My honest Oura Ring review
I purchased the Oura Ring last year and have now been using it for nearly 10 months. I wanted to give my honest review and some pro and cons of what I think of it.
The main reason I purchased the ring was so that I could link it with Natural Cycles. I didn't trust myself to remember to take my temperature every morning, so I brought the ring as this does it for you.
Pros
I was worried it was going to be really chunky, but actually it isn’t. You get used to it and it goes with every outfit/Occassion.
The battery life lasts ages (I only charge it once a week).
It’s waterproof to a certain extent. I don’t take it off to shower, but I do take it off for the sauna and baths.
The biggest pro for me is that you can link it to Natural Cycles. It has been very accurate for me and I don’t have to take my temperature in the morning, the ring does it for me and links it straight up to Natural Cycles. This is super helpful for the girls out there that don’t think they will remember to take their temperature every morning!
Cons
It was expensive to buy. You also have to pay a monthly subscription.
The underside gets worn/scratched. It would be good if you could get it recovered at some point.
You need to take it off to lift things like weights in the gym to protect it. You can get covers to protect it though if you want to keep it on.
Overall
I have LOVED using the Oura ring the past few months and would highly recommend it. I have enjoyed being able to see my readiness and sleep anayaltics, and have found this to be really insightful. It has been completely worth it and I would purchase it again!
