If you’re wondering how to find your Oura Ring, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out:

How to find your Oura Ring

Make sure your Oura app is allowed to access your location. If you are an iOS user, head over to the Settings app and scroll down until you see Privacy & Security. Tap on it and right off at the top you will Location Services. Tap on it and turn the toggle on.

On the upper-right-hand corner of the home tab, tap the battery icon. Then tap Show latest location.

Take note that the current location shown on the app may not be the current location of your ring. It only shows the latest location when the ring is connected to the app.

What if no location appears?

There are a few reasons your smart ring’s location may not show up on the app. It could be that your phone is low on battery; the Find My Ring feature will not work in such a case.

Another reason could be that location services is not enabled for your Oura app. The Find My Ring feature will only record the last known location of your smart ring when it was connected to your ring.

If your smart ring has been dead for a long time, it might be difficult to find it.

Your last resort

If the aforementioned method does not work, the last thing you can do is use a third-party app that searches for Bluetooth signals. One such app dedicated to smart rings is Find My Ring. You may also try Find My Lost Bluetooth Device for iOS and Wunderfind for Android to find any Bluetooth-enabled devices.

The post What if I lost my Oura Ring? Here’s what you should do! first appeared on Smart Ring News.

The Oura Ring is the world’s top-selling smart ring that tracks your sleep, fitness, heart rate, body temperature, period, blood oxygen, and recovery, among other things. For such a tiny device and what it does, you can’t help but love the ring. Even celebrities and athletes wear it.

But of course, there are some who could not wrap their head around the hype around the Oura Ring. For $299, it’s a pretty costly ring device. You might contend that you get all its features from a smartwatch for around the same amount.

Your point is valid—Oura Ring is an expensive wearable. But the real gem is what is hidden underneath—the sensors and how these data are processed and presented to users.

5 Main Reasons Why People Like Oura Ring

In over 7 years of covering Oura and the smart ring market, I’ve come across various people using Oura and what they love and hate about the smart ring. But to answer your question, let me give you some of the most common reasons, including my personal experience using the device for more than 5 years.

1. Oura Ring helps you understand how your body works.

The Oura Ring can your vital signs accurately. With its constellation of sensors, the smart ring conveniently keeps tabs on your sleep, including the stages, what time you fall asleep and wake up, and your breathing rate). Based on these and a bunch of other metrics like heart rate variability and body temperature, Oura knows how your body works and gives you recommendations based off those data.

ALSO READ: WHY IS A SMART RING BETTER THAN A SMARTWATCH?

2. Oura Ring helps you get better at your sleep habits.

Before using the Oura Ring, I had the worst sleep habits. Upon using the smart ring, it became clear to me that a lot of my problems—acne, anxiety, and even eating habits—stemmed from not having enough sleep. Along the way, Oura taught me the ins and outs of sleep as well as gave me some practical recommendations based on your nightly rests, including when to drink caffeine, when to eat your last meal of the day, and some meditation practices to get a good night’s sleep.

3. Oura Ring helps you understand your stressors.

Related to what I said, Oura knows some stressors you might not even notice, including your caffeine intake, the time you take meals, the room temperature you sleep in, and if you got too much workout, among other things. Through the app, Oura gives suggestions on how you are doing and what you can do to prevent this.

4. Oura Ring helps you optimize your recovery.

I used to work out 5 times a week without breaks, even if I know my body has not fully recovered yet. But when I started using Oura, it kind of validated what I’m feeling—if my body temperature during sleep is high or my breathing rate during sleep is high, I’m probably not well-recovered to take on another workout day. This is what Oura will tell you. Ultimately, the goal of Oura’s readiness metric is to show you the state of your recovery.

5. Oura Ring is more accurate and less intrusive.

And of course, the edge of smart rings over smartwatches when it comes to health tracking is its accuracy and less intrusiveness. Rings can track data straight from the blood vessels on the fingers, that’s why pulse oximeters are used on the fingers and not the wrist. In addition, it’s more comfortable when sleeping without having a strap around your wrist.

Finnish health tech company Oura has been around since 2015, but it was only until the COVID-19 pandemic that it got really popular. Big thanks to its ability to monitor common signs of the disease, such as an elevated body temperature and low-score readiness.

Despite the arrival of new health-tracking smart rings, Oura has cemented itself on top, with its cult following that includes Hollywood celebrities, athletes, business magnates, and tech founders. Oura will soon release the fourth-generation smart ring, but we still have high hopes for the third-generation device to serve you well.

The Oura Ring is the most advanced health-tracking smart ring on the market, enabling users to monitor their sleep, activities, and heart rate, among other things. If you’re wondering whether or not you can take your Oura Ring to the shower, the short answer is yes—Oura Ring can be used in the shower.

The smart ring is water-resistant up to 100 meters or about 330 feet, so you can get wet with it with no hiccups at all. You cannot only shower with it, but you can also swim and use it in recreational diving such as snorkeling, and even playing water sports like jetskiing, paddleboarding, or angling.

Oura Ring can also be used in temperatures from -10 to 52 degrees Celsius or 14 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit. This means if you want to go into the hot tub, sauna, or ice bath, you can do so without worries. Even in cryotherapy tanks, Oura Ring can withstand it.

Do note that prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (below 0 degrees or 32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit may cause damage to the smart ring’s battery.

Oura advises against using the smart ring when scuba diving as the ring has not been tested to withstand strong water pressure. If you are wondering whether or not you can use Oura Ring when freediving, I used mine but nothing deeper than 20 meters. In addition, Oura also does not recommend leaving the smart ring submerged for over 12 hours as water could erode the inner moldings.

How is Oura Ring able to withstand these conditions? Oura is made from titanium and finished with a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating for gold, silver, rose gold, and brushed titanium variants) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) for black and stealth colors. Titanium is known to be a durable material that is commonly used in aircraft and spacecraft. The inner shell is shock-resistant.

The post Can I Shower With My Oura Ring? Yes, But There’s a Caveat. first appeared on Smart Ring News.

Oura is the leading health-tracking smart ring on the market. Based in Oulo, Finland, Oura has dominated the segment since 2015 for its game-changing functionalities, allowing users to keep tabs on their sleep, activities, heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, recovery, and even periods. During the pandemic, Oura’s popularity skyrocketed after users were reportedly able to detect early signs of COVID-19, resulting in more celebrities and athletes using it.

Before the pandemic, many health smart rings came out but most of them stopped releasing mainly due to lack of demand. The Motiv Ring was an example. The popularity of smartwatches also did not help as people preferred the wrist-based wearable for health monitoring. Of course, smart rings have advantages over smartwatches. However, people just didn’t get how a smart ring can help them.

Fast forward to 2024, Oura now has several worthy contenders. And in the coming months and years, with the announcement of the Amazfit Helio Ring and Samsung Galaxy Ring, we can expect bigger tech companies will be jumping into the smart ring market soon.

Oura’s Top Competitors

There are now more than a dozen health rings on the market. Here are some serious Oura competitors:

1. Ultrahuman Ring Air

With roots in India, this smart ring works pretty much like Oura. The Ultrahuman Ring Air monitors sleep, activities, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, body temperature, periods, and recovery. But one thing that makes it unique is its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) feature which no other smart ring (or even health wearable) can do.

GET ULTRAHUMAN RING AIR

2. Ringconn

With roots in China, Ringconn has been drawing more attention since it came out for its free-for-life approach to health monitoring, unlike Oura which requires you to subscribe to a premium membership to get more detailed insights and access your health data for life.

GET RINGCONN

3. Circular Ring

Dubbed as the slimmest smart ring, the Circular Ring has everything the Oura Ring has. One thing that stood out is its alarm system and timer functionalities that the former does not have. It also has an airplane mode to keep you focused.

GET CIRCULAR RING

4. Movano Evie Ring

Designed for women, the Evie Ring is the perfect health smart ring for women planning or trying to avoid pregnancy. Its award-winning open design flexes according to the user’s changes in their finger size due to temperature and the time of day. So it’s more comfortable.

GET EVIE RING

Oura’s Upcoming Competitors

More Oura competitors will be available soon. Here are some smart rings we already will be out in the next few months:

Amazfit Helio Ring

From the maker of health smartwatches, the Amazfit Helio Ring was announced as every athlete’s health companion for tracking sleep, activities, and recovery. Based on the sound of it, the smart ring is pretty much Oura, except it puts heavy emphasis on an athlete’s performance. The Amazfit Helio Ring will be available in March 2024.

Samsung Galaxy Ring

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a health-monitoring smart ring just like the Oura Ring. Based on its initial introduction, the smart ring will zero in on people with sleep apnea and sleep-related problems in general. Although confirmed, no further details have been revealed at this point. The Samsung Galaxy Ring’s release date has not been announced yet.

The Oura Ring is one of the best smart rings on the market. It tracks sleep, heart rate, activities, and blood oxygen and gives you an idea of your overall recovery. Oura Ring does it all. But can you bring it near or into the water?

The direct answer is yes! Oura Ring is water-resistant up to 100 meters or about 328 feet, which means you can swim with it. Since it’s water-resistant, you can also shower with it and do recreational diving like snorkeling and freediving. You can also wear your ring in the hot tubs, sauna, ice baths, and cryotherapy tanks without worries.

Oura Ring IP Rating

But what does this water resistance mean? Has it been proven to work underwater? Yes, Oura Ring has been tested and is certified to Ingress Protection (IP) standards. It has an IPX8 rating, which means the ring can be used up to 100 meters. But it doesn’t mean you should wear it 100 meters down the sea as it might not be able to withstand the pressure.

Oura Ring Operating Temperature

The Oura Ring operating temperature ranges from -10–52°C or 14–125°F. So again, if you’re worried about jumping into the hot tub, sauna, ice bath, and cryotherapy tank, don’t be! A caveat though—you cannot stay for too long with your ring below 0°C or 32°F or above 35°C or 95°F) as extreme temperatures might damage the battery.

Oura Ring Limitations

If I can bring my Oura Ring to the water, is there something it cannot do? Of course! Oura does not recommend wearing the smart ring when scuba diving. The water pressure underwater has not been tested for Oura and it might not be able to withstand if you wish to bring it. In addition, keeping the smart ring submerged underwater for over 12 hours is discouraged.

Still wondering if your ring finger is more powerful than your thumb? If you’ve been using the Oura Ring and you’re not exactly sure where to wear your finger best, that’s understandable as many others have not figured this out yet. But which finger is best for Oura Ring?

The straightforward answer to this question is—where your Oura Ring wherever you are comfortable. However, not all of our fingers are built the same. The optimal finger to wear your Oura Ring is your index finger. Why is this so?

Our fingers, particularly the index finger, are very powerful for taking vital signs that’s why you see medical practitioners use pulse oximeters on the finger instead of the wrist. It’s because our fingers have blood vessels that are closely readable by pulse oximeters, giving you a more accurate read on your vital signs, such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels. For the same reason, our fingers deliver more accurate data than our wrists.

ALSO READ: BEST OURA ALTERNATIVES YOU CAN BUY

Nevertheless, don’t obsess over where to wear your smart ring. At the end of the day, it’s all about comfort, so use whichever is convenient for you. If you’re not comfortable wearing your Oura Ring on your index finger, your next best option is your middle finger and then your ring finger. Using your Oura Ring on your thumb can also be awkward when handling things.

If you’re still planning to get the Oura Ring, make sure to get Oura’s ring sizing kit first before deciding. I know you might get a little too excited to get your hands (or your finger) on this powerful smart ring, but you should be 100% sure about the size of your ring, that’s why it’s best to test sizes first. Oura Ring delivers the ring sizing kit for free, so get it!
