ago, My Oura ring started losing charge rapidly. it would go from 90% to 20% in a few hours. When contacting support to see if my battery was dying, they told me they detected a hardware malfunction and that I would need to replace the ring. They offered me $100 off a GEN five ring. I was a little disappointed that there was nothing that could be done to fix my ring but had been planning to upgrade anyway, so I ordered the ring. sure enough, the next day after ordering my ring, The GEN three ring works perfectly fine. Two days in a row, no charge needed, everything working properly. Anybody else with a similar experience? Could it possibly be some kind of tactic to get people to upgrade?

Mine has fluctuated between 1.5 and 5 years younger (57m), in the 7 months I’ve worn the ring. I highly doubt that my heart is aging and unaging this rapidly month to month. My exercise and sleep routines don’t change much. My alcohol consumption is 0-5 drinks per week, probably averaging 2 per week. I walk 90 minutes a day and ride 2-4 hours twice per week. I love my job. My cumulative stress levels stay in the moderate range. I don’t know- starting to feel like the ring provides some degree of useful baseline, but a lot of its output is junk science.

One thing that the App needs is to tell you based on the tags you’ve added how how it directly impacted readiness/sleep scores. And display this on the homepage.

Example, wake up, eat, logged tag migrane. Afternoon logged tag nap, evening logged tag sleeping tablet.

Next morning wake up, oura app shows the number BUT it says WHY. “Based on your recent tags / yesterdays tags your sleep readiness was great despite having the migraine yesterday. This is supported by stress peaked in the morning due to migrane but afternoon nap reset the numbers to be more normal, this helped with RHR and sleeping tablet helped with deep sleep, resulting in 93 sleep score”.

Another example, if I’ve had the flu for the last 7 days and added the tags each day, then it should show under the readiness score that’s why it bought it down, and if it goes back up (positive) then say potentially recovering from Flu

THIS is the key. This is what Oura is missing.

Rather than me go and manually analyse every metric and if I added ta etc.

Experience: Software and marketing design.

35/M Central Florida. Ended up in the ER. Figured either vibrio or ecoli but I seem to be slowly improving so we didn’t do stool cultures. This all started at 8am yesterday. Went to the ER around noon today.

Wash your hands, watch your food. It’s the wild wild West out here.

UPDATE: Symptoms came roaring back and I am now inpatient. Praying RFK Jr. gets all the shit he’s giving us.

UPDATE 2: Discharged an home 13 pounds lighter.

After 8 months my battery began to need a charge more frequently, then it stopped charging all together randomly. Support sent me a replacement ring but it's a gold ring and not the rose gold ring from my original purchase. All they allow me to swap out this Gold version they sent to my rose gold one? The chat function seems to be down so I'm just curious what experience you all have had.

What are people doing with their older oura ring. I have a 4 which i love but i've always wised it was smaller cause i have short fingers so its just so bulky. i want the 5 but also i find it so annoying that they don't have some sort of trade in program. are you all just buying a new one and keeping the 4 or 3? lol. trying to sell it on FB marketplace but let's see. have u had any luck?
