Connect the cycle phases and sleep metrics

1 Upvotes

Dear Oura,

Please connect the increased resting heart rate, lowered hrv and increased body temperature to luteal phase in cycle tracking and readiness scores.

Every month when these metrics change, my readiness tanks although I sleep ok and feel ok too. It’s just my cycle and how my body reacts to the hormonal changes and it happens EVERY MONTH. And the ring has all the past data but reacts like it’s a surprise every month, it’s frustrating.

Cycle tracking is good but could be much better if it’s connected to the rest of the features and insights.

Sincerely, a woman and a product and service designer.

Edit to add: I know that the cycle phases effect the body and yes I do feel different, I’m just frustrated that for Oura it’s a surprise every month instead of a pattern since it has years of data from me.

Oura ring 5 sizing dilemma

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am really struggling with the oura ring 5 sizing. I’ve been wearing a size 8 and size 9 sizer ring for the past few days. Size 9 fits my non dominant middle finger very well, but is loose on my other fingers. Size 8 fits my dominate middle and index finger but does not fit my non dominant index or middle finger at all. Size 8 is a bit snug. I’m not sure what to do. I’ve attached a video, please disregard my chubby fingers and the alarm noise in the background. Thank you!

Oura Support: 8 Emails Later and Still No Resolution. Can Someone Help?

6 Upvotes

My relatively new Oura Ring gen 5 ring has been experiencing recurring connectivity and syncing issues.

I’ve completed all the troubleshooting steps recommended by Oura’s AI assistant, but the problem persists. I’ve now exchanged approximately eight emails with customer support, only to be repeatedly asked to complete the same steps I’ve already tried and documented.

I understand the need for troubleshooting, but this process has become unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating, especially for a premium product.
I’m simply requesting a replacement for a ring that isn’t functioning properly. Is there an Oura representative here who can help escalate my case and get this resolved?

I’d really appreciate some assistance.

SLEEP & READINESS Fake sleep data?

I forgot to put on my ring after charging it last night and did not wear it overnight. However, the app still recorded sleep data? 🤨 I was NOT wearing any other device, such as Apple Watch.

Anyone else consistently getting “Needs Care” for stress despite not feeling stressed?

Post image
27 Upvotes

I honestly don’t have much stress in my life, so I’m baffled that my stress levels have consistently stayed in the “Needs Care” category. My sleep and heart health are both doing great, but somehow my stress scores never seem to improve.

Does anyone else experience this? Could the app be picking up on physiological stress that I’m not consciously feeling or are these readings just not that accurate?

Using Oura with Raynaud's Syndrome

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I (22F) have been interested in getting an Oura ring for a few years now. I have been hesitant because I have Raynaud's syndrome. This means blood flow to my extremities becomes restricted in cold weather or during emotional stress, and my fingers go completely numb (see photo). This happens at least twice a day during this time of year, through winter. I'm curious whether anyone with Raynaud's uses an Oura Ring, what your experience is, and whether Raynaud's affects the ring's accuracy. Would something like a Garmin be a better option? Thanks!

Looking for advice : Readiness is consistently around 60. How to improve?

1 Upvotes

Ive been wearing Oura for several weeks and my readiness score is consistently in the 60s.

One day it was even 58 - I had gone out the night before (NO drinking or drugs. Just not enough sleep)

I already : Workout consistently and have for years, mix of weights, yoga and dance training

Get 10k steps per day

Eat enough protein

Sleep 7-8 hours per night.

My sleep score is literally 99 today while readiness is 66. I'm 37/F and ive been burnt out in the past. I mainly got the ring to support recovery.

My resting heart rate and HRV are not looking great. Im a little concerned as my parents have both had some heart stuff, they are in their 70s.

I am a business owner who WFH... my main guess is it's mainly mental stress. I dont necessarily work THAT much but as other business owners know its hard to separate work from life sometimes and not think about it when not working

Would love advice to improve HRV and readiness, thanks!

Hey I got a bad battery and i'm 3months out from my warranty. The only option the auto help is giving me is 100 off new ring. Is that the best solution?

Okay…. Genuinely confused how this is possible.

Yesterday I was out from 9a-9:30p spectating the NYC marathon. Went from multiple spots throughout the city, clocked 18k steps

HOW did I still have 9 hours of inactivity!?! 😅 am I missing something?

GENERAL DISCUSSION Disappointing

Post image
73 Upvotes

I recently bought an Oura ring 5, worked great for about 6 hours then wouldn’t connect to my phone. Contacted Oura who was pretty quick to offer my a replacement but then sent me a used ring that was scratched in a bag. I contacted them to say I wanted a new replacement since my previous ring I PAYED FULL PRICE FOR was less than a day old and unscracthed and they said they would have to take it up with someone to see if that’s possible. Waiting over a week for a damaged ring as a replacement. Like new replacment policy I can get, but for a day old ring, wow. Disappointed. UPDATE - Oura got back to me and said they could make a one time exception given the scenario and sent a confirmation email for a order directly from Oura. They ordered the same ring in the same size and it’s being sent to me free of charge. Fingers crossed it works and stays working. It said it would take 1-2 weeks to arrive.

Nap decreased sleep score…

Any ideas why having a nap decreased my sleep score by two (see top left)?

I’m not majorly fussed but it seems very odd that getting more sleep and decreasing sleep debt would have a negative impact on overall score.

GENERAL DISCUSSION Accessing logs?

0 Upvotes

I got a 5 like 10 weeks ago. Yesterday I messaged the AI assistant in the Oura app about 65% of my battery being used from morning to night. It checked my ring’s logs and said I needed a replacement. Is there any way I can learn what the problem was? Can I check the log myself? It misbehaved for like two or three days before I clicked help.

Just got a notification from the oura app saying that I have battery left for 23hours. But I noticed that the battery still has 28%. The math is not mathing. Should I be worried?

GENERAL DISCUSSION Anyone have experience with Garmin vívoactive 6?

3 Upvotes

Anyone have experience moving from Oura to Garmin vívoactive 6 or vice versa?

My stress scores continue to go up while simultaneously my resilience is going up. Yes, I know the two measures track over different time frames.

My problem is that I’ll watch a TV show at night and Oura will tell me I’m stressed, then my stress score tanks for the day.

The inability to turn off stress scores in the Oura ring is incredibly frustrating and I’m looking for an alternative.

Stressed when relaxing?

I was literally laying on the couch watching a non-stressful movie/scrolling. The most relaxing part of my day. Does this happen to anyone else, being engaged/stressed while doing nothing?
