Ultra-low power indeed: I often get 6+ days of use before having to recharge. I’ve been very happy with mine; the sleep tracking seems quite consistent with my subjective experience, and the activity/exercise detection matches closely with the data from my Apple Watch.
- voisin 6y agoI have an Apple Watch that I wear overnight and have a sleep tracking app. Have you compared your ring to your watch to see if they report similar results? I have been considering the ring for HRV tracking (the Apple Watch only tracks HRV at random times when you are still, whereas the ring apparently tracks continuously) but also wondered if the sleep tracking is superior. Thoughts?
- bradleyankrom 6y agoI started wearing an Oura ring about 10 days ago, and I’ve continued wearing my Apple Watch at night to compare the data collected by the ring and a couple of apps I use (AutoSleep and Pillow). Feel free to send along any specific questions (email is on my profile) about how they compare.
- onlydnaq 6y agoIt's worth to know that the watch also tracks HRV whenever you use the Breathe app, so if you want to get consistent HRV readings the easiest way is to use Breathe once a day (for example right when you wake up).
- trollied 6y agoWould you recommend it? I've looked at them a few times & have been close to buying one a few times.
- fanttazio 6y agoI'd totally recommend if you want to form a healthy sleeping habit. It helped me understand my body a lot and put me in the right direction in terms of having quality sleep. The activity tracker in my opinion is good and a bonus but not as important as sleep tracking
- theshrike79 6y agoI've had mine for about 6 months now and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in sleep tracking. As others have said, watches and other devices are better for generic activity tracking, but the Oura ring is just so easy to wear to bed. No worrying about battery life or sweaty wrists. The readiness and sleep scores the ring gives me are pretty much on point every time and make it easy to quantify your sleep to actual numbers you can compare with other data.
- Hamuko 6y agoSo it basically consumes 3-4 mAh a day? That's crazy little.
- gregwebs 6y agoI love the aura ring. AFAIK it is clearly the best non-intrusive sleep tracker and I would recommend it to anyone for sleep tracking. But in my experience the activity tracking is horrible because the ring achieves low power consumption by being off most of the time. I would suggest using a different device for daytime activity tracking.
- gambiting 6y agoSerious question - what is sleep tracking useful for? While I can see the benefit of tracing activity, I have no idea why would I want to track my sleep. I fall asleep, I wake up, what is there to track? Or rather, even if it tells me that I had a period of less/more movement during the night, what kind of actionable information can you possibly get out of it?
- sprucely 6y agoIt allowed me to identify food intolerances that had a significant impact on my sleep.
- hkeide 6y agoVery cool, mind sharing some? Others may have the same.
- sprucely 6y agoSorry for the late reply. For me it was Fructose and Sulfites. See my above comment for more details.
- Tronno 6y agoI am struggling with a similar problem (food, and gas in particular, affecting my sleep) and was wondering if you'd be willing to share more about your experience.
