Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon
4.3-star average rating from 2,318 reviews on Amazon
If you’re on the fence about the Oura Ring, NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz says, “The Oura Ring is best for anyone who doesn’t want to wear something bulky on their wrist, but still wants to track some health and fitness habits. It delivers very accurate sleep and health data, and doesn’t require much input from the wearer.” During his testing, the battery life could last about a week, and it was incredibly easy to top it up by simply placing it on a charging dock.
The Oura Ring is an incredibly accurate sleep tracker. One of Rabinowitz’s favorite features was the sleep trends function. “With Sleep Trends, I can see changes in data points like my bedtime, time in bed and wake-up time, things I have more control over than stats like deep sleep and restfulness.” The Oura Ring also automatically detects when you start a workout. The ring also has a subscription service. Without a subscription, you can only see daily scores for sleep, activity and readiness, according to the brand. With it, you get full data history, detailed sleep analysis, advanced temperature monitoring, blood oxygen sensing and resilience data (complete membership benefits here). You can currently get the Oura Ring 3 on sale for $249, its lowest price ever.
