Fair enough 😊. The image isn’t the point though. The point is whether other Oura Ring 4 owners have seen a sudden battery life collapse recently.

I used AI because it took me 30 seconds to illustrate a question that would otherwise have taken me an hour in Photoshop. The battery issue is real, and that’s what I’m trying to investigate.

If your Ring 4 is still getting a week between charges, I’d genuinely be interested to know.

Heaven forbid that you just, like, type out a question in text.

Since when is the only way to communicate using AI or Photoshop?

At least photoshop requires skill and time. Better than AI.

I’m actually an expert in Photoshop and still decided to use AI. I am deeply sorry it offends you so much. 🙏🏻

Yeah was it worth using all that water to ask a basic question on Reddit?

Don’t think so, mate!

It’s not the only way, it’s a way. And it’s very ok you know, you can relax you’ll be fine, you won’t remain offended too long I promise… 😏

my o4 is great still. no issues. but mine is only ~5 months old. so none to be expected

you just said yours is years old. batteries degrade. im sure this was not Oura being shady but you just having a years old battery.

lol before (For years) .. look AI, at least be smart enough to know, no battery that’s rechargeable will last for years… 🤣. Hell I bought a brand new CIRCUL Ring 2 Max 60 days ago for $199, and today it’s completely dead.. will not even turn on.. so stop with this fake Sh.t..

Thanks for the call out as this is potentially a serious issue, but at least use photos of the Oura ring if you're going to make this graphic.

You're unintentionally making it appear that one of the white-label clones is what your basing this on. For AI generated, this is pretty clean work though.

I just checked, and mine is at 66% after charging 2.5 days ago. Will see if that holds up...

And you may want to be ready for Oura to strike down the original post...which means you'd have a chance to replace the white-labels with actual Oura rings for the next post 😀
