If you already own an Oura Ring 3, then I’d say that while the Ring 4 is nicer, more comfortable and more useful, it’s not so compelling to make you ditch an existing unit in good working order.. Once it’s on your finger, it should very quickly fade into the background of your day, and it’s plenty easy to forget. Naturally, you’ll do all of your interacting with the ring via its mobile app, which is one of the best available for a smart ring.
We’ll get into the economics of this down in the Price section, but Oura paywalls a number of key features behind its Membership program. If you don’t cough up, you won’t get 24/7 heart-rate tracking, temperature monitoring, menstrual cycle insights, SpO2 and VO2 Max analysis. All of these features are essential if you’re looking to get even the basic use out of your Ring 4.
I’ve already griped about the issues with automatic activity detection, even if it gets the bulk of its calls correct. I am often vexed, however, that it’ll often have a delay between you starting an activity and it beginning to track it. For instance, one of my regular lunchtime walks is to a local landmark 0.8 miles away from my home and back again.
