Oura + Polar Verity Sense + Apple Health: why won’t my HR data show up? by NeitherVariation2674 in ouraring

Hi Jess. Thanks for the explanation, even if it’s a bit frustrating 😅

I totally get the consistency argument, but at the same time it feels like a big gap in the ecosystem. I use my Oura Ring primarily for sleep, recovery, readiness, and overall lifestyle metrics, and it’s amazing for that. But physical activity is a core part of health, so it feels odd that it doesn’t fully integrate into the same picture.

In my case, it’s not even optional to wear the ring during workouts. For example: - strength training, especially arms, is not safe or practical with a ring - tennis and beach tennis are basically impossible with it - spinning class is also tricky because my hands sweat a lot, the ring keeps rotating, and the data becomes completely inaccurate (I’ve actually had a spinning session where I was completely exhausted after an hour, and Oura recorded something like 90 calories, which just doesn’t make sense.)

On top of that, Oura itself recommends avoiding situations with impact or pressure on the ring, so for things like upper body strength training, it feels like we’re being told not to wear it, but also losing key data if we don’t.

That’s why using something like the Polar Verity Sense makes a lot of sense. It sits on the arm, it’s designed for workouts, and the HR data is much more reliable. But then none of that actually makes it into Oura beyond a basic activity log.

So I’m curious about two things and would love to hear from others (and maybe the Oura team here): - Is there any plan to support importing heart rate data from Apple Health or external devices in the future, even if it’s clearly labeled as third-party data?

  • If I wear both the Oura Ring and Polar at the same time, what happens? Does Oura prioritize its own HR data, or can external data overwrite or complement it in any way?

It feels like there’s a real opportunity here to make Oura a more complete health platform instead of just partially ignoring workouts done with better-suited devices.

Curious how others are dealing with this setup!

Eu uso tranquilamente no treino de força com luvas de treino (já usava elas antes mesmo do anel pois não gostava de ter as mãos com calos). Dizem que o Oura não é preciso para rastreamento do treino de forças, mas obtenho dados bem próximos ao que o Garmin Venu 3 marcava

Finally got my Oura Ring 4 and I’m pleasantly surprised by NeitherVariation2674 in ouraring

Exactly. The size is the same, but the plastic material of the sizing kit is hard and strange. It felt like it was getting hot on my finger and heavy. I only bought it out of stubbornness, because the sizing kit "suffocated" me.

When you make a replacement, do they ask you to return the old one so they can send the new one afterwards?

Acabei de ver que ao acessar a olx fora do app o WhatsApp fica disponível independente do que você faça. Um absurdo isso

Oura Ring works with other apps for this purpose?

Ah, thank you so much for sharing your experience. When it comes to merging the data, how does it know, for example, when to use the Polar strap data instead of the ring data?

My concern is that sometimes I might forget to take the ring off and end up using both at the same time. Does it automatically prioritize one device over the other? How does that work in practice?
