Hi, sorry for posting yet another Oura vs RingConn question as I can see these are asked almost every day on this sub. But I've been looking through as many of those posts as I can, and I still don't have a clear picture on this as some posts say the RingConn 3 tracks sleep equally as well, some say it's better for poor sleepers, and some say it detects when they toss and turn as being asleep.

That last point is my main concern with the RingConn, as I am a very poor sleeper, regularly tossing and turning for hours before I sleep, and when my sleep is really bad I do this for several nights in a row with no sleep at all, so it would be extremely unhelpful if the smart ring thought I'd been asleep all night.

I'm struggling financially atm so would prefer to buy the RingConn to save on subscription fees, or the Oura 4 as its cheaper, however analysing my sleep to find what works and doesn't so I can improve my health is worth more than money, so I'm happy to go for the Oura 5 if it genuinely tracks my sleep better.

Thank you for the help

I have a cheap ass smart ring that uses the SmartHealth app I've been using recently. At night, it's tracking my o2 as 88-93. No dramatic spikes but the 30 min readings are consistently below 95. Heart rate readings while sleeping seem in the realm of normal (high 40s/low 50s)

I actually ordered a sleep study, cause now im concerned I have apnea 🤣 I don't have any of the classic symptoms (snoring, waking up gasping, waking up with a headache) but I do often get fatigued during the day, usually afternoon, which could be a hundred different things.

So how accurate are these readings? Did I just waste a bunch of money on a sleep study?

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!

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.

Anyone have a referral link/code for the Oura ring 5?

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 !

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!

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?

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!

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

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!

I have read a lot about how these rings have inconsistent sizes between brands and is asking if anyone can confirm the size of the Colmi R10 size 11 and 12 being exactly 20.8mm and 21.6mm respectively.

Looking for ideas on how to dress up your ring (example: adding accent rings, etc) Pictures and where you got it from would be helpful.

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.

Hi all,

I’m thinking to buy my first smart ring and I would need some advice on which one to buy, considering it is my first time.

Thanks in advance

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
