OURA
Oura Ring 4
A titanium ring that tracks sleep and health metrics through an app. For someone who wants tracking but doesn't want to wear a watch.
$399
This is a smart ring — it tracks your sleep, heart rate, and activity, but it looks and feels like a regular ring. No screen. Water-resistant to 100 meters, so you can shower and swim with it on.
It syncs to the Oura app on your phone. You get basic daily scores for free, but detailed insights require a membership ($6/month after the first month). Battery lasts about a week, charges in under an hour.
The ring itself is seamless titanium inside and out. Weighs about as much as a wedding band. You wear it all the time — that's the point.
Why it works
- Tracks sleep and health without wearing a watch to bed.
- Water-resistant enough for daily showers and swimming.
- Week-long battery — charge it once while you get ready.
Who it's for
- Someone who wants sleep tracking but hates wearing a watch.
- A person already into health metrics who'd wear it daily.
What to know
- Needs a newer phone — iOS 16+ or Android 10+ with Bluetooth 4.0.
- Detailed insights cost $6/month after the first free month.
- One-year warranty. Battery isn't covered if it wears out.
