As we mentioned, the smart ring landscape has changed dramatically since Oura first debuted the Heritage edition of the Ring Gen 3 in November 2021. It means that there are now a bunch of rings from startups like Ultrahuman, Circular, Ringconn, and Movano to consider – while the Samsung Galaxy Ring and Amazfit Helioare also preparing to launch. We ...
In our initial review of the Heritage model of the Oura Ring (Generation 3), seen below, reviewer Michael Sawh praised the waterproofing, style, and durability of the design while raising concerns about its versatility and appeal. Despite the rounder Horizon design on our finger this time, it’s a very similar story. Despite never wearing a ring pre...
If you’re coming to smart rings after previous experience with fitness trackers or smartwatches, it’s fair to wonder exactly what the Ring Gen 3 can actually do. And the most pertinent thing to note is that this isn’t a particularly smart device. There’s no capacity for contactless payments or notifications, with the Oura experience instead heavily...
While Oura’s Gen 3 ring won’t monitor your heart for irregular rhythms, perform electrocardiogram readings, or send out an SOS if it detects you’ve fallen, the health tracking is still fairly solid. Crucially, it’s also very accurate compared to other gold-standard trackers – whether it’s tracking nightly SpO2 averages, respiratory rate, body tempe...
When we first reviewed the Gen 3 a couple of years ago, stress tracking wasn’t part of the experience. That’s changed dramatically since, with Oura adding Daytime Stress and Resilience. Oura doesn’t have any specific stress-tracking sensors – like the electrodermal activity sensor you’ll find on the Google Pixel Watch 2, for example – but it does u...
For all the good we’ve talked about above, fitness tracking simply isn’t an area where the Oura Ring shines. Smart rings are still in their relatively early stages, so it’s difficult to know whether this will always be an intrinsic issue to the design – simply, there’s too much movement for real-time HR to be accurate – or whether algorithms and in...
The finger is a much better place to track sleep than the wrist. Not only is it much more comfortable and unobtrusive, but placing the optical sensor setup closer to arteries means it’s much more likely to track accurately. As such, Oura has become our go-to tracker for testing alongside the Pixel Watch 2 over the past year. The company added Chron...
Given it doesn’t have a screen to power, you would be forgiven for thinking the Oura Ring (Gen 3) would rarely need to be charged. Unfortunately, the battery life here isn’t anything that blows wrist-based devices out of the water. Oura estimates that you should see battery cycles last anywhere from four days to a week with the Gen 3, and our time ...
