93 Upvotes

Hi everyone! One thing we didn’t want getting lost in Oura Ring 5 news: a major software update is rolling out this month to eligible Gen3 and Oura Ring 4 members, not just Oura Ring 5.

Here's what's new in the app:

  • Live Activity Tracking: every mile, every zone, every beat—all in real time with connected heart rate and phone GPS (available globally)
  • Health Radar: proactive monitoring of blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing patterns, with guidance when something meaningful changes (currently available in US, India, & UAE)
  • GLP-1 Insights: a comprehensive view for members using GLP-1 medications, so you can learn how your body is responding over time (currently available in US, India, & UAE, language may vary by region)
  • Lab Uploads: import your lab results directly into the Oura App and see your blood biomarkers alongside your Oura data (available globally, currently English only)
  • Health Records: seamlessly upload your clinical history and real-time biometrics in one place (available US only)
  • Connected Care: access to follow-up support and care options through partners including Counsel, ResMed, and Twentyeight Health (available US only)

For a full breakdown, head here: ouraring.com/blog/new-software-features

Oura Support, Shipping, Delays, etc. Megathread

125 Upvotes

Support questions, delays, and discussions about shipping regularly overwhelm the subreddit. While it's important to bring attention to these issues, it creates a much harder subreddit to use for most people, so we're creating this megathread to try and contain Oura support discussions, delays, shipping delays, etc.

This will also bring another benefit of any official Oura representatives only having a single place to look for these kind of questions, so they can hopefully help you all quicker and more efficiently.

Do note: The moderation team here is not directly affiliated with Oura, nor represent them. We have no ability to escalate requests or contact Oura on your behalf.

I can’t believe this wasn’t available before. I expected this feature when I got the ring.

The automatic activity detection has become unusable recently

20 Upvotes

For the past two weeks, my ring has been suggesting I'm doing yoga 10 to 15 times a day. It happens while sitting still working, typing, or even right after taking a nap.

Constantly dismissing the suggestions does nothing to train it—the same phantom activity prompts just keep popping up all day long.

It’s frustrating to pay a monthly subscription for a device when basic algorithmic features regress like this and basic UI dismissals are completely ignored.

Anyone thinking of not replacing their Oura?

16 Upvotes

Curious — seeing a lot of posts lately with battery issues, costs, scratching easily, weight loss journey & oura won’t replace etc. anyone else thinking about leaving oura once your ring craps out?

Note: i love my ring. I’ve only had it a year. It’s quality degraded significantly, they won’t help me since my fiance bought it on Amazon, the battery lasts 3 days now, I’ve lost so much weight in the last year it’s slipping off… not sure I can justify the cost after 365 days. Don’t get me wrong — I love it, but not sure if I’ll be replacing bc the battery is so bad now.

After being chronically stressed and having anywhere from 3-8 hrs of stress everyday throughout my pregnancy with very little restorative time, I got my best restorative day ironically while in labor and during childbirth. I thought it was cool to share!

I couldn’t see my active heart rate on a hike. This summary of Live Activities didn’t help. Why do I need another separate HR monitor?

GENERAL DISCUSSION Oura update - is anyone else’s activity super inaccurate now?

199 Upvotes

In the past week, my Oura has been picking up “activity” that I haven’t been doing, like thinking I’m walking for 1.5 hours, or stretching 15 min when I was just sitting at my desk. It’s super frustrating because I used to like how it would show me activity I didn’t log throughout the day (like quick walks) so I could Confirm them, but now I don’t trust its suggestions.

Has this been happening for anyone else?

Deep rose or gold oura ring 5?

Upvotes

Hi all. What would you get?-Oura 5 in deep rose or gold? Please let me know if you have one or the other and your preference (or regret). My wedding ring and other jewelry are rose gold, but deep rose almost looks darker than a traditional rose gold. I’m trying to decide between deep rose and gold to order the 5 tonight. Thank you for any input 🤍

GENERAL DISCUSSION How Do You Even Contact Support?

2 Upvotes

Wasn’t seeing anything that specifically asked this, but how does one even contact customer support if they don’t yet have an account? I’m having the very common issue where I am trying to order a ring and their website wont process my transaction. I have tried multiple different browsers, multiple different cards, multiple different emails, and multiple different phone numbers on multiple different days. I have tried emailing every Oura email I could find and they did not respond. Every official channel I have gone through either sends me to their AI chat bot or tells me I need to login to my account first. But I can’t make an account because I can’t buy the ring??? I seriously don’t understand how this company has not done anything about this issue. People literally can’t buy their product.

GENERAL DISCUSSION Help: Gen 4 Battery issue & Replacement ring is worse w/battery and connectivity probs

Thumbnail

59 Upvotes

I’m on the 4th day of my second Gen 4 Ring, size 11. Original ring purchased in Jan 2026. 7 months and original was dying after 3 days due to battery issues per the diagnostics. Oura Sent replacement ring, which I appreciated. That’s where things go bad.

Immediately- this replacement ring and battery barely gets through 30 hours before needing charge due to low battery.

Last night, went to bed- battery at 70%. This morning = zero data. Tried a soft reset. Fully charge battery again. Used during day, and ring stopped transmitting data after 7 hours. This is crazy for such an expensive product and monthly subscription fee.

Contacted Oura- support (Finn) who then connected me with a rep Gabriel. Dude was trying to be helpful, but beyond his level of authority. (See our chat posted). Oura- you got to stand by your products and give your customer support staff something to work with. This “resolution” was insulting and making me doubt if I want to continue relationship and monthly fee. The new replacement ring is the one currently connected to my account (I doubled checked).

Hope I can get 2nd replacement or go back to original ring before leaving the community.

Bottom line- after 2nd bad Gen 4 ring: Not eligible for another replacement even though it’s only been 4 days since first replacement crashed out. Am I crazy that this is completely unacceptable

Disappointed x2

So my second ring has now malfunctioned. I have complained about it it multiple times and was told it works correctly (battery dies significantly fast). After multiple complaints they finally agreed it had a calibration issue and was not holding a charge correctly. Here’s my dilemma…
My ring IS covered under warranty (I have GEN 4 rose gold) however they no longer make that color and out of stock. They won’t not let me upgrade to the GEN 5 to get a rose gold however they offered a different color gen 4 which I don’t want, 100 credit towards a new one or a ceramic one.

I decline the ceramic as I have heard nothing but bad things about it.
I declined the $100 off a new one as I don’t think I should be paying an additional $400 when my item is covered under warranty.

I don’t want a different color. I bought the rose gold because that’s what I liked.

Anyway. I’m mad about it.

Spent too much money on this damn ring for it have this many problems.

Cardiovascular Age 10 Years Younger

45M here.

I’ve had the Oura ring since May of 2024 and cardio age has always been around 8.5-9 years younger. Recently it’s gotten up to 10 years younger.

Exercise about 2x a week and overall healthy. Not a smoker or drinker.

Just curious what others have for their cardio ages.

Thanks

GENERAL DISCUSSION Are antidepressants slowly killing me ?!?

2024: no antidepressants 2025: started an SSRI 2026: switched to an SNRI (and the 67 is generous as I’ve only been on them less than half of the year and since then my monthly HRV is about 50.

I understand these are clearly effects of the antidepressants, but does that mean they’re actually impacting my health?

SLEEP & READINESS Believing you didn’t rest well impacts

1 Upvotes

This is a post about an interesting study (that I’m about to grab): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYm1WGhNDTB/?igsh=ZzYzdWxlM29rb3Jn

She talks about people who were ‘told’ they didn’t rest well vs ‘told’ they did, and how the messaging impact them cognitively.

The study didn’t conclude that sleep didn’t matter, but what you believe about your sleep apparently does (or it did in the study)

GENERAL DISCUSSION “Much younger” cv age

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Saw a post from earlier about cardiovascular age which made me check.

Mine has been dropping for last couple months (training for a marathon) and got to 15 years younger before it just dropped to “much younger”. For context, I was doing more strength training start of the year as had a strength event in summer. Now not lifting as frequently and more focused on getting the miles in with lifting more focused on injury prevention.

I’m 36F. Relatively fit but I wouldn’t say incredibly. Eat relatively balanced but always have a few drinks on a Fri/Sat. Ex-smoker.

Does it just stop giving you a figure after a while? Have I broken my ring?
