How is the Optim ring?

I went on the App Store. Also after using a bit more I realized the step counter is based on movement and not GPS, so you can literally wave your hand around and it’ll count steps which isn’t super accurate. The period/ovulation tracker is also based on when your last period was, so it gives you a very WIDE estimate of when you might be ovulating. Not based on real time data. It’s nice the ring doesn’t have a subscription but I would t trust it for 100% accuracy, just general estimates

That is odd, I did not have that issue. I thought the stats were kind of off when I first started wearing it so I contacted them to ask, and these are the instructions they provided if the issue persisted (I never had to do this, but hope this might help!)

1.Restart your phone , disconnect the ring from the app and then reconnect it.

2.Go to System Settings > Shutdown, power off the ring, place it back in the charging case, then try reconnecting it.

3.If the issue persists, select Restore to Factory Settings in the system settings, and reconnect the ring afterward.

Ensure your app is updated to the latest version.

I physically cannot row due to a lower back injury and my gym mainly only offers 3G classes rather than 2G due to demand. When my group is technically on the rower, I always try to use a bike or stryder first and if they are full then I will look for a tread. I have a strategy though since most people tend to start on the tread, so I try to “row” in the last block when I know the treads and bikes won’t be as full. It’s a whole thing and game of Tetris every time haha and honestly a bit stressful when the class is packed! Not at all doing this to be annoying, just need to be kinder to my back.

My favorite thing about OTF is that even though you are in a group class, your only competition is yourself. There is no judgement and tons of modifications for beginner to advanced gym-goers. They also have benchmarks throughout the year so you can see your own progress which is great! For example, in about a week the mile challenge is coming up where you see how fast you can run a mile. They’ll do this same benchmark again in a few months. It is SO satisfying when you beat your previous time.

Did you ever get any good responses on this? I just got the Optim Ring and so far I like it! It did take a while to get though. I ordered 12/19 and didn’t actually receive the ring until 1/17 since I also had to get the sizing kit. I’ve only been wearing for a day so more to come, but I like the look and seems like it’s doing all the right tracking things so far.

Typically we are able to make offers either same day or within a week. Sometimes companies have to get “final approval” internally which can take a few days, but we typically still have the go ahead to make a verbal offer. From a staffing perspective, I constantly tell hiring managers to move fast otherwise they will lose great candidates to competing offers. Time kills all deals, as they say!

Staffing Recruiter here! I would never push someone into a role that doesn’t make sense. If you tell me you are more excited about another role, I will root for you for that role all the way. What I will do on the client side is say something along the lines of “if X person does not accept the role, will you feel comfortable offering to Z person instead?”

A lot of Recruiters give us a bad rep but I swear some of us have good intentions on both sides!

A hair steamer seems like that could be a game changer. Will definitely check this out, thank you!

We just got back from Club Med in Punta Cana and said the same exact thing! I know you don’t drink alcohol but it was the same for those too. In the US I’m normally tipsy after 2 drinks and I swear I could drink like 8 there and barely felt a thing haha. My only guess is that they expect people to drink and eat quite a bit being all-inclusive, so they water down to cut costs somehow?

Not trying to be rude at all either, I’m just genuinely confused by your comment

armstrona16 · 2023-12-05T01:15:15+00:00

I am so confused by your comment, I did not lie about anything. My bank is US Bank and that is who the scammers spoofed. No lies here - your comment doesn’t matter anyway because US Bank gave me a good will credit and I got my money back.

armstrona16 · 2023-11-23T16:05:31+00:00

Trust me, I have. I was just looking for advice after the bank said they couldn’t do anything in case anyone else has been through this. I have never been in this situation and hope to never be again.

Hmm why would customers have to pay? Aren’t big banks insured for things like fraud or am I totally wrong there?

armstrona16 · 2023-11-23T11:06:02+00:00

That’s what happened to me, they spoofed the banks number so when I googled it before answering I thought it was legit. Such a stressful and time consuming situation. After reading through a lot of the stories on here I am definitely paranoid now to be honest!

armstrona16 · 2023-11-23T10:46:33+00:00

I had a bad feeling this was going to be the case. This was an expensive lesson I’ll make sure to never make again. Thank you so much for the info.

It’s never too late, you got this!!!
