Sounds cool, but like you said, the Oura’s subscription is a deal breaker for me. I hope Apple makes an Apple Ring. I mostly just wanted an Oura ring for a more comfortable sleep tracking experience.
A ton of good info, Chris. I tried the Apple Watch years ago, but left it for a Garmin Forerunner. All of these great sleep tracking features are absolutely useless if your watch is charging overnight, which was my habit. Maybe if people got in the habit of charging before bed and then putting it on for sleep all would be fine. I would like to see these 2 devices compared to the Whoop and Garmin watches for a more complete picture.
Nah. The watch goes into low power mode during sleep tracking. Wake up, throw it on the charger while you shower and it’s charged up before the coffee is finished brewing. I am into the ring idea but the sleep nerds have discovered not much is more accurate than apple for sleep tracking.
@@PumpUptheJam81just curious where did you hear/read that apple has more accurate sleep data then the oura? That’s my dilemma- I want to choose something that’s most accurate. I’ve been leaning toward oura but your comment is making me reconsider … thanks.
Nice video and I’ve been curious about this ring. I love my Apple Watch and the Fitness app is amazing! I use the treadmill workouts while running outside, it’s so nice to have someone coaching me along the way! Makes the run so much more exciting!
I will give you a tipp about wearing the Ring in the Gym, Just take a Glove, i do it so since the First Day and have not a Single Scratch on it. I take Bicycle Gloths with half Finger Covered and it works Perfect.
Great video! I decided to try out the Oura today despite all the reviews out there about the monthly fee. I am fortunate enough to have a company that will reimburse me for these types of purchases and monthly fees so I just went for it. I really appreciate your review! What is the device your wife wearing over her eyes? That looks seriously cool!
I think it is borderline extortion to require people to upgrade their perfectly good gen 2 ring to gen 3 within a certain timeframe if they want to retain a lifetime membership. My gen 2 ring was only a year a change old when given the ultimatum to upgrade. I eventually upgraded, but not within their timeframe, so I recently lost the sleep detail. Basically, you just get 3 numbers, sleep, readiness, and activity. Without min heart rate and HRV, it is almost worthless. The gen 3 ring has a pulse oximetrr, but no reports to give your doctor. Very poor service in my opinion. I used to recommend the ring to everyone, but not anymore. I will do the opposite.
Great vid! I watched so many Apple Watch versus Oura ring videos since early last year. I think I’ll skip purchasing the Oura ring again. Since I have a Withings smart scale and blood pressure cuff, I use the “Health mate” app to sync its data to the Apple Health app. The Healthmate app does provide a “Sleep score.” I have the Apple Watch Series 8. I wish it notified me when my body temperature is abnormal. I know the current temperature feature does not alert me when I know I have a fever. I use the Withings thermometer to check.
How does the flat top of the Heritage make it so great? you did not mention the Horizon has an indent underneath that you can not only see but feel with a swipe of your thumb. Doesn’t that make the Horizon greater?
I charge my apple 8 an hour before bed, then again in the morning while in the shower. Have never run out . Subscription on the Oura Ring is a deal breaker.
The subscription sucks but shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Their $72 yearly subscription given what ppl spend in AW bands or 1 coffee a month isn’t the end of the world.
Great review and comparison! It's more comfortable than smart watches. Plus it tackles a more hollistic and wellness approach compared to smart watch that tracks activity and fitness. You can actually protect its beauty without sacrificing biometrics and comfort with an OSleeve.
Did you say that apple care adds on to the first year? Because here in Europe the two years start as soon as you purchase apple care it doesn’t add on to the one year warranty. Is it different in your country? I find 2 years not really enough. 3 would be perfect.
If I already have and use the Apple Watch every day and night (I have a little charging dock next to my bed so I just charge it for an hour before I’m due to sleep so that I continuously track my sleep) do you think the sleep tracking on the oura is that much better than the series 8 that I should buy the oura 3 and use that for the sleep tracking instead? I personally would be down for the membership but I’m currently unsure how much better the sleep tracking is on the oura
So the ring knows when you’re sleeping and it knows when you’re awake But does it know when I’ve been naughty or nice and will it tell on me to st nick?

get the ultrahuman ring air it is also very good but with no subscription

Apple Watch ultra charges in 30 minutes and last me 4 days without charge! I sleep and have it on all the time. Idk what you are talking about silly

@@MarS-dc2qxIn apple store sales manager told me that Apple watch 8 charging faster then Ultra… But I can tell it’s charging longer then 30 minutes
Apple wins hands down.
Thanks for actually sharing which one you think is better

If you use both Oura and Apple Watch, does the data match. Like do they both have similar data for example how much rem you got?
Yeah very similar.
I will give you a tipp about wearing the Ring in the Gym, Just take a Glove, i do it so since the First Day and have not a Single Scratch on it. I take Bicycle Gloths with half Finger Covered and it works Perfect.
People will throw bananas at me if I wear gym gloves to the gym
Best review thanks. 🙏🏼

Awesome we love it if it wasn’t for the fees!
Two great devices! I can't stop wearing both
Haha what’s good! Saw your Apple Watch ultra video! It was lit
@@EverydayChris thank you!!

With Oura ring can I leave my phone at home and will still track my workouts and monitor health?
Health yes. WOrkouts no
Can you have the Apple Watch on air plane mode to track sleep or does Wi-Fi have to be connected?
Thanks!
Airplane mode!

Can your wife review the Evie ring? It’s like Oura but cheaper and no subscription.
ill loook into it! I heard ultrahuman is another one
For $6 a month she’s definitely gonna be thinking about it 😂😂😂😂
That’s nothing
that isn’t much at all. that’s how much i pay for spotify premium with my student discount

I agree. Set it and forget it !
@Bee R definitely agree with you. ditched the blind tracking on apps and just let my body temp do the talking
Where is your wife’s sleep mask from? It’s super cute
Manta Mask! I did a video on it!
Did you say that apple care adds on to the first year? Because here in Europe the two years start as soon as you purchase apple care it doesn’t add on to the one year warranty. Is it different in your country? I find 2 years not really enough. 3 would be perfect.
Yeah so 3 total.

I personally would be down for the membership but I’m currently unsure how much better the sleep tracking is on the oura
Yes would really like a video of apple fitness
So the ring knows when you’re sleeping and it knows when you’re awake
But does it know when I’ve been naughty or nice and will it tell on me to st nick?
Yup. All that too
@EverydayChris Did you end up returning or selling both Oura rings in the end?
Kept both! Wife said the watch is too big to wear every night and likes how small the ring is
Yo, I've been waiting for this vid! Thanks so much for the insightful review!
You’re welcome Brandon!
Just get a slightly bigger ring so it’s comfortable. It works
Cool!
Good stuff! Thanks for the info
Is your wife wearing the 41 mm or 45 watch?It’s huge! I am a woman with small wrists.
She got the small one 41! She has small wrists too and it’s fine
Had that watch from the beginning of "time". I see what you did there, or did you? haha
😉
This cost $250 more than my weeding ring
If you compare oura ring subscription to whoop its really not that bad. Im tired of paying whoops $32 mo. Oura seems good
How you like Whoop?
You have it on the wrong finger !
haha recommended on index but ring finger is still ok!
Apple Watch ultra is way better
nice wife
Nice
Rip off
Stop pigging out. Who has 10 hrs in bed ?🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂
Me. Haha
Same! 10 hrs Easily! LoL 😴 💤
Pisses me off because theres a subscription after you pay $400 for the ring lmfao
The ring is a rip off! The Apple Watch ultra is way better
