"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"especially because of the battery life. ... The mouse I had right before this was the steelseries super light one, that was an every other day charge at minimum. Whereas this one is like once a week at most - and I work from home and game all night."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I do like the sleep metics. ... It’s not as simple as “did I sleep well” or “did I get enough sleep”. To me anyway, actual numbers are more informative. ... And keeping up with the journal helps — I found that my sleep was generally worse on work-from-home days, for example. Then I could modify and be sure I was active during the day."
"It’s been great for balancing strain/recovery/sleep. ... so having Whoop tell me which days I should go harder or lighter has made such a difference in my training regiment!"
"It’s really the whole scoring system I pay attention to. Not just sleep. I use it to adjust habits. ... - I’ve reduced drinking to only a few times a month. ... - I have added magnesium before bed for deeper sleep ... - I move rest days around if I need to if readiness is low ... - I add in extra cardio if the activity goal suggest more movement"

"I also have been optimizing my sleep and oura has been great to have as a north star. Is what im doing really impacting XYZ."
"I find the ring to be more accurate than the watch ... Ring best for sleep"
"it’s brilliant for telling me when I’m starting to shown signs of a flare or another illness. ... mainly the sleep and readiness pages. Says about mr hrv, what type of sleep I get etc I tend to miss deep sleep when I’m flaring. Resting heart rate and recovery index also show when I’m starting to drop a bit."

"I could not sleep with my watch on EVER but the ring is so easy to sleep with."
"The ring is amazing for sleep data (way more comfortable than wearing a chunky watch to bed)"
"I'm using the ring because im not comfortable with something on my wrist"

"And I also have Oura because I am a woman and track my cycle and ovulation for birth control purposes"
"I wanted it to track my cycle and help with family planning ... I just found out I’m pregnant which is in huge thanks to the ring"

"Support had me go through all the usual troubleshooting steps — no fix. ... I was told a replacement had been “processed” and would ship. ... It’s now been nearly two weeks and my order is still showing as “processing”. ... I’ve exchanged 24+ emails with Support. The replies are all scripted apologies and vague “please wait” responses. ... Their site promises 3–5 days for new orders, yet for a replacement I’ve paid almost $500 for, I’ve received nothing. ... I’ve asked for a refund policy and escalation, but I keep getting ignored."
"Ecovacs has the worst after sales of any company in any place of the world I have ever experienced. ... The company won’t take responsibility and goi around in circles. ... They wasted more than 6 months after talk to multiple people and site visits and it was escalated till the head of the after sales who I will name clearly: Tanmay Gangani, who is an absolute unprofessional and blatant liar with no sense of responsibility and ethics."
"I have never faced such a horrible service from any products in my life. ... Their service is ridiculous. ... The technician would come home and then inspect the device and raise a ticket for the spare part. So the spare part will be couriered to the customer directly after 2 or 3 weeks. Once this reaches your home, the technician will come again and replace that part. This is ridiculous. ... They don't provide service, they don't provide warranty. ... n one of my friends case, they had denied warranty saying there is fungus on board and its caused by water damage."

"I can't wear it while lifting."
"it is a terrible idea to wear an Oura ring while lifting anything. Degloving is a thing."
"Fell apart into 4 pieces the 2nd day I wore it."

"it's all beat up just in a few months or wearing doing yard work"
"It also will scar your phone screen since it’s titanium. ... Found that out the hard way."
"Lasted 1,5 weeks before it lost connection to phone. ... the replacement ring died 2 days ago. ... So now i’ll be getting my 3rd ring in 2 months."
I use both. I feel my Apple Watch is more accurate with HR, steps, workouts. My ring is for sleep and stress.
r/ouraring • Switch from Apple Watch? ->exactly feel the same way here. I replaced my apple watch with an Oura, but then when I became more serious about running, I grabbed a Garmin. I wanted to disconnect from my need of seeing my messages all the time, but track my workouts and my sleep. I only track my sleep from my ring and my watch is specific for running.
r/ouraring • Switch from Apple Watch? ->I also wear the Oura ring (gen 4, on right ring finger). Mine seems fine, I don’t bring my phone on the bench though so it’s all in device tracked and I know that can cause some gaps in tracking but it seems to get everything pretty well
r/hockeyplayers • Fitness trackers? ->it’s literally so bad, when i’m doing HIIT workouts/completely out of breath/can’t speak it always says I either spent a majority of the time in zone zero (which is supposedly “at rest or moving very slowly”!!) or it “fails to detect HR data” even though i click record workout. and i have gen 4! i put in a support request a few times and they are supposed to send a free replacement but i feel like it’s just an inherent issue
r/ouraring • Has anyone noticed how bad the Oura Ring is at workouts compared to the Apple Watch? ->I have both. Often, it appears the readings are for different people. Oura has me awake when I am asleep and asleep when I am awake. My sleep metrics seem more accurate with Oura aside from deep sleep which can be 14 minutes on Oura and an hour on Apple. My HRV has always been very low, even though I seem to be very fit and healthy. Oura’s average is 29 and Apple 20. Apple is far more efficient at determining lowest RHR at night.
r/ouraring • Switch from Apple Watch? ->Oura ring is the best on the market right now. But this is a ring, not a smartwatch. For smartwatch go for Polar
r/BuyFromEU • Any fitness tracker recommendations from europe? ->I got rid of my Apple Watch earlier this year and only wear the Oura ring. I like not being distracted by a small screen on my wrist, not to mention how ugly it looks. I mostly use the Oura ring data for sleep and readiness. Since I lift weights, I use scosche for my workouts. But I just ordered the AirPods Pro 3 which also has heart rate workout tracking, so that might replace the scosche. Overall, I am completely happy to not have an Apple Watch.
r/ouraring • Switch from Apple Watch? ->there are third party data analysis options available. and yes, i agree, if you're a serious athlete, it's where AW falls short. actually, if you do lifting or climbing or, hell, even rowing, the oura is uncomfortable - and in some cases, actively dangerous (you sure as hell should not climb with a ring on)
r/whoop • My HONEST review of the 5 MG. ->Smh one time I saw someone with an apple watch, a whoop, and an oura at the same time so you're good Eta I saw another commenter say that they had this and all I gotta say is you better do a writeup with your recommendations
r/whoop • How many wearables is too many?! ->If you had to recommend one to someone who mostly uses their whoop for sleep but does like the daily strain and stress monitor and also lifts often, which would it be?? I've had whoop for so long but i'm curious about oura! I just worry that I would take it off for so many activities that I wouldnt be able to go back and compare my days as well.
r/whoop • How many wearables is too many?! ->Oura also fucked people over even worse, which is one reason I went with the Whoop - Oura was "pay for the hardware, the app is free" and then moved to paid hardware and a paid subscription and bricked the devices of everyone who didn't want to pay for a subscription. Other reason I went with the Whoop is I lift weights and didn't want to scratch up my ring during training.
r/whoop • This MG thing feels like such a slap in the face as a user for the last 4 years. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
