The data is summarized and individual data points on spO2 and heart rate aren't accessible
The ring scratches pretty easily (I chose basic silver)
Actual battery life is more like 3-4 days
Ring is quite comfortable and light
Customer service is top notch
Sleep tracking is very accurate
Bestbuy pickup and return is seamless
Ultimately I returned it because I wanted to see more data. It's nice to see I've had 6 interrupted sleeping events, but show me what my blood oxygen was for them. I would also like for it to allow blood oxygen monitoring during activity and to tell me what my heart rate was at any given time, not a summarized range.
If oura would share the raw data with the end user, I would have kept the ring. As a paid service, it simply wasn't telling me enough specific information.
Don't forget that oura ring is hsa/fsa approved, and so is the subscription.
$70/year plus a ~$250 ring that apparently gets scratched easily is quite a bit of extra money. Plus one more expensive thing to charge and lose. As much as I like useful toys, the specs seem fairly redundant.

Especially curious to know if any of 'em have gone beyond "interesting" into "useful"
I am unable to find pickup in store option when purchasing from OURARING.

It knew I was getting a cold almost 48hrs before I felt any notable symptoms. It uses heart rate + body temperature (and maybe spo2) to gauge stress and gives you recommendations for when you need to relax more (or vice versa, lets you know your 'readiness' score is high and can take more on during the day). Sleep tracking is on par with apple watch, but the way the data is presented is much more intuitive - plus the oura battery lasts a full week, so it's actually conducive to use as a sleep tracker.

I'm really interested in what this ring actually adds to the information I already receive free with the price of hardware on my Apple Watch (Ultra2).
$70/year plus a ~$250 ring that apparently gets scratched easily is quite a bit of extra money. Plus one more expensive thing to charge and lose. As much as I like useful toys, the specs seem fairly redundant.

This is really about two things:
1) Sleep tracking which is hard to do with a watch that needs charging at night and is uncomfortable
2) menstrual cycle tracking (body temp)
My wife has a Garmin smart watch and loves the combo. This is a great price.

Thanks for the reply. I switched over to Apple Watches many years ago to handle my sleep tracking and have never had a model that couldn't make it through the night. I charge it up upon awakening when I shower, takes roughly half an hour or less.
Wrist temp and O2 are on my model, plus I'm a guy, so that eliminates menstrual tracking needs for me.
