Oura ring
Hi B. & Daniel,Have you come across or can share your experience with using the oura ring?
Is it worth investing one or just a very expensive gadget?

I can’t personally comment as I don’t have one. However many of my colleagues and bio-hacking friends do, and they all seem to really enjoy it, especially for tracking the quality of the sleep.
did you end up getting one?
do you happen to have one? I know you’re in the biohacking group so thought you might have one… -
Thank you B

Hey ,
It also depends on what you like to learn from the Oura ring. For example, the Oura ring measures HRV which I think is an important measure that can help you learn if you experience stress. The HRV measurement is accurate when you are not moving too much, but becomes unreliable when you’re moving a lot.
For tracking sleep it can estimate well if you are in deep sleep. It is less accurate (compared to an EEG measurement) in estimating if you are in REM and light sleep. If sleep is something you like to track, it is pretty good, but not the best.
One important detail: when you choose an Oura ring, make sure the size is right. If your ring is too big, the readings become inaccurate.

Hi Daniel,
Regarding sleep. My sleep is very much broken or light sleeper. Random thoughtsnightmares will skew the results then.
With regards to movement. I don’t tend to much.
I may leave it.

Hey ,
Am I correct to assume sleep is the most important thing for you?
If it is, the Oura ring can provide you with the insight when your sleep is improving. It also is pretty accurate in recognizing deep sleep vs being awake.
It can also help you with what habbits (for example what behaviours in your evening) will influence the quality of your sleep. You will need to log these behaviours of course.
It’s just not really accurate in recognizing rem sleep/light sleep. This problem exists with most sleep trackers. I think the Oura ring is pretty good, but only in recognizing REM sleep it isn’t the best.

It is still on my wish list, hopefully soon
if you want to make sure of a good quality sleep, as B said, go for it

Thank you Bahreh.

Hi Daniel,
Sleep is becoming an issue. I have deep sleep for two hours and then the rest of the time very light. Oh yes, good point about the size. Not sure, how that is going to work around as no shop presence.

hello , no I’m not using one for myself as yet.

what about the Bluetooth connected to us?! Is it less than smart watch or even smart phones?
