What is an Oura ring?

An Oura ring is a wearable, smart ring, that tracks your sleep, heart rate and skin temperature. This fitness tracker analyzes your daily movement, how much rest you’re getting, and more. All the information is displayed through a corresponding phone app.

The Oura is both fashionable and can improve your personal wellbeing. It evaluates your:
Sleep: deep sleep, REM sleep, nightly heart rate and more.
Activity: “how are you balancing your activity, inactivity, and rest?” Analyzes your daily movement.
Readiness: “how much can you and your body take on?” It takes into account your sleep, activity, and body stress signals like body temperature and heart rate variability (HRV).

You need to wear it all the time to collect data but it is versatile and looks great with casual or dressy outfits. Some confess to wearing it as a status symbol!

Is there a downside? Many wearables gather your personal information tracked on the devices.
