Its insane that you pay so much money to essentially just buy a ring that does nothing unless you pay for monthly subscription. I would have loved one Ill wait for the samsung one
Great video! I’ve had my Oura Ring GEN 3 since February 2022. I wear the ring on my left index finger. I think the ring is absolutely fantastic. I’ve been weight training religiously since 1965. I’ve been able to wear the ring while weight training without any scratching of the ring whatsoever. I grip the barbell or dumbbell normally with one exception: I touch the bar with the tip of the index finger, so the ring is slightly away from the bar. All other fingers grip the bar normally. (You really can’t do this with any other finger, except for the index finger.)
That’s an impressive skill with the ring and an even more impressive workout streak. How does the heart rate data look post workout? Do you feel it does an accurate job?
@@pantheonapp Thanks. I also use the Garmin Fenix 7X and the Apple Watch Ultra and compare the 3 heart rate monitors. The Oura Ring does a great job, and shows very similar results. To me, the 7X and the Ultra are tied in accuracy, with the ring a close 2nd. Many RUclipsrs have stated that the Apple Watch has a superior heart rate monitor to anything else, except for a chest strap. That has not been my experience. The 7X is just as good as the Ultra. I use the heart rate monitors for weight training, treadmill walking, indoor biking, and rebound (mini trampoline) exercise. Incidentally, you can use the Oura for any type of exercise. I do use it for weight training. ( I indicate outdoor running. This messes up the calorie burn amount, but still shows the heart rate information. I really don’t care about the calorie amount on the ring, because I’m getting that correctly on the 7X and the Ultra.)
Since I had the misfortune of ordering the wrong size and needed to exchange it, Oura now refuses to accept a return of a ring that’s not working. In multiple emails they have not asked what the problem is to try to help fix it. 😢 There’s nowhere to leave a review.
I love my Oura ring! So much more comfortable than smart watches/bands. Plus it tackles a more holistic and wellness approach compared to other smart devices, which is better for activity. The cycle tracking and battery life is super awesome! And another interesting thing is it detects illness before you feel anything. Also, it was very accurate when it comes on tracking my sleep. You can actually protect its beauty without sacrificing biometrics and comfort with an OSleeve
If you have a tracker that is getting in the way of your wrist straps, you can get an arm band that goes around your bicep or forearm for cheap on Amazon. I have an arm band for my Apple Watch that I use when I train with kettlebells. The Oura is a great sleep and recovery tracker but I don’t find it to be a great exercise tracker for many popular exercises.
false info. you can lift weights in it, and it's great for tracking intense workout calories. it's made of titanium and won't break. if it does, you have a warranty.
Great review, they lost my business as soon as you mentioned there's a monthly cost. They must be trippin
$6 a month
They didn't lose you with the $300 price tag?! Sheesh

Hi! Is that the black color?
Thank you. Wanted one to use as I lift weights and use wrist straps... so I won't be getting one then lol

I have been using my Oura ring with the OSleeve and I have no worries on getting it scratched. It doesn't interfere with the biometrics too 👍🏼
No weight lifting makes this useless to me. I don't want to take it off once every 6 weeks when I hit the gym...
I wear mine during training and I have no problems with it, I use OSleeve so there is no worry about getting it damaged
How does it compare to the Gloring?
Thanks mate. Might get one just for sleep
have you tried it for fitness activities?
Oura ring is great for sleep tracking. helped me with my recovery too
false info. you can lift weights in it, and it's great for tracking intense workout calories. it's made of titanium and won't break. if it does, you have a warranty.
agreed. just make sure you keep it protected with OSleeve. I think working out is the best time to wear it to track your activity.
It's great to spend $350 on it
What do I need any of that for😂
For tracking when you can get shafted without taking birth control
More monthly payments
Pass !
I see that $6 monthly subscription as an investment for your own personal health
Also make your thumb shake
Y'all getting ready for the mark of the beast😢
no
Yup it’s coming
I am out of here
