“My one reservation after two days is the index finger placement. It is the finger Oura recommended for years, but it catches on things more than I expected during the day.”
“I am obsessed. Yes, if you are a health conscious person interested in data and patterns to better your well-being then get it.”
“I dont like how small it is, its kinda weird, like the height of it. I wish it was the same height of the 4th but with the thinness of the 5”
“7 fits absolutely fine on my index finger and the other hand middle finger. IMO sizing kit was more snug than the actual ring.”
“OURA is not a workout tracker. You need a different device like an Apple Watch, Whoop, Garmin, etc. if you want to actively track workouts”
“I've even found it comfortable during weightlifting and rowing, two activities that usually have me removing my rings entirely.”
“It just isn't the best for data *during* workouts so I augment it (just during workouts) with the Apple Watch”
“Too tight. But might be better as their sensors are very bad at measuring when loose and when the ring turns…”
“I just got the new one and I’ve been pretty impressed with it when I’ve worn it running. It’s not that far off from my garmin”
“I’m returning the 5. Sizing doesn’t work for me and I also don’t think it looks as good as the 4.”
“After five days of continuous wear, I still haven't needed to charge it, and I'm down to about 25% battery.”
“i ordered a 7 and found it the same snugness as the sizing kit (too snug for me) so im going with the 8”
“I just got the gen 5 size 9 and it definitely feels looser than the size 9 in the sizing kit.”
“The battery life on the Oura 5 does not last a week. At most it’s 4 days before another charge.”
“I was hardly conscious of wearing the 3rd-gen ring, but the 5th-gen is almost impossible to feel.”
“The 8 slides right over my knuckle with just enough room and still feels nice on the finger”
“it's not rose in person. It's basically bronze colored. I'm planning to return mine.”
“I finally got my 5 and you’re right, it is a little looser than the sizing kit for sure.”
“I had the 4 since it came out ~18 months ago and just got the 5. I’m thrilled I upgraded.”
“I don’t like mine. I’m going to take the lost and try to sell it for at least $250”
“The 9 was same fit as sizer unfortunately and too tight most of the day.”
“Started using this week and last night it didn’t capture my sleep data”
“5 feels a bit more snug because it’s just a better, more ergonomic fit, at least for me.”
“I just received the ring and it looks like I have to size down to an 8”
