Sleep
The Oura Ring uses high level sensors to track multiple factors related to sleep. There are countless studies showing sleep is one of the most important contributing factors to health, performance, mental well-being, and quality of life.
Recovery, Readiness, & Heart Rate Variability
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a common acceptance of physical recovery and readiness levels as well as a good indication stress and fatigue levels. The Oura Ring calculates your night-time HRV that provides a good view on autonomic nervous system activity.
Performance in Life and Work
The Oura Ring tracks your daily physical activity and exercise allowing you to understand the impact that activity has on your life. Oura makes it easy to hit your training goals as well as avoid overtraining.
High Level Data
Oura uses temperature sensors, infrared LEDS and 3D accelerometer/gyroscope to collect key vitals then uses algorithms to process the information into meaningful information high level data regarding sleep and recovery.
Convenience
The Oura Ring is designed as a ring because the arterial pulse at the finger delivers a significantly more accurate reading than what can be collected from the wrist or other parts of the body.
What Are People Saying About Oura Ring
I feel I have tested almost every fitness tracker. Many of them have valuable features. None are more convenient and, in my experience, reliable for overall daily activity readings and for sleep tracking and scores.
Measures my sleep and daily activity.
I use this to measure my sleep and specifically track my HRV. While there are other companies that track different fitness metrics, I’ve found Oura to be easy to use and very detailed in regards to sleep, recovery, and HRV.
Sleep is one of the pillars of good health and we’ve found the Oura ring to be helpful with sleep tracking and recovery. While many devices offer some basic sleep tracking, the data behind the HRV measurements with Oura are particularly high quality.
