What is an Oura Ring?
According to the Oura Ring website, this is a ring you can wear for “The most accurate guide on Sleep, Readiness, and Activity.”
So, it’s kind of like wearing a health watch, but not as intrusive. I imagine it’s a lot less sweaty too!
It makes sense that our health data would be tracked through a ring rather than a watch because many of us are accustomed to wearing one type of ring for a lifetime (well, almost), and that’s a wedding band.
Maybe these new health tracking rings might be given as a wedding band in the future? Who knows!
Perhaps even tracking your spouse’s whereabouts might be an added feature. 🙂
Oura Ring Review
While I down’t own an Oura ring, the concept seems fascinating. The ring is waterproof, chargeable just like your other devices, and comes with an accompanying phone app that keeps track of your health insights.
There are some pretty cool testimonials about how this product led to an eventual diagnosis based on its sensitive and accurate readings that pointed to a health problem.
This ring is going to cost you a whopping 300-400 bucks. But most of us are accustomed to paying high dollar for our tracking devices. Right?
The good news is, the Oura app also syncs with other major fitness apps like Apple Health and Google Fit.
You can select your finish, from silver, black, to gold. And of course the Oura website has sizing guidance for selecting your ring size.
Available on Amazon
Unfortunately, this product is not yet available on Amazon. I didn’t even see any comparable off brand versions. Though I did come across a ring that is basically a digital thermometer–maybe not a bad thing in the days of COVID19 screening. It looks like one comparable brand was available on Amazon, then suddenly dropped out of the market.
