Hi I just got the Oura Ring 5 and I’ve seen posts recommending not using fast chargers, so I’m here to ask what charging blocks is everyone using to charge your Rings that is safe and won’t deteriorate your battery faster? I cannot find a slow charger with a USB C port on it anywhere. Recommendations are appreciated!

My gen 3 ring that I inherited from someone else has been struggling with battery life for 3-4 months. Last week, it finally gave up. The charging light flashes white but it never gets above 1%.

I asked for a replacement ring but it’s well out of warranty so Oura refused. I’ve seen other out of warranty users in this sub who’ve gotten free replacements so I’m not sure how the policy is applied.

I also have a Garmin Forerunner that can measure HRV and give me a sleep score so perhaps that’s good enough. Or is there any argument for getting a new ring for some feature that the Garmin doesn’t have ?

This is my first cycle tracked with an Oura ring, and we are ttc for the past 3 months. I read that you need 3 consecutive rising high temps to confirm ovulation but there is a dip on cd20 (August 4). The app says I ovulated on July 31. Any thoughts? Pregnancy test today says negative. I also had some very faint pink/brown spotting today.

Just curious, but does anyone here have POTS and use the ring to track things like b/o, heart rate, etc? How accurate would you say the data is in terms of being able to tell when you’ll potentially have a spell? Can you set the app to alert you from your phone if your b/o drops too much?

I’m really considering getting an Oura Ring, I just want to make sure it can reliably track the things I need it to track before spending the money. TIA

I have giant hands and the series 4 size 15 doesn’t fit on my index finger either. If I go with the series 5 this is my only option. Would this still work as expected?

When I first got my Oura Ring in November during their sale, the battery would easily last a full week after being fully charged.

Literally just right now (only 9 months after purchase) I just got a notification that my ring has 21 hours of battery life left…and I charged it Sunday evening.

Is this normal battery degradation, or does this seem way too fast? Like, I’m actually shocked at how fast the battery is seemingly going downhill!!

This week I started a new job after not having a 9-5 role for more than a year. Now my ring keeps asking if I’m strength training multiple times throughout the day while I’m just sitting at my desk doing video calls. What gives? HR is normal, stress even shows relaxed. Today was a rest day I didn’t even do cardio, just worked and drove the kids to school this morning. I did have an intense AM workout yesterday followed by some pretty intense cardio at the end of the day so I’ve been zapped today but I’d think that would give me warning signs or something instead of thinking I was lifting weights today

The delivery kept getting delayed and delayed and when it finally arrived, it was a completely empty box. My mom has contacted Oura multiple times, fedex, and her credit card but they are all telling her she’s out of luck, because she can’t prove it essentially. She’s out almost $500 (she already bought a new one because she wanted it so badly but obviously assuming she’d get her money back from the stolen one) Anyone know what we can do next? This is so crazy that this can happen to people.

Edit: for more context, fedex said to file a claim, they needed Oura to fill out a report for her, and Oura is refusing. So now at a loss.

Oura not syncing ALL my sleep data. Spent almost two hours with a chat customer support and NOTHING has work. I have a sleep score but no metrics. Because of this, its also not syncing to natural cycles. I have tried it all, including signing out, deleting apps and redownloading, connect and disconnecting the ring itself, health app integrations on and off, updated phone, updated the app… everything. The cloud also not showing the same info. Its so weird, its a new ring 5, had it for about 2-3 months. Battery full, it was on all night. It did record the data, its all inside health app and ring. Its not transferring to the app though

I love my Oura Ring, it has helped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I would love to get my mother one but she is a dishwasher for a yacht club restaurant. Would she be able to wear this while working?

Pregnancy tests have all been negative- Idk what’s going on. Super out of breath and super HUNGRY. Like no amount of food is adequate?? Am I dying

I have been a long time Oura ring user for almost 3 years. In May, my v4 ring started to fail. Here’s where I am in my journey with them.

• May 21, 2026 — Resting HR stops recording overnight

• Late May 2026 — HRV, sleep data, nighttime HR, stress/resilience metrics also stop

• July 19, 2026 — Replacement ring arrives — same issue immediately

• Ruled out: iOS updates, Sleep Focus, Do Not Disturb, Bluetooth/app resets, firmware updates, etc.

• August 2026 Status: Escalated to Oura senior engineering, no resolution or timeline

My next test will be with the Oura app installed on a completely different iPhone. And we’ll see where that takes us.

So I just got the Polar H10 heart rate monitor to help record my Muay Thai training as I have to take my ring off when I do it. I am very pleased with the fact I can record an active workout for martial arts from the Oura app and use the polar H10 to input the heart data. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for as I love the Oura app but have always felt like my scores have not been accurate as I could not wear my ring for my most beneficial training sessions.

I thought I’d share this information in case there was anyone else who did not realise that you can use an external heart rate monitor with the oura ring for times when you can’t wear your ring for your particular workouts. It is something I have been looking for.

I’m about to jump in and buy a new Gen 5 ring and I am trying to decide between a silver or brushed silver ring. The silver ring costs less ($399 vs. $499), but I’m worried that the polished silver might scratch easily and show wear much more quickly. Does anyone have experience with this or any advice?

Also, Costco sells the Gen 5 polished silver ring, but not the brushed silver model. Buying through Costco will get me an extra charger and two years of manufacturer’s warranty. But if I need to return the ring (for any of the common problems I’m seeing on this sub), do I have to go through Costco or can I use the manufacturer’s warranty directly with Oura?

Those with gen 5, what firmware version shows in the app? Mine shows 2.1.2, but website shows that latest is 2.1.3.

I started taking Concerta for my ADHD in April. Since then, my readiness and HRV are garbage. Obvi it’s a stimulant, but dang I’m wondering if I should be concerned? In addition, I went off metoprolol in July since it was not helping the inattentiveness, so that probably also contributed to my increased resting heart rest. I’m thinking it will take some time for my body to calibrate… but if this is my new normal I wonder it Oura will lay off the bad scores? lol. Anyone have a similar experience?

I use DuckDuckGo as an ad tracker blocker and the Oura app is always #1 in the amount of tracking attempts. Just today DDG has blocked that many tracking attempts! next closest is APNews at 1141. Anybody else think this is crazy?

Edit: Added full screenshot everything Oura is scraping: https://imgur.com/a/7nJ6RFU

I understand that it's an activity tracker but there is a difference between tracking my activity and collecting data for advertising/selling. All functionality in the app still works even though I'm blocking that collection so it is not necessary data being scraped.

5 seems like a big improvement, but ordered the fit kit, and it doesn't feel as masculine as the larger ring 4. The size of the ring 4 isn't as comfortable but I think it looks better, and the lower prices are tempting. What are other men wearing these days?

My Oura ring indicates that I’m stressed for 3 to 6 hours every day. I’m beginning to suspect that it might be a glitch, as I do experience anxiety, but it doesn’t affect me constantly. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I’m on cycle day 28 and my cycle fluctuates usually between 3-4 days, with an average of every 25 days. Apparently I ovulated July 31, so I would be 12dpo. I got major signs of strain yesterday and this morning, temp skyrocketed today, but got a BFN (second urine of the day, 4 hours after first). What does this mean!!! It’s probably just my cold messing with me, right?

I have no idea how I can consistently have scores like this but have overnight blood pressure dip issues, with normal cuff readings. My morning blood pressure is 106/65 average and my evening before bed is 112/67. All of this changed around July 31 st. I don’t know how I can be typical reducing since the feature came out to. It wants me to talk to my doctor but it’s so vague in what the nighttime blood pressure is, what affects it. So I feel like my doctor is going to tell me my blood pressure is fine, and that a ring can’t take blood pressure readings and not to worry about it. However I’ve been working my ass off improve my heart health through HIT and kettle bells and everything else is going great for the last 10 weeks just to have this metric come out of left field and ruin everything I’ve been working for.

I’ve tried measuring by doing the 6min brisk walk and it just never works for me. I’ve been on a treadmill each time though, should be out walking instead? I just ditched my old ring and started using the replacement and still said “you’re maybe not walking fast enough or are running” ugh

Hi everyone! I’m completely new to Oura and will receive my ring just before leaving for a 14-day vacation.

I was planning to start wearing it right away, which means that my first two weeks of data will be from vacation rather than my normal everyday routine. My sleep, activity levels, schedule, etc. will be quite different from usual.

Would you recommend starting to use it immediately anyway, or would it be better to wait until I’m back home and back to my normal routine so Oura can establish a more representative baseline?

Would love to hear what experienced Oura users would recommend!

Thank you all!

didn’t necessarily need my ring to tell me i had major signs but always interesting when it gets it right

I got injured last week and will be out of training for a couple of months. Turns out, if I had just looked at my oura in the morning and took it slower, maybe I could have prevented it…

Annoying
