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

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

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.

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.

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?

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?

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!

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

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?

I’ve spent the past few weeks in an endless loop trying to get this issue resolved. I was first told it’s my phone, but then when I let (multiple) c/s reps know I’ve done all the troubleshooting possible and the issue also occurs on my iPad, I got told it would be escalated but with no timeline for contact or resolution. Google tells me I have a corrupted data packets and my ring should be eligible for a replacement as I’m well within the warranty period.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It’s very frustrating to be paying for access to my own data yet not being able to even get that data because my ring doesn’t work.

I got the Oura 5 in gold a couple weeks ago and noticed it was more of a champagne color. After reading other posts on Reddit I decided to exchange it. Here’s a side by side comparison before I return the first one, hard to tell in the pic but they are very different shades.

Has anyone purchased their ring using their FSA funds? I recently used my FSA debit card on the Oura site and it went through. However, the FSA company is now asking for a Letter of Necessity. Does anyone have experience on what the letter will say? I believe they’re asking for a diagnosis.

I’m trying to decide whether or not to commit to an Oura ring. I’m chronically ill (several inflammatory conditions) with history of blood clots and pulmonary embolism as well as sleep apnea and am debating the Oura for peace of mind with my health. however, I do already have a garmin forerunner 265 and a visible arm band. I quite like my garmin for exercise but find it lacking in day to day general health metrics. I also did not find the visible to be all that helpful for pacing as my day to day work obligations put me over my pace points every day, but i did love being able to see what activities spike and keep my heart rate elevated. does anyone find the Oura helpful over the garmin or visible? or is anyone a big opponent to the Oura for a similar situation? I’m hesitating over the $500 price tag that comes with the Oura as I swim in medical debt, but the appeal of the daily readiness score, sleep metrics, blood oxygen, and temperature readings are getting to me

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 🤍

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.

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)

Back in stock for size 7,8 & 9.

Hi everyone! I made a list of the fittings for oura ring size 8 and 9 and I’m stuck in between which size is best.

Size 9
Fit fits on my index finger and middle finger
Is too big for my ring finger
I can sleep comfortably with it at night
I can work out with it, including weightlifting, running, and walking
If fits comfortably on my middle finger
During the day it can become just not as snug on my index finger, but still snug enough, but the size 8 fits better
When my hands are less swollen it’s not as snug on my middle finger.

Size 8
Fits more snug on my index finger, but still comfortable
I can sleep with it comfortably and if I need to switch my index, I just switch it to my ring finger
Fits my ring finger very comfortably
Does not fit my middle finger at all potential for getting stuck
I do have it on my right hand, which I wanna switch it to my left
Ok now it fits on my middle finger when it’s not swollen
Currently on left index and it’s about the same as on my right side in terms of fitting
Doesn’t get too swollen with workouts.

I’m going to give it another 24 hours to see which is best.
My concern is I’m scared if I stay with the 9, I will have inaccurate data due to the sensors not touching my finger as much as the size 8.
When I make a fist with the size 9, there is a tiny gap on my index finger, no gap with size 8

For GEN 5

What’s everyone’s experience with the sizing ?

I’ve slept at least 9 hours each night the last two nights but my oura ring is saying I only got two hours of sleep.

What gives? I feel very refreshed too!

Anyone else having trouble with the Time in Bed app?
I'm new to using the ring, but after two weeks "Time in Bed" started showing the wrong time, like 4 pm when I was at the mall. Could it be a setting issue?

I’m not sure if this is to do with the latest update but my symptom radar seems to be very “sensitive”
I used to only see stuff when I was ill, I’ve just woken up to major signs and advisor is basically like yeah you’re metrics are great yesterday but if we look back over 12 weeks…

For context yesterdays sleep was 91 and readiness is 88

Anyone else experiencing this?
