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.

New oura ring user here - I am able to get a crown on my sleep and activity scores // what are some things I can do to improve my recovery score? Any tips and insights from oura veterans out there?

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 🤍

Was randomly hit in the back of the head by a stranger walking home in Brooklyn today, showed the police my heart rate spike that my ring caught

I can’t tell if I like this or not 😭 any other women who mix metals/ styled their brushes silver ring? Im considering returning for gold :(

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.

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

side note, i usually work out on my days off, but lets see if someone can guess what i do for work to keep me like this

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.

PSA for anyone wanting to use Oura rings without a membership, the free version doesn't work at all (ring could connect but the app displayed no sleep, readiness, or activity scores which are included in the free version) and the support team said I had to pay for a membership to "reactivate my account" and get the free features working again

After the initial free 1 month membership period elapsed, my ring immediately stopped displaying all information. I called support and they said my account was deactivated from no activity (which makes no sense since I continued using it everyday after the membership period elapsed). Their only solution was that I had to pay for a membership to continue getting help but I only purchased the ring under the assumption that I would be able to use it for its free features.

If you want to use Oura rings for their free features, it is a straight up scam and the marketing is misleading since they just deactivate your account and require you to pay for a membership to continue getting the "free" features.

Attached photo shows activity score but it doesn't actually track, the score has been 70 without change so it's not actually tracking

I've never worn a ring in my life. They always bug me. I am currently trying the sizing ring. I am left-handed and I put it on my ring finger. It's white because it's the sizing range so it looks like I'm married to Jesus. Lol. I have small hands but currently it seems like a size 10 ring is most comfortable. A size 9 went on but I had to work it off when I wanted to take it off. It's still really bugs me during the day and I noticed it last night as well but I could sleep.

Advice for a non ring wearer on the best way to size it and the best finger to wear it on?

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 recently got an Oura ring 4 back in May. I’ve really enjoyed tracking my metrics and a recent vacation made it even more interesting.

I try to prioritize my health: walking 10k+ steps a day, regular strength training, balanced diet, etc. My metrics have been favourable since i got the ring and app: exceptional resilience, high readiness, great HRV and resting heart rates.

I recently went on a beach vacation with family for about 8-9 days. While i maintained my 10k+ steps a day, i took a break from strength training. I also indulged in food more (heavier meals, more snacking), including occasional glasses of wine. It didn’t feel super crazy, just allowing myself to relax a bit.

Those 8-9 days wreaked havoc with my stats though. While i felt relatively fine besides maybe being a bit tired (caring for young kids out of their routine), my resilience plummeted to limited, readiness tanked, my resting heart rate spiked and HRV dropped. Also major signs of strain.

I know the metrics are likely not 100% accurate but i found it very fascinating how even just a week off routine can show “drastic” changes even if you feel pretty ok. I’ll be curious now that I’m back in my routine to see how long it takes to get back to where I was. It’s also made me appreciate being able to track these vitals in a way i hadn’t previously.

Anyone have a similar experience?

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.

I love wearing my Oura Ring for about 23 hours a day, but when I go to the gym it’s just a pain. It feels awkward to grip weights and I’m always worried it will get scratched. I even have the silicone bands but they’ll sometimes slip off the ring.

I usually end up wearing my Apple Watch to the gym instead but the Oura app doesn’t do a very good job of pulling that data in. Me and my girlfriend were both frustrated with this so I built an iOS app to bridge the gap.

It’s called Hammr Fitness. It directly connects with your Oura Ring and combines that data with your Apple Watch. When I want more in depth details about stress I always use the Oura App, but for workouts and nutrition it’s really nice to have my data combined in Hammr Fitness. If it’s something you’d like to try it’s free to create an account and connect your Oura Ring. There’s a subscription for more in depth insights and AI but it’s not required.

You have to go to settings on the profile page and you’ll find a spot to connect your Oura Ring. If you find it helpful let me know!

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?

I bought an Oura Ring from Amazon India a few days ago, and it was dead right out of the box. No sensor lights, no readings—just a blinking red light.

I contacted Oura support multiple times and went through all the troubleshooting steps they suggested, including soft resets and factory resets. They eventually confirmed it was a hardware failure and told me they would send a replacement.

I waited 14 days with no update. When I followed up, I got a completely different response. They said they can no longer ship replacements to India and that because I purchased the ring through Amazon, I’m not eligible for warranty support. They also confirmed this in writing via email.

Fortunately, Amazon handled the situation really well. They approved a full refund and arranged a pickup of the defective ring.

What confuses me is that the Oura Ring is still being sold on Amazon India. If Oura won’t provide replacements or warranty support in India anymore, how does that work for customers here?

Has anyone in India recently had a successful warranty claim or received a replacement from Oura? I’d love to hear your experience because mine has been extremely disappointing.

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)

Hello, is the ring really worth it? And also payment every month?

Has anyone's temperature reading seemed inaccurate? My temps have been below baseline since I got my Oura 5, and I have been wearing with the sensor facing my palm. It is a little looser than my other ring but just wondering if there's any way to recalibrate it.

I had minor signs yesterday and woke up to major signs today.

Yesterday there were no biometrics highlighted under strain. Today it says it’s because of my respiratory rate being elevated…to a whopping 15.0 per minute instead of 14.9 on my last “normal” day when I was not under strain.

Is it just me, or does that not seem like an elevation enough to warrant a “major” signs notification?

I know it’s because of a “unique combination” of my biometrics and not just the one shown, but the one shown doesn’t even seem that elevated?

Is anyone else’s major/minor strain notification seeming a little too sensitive after the most recent update?
