Want to track your health metrics like sleep and fitness—without the price tag of an Oura Ring? Read this review of the Ultrahuman Ring.
our friends boast about never-better sleep. Your whole social feed flaunts functional jewelry. Your dad is suddenly into breathwork . These days, it seems like everyone’s on the wearable-fitness-tech train—and everywhere you look, there’s an easy-to-spot, ever-trending Oura Ring on a pointer finger. If you fall in the camp of someone who’s resisted jumping aboard because of the price tag, well, same. But you can give personal health tracking a try without an Oura-level investment.
A quick thing about me: I spend a lot of time, energy—and yes, money—prioritizing wellness on a daily basis. I love a good sweat and a farmer’s market run, and I can begrudgingly admit that meditation actuallyshift my energy. All that makes me a pretty strong candidate for smart health technology—and yet, despite its ubiquity, I’ve never been able to take the plunge.
I’m especially excited about the new breathwork mode, which includes a library of breathing protocols, ranging from three to 25 minutes long. They're designed to help enhance your body’s parasympathetic activity and reduce its sympathetic response, which can help lower your stress levels and improve your cardiovascular health. I’m also committing to using the sleep index feature in my relentless pursuit of more restful zzz’s .
Unlike many other wearable-tech products, you don't need a monthly subscription to use the Ultrahuman Ring.
