r/ouraring

I come to you from my Enlightened state. My YOGA practice has reached its pinnacle as per the ring. I practice most of the day and periodically in the middle of the night. I don’t even know I’m doing it. Maybe I’m not…. It’s odd.

What advice can I give? What have I learned on my journey?

Listen to your body. Not the ring.

Namaste. 🧘🙏

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?

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🙂

I recently started tirzepatide and have noticed that my Oura cardiovascular age has gradually moved in the wrong direction over a relatively short period. My estimated PWV has gone from roughly the low 6s to 6.5 m/s, and my cardiovascular age has shifted from around 5-ish years younger than my actual age to 3.5 years younger.

I’ve also noticed that I’m eating significantly less since starting tirzepatide, and lately I haven’t felt like I’m recovering from exercise as well. Yesterday I did a late workout with running and weights after not eating very much during the day, and my heart felt like it was pounding more than usual. My resting HR also seems a little higher than my normal baseline.

I’m going to discuss this with my doctor, so I’m not looking for a diagnosis. I’m mainly curious about other people’s experiences:
Has anyone who tracks Oura PWV/CVA noticed it change after starting tirzepatide?
Did your resting HR change?
Did increasing calories, carbs, fluids/electrolytes, or adjusting exercise intensity make a difference?
If your PWV/CVA changed initially, did it eventually return toward baseline as your body adjusted?
I’m particularly interested in people who have Oura data from before and after starting tirzepatide.

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.

Hey! I somewhat luckily qualified for a free lifetime subscription to Oura when I purchased the early Generation 3 launch back in 2021.

My Oura Ring 3 has been broken for over a year (won’t charge), and is well past any free replacement date… I wonder now, 5 years since buying my Oura Ring 3, is it worth me buying an Oura 4 or 5, as I don’t have to pay the subscription fee? Or are there other Smart Rings that would be a better option now?

5 weeks pregnant as of today and wokeup with minor signs of strain due to my increased respiration rate. I know this is a biometric that steadily increases the first trimester but is it normal to get strain notification? or does it mean something bad is coming.

Thank you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is your daily sleep need? Mine is usually around 7h3m.. but I usually get a little less than 7h per night, usually around 6h50m. I feel great during the day and my body wakes up naturally at that time. But I feel like it’s pretty low??

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.

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?

I currently have an Apple Watch, which I love as it provides me with a lot of health information. However, I feel like a lot of that data is really hard to access, and I really like the way the Oura app displays the information especially with readiness and stress. Is it worth the 400 dollar purchase of an oura ring to complement my apple watch? What other features would the Oura 5 offer me?
