After wearing the Oura Ring 4 for two weeks, I gained a deeper insight into how my sleep, stress, and exercise impact my daily well-being. The smart ring, now available for purchase, offers a sleek and comfortable way to monitor one’s health and make informed lifestyle choices.
The Oura Ring 4 boasts enhanced sensors, a more comfortable design, and longer battery life compared to its predecessor. Available in 12 sizes and six colors, including a new black option, it is priced at $349 with a monthly subscription fee of $5.99 or an annual fee of $69.99 for full access to the accompanying app’s features.
Despite being slightly bulkier and prone to scratches, the Oura Ring 4 proved to be informative about my health after the testing period. The process of selecting a color and size was facilitated by the company’s sizing kit, emphasizing the importance of accurate sizing for optimal comfort.
Upon receiving the ring, which came with a charger and instructions, I set up the Oura app with personal details and easily paired it with my iPhone. The ring’s comfort and discreet design made it convenient for continuous wear, even during activities like writing or washing hands.
The redesigned Oura app presents data in a user-friendly manner across three tabs: Today, Vitals, and My Health. The app offers detailed insights into various health metrics, such as sleep quality and stress levels, while providing personalized recommendations for improvement.
Despite minor issues like early signs of wear and shorter-than-expected battery life, the Oura Ring 4 remains a practical health tracking device. Access to the full range of features requires a subscription, but the device’s ease of use and valuable health insights make it a recommended choice for those seeking a holistic approach to monitoring their well-being.
