I Wore the Oura ring 4 for 6 Months Straight-Here's My Full Evaluation


What does the Oura 4 track? How does it work? Oura Ring three vs 4: What's modified? How a lot does the Oura Ring 4 cost? I love my Oura ring. Ask any of my pals and they’ll let you know that it’s change into one among my predominant personality traits over the past year and a half, that if I had a cartoon character, she would have a gold ring on her pointer finger. I’m never seen with out it (if I am, get prepared to hear a panicked "Wait… did I lose my Oura ring?" in three… two… one…) and the minimal weight slips below the level of consciousness so it’s mainly a part of me. Within the time since I last updated my 2023 review of the Gen three Oura ring, the corporate released a model new iteration, the Oura 4. Checks out, as they've historically released a new version every three years.


And because of the aforementioned making-it-my-complete-personality thing, I knew I had to do a full test of the new version. ’s damaged down into sections that are easy to scroll via in case you’re looking for something particular, with tons of pics and anecdotes about what I liked and didn’t love. Note: If you desire a extra in-depth walkthrough of how I picked out my ring and set it up, you possibly can learn the complete breakdown in our Oura three review right here. The fit metrics and means of ordering a size package are each nonetheless the identical, just be sure you’re specifically ordering the Oura four dimension kit-both on their website or on Amazon! What does the Oura 4 monitor? How does it work? So, the Oura Ring is a well being tracker. But what does it really monitor? "The Oura Ring boasts temperature sensors, a collection of LED lights to measure heart rate and blood oxygen, and an exercise accelerometer to offer you correct insights to assist your total well being," says Jason Russell, Oura’s Senior Director of Product.


Once knowledge is collected by way of the sensors, you’re given three scores every day that can assist you interpret your stats at a look: your Sleep Rating, your Readiness Score, and your Exercise Score. It’s a number out of one hundred that grades your sleep, your movement, and the way prepared your physique is to take on the day primarily based on tons of data points from REM and deep sleep to heart fee variability and your body temperature whereas you’re asleep. You also get a stress management ring rating and resilience ranking, and you'll opt into Cycle Monitoring as effectively. Oura Ring 3 vs 4: What's modified? While the fundamental idea and experience you understand and love remains to be the same, there are a handful of helpful new features that the Oura group rolled out with the fourth-generation ring. And pssst: Whereas the brand new hardware options are unique to the 4, the software program and app updates might be obtainable for anyone with any version of the Oura Ring!


First up: Major redesign! The app used to have a hard and fast design but now, you’ll see completely different stats and scores highlighted depending on what time of day you open up your app. Whatever is most useful or notable will float as much as the highest all through the day, whether or not it’s an distinctive sleep score or an elevated body temperature. Huge information for anyone who doesn’t want to get into the weeds of HRV charts and simply wants to be given crucial highlights! Visually, the bumpy domes on the inside of the Gen 3 have been eliminated and replaced with flat sensors for a more comfy sporting experience. This new ring additionally has sensible sensing and elevated accuracy, which didn’t choose up on any life changing new data so it wasn’t an enormous, measurable impression on my life, but somebody who tracks their heart fee or physique temperature extra intently will respect this. I additionally discover that the battery lasts quite a bit longer, permitting me to go several days with out charging slightly than having to juice it up every other day.


I was an ideal measurement 6 within the Gen 3, so I ordered the size 6 in the Gen 4, however that ended up being so free that I used to be experiencing gaps in my data. I exchanged it for a size 5, which I wore on a smaller finger. A word to the sensible: As a result of the Oura four has flat sensors on the inside instead of the Oura 3’s raised sensors, it’s going to be barely looser even if you get the identical measurement you had earlier than. Don’t assume you’ll be the identical size in the newer Gen 4! To avoid this, order a sizing kit beforehand. And in case you have an older Oura ring that you’re upgrading, transferring your knowledge over is extremely easy-simply click on the battery signal in the highest proper nook of your app, hit "Set up a new ring," and observe the tutorial (it took me 30 seconds…max). How a lot does the Oura Ring four cost?
