Check out my full Oura Ring 4 review to see why I think it's the best smart ring money can buy. The Oura Ring Gen 3 slash the newer Oura Ring 4 is probably the most mainstream smart ring, packing an array of health sensors into a discreet design. The Oura Ring is my favorite sleep-tracking device, hands down. Monitoring my heart rate, skin temperature and oxygen saturation, the Oura Ring tells me more than I ever thought I wanted to know about my quality of rest.
My sleep score functions as a quick summary, though my sleep stages chart and breathing regularity graph give me a closer look at my overnight behaviors. During a rest day, activity goals are disabled. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
For a long time, I wished the Apple Watch had a way to take a rest day from closing activity rings , and this was a big advantage for the Oura Ring. Now, in watchOS 10 , you can pause your activity rings any day you please. I believe I have non-smart rings that are bulkier. I have a silver Oura Ring, but it also comes in gold, rose gold, black and a matte black called Stealth.
While it would be nice to be able to switch colors to match outfits, the same way I can swap out Apple Watch bands , silver is neutral enough for my style. Over the past year, the number of Oura Ring integrations has grown to include partnerships with popular platforms.
One of the most exciting new partners is Strava , the running and fitness tracking app with approximately million users. Now, those users with Oura Rings can see their readiness data in their Strava account. But the integration works both ways β Strava activity data gets uploaded to your Oura dashboard, so even if you're not wearing your ring or tracking Strava through something like the Apple Watch Ultra or a Garmin watch your progress syncs. Oura Ring also works with Therabody, the maker of premium massage guns such as the Theragun Pro 5.
