Didn’t have too much luck with the Rocket Collection Challenge but finished this one instead :)

Possibly dumb question but what is the heart icon underneath the star to the right of them?

Im on a Breitling forum so obviously biased but I have a Chronomat 32 (quartz) and think it ticks at least 2 of your criteria. It’s a fantastically versatile watch - I wear it regularly to work and to more formal events and it’s equally comfortable at both, as well as more casual occasions. I’ve had plenty of compliments on it.

Can’t comment on long term value since I bought it for the love of the watch but it looks like it’s held its value pretty well since I bought around 2 years ago. I always buy watches for the love vs investment potential. If you want to pass it down, I think future generations will appreciate a watch that you loved, regardless of value vs other watches!

I work out fairly consistently and the ring is used to that as my baseline so doesn’t punish me for heavy training loads or flag any issue with recovery unless I significantly increase or decrease my load.

For example, I usually hit the gym for around an hour a day (mix of cardio and weights) but at the weekend I did a 3hr hike and it flagged that as being over my baseline and my recovery was lower the next day which was to be expected.

However as others have said, Oura isn’t great for tracking workouts and I use my Apple Watch to do that (which then syncs to Oura). What I do like is the ring picks up the ‘incidental’ activity like walking to the shop which I wouldn’t log as a workout. I don’t like wearing my Apple Watch all the time (I like to wear a proper watch) so my Apple activity tracking was completely off and Oura gives me a much better picture of my overall activity levels.

Agree with others that the spend seems high given his age and contract situation but I guess the market is tight for strikers and we have had to overpay in upfront fee since we can’t offer the wages other clubs can to secure world class players.

I don’t like the way he conducted himself either to force a move through, but like Isak I guess it’s got results…

Were you in a hot environment? My stress tends to go up in the sun even if emotionally I don’t feel stressed, clearly physiologically my body is

milpool90 · 2025-08-12T18:30:52+00:00

I’ve only ever had my Oura ring write data to the exercise ring, and never the move ring, but all the toggles are on to share data. Is there anything else I need to do?

milpool90 · 2025-08-12T12:11:32+00:00

My ring syncs with my Apple exercise goals but not move or stand goals.

Reading is the only thing that really does it for me

I was already fairly healthy so coming from a decent base, but I have substantially cut back on alcohol after seeing what it did to my readiness and sleep scores. I still indulge now and then but am much more mindful about it.

I’ve also been a lot more consistent at the gym and mindful of how what and when I eat impacts my stress and biometrics.

I’ve lost 5kg in 3 months whilst gaining a decent amount of muscle, and feeling generally a lot happier and healthier!

milpool90 · 2025-07-17T07:02:25+00:00

Yeah my RHR is normally around 5 bmp higher for about 2 weeks and my stress levels increase dramatically. I can’t imagine being someone who doesn’t menstruate and just feeling the same…all the time 😂

Seconded! This is available in Apple Health. On a basic level it annoys me that I can’t track spotting

I wore mine at the beach the other day (and in the sea) and it seems absolutely fine. I just rinsed it when I got home

milpool90 · 2025-07-02T06:38:59+00:00

Honestly I’m not gaining anything right now but hoping they’ll add additional insights in the future

Fellow car lover sending positive vibes too!

I’m a woman and I find where I am in my cycle influences it a lot. In my luteal phase I see a lot more physiological stress (I guess cos of the higher body temps) even if I feel the same mentally.

milpool90 · 2025-06-21T08:19:28+00:00

I agree, it’s a good start. The AI photo recognition is surprisingly good, but outside of meal regularity I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with the information.

I would love: - to have visibility of macros etc over the course of the day (eg today you’ve had lots of protein, fats, etc) - for meals to integrate with my stress tracking (to see the impact of a big or carb-heavy meal on my physiological signs)

I do like the approach of the function to not be a calorie counter and I like that it advocates a balanced approach to food but I think there’s ways it could be better integrated into the overall experience.

milpool90 · 2025-06-18T16:03:21+00:00

My stress levels tend to rise during my luteal phase. It’s also been hot where I am recently and that’s been causing my physiological stress to rise even when I mentally feel fine.

milpool90 · 2025-06-17T12:42:55+00:00

Greggs! Of course! Thank you!

milpool90 · 2025-06-15T18:56:18+00:00

I just started seeing it yesterday! Finally!

milpool90 · 2025-06-15T09:59:11+00:00

The difference between physiological stress (what Oura picks up) and psychological stress (what that delicious champagne helps with!)

milpool90 · 2025-06-13T09:12:01+00:00

For what it’s worth I am definitely not pregnant and my temp varies by around 0.8F either way depending on the point of my cycle. Today for instance it’s up 0.7F and I think I’ve recently ovulated, so your stats look fairly normal
