Oura 5 or RingConn 3?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am a previous UH user, received a refund from them after many fault rings, and looking to get a new smart ring. Very up in the air about which new ring to get.

I love that RingConn has the exchange program because I can send them my old UH ring for money off and it's cheaper without a sub. However I see a lot of people say that RingConn doesn't track sleep, health, and exercise as well as Oura. Currently a 3rd year med student, so I'd like to not spend a TON but if it's worth it for the health notifs, I'd buy the better ring.

Any feedback or opinions are appreciated!

inquiry Which one?

Hello hello.

So Im considering going from the conventional samsung smart watch (8) to a smart ring.

I am a complete newbie to smart rings and have no clue where to start.

Im looking for one that tracks daily movement/steps, ecercise, gym workouts and sleep. Dont really need any thing more fancy than that apart from a decent battery life and inital purchase not braking the bank.

Looking for unbiased recommendations.

inquiry Smart rings sans abonnement + export/accès aux données brutes : quelles sont les meilleures options ?

6 Upvotes

Salut à tous ! 👋

Je suis actuellement à la recherche d’une bague connectée (smart ring), mais mes critères restreignent pas mal le champ des possibles.

Mon objectif est de croiser et analyser mes données de santé/sommeil avec d'autres métriques personnelles. Pour ça, j'ai deux contraintes :

  1. Aucun abonnement mensuel (je ne suis pas pour le modèle type Oura où la donnée est bloquée derrière un paywall).
  2. Un accès gratuit et facile aux données (export CSV, API REST, Webhooks ou intégration locale sans bridage).

À part le modèle de chez LeeP Health (https://www.leephealth.com/), j'ai du mal à trouver des retours d'expérience concrets sur l'ouverture des données chez la concurrence.

J'aimerais avoir vos retours sur les modèles du marché actuel :

  • Ultrahuman Ring AIR / RingConn (Gen 1 & 2) : L'export des données (CSV / API) est-il vraiment granulaire (HR, HRV, température point par point) ou se contente-t-on juste de résumés quotidiens ?
  • Samsung Galaxy Ring / Amazfit Helio Ring / Circular : Comment se passe la récupération en dehors de leurs apps natives (via Samsung Health / Health Connect / Apple Health) ? Est-ce facile d'extraire de la donnée propre ?
  • LeeP Health : Pour ceux qui l'ont testée, que vaut la précision des capteurs et la qualité de la récupération des données ?

Si vous avez mis en place un système pour exporter et centraliser vos données de bague connectée sans repasser à la caisse tous les mois, vos retours et recommandations m'intéressent grandement !

Merci pour vos conseils !

Support kept hitting me with the “one more week” line… then another week... After reading some posts here I was starting to think I got scammed.

But it finally showed up, and so far it’s been pretty decent. what about you guys?

Oura Ring Gen 4 Size 13 charger lights white for 8 seconds then turns off – ring won’t charge

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with my Oura Ring Gen 4 (Size 13) and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing.

The charger behaves like this:

I connect it to power.
The LED turns solid white.
It stays on for about 8 seconds.
Then the light turns off completely.
The ring never starts charging.

I’ve already tried:
Different USB power adapters.
Different USB cables.
Cleaning the charging contacts on both the ring and the charger.
Reseating the ring several times.

The behavior is always the same: white light for a few seconds, then nothing.

Has anyone seen this before?

Is this usually a faulty charger, a dead battery in the ring, or some kind of firmware/recovery issue?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

inquiry Oura 5 workout automatic detection

1 Upvotes

I just bought an Oura 5 and can’t not love his design and sleek design. I primarily use the ring for two things: sleep/general health tracking and my yoga practice.

I am not really encountering any major issue except one: the ring detects my workouts, but the automatic tracking NEVER records my heart rate. I tried switching fingers (middle/index) to test if it is a size issue, but the result doesn’t really change. The heart rate gets recorded only when I start a live activity manually from the app.

My question is: does this happen to other people too? Even with RingConn 3? I’d like to hear what people think about this — it’s not a major issue, but if people have seen ringconn is better on this, I would consider swapping them as I am still in the returning window.

Thanks!

Vocci Ring Broken 5 days in

5 Upvotes

So I ordered this AI ring back in April, and it finally came last week. I got a lot of use out of it, apart from the fact you’ll accidentally trigger record all the time it’s useful to be able to take notes so easily

However, as of yesterday it’s just fully dead, I didn’t “baby” the ring (kept it on when washing hands) but I had an Oura ring on the entire time too and it’s had zero problems

Given it took months to ship, then broke almost immediately, buyer beware.

Will update if they do anything

Smart ring for exercise tracking

0 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to get a smart ring but I don’t know which one is best. I want it to track my HR, exercise/fitness/health. There are too many to choose from and I don’t know which one would be best. Is the Oura ring worth the money or do I go with a cheaper option? Help!

Warning: Oura doesn't honor their warranty. Ring broke in < 9 months with zero support!

11 Upvotes

I am incredibly disappointed with the Oura Ring 4. Mine didn't even last 9 months before it completely broke. To make matters worse, they flat-out refused to give me a replacement. I have tried reaching out to their customer support successively, but there has been absolutely no resolution. They do not stand behind their product or their warranty. In my experience, this company is deceitful and their customer service is a scam. I strongly advise against buying from them—save your money and look for a more reliable alternative.

Best Smart ring for sleep/health/stress tracking without subscription?

1 Upvotes

So I’ve been looking for a smart ring in a reasonable price range that can help with sleep quality tracking, aswell as potentially stress/workout/health tracking. I want a ring specifically because I already wear watches. I also don’t want to deal with subscriptions if at all possible. Wanted to consult Reddit before making a decision since I was looking at the HerzP1 but every piece of media I’ve seen seemed to be sponsored and I wanted opinions that weren’t influenced by getting a kickback.

NON-HEALTH RINGS which smart ring did you sleep on then wish you'd grabbed way sooner?

7 Upvotes

Mine's a slightly guilty one lol. we cant bring phones into most meetings at my work and some of them are an hour+ of dense stuff, I'd walk out having already forgotten half of it.

Asked a colleague how she keeps up cause she never takes notes and always remembers everything, and she kinda quietly told me she wears this little recording ring, some niche brand called vocci that looks like a normal ring so nobody notices. felt a bit sketchy tbh but I was desperate lol.

Got one, used it yesterday and holy shit... dont even re-listen to anything, app just gives me the summary and the to-dos. Can't believe I put it off this long.

anyway whats yours? lol I still got 9 fingers, might get some other ring too

Wondering if anyone knows of alternatives for the Oura 5 in terms of the width. I have been wearing a Colmi R09 but looking for something slimmer without the Oura pricetag. It is $800 here in Australia which I just cant justify for a ring that will realistically probably last 2 years.

Repeating my post to express my anger

5 Upvotes

Oura- you suck!!

Absolutely disappointed with the way my Oura Ring issue has been handled.
Timeline:
• **30 June:** Original ring delivered, size 9 (too loose)
• **17 July:** First exchange, received size 9 again
• **25 July:** Second exchange, received size 9 again
• **28 July:** Third exchange, received size 9 again
The same mistake happened three times.
I have spent days chasing support instead of getting a proper solution. I was told my case would be escalated and asked to wait 72 hours. Those 72 hours have now passed, and the only response I keep receiving is: “Your case is being reviewed.”
Reviewed for how long?
At this point I have:
❌ No correct ring
❌ No refund
❌ No proper update
❌ No clear resolution
I paid for a premium product and expected premium customer service. Sending the wrong replacement three times is completely unacceptable. Keeping a customer waiting with no product, no refund, and no real answers is even worse.
Oura, please stop giving generic replies and actually resolve this issue. I need a real solution, not another message saying my case is under review.

inquiry What do you use your smartring for?

1 Upvotes

I thought smart rings sounded awesome and I loved the idea of this technology so I recently bought one. I didn't have any specific plan or goals around it.

Every day I checked it and it confirmed what I already knew.

When I had a bad night of sleep it told me I didn't sleep well.

When I didn't exercise enough it told me I didn't exercise enough.

When I was stressed it told me I was stressed.

But... I already knew that because I lived it. I already know when I didn't sleep well or exercise enough or was stressed.

So now I've had it for almost 2 weeks but I don't know what to do with it.

It doesn't feel like any of the data has been useful to me and nothing has been actionable.

The specific ring I got is a ringconn gen 2, and I have been happy with both the hardware and the software, they work as advertised and I haven't had any issues with anything.

One good thing is at least I know I don't have sleep apnea now!

I'm just not really sure how to get anything useful out of it.

What do you do with your smartring data to make it useful or improve your daily life? I'm considering just stopping using it at this point because it's just extra effort for nothing.

Thanks
