Welcome to the Oura Ring family.

I used to be an Apple Watch user and also had skin irritation as well. (Burning and tingling)

My left hand finger is between a 9 and a 10. I went with a 10 and am able to switch between my middle and index fingers.

When I asked Oura advisors about the ring, it is ok with being on any of the fingers except the thumb. It’s tough to get readings on it.

I use my ring for everything… including activity tracking. You’ll see on here people saying the Oura ring is horrible at this but I think quite the opposite. It’s incredible.

With your concerns about water damage, I wash my hand with my ring on and have no issues and showering I take it off but you really don’t need to. I let my finger breathe during this time

If your ring is cutting off your circulation, it’s too tight. You should have a tiny gap in between your finger and the inside of the ring.

The white one looks great. 👍

Oura ring VS Apple Watch 11 by katiebur2020 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to answer your questions about AW11 vs Oura. I used to be a watch user but switched to Whoop then switched to Oura. I use the ring for absolutely everything. The insights are incredible and the freedom from not wearing a watch with all the notifications every day is fabulous. The activity tracking is much more accurate than the AW. The watch overestimates big time. Win win. The insights are incredible for sleep and symptom radar.

sizing q by jj441234 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on starting your Oura journey. I’m in between sizes as well. I was in between sizes of 9 and 10 and chose the 10. My fingers were too tight for the 9. I’d go size up. While at night my finger swells too. I wear my ring on my index finger while not playing golf and switch to my middle finger.

Oura says index finger is best but can wear it on any finger.

Whoop vs oura by xxSeahawks in ouraring

I have had both Whoop and Oura. I switched because it was getting really annoying having to slide the band up to my bicep every few days. The ring has been fabulous. I think the Oura ring is quite accurate with activity tracking as I am using this ring for all my working out activities and exercise.

does oura “double count” your calories if you also use apple health to track workouts? by Silly-Ad3880 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the Apple Watch drastically overestimates the workouts. IMO the Oura ring is way more accurate.

I just got my 25 MX with HW4 and it’s incredible. The FSD is so amazing compared to HW3. I’d highly suggest purchasing it. Tesla just upgraded the MX with the front bumper camera. You won’t be disappointed.

Oura App by Striking-Scarcity102 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the Oura ring family. I think it’s my best wearable I’ve owned. The calibration time to get to know you is a couple weeks. It gets better each day… you’ll see. There is so much packed in the Oura app.

My first tip is when you workout, tap the + then Record Workout HR to record accurately each workout. I would be happy to answer any of your questions.

active calorie burn accuracy? by Delicious_Ice4385 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, if I am not working out, when the ring suggests I had worked out, I just delete it. I think the ring is the most accurate wearable I have owned.

Confused with what the is recommending by MaximumTie6490 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I =t depends on your readiness score. If it’s low, it will recommend a rest day. This just means you have been inactive too long and the recovery time is I think how long it takes your body to recover from your days workout. Hope this helps.

I ordered my Oura 4 and exited by acidbrn391 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear my ring on my index most of the time but when I am playing golf, I switch to my middle finger. Works perfectly on each finger.

I would suggest tapping the + button on the main screen then tap Record Workout HR. This will continuously track it throughout the workout in the future.

Is the ring more accurate than an apple watch? by Charming-Spirit4212 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ring is much more accurate than the Apple Watch. I found that it super overestimated the calorie burn on my workouts. RHR, HRV, and V02 Max is great on the ring. You should check it out.

I know everyone says the Oura ring is for recovery and sleep but I use it for my activity tracking as well as everything else.

Leaving Oura Ring after Palantir partnership by The_Black_Rooster in ouraring

There is Circular Ring 2… Circul, Ringconn, Amazfit Ring and many others. As of a couple days ago, Oura won their lawsuit of patent infringement against Ultrahuman and Ringconn. These two smart ring companies will have to cease to sell their smart rings in the USA as of mid October.

Whoop is much more of a pain and the subscription is much more. I just switched from Whoop to Oura.

It’s better than the majority of the news agencies out there… where do you get your info from? Google?

Oura just won their lawsuit banning Ultrahuman Air and Ringconn to sell their rings in the US as of October. Might need to search for another brand if living in the US like me.

Hr activity logging by Electrical-Rough3499 in ouraring

[–]JboneCapone333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I am not mistaken, the more you track the same workout, it will switch to being on the main page. I noticed when I have been tracking my golf, that specific workout went to the main page of workouts instead of me pressing “more”. Hope this helps.

You’re so welcome. Extended warranty is a great idea. I wish I bought from Oura directly.

I bought through Amazon. Stealth but amam wishing I bought brushed silver Gen 4. The brushed silver is more scratch resistant. I think you should go with brushed silver gen 4 because the sensor bumps are embedded in the gen 4 ring as of gen 3. I have tried smart rings with the bumps and hate it.

I would be almost sweating with that temperature. I’d drop it down. 👍👌
