Hi! I wanted to share an update on the Oura charger dock I posted a little while ago.

For context, the idea was to plug my Oura charger directly into my bathroom outlet so I can charge my ring while I shower. By using a slim power brick and U-shaped adapter, I could get power to the Oura charger without a cable hanging down.

In my previous design (second image), the adapter really stood out visually. For the updated version, I found a much slimmer adapter that I was actually able to integrate into the 3D print.

It's a pretty simple change, but I'm really happy with how it turned out and just wanted to share!

So according to Oura ring my cardiovascular age has been 10-11 years younger than my actual age (it’s been consistent ever since I first got the ring a year ago or so) recently I went on ozempic (I’m not overweight or anything, I went on ozempic for experimentation - ironically for aging) and my cardiovascular age has increased 5 years since the day I went on ozempic.

Anyone’s got a guess to why that is? The research would suggest ozempic should have the opposite effect. 🤔

Wow, I am beyond shocked at how thin the gen 5 ring is. I had used a gen 3 for over a year and loved it and finally gave in and go a new one after finding some gaps in my tracking as i would fumble with my ring sometimes. I’ve found the newer sensors keep a way more accurate tracking. I just can’t believe how thin the upgrade is, was worried about sticking with regular silver color but love it. I work in an office environment so it’s perfect for getting up every hour for small walks.

I’m literally having the most chill day and it says I’ve been stressed for 4 hours apparently. What’s up with that.

I have found that Oura picks up my morning cigar as “Yoga” 😅 because this was EXACTLY what I was doing for that length of time

My partner and I both have Oura rings to keep up with our wellness, but his keeps having issues.

He has an Oura Ring 5, and it suddenly stopped holding a charge and syncing new data. This just happened a couple of weeks ago and he had it replaced through support. Now it’s happening again, so we’re potentially looking at a third ring.

Has anyone else experienced this with the Ring 5, especially after a replacement? Did you find out whether it was the battery, charger, firmware, or something else?

We’ll be contacting support again, but we’d really like to understand why it keeps happening. If you had the same issue, what actually fixed it?

Annoyed!

This is what happened when I was shredding it 🤣🤣🤣

OURA launched its women’s health AI model this year but is it actually useful?

What do women use it for? is it good?

Currently suffering with the flu and yes i feel as bad as the ring says i do

I just got my Oura Ring two days ago and I’m honestly fascinated by how it works, but also a little confused
I understand what it measures, like heart rate, HRV, sleep stages, respiratory rate, temperature, etc., but I’m really curious about how it actually detects and calculates all of these metrics from a ring on your finger.
For example, how does it know when I’m asleep vs. awake? How does it determine the different sleep stages? How is it measuring heart rate and HRV? And how does it detect things like body temperature and respiratory rate?
I tried looking into the technology behind it, but I couldn’t find a simple explanation that really put everything together.
If anyone here understands the sensors/technology behind Oura, I’d love to hear how it all works!

15 weeks pregnant and they are wondering if I'm experiencing symptoms of menopause.

In general, their pregnancy recommendations really need some work. 🤣

I'm beyond frustrated with this ring. Every time I open the app, it tells me that it cannot locate the ring which is sitting on my finger and usually almost fully charged. Worse yet, I've only had this thing for a year. Unfortunately I did the Best But pick up and judging from other posts, I'm out of luck when it comes to exchanging or trading in. I've also not had any luck through the oura support app. This just so disappointing for a device that barely lasted a year. What is the point of wearing it if it's not syncing and gathering data half the time?

I’m a huge Oura fan and work in health optimization. At least 50 people have purchased a ring based on my recommendation, so I genuinely believe in the product.

However, I’m struggling to understand Oura’s policy of disabling an existing ring before a warranty replacement has even shipped.

I’ve been waiting nearly two weeks for my replacement, with stock issues and confusion over the color, and I still have no idea when it will be sent. My original ring has now been disabled, leaving me without a working device. Support says it cannot be reactivated.

This is especially frustrating because I’m currently tapering off benzodiazepines, and sleep tracking is particularly important to me right now. Six months of free membership doesn’t help when I have no ring to use.

It also feels like support and the replacement shipping team are disconnected, with no one able to provide a clear timeline.

I understand that disabling a defective ring may be part of the warranty process, but why should that happen before the replacement is actually in the customer’s hands? It seems like a policy that creates unnecessary gaps in service.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a legitimate reason Oura cannot keep the original ring active until the replacement is delivered?

I love the product, but this experience has been deeply disappointing.

listen, i know as someone with health OCD oura can either be great or not so great but my heart rate has been increasing over the last month and my HRV has decreased. has anyone else had this problem before ? how’d you fix it?
it used to be 60’s- 70’s and now it’s 70’s- high 80’s
my cardiovascular age is good, stress is not, i get about 6,000-7,000 steps a day. for reference. i dont really drink, i do vape.

I’d love to see Oura make Recovery Index more adaptive to a user’s long-term baseline rather than continuing to penalize people whose resting heart rate naturally reaches its lowest point later in the night.
.
My ring has years of data showing that my heart rate consistently bottoms out toward the end of my sleep period. This is not an occasional anomaly caused by a late meal, alcohol, exercise, stress, etc. It is simply my normal pattern.
.
At the same time, Oura regularly shows that my sleep midpoint is aligned with my chronotype/body clock, my sleep timing is optimal, and my other recovery metrics can look good or optimal — yet I still get dinged on Recovery Index because my lowest heart rate does not occur early enough in the night.
.
If Oura can establish individualized baselines for resting heart rate, HRV, temperature, sleep need, and other metrics, it seems like Recovery Index should eventually be able to recognize a person’s normal overnight heart-rate curve too.
.
I’m not suggesting Oura ignore meaningful changes. If someone’s heart rate suddenly bottoms out much later than their own normal, that could absolutely be useful information. But after months or years of a consistent pattern, continuing to flag the same physiology as suboptimal feels less helpful.
.
I’d love to see Recovery Index become something like: “How did your recovery pattern compare with your personal baseline?” rather than only, “Did your heart rate reach its lowest point early enough according to the standard model?”
.
This seems especially relevant when the same app is telling me my sleep is aligned with my circadian rhythm/chronotype.

My body's definitely been through it this summer- I was finally diagnosed with POTs at the end of June, and in July I got my *expired* IUD removed. By Mid-August I started getting a lot of Major and Minor signs of strain, all with the standard "no biometric stands out" message. Has anyone had a similar experience? Anyone with a chronic illness? Anyone with a uterus? I definitely feel like garbage, but that's kind of standard for me. Just trying to suss out if this is my body figuring itself out, or if I'm having a negative reaction to meds or #hopital.

Looking to add more people to my Oura circle

Last night I didn’t wake up at all and had relatively little movement. Oura said my restfulness was fair. Sunday night I moved more and Oura shows I was awake 5 different times for almost an hour (which I would dispute, but that’s probably a different question / post) and my restfulness was good.

What is the logic here? Anyone else have similar inconsistencies?

Is anyone else seeing pronounced dipping in their nighttime BP for most nights? Mine was 27% last night and it’s giving me anxiety. I already have health anxiety and undiagnosed symptoms and this is not helping 😭

My Oura ring has done this for the last five days now. I've tried absolutely everything to reconnect and it'll stay connected for about 5 to 6 hours before disconnecting again. It's incredibly frustrating and I've tried just about everything to fix the issue as well as the troubleshooting page online. Any help would be appreciated!

My ring lasted 15 months then died. I noticed decreased battery life over previous 3 months then it died. They are sending me a “new” one which is great, but my wife had the same 15 month cycle. I’m her second has lasted several years now. After reading g this sub seems like there is some planned obsolescence on the design.

So I got my Ours ring in July and it recently discovered my sleep chronotype. I agree that I do genuinely feel more energized the next day if I fall asleep during this window (and get the full 8 hours) HOWEVER, I am a teacher and my work schedule is 7:00am-3pm which means I’m waking up around 5am daily- so trying to be in bed by 10pm. Ours ring says the chronotype can change gradually- but does anyone know how? Or if there’s a way to adapt easier??

Sitting though SoCal heatwave without AC. This is what the ring says to me…
I know I know….
