Oura Ring
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Perhaps consider an Oura ring if you’re more interested in health metrics?
- Sleeping with a watch on is uncomfortable, but for that price, you're almost better off buying an Oura Ring.
- I have an Oura ring. It’s ok - I just like it as an alternative to watches and it is an adequate sleep tracker IMO.
- Dumped the Apple Watch almost completely by going with an Oura Ring instead.
- I use an oura ring to track and ever since I added l-theanine my sleep scores have jumped consistently
Cons
- Oura’s subscription model and Palantir affiliation means it’s a no for me. Also saw some horror stories where the battery swelled and the ring got stuck on someone’s finger.
- I’m actually planning to grab an Oura ring on boxing day mainly to try that setup.
- Looking at the latest Apple Watch as well as the Oura ring and Whoop.
- My dude tried the Oura ring. He wasn’t thrilled with it. He said the extra data was interesting but not enough to be useful for him. He also found the ring to be a bit irritating.
- I was tempted to buy an oura ring or a hatch alarm clock but I don’t want to have to pay a monthly subscription to use them
