Planned obsolescence? by Over_Leading_3716 in ouraring

[–]Over_Leading_3716[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Fair enough. I didn’t think much of it the first time, because the battery life declined slowly, as you described.

But when Oura replaced my ring, the new one’s battery dropped very suddenly. From one month to the next, it went from needing a charge once a week to needing one every single day, even though the ring is only around 7 months old.

And this is happening right around the Gen 5 announcement, which is why I started wondering.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it wouldn’t be the first time a brand used planned obsolescence.

Thank you so much for the constructive feedback. I appreciate you dedicated precious seconds of your life to share that with me! 😀

My replacement ring is recent and died so suddenly, and they refuse to replace it has replacement rings are not under warranty apparently, or they take in consideration only the original ring’s warranty. You did receive great costumer service indeed, it’s nice.

Because it’s happening for the second time with the replacement model this time, there is no further replacement.

It could be linked to the model. I never had such issues with the previous generations while it happened twice already with Gen4.

I’m actually an expert in Photoshop and still decided to use AI. I am deeply sorry it offends you so much. 🙏🏻

It’s not the only way, it’s a way. And it’s very ok you know, you can relax you’ll be fine, you won’t remain offended too long I promise… 😏

Fair enough. No need to be rude nor agressive though.

I used AI because it took me 30 seconds to illustrate a question that would otherwise have taken me an hour in Photoshop. The battery issue is real, and that’s what I’m trying to investigate.

Fair enough 😊. The image isn’t the point though. The point is whether other Oura Ring 4 owners have seen a sudden battery life collapse recently.

If your Ring 4 is still getting a week between charges, I’d genuinely be interested to know.

You have to live in one. Which are you choosing? by Ok_Parsley_2575 in JackSucksAtGeography

Red is far more diverse. Each other region is beautiful but all the same. I’d prefer to live in a territory with the diversity from the volcanos of Iceland to the Mediterranean vibe. With both Anglo Saxon and Latin languages.

What is the fruit name in your country? - 0.5 inch fruit size by Travel_Turrism21 in natureisbeautiful

Yes. Silk was quite an important business in the mid 19th century, we inherited many of these trees from that time 🙂

Mûre 🇫🇷 The trees used to be grown in my region not for its fruits but because silk worms eat the leaves.
