This is so you can compare data against what you do and consume to figure out how your day-to-day life is impacting your sleep and performance.
The "moments" feature has guided and unguided breathing and meditation exercises which contribute to the activity score.įinally, you can "tag" other things you do during day, such as eating food, drinking alcohol or taking a nap. Oura also encourages rest as part of your routine. Here, Oura generates approximate step and calorie burn counts, as well as a daily movement chart.
You can manually add other workout types that don't involve walking or running, such as rowing or strength training. It uses an accelerometer to track steps and shows you how many calories you've burnt throughout the day. It's pretty comparable to mid-range fitness trackers from other brands in terms of data, but it doesn't go on your wrist. This section handles fitness functions which basically boil down to step tracking and calorie burning. Scores provide a quick reference point each morning, with some additional data in each category. These serve as a baseline to figure out where you can improve aspects of your sleep and health, or stay the course if you're happy with the results. If you sit around all day and barely build up steps, your "activity" score may be in the 60s. If you go to bed at a reasonable hour and get a good night's sleep, your "sleep" score will be in the 90s for example. The daily scores are a kind of snapshot to track your progress. However, Oura won't record your active heart rate. It can also measure resting heart rate (HRH) and provide heart rate variability (HRV) data. However, it can become uncomfortable and a little painful if your exercise involves gripping, such as chin-ups, or pressure on the hand, like push-ups.ĭata is broken down into three key areas: The ring is light, a little bigger than a typical piece of jewellery, water resistant up to 100m and its battery lasts up to seven days. The app can also sync to Google and Apple Health if you prefer to use them instead. This serves as the interface for reviewing scores, logging data and reviewing fitness and sleep advice supplied by Oura. It connects to an app via Bluetooth, where it regularly updates data every 20 minutes or so. Though some raw data is available, most of it is interpreted and presented as daily scores. It tracks your heart rate, temperature and movement to assess your level of activity and sleep patterns. The Oura Ring (Gen 2), as the name implies, puts the functions of a fitness band in a ring that you can wear on any finger. Though the ring and app have undergone some changes this review may still be useful. We looked at the second generation Oura Ring which has since been discontinued and replaced with the Oura Ring Gen 3. We have found numerous reports online from customers in similar situations. UPDATE: Some CHOICE members have experienced delivery delays and poor customer service when seeking exchanges and/or refunds from Oura. But while the exercise aspects are fine for people who want to be more active, hardcore fitness fanatics will find the feedback lacking.
Sleep tracking is great with useful data that can help you achieve more effective rest each night. Though it claims to be an all-round activity tracker, it's more of a fitness-focused sleep tracker with some activity functions thrown in. This is where the Oura Ring (Gen 2) fits in. Why? A good night's rest can impact the effectiveness of your diet and exercise regimen, as well as mental and physical wellbeing. Sleep tracking tools have become a popular addition to many fitness bands over the last year or two.
