Oura Ring 4 - Rose Gold - Size 8 - Size Before You Buy

I discovered the Oura Ring 4 through the Clue period tracking app, and it’s been a total game-changer. I live with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and AuDHD, and I was looking for something that could help me track sleep, stress, body temperature, and recovery. Oura delivers on all fronts—and then some. What I love most is the accuracy and depth of insight. It doesn’t just give you only the minimal data, like Deep, Light and REM sleep, but also things like how long it takes you to get to sleep (latency) and how restless you are —it then translates this into genuinely helpful feedback, like sleep and recovery scores, body temperature trends, and guided breathing for stress. The daily readiness score helps me pace myself, which is essential when managing fatigue and sensory overwhelm. The breathing and mindfulness sessions have been a great tool during flare-ups or overstimulation. A few things to note: There is a monthly app subscription, but it’s reasonably priced for what you get. I also got a month free when I signed up. The app is intuitive and easy to navigate, though some people might need a bit of time to explore all its features—there are a lot, and they’re all useful. It takes about 90 days for Oura to fully calibrate and understand your individual baseline, so the insights get better over time. Buying the sizing kit first is a MUST—you’ll want a good fit for accuracy and comfort. Tagging activities and meals is super simple (if you remember to do it). The Rest Mode is a thoughtful feature for days when you’re sick, in pain, or recovering, though I do wish stress tracking stayed active during this mode. Battery life is solid, syncing is quick, and the ring itself is lightweight and comfortable—even with sensory sensitivities. It also integrates beautifully with Clue for cycle tracking, which adds another layer of helpful data for me. If you're managing chronic illness, neurodivergence, or just want a deeper, more holistic view of your health, I can’t recommend the Oura Ring 4 enough. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about understanding your body, honoring your limits, and supporting your wellbeing.

I was keen to utilise technology to help with my fitness, but love mechanical watches so a smart-watch wasn't an option. Came across this and after some research I gave it a punt. Very happy customer, the ring is a doddle to set up and works a treat. Battery life is a snadge less than advertised but not enough to make me dock points. It's a shame about the subscription, as I think the ring is costly enough that it's something of a liberty to charge for ongoing use, they could lose things like the guided meditation etc and give a free option, or bake in more value-add to the app. Enough moaning though, what it does it does really well, giving me insights into my sleep patterns and broader health. I am happy I bought it and check the app at least daily months after buying.

The app is brilliant. It takes a while to get to know you, so don't expect instant insights, but as it builds a picture it is really good at telling you what's going on. I am using it to track my food etc as well, so not exclusively related to what's happening on the ring. On the ring specifically? Well, it is chunkier than a ring you'd buy as jewellery. That's ok and it's not ridiculous, but you have to get used to it. I do find I take it off and put it on more, or change fingers, as my hand needs a rest. The colour... Despite the name stealth, does stand out. If you want something more subtle then brushed or silver is probably better, as it's more like typical jewellery. That being said, I've gotten used to it. Sizing - definitely get the sizing kit and wear not for a few mins but for a day or two to understand how your fingers change size. Battery life is good. I reckon 8 charge it once every 4 otlr 5 days so far. I understand turning off blood oxygen measuring is the way to really eek out more battery life. You can also use airplane mode to reduce how often it speaks to your phone. But yeah, no regrets, it's a great tool and honestly, easier to live with than a smart watch.

I hesitated for a while before investing in this gadget. And I love my Gadgets! but after doing some homework on the competition, I decided to jump for it. First, the fit and metal colour are great, I couldn't be happier, the quality and durability is insane, i do everything with it, I rarely take it off. The connectivity to my Samsung Z Fold6 was flawless, no hiccups, plus, everything you open the app, it updates in no time. so great compatibility. Now, you need to give it time to gather data about you, of course... it will not happen overnight which is quite right, but the intel you get afterwards is great. Your body age, sleep quality, energy available, your stress, it is such a great little ring. it is a lot of money for such a small device but the value for money is worth it. I highly recommend it if you are curious and want to be nudge in the right direction for better health.

Doesn’t track steps accurately, doesn’t log sleep properly either. Went for a 95 minute walk yesterday, Apple Watch tracked 11000 steps, oura ring only tracked 2000, you need to manually swing your arm when walking or it doesn’t log the steps, which means if your pushing a pushchair or have your hands in your pocket or typing/talking on your phone, it won’t register your walk, which is ridiculous in 2026 for something so pricey, constantly having to think having your arms swinging by your side. I was up from 12.30am until 3.30pm last night with a crying baby, once again the apple watches picked this up and logged 3hrs 25minutes wake time, the oura however said 2hrs and a ‘good nights rest’, isn’t accurate at all and would stick with an Apple Watch if you want the most accurate results, I bought this as I got fed up of the daily charging of my watch but the ring is no use if it isn’t anywhere near accurate.

Tracks biometrics pretty accurately. Has a premium price plus a subscription. Add to the fact that they scratch quite easily it’s not a 5 star. Comfortable to wear, much more comfortable than a watch

Amazing! The price was excellent, the quality is great, it tracks my sleep, my meals, my daily activity and it looks elegant and sleek. You can wear it for days and the battery lasts a lot. The best Christmas present!

I like my oura ring, I have compared different health monitoring technologies and decided to keep this. It works better paired with Apple Watch as it validates data across multiple technologies but works great as its own. There is a monthly subscription fee but it is good value for money and looks good when worn.
