Should I just not?
I was gifted an Oura Ring 4 Size 7 secondhand. I’ve had it for about a week now, and I really love the ring. The me motivates me to keep moving the day and push myself towards new goals.
The battery, however, has SIGNIFICANTLY degraded in the past week. When I first got the ring, the battery would last 2 to 3 days, which was below average, but nothing to fuss about. Now, a week into having it, it doesn’t even last a full day.
I always put the ring on the charger when I get ready in the morning, and when I get ready for bed at night. Yesterday, I left the ring on the charger while I went to work, and between last night to when I woke up this morning the battery was down to 16%.
I emailed Oura, they indicated that there is a battery defect, but they can’t issue me a replacement. Obviously I was disappointed, but again I really liked the product initially and want to keep using it.
But after reading about all of the issues here, and seeing so little reviews on the 5, I’m so hesitant to purchase one new at full price and just run into the same issues. The battery problems are so widespread and so severe that it really discourages me from buying the product.
So does anyone have any info to convince me otherwise? I kind of want to be convinced otherwise.
