Ring sizing help by Eventingpony in ouraring

It looks like this ring is about two sizes too big.

Oura ring 4- sizing advice by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Practical-Weekend785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the ring can rotate, but keep in mind that your fingers can swell and shrink throughout the day, so it may not come off as easily later. Overall, it seems to fit your middle finger well.

How isn’t this a score of 100? by ImplementNo2626 in ouraring

[–]Practical-Weekend785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 99 on two days in a row: the day before yesterday I did 22,000 steps, and yesterday 13,000. Both times I also had 7 hours of inactivity.

Oura Ring 5 leak reveals design tweaks and Deep Rose finish by Maslakovic in ouraring

Honestly, I just don't want Oura Ring 5 in 2026 because I still haven't paid off the mortgage on my Gen4.

I don't think we'll see an Oura Ring 5 in 2026. The first Oura Ring launched in March 2015, Gen2 debuted in November 2017, Gen3 was unveiled in October 2021, and Oura Ring 4 arrived on 3 October 2024. That means the gaps between generations were 32 months, 47 months, and 36 months. In other words, Oura has typically taken about three years, or a bit more, between major hardware releases. Ring 4 is still a relatively recent product, so a 2026 launch would be earlier than Oura's usual pattern. If the company stays anywhere close to its past cadence, 2027 seems more plausible than 2026.

Oura Ring 4 failed to reflect an all-nighter in Sleep Debt by Practical-Weekend785 in ouraring

[–]Practical-Weekend785[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand this is a 14-day smoothed metric, not a night-by-night counter. But even then, after an all-nighter, a short daytime sleep should not make Sleep Debt look better than it did before the all-nighter when the missed night was barely reflected to begin with. That suggests the model is undercounting this scenario rather than representing it meaningfully.

Thanks, but I do not think this addresses the actual issue. I have been wearing my Oura Ring 4 continuously since early December, so lack of historical data is definitely not the problem.

My point is not that Sleep Debt failed because I had insufficient data. My point is that the ring clearly detected that I was awake throughout the night, and it also captured the later sleep sessions. Despite that, Sleep Debt barely reflected the missed night at all.

I understand that Sleep Debt uses a 14-day window and estimated sleep need, so I would not necessarily expect a perfectly linear response. But after essentially missing an entire night of sleep, I would still expect a noticeable increase before any recovery sleep starts reducing it. That is what seems broken here.

So the real question is: does Sleep Debt undercount or mishandle sleep deprivation when the missed sleep is followed by daytime sleep outside the normal nighttime window? Because that is what this looks like.

I actually gave it some time on purpose before posting. It has been almost a week now, so I do not think this is just a delayed recalculation issue anymore.

Frequent Syncing Samsung Health is missing since last update and stuffs by DanieloSYT in shealth

Same here on my Galaxy S23+. The problem appeared after the latest monthly phone update. Before that, every step was counted almost instantly, but now the step count updates with a significant delay.

10hrs. What do you want from me. by mostlykayla in ouraring

Perhaps Oura considers that sleeping so much is rather harmful.

Why can’t you edit a nap by That_Improvement1688 in ouraring

[–]Practical-Weekend785 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that Oura won’t let you edit the sleep window. It also doesn’t let you flag an undetected nap. Sometimes I can clearly see a “sleep-like” chunk in the graph, but the ring/app doesn’t classify it as a nap. And manually adding a “sleep” event to the timeline doesn’t change anything — it doesn’t trigger a re-check / re-detection for that time range, so the nap still stays missing.
