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.

Oura is a premium, niche product. Its not for everyone. There are competing rings out there. Each have their pros and cons. The biggest issue people have with Oura is their subscription model, making it an ongoing payment model. Currently, its $5.99/month. I completely anticipate it to be higher over time.
If you are on samsung phones, their ring meshes with it well. Unfortunately, it won't work with apple phones, and based on my research, there's nothing in development by apple. I don't think we'll see a ring from apple anytime soon. There's even some rumors that apple may acquire Oura. Please correct or inform me if anyone knows more about that.
On reddit, many users have both, an apple watch and the oura ring. Health data meshed with each other's apps well so its a good solution for those who don't like wearing a watch during sleep. Many also wear the ring who enjoy wearing their nicer (rolex, omega, etc) watches and yet monitor their health measurements. Oura does not replace a fitness watch. The ring simply does not capture all the parameters that a good fitness watch offers.
So, is Oura (or any other ring) is a good solution for you? Do your research to determine if it fits in your lifestyle.
Other brands out there; Ultra human and Ring Conn are also quite popular.
I recently changed health insurance. Is there a card I need to use or can I buy the ring and send receipt to insurance? Thanks. I grew up in the UK and am not familiar with US health insurance other than it seems extremely complicated and full of potential pitfalls!
Most programs also allow you to use left over funds from previous year till March 15th of the current year. Just make sure what you are buying is eligible under FSA rules [irs.gov]. Generally, it is safe to buy from FSAStore.com (even though some items are priced higher than other stores) to avoid the risk of something not getting approved.
if you have a target nearby, they have ring sizes on display that you can try on.
The Ultrahuman AIR is buggy as hell comparatively (I have both). So you definitely get what you (don't) pay for…
