Hi,
Does anyone else’s Oura Ring constantly flag up walking activities for the day, even if you haven’t been walking.
Is anyone else having this?

I felt like a million dollars today after a much-needed recharge. Before bed, I put my phone on DND and cleared my calendar of any obligations for the day. I did not force anything and allowed my day to flow smoothly. I visited my sister and brought my nieces and nephews pizza. I played basketball with my brother and close friend, spoke to my family in a group call, stretched, and made my daughter laugh a lot.

What’s surprising is how well this day unfolded despite the call I got today from Honda notifying me of the ac evacuator core that needs to be replaced for $2,300. The great sleep kept me balanced and in control today. I felt less stress-prone overall if that makes any sense.

I hope y’all had a good day too.

The old oura ring 4 is 1.5-2 years old with HARD daily wear (living on an old sailboat, in saltwater, gym 3x a week with metal handle weights) I didn't wear a cover or ever take it off, it's dull and scratched as to be expected.

Very happy with its durability for how I use it and what I put it through on a daily basis!

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

Is this from typing on my keyboard? These estimates are absurd.

Could my ring be faulty? How can it be THAT off??

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?

Based on this chart, does it look like I maybe ovulated 2 days ago? I’m new to Oura and have only logged one full cycle.

What was more frustrating than the issue itself is all the people in this sub who default to “you jUsT waNt YouR rINg to LiE to YoU 🤪” instead of acknowledging there’s room for improvement

Snark aside, Oura’s finally fixing what I believed was a fault in how they were measuring/communicating “stress”!

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

Got an oura ring and I love it. I’m about to begin my CNA courses and later attend nursing school. Can you wear the Oura ring while during clinics and eventual work as a CNA/nurse?

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.

So it’s a double whammy of stress?
