“my oura ring 4 battery only lasts 3.5 days and i just did the diagnostic test and it says my battery consumption is normal”
“I have an AW and bought the Oura ring 4 instead of getting a new watch. The Watch is almost more expensive where I live, plus mine doesn’t track O2 and temperature. They complement each other really well. The ring is truly accurate, same data as the AW while training. Sleep tracking was way worse on my AW. It’s waterproof and even more comfortable in that as”
“Since the Oura 4 is my first Oura Ring, I was very curious what the Stealth color looks like in reality: While the Oura Ring 4 Stealth isn't the deepest black, in my opinion the color is much closer to black than to Apple's Space Gray.”
“I literally got my new Oura Ring 4 on Tuesday, and set it up on Wednesday, so I have two full night's worth of sleep data. It's Friday today and still no Blood Oxygen measurements.”
“I just got updated to 2.1.5 and fully charged my ring to 100%... I happened to check my Oura app 90 minutes later and I'm at 90%... 10% down in less than two hours. I'll be watching carefully... I have a launch Oura Ring 4 and have had no battery issues so far.”
“I wear all to sleep, with oura ring 4 being primary sleep tracking device. Apple Watch Ultra 2 + Athlytic work well, but I found oura ring and whoop to be more accurate for me.”
“I am one month in and stand by everything I wrote below, except I'd say charging is required every 3 days which is less than advertised but not the end of the world IMO.”
“I switched form an Apple Watch Ultra + iPhone 16 Pro to the Oura Ring 4 and the Pixel 9 Pro. The Oura Ring does everything I wanted from my watch while being less distracting.”
“This happened to me too! Oura Ring 4 bought Feb 2025. I made a post about it with pics of my finger on my right hand. What’s weird is that I changed hands to my left and no issues.”
“I was between sizes for the oura ring 4 and got the 7 and it was way too big. I was worried the 6 would be too tight but it fits great and I never have gaps.”
“Overall, it delivers robust, actionable health data without the extra costs and limitations that come with the Oura Ring 4, making it the clear winner for my lifestyle and budget.”
“I’m a hardcore Apple Watch guy and just got my Oura ring 4 yesterday. I’m extremely impressed. Getting 2 more for the parents. I even forgot to put on my Apple Watch today lol”
“Yeah, just got my first Oura ring 4, can’t believe people are paying $6 monthly for simple bugs like this. Its not like there are many hard features in the. Oura app vs Apple Watch…”
“Got an oura ring 4 months ago and realize how much it actually affects my sleep (in a bad way). Between very low HRV, high heart rate and lack of deep sleep (seriously minutes a night. If I get 45 min that’s a good night).”
“First time user with Oura ring 4, I preordered it. The sizing kit was off for me, the 8 was too big for me when it arrived so I exchanged it for the size 7. Haven’t had any issues since!”
“Currently, I’m using the Garmin Forerunner 955 along with the Oura Ring 4, and I’m confident that this setup covers all my tracking needs. In fact, even the Oura Ring isn’t essential for me to achieve comprehensive tracking.”
“After much research in this domain, I decided to get an Oura Ring 4 and so far the features have made a big impact on my sleep habits and overall health”
“So far I love how light it is compared to my Oura Ring 4, and seems already far more accurate on steps than the OR4. My OR4 says I get 7,000 steps in a day driving my dump truck.”
“honestly i just picked up an oura ring 4 in silver (i got a size 7 to test which size will be better for me) and im not sure if its because im used to having the silver but i like the way it looks more than the brushed one 😭😭😭”
“Have both whoop and oura ring 4 and for someone in somewhat simmilar situation (2 kids 6 and 4 year old and work ) oura is far more useful/realistic.”
“Yep, mine did today as well after owning it for less than 2 hours. It happened while I was drying the ring after washing my hands and only part of the gasket thing started coming off”
“Based on this experience I would highly suggest not purchasing the ring as when things go wrong, Oura does not seem to have the will or capabilities to fix faulty products.”
“my AWU2 always did that to me, so I stopped using it and got a Oura ring 4, completely different readings, so in other words, I dont trust the AW.”
“My Oura Ring 4 was dropping 10% an hour and customer support promptly processed a replacement. Should be on its way and I hope whatever problem was fixed. I had for not quite a month, I think before the battery drain went nuts.”
