Oura Gen3 Heritage Smart Ring - Size 9, Silver | Sleep, Heart Rate and Fitness Tracking Wearable - Up to 7 Day Battery Life - iOS/Android Compatible - Size First with Oura Sizing Kit

I cannot express how much I love my Oura Ring – it has genuinely transformed the way I understand my body, my health, and my daily rhythm. After months of considering various wearable wellness trackers, I finally chose the Oura Ring, and I am so glad I did. It’s elegant, discreet, incredibly intelligent, and unlike anything else on the market.From the moment I received it, the packaging and unboxing experience felt premium – the attention to detail, the minimalism, and the quality of the materials made it feel more like receiving a luxury piece of jewellery than a health tracker. I opted for the Heritage design in silver, and it’s truly beautiful – sleek, modern, and subtle enough to wear with anything, from gym gear to formalwear.But the real magic lies in what it does.The Oura Ring goes far beyond basic step counting and calorie burn. It offers a holistic, science-driven picture of your health, and its insights are deeply personalised. It tracks sleep with incredible accuracy – not just how long you sleep, but your sleep stages, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, temperature trends, and respiratory rate. As someone who used to underestimate the importance of deep and REM sleep, this has been eye-opening. The sleep score helps me identify what’s helping or hindering my rest, from late-night screens to alcohol, and I now prioritise my wind-down routine because I can see the difference.Its readiness score is a game-changer. Rather than pushing you to work out every day, it guides you to tune into what your body actually needs. On days when my ring senses that my recovery is low or that I’m fighting something off, it suggests rest and gentle movement. On high readiness days, I feel confident in pushing myself further in workouts or productivity. It’s like having a silent coach on your finger who always knows how you’re doing – even when you don’t.One of the things I love most is the menstrual insights. I’ve never felt so in tune with my cycle – it predicts my period accurately and shows how my temperature and sleep shift across phases. This kind of cycle syncing helps me align workouts, productivity, and self-care to my natural hormonal rhythm. It’s empowering and refreshing to have that level of visibility without invasive apps or guesswork.Battery life is another standout feature. Unlike many wearables that need daily charging, I only need to charge the Oura Ring every 4–5 days, and the little charging dock is neat and travel-friendly.The app is intuitive, beautifully designed, and packed with information without being overwhelming. I check it every morning – not out of obsession, but because it genuinely helps me shape my day better. Whether I need to stretch more, rest more, hydrate, or move with intention, I have the data and insights to support those choices.Lastly, I appreciate that the Oura Ring is designed with privacy and longevity in mind. The company is transparent about data and constantly updating the app with useful features, like guided meditations, breathwork, and sleep audio tools. It feels like they genuinely care about their users’ long-term wellbeing.If you’re serious about understanding your body, improving your sleep, and making intentional choices around wellness and performance – all without wearing a bulky device – the Oura Ring is absolutely worth the investment. I can’t imagine life without it now.Highly, highly recommend.

Before we get into it, this is HEALTH tracker, not a fitness tracker. Yes it can track workouts but if you intend to use it for this, it should be restricted to cardio workouts, or any workouts that don’t involve gripping things with your hands. If functionality with regards to tracking strength based workouts is your thing, you may best be suited by a wrist based wearable.Looks wise, this is a beautiful example of engineering. Oura have always made beautiful pieces of technology. I purchased the brushed titanium horizon model and it’s absolutely stunning from a wearable point of view.I daily this as my main wearable along with an Apple Watch Ultra for tracking gym workouts (I wear ‘dumb’ watches on a daily when not working out) but personally I find the functionality and the simplicity of the ring is just second to none. If you are looking for a wearable that provides accurate data (backed by studies), doesn’t constantly distract you with notifications or reminders, and just blends in to your daily routine, then I think this wearable is for you.Value for money wise, it would be easy to say that this isn’t the best value proposition out there. Other wearables provide the same form factor and, perhaps more importantly, doesn’t come at the cost of a monthly subscription to access the granular data offered by the Oura ring and app. (Although personally I think the £69.99 total cost for the yearly membership option isn’t too bad when you consider whoop is more than double the cost).Personally for me the value for money for the Oura ring, with the granular data it offers, the quality of the ring itself, along with a simply beautifully designed app to complement the ring itself, is there and that’s why I’ve given this five stars. I’ve found it to be as accurate, if not more accurate when it comes to sleep tracking compared to my Apple Watch and it is far, far better at detecting naps or cardio activity compared to the Apple Watch. The only issue I would say in this department is that calorie burn and steps seem to be a weak point for the ring (but any wearable that tracks either of these metrics are wildly inaccurate for the most part)

Was torn between what make of ring to get. Glad I picked Oura. Very VERY accurate statistics and combined with the app, it's incredibly useful.As someone who has full arm tattoos, smartwatches can be unreliable in vitals reading but this is brilliant

A complete rip off. Providing bizarre and misleading readings throughout the week I wore it.I do also think these devices are potentially not doing us any favours by further fostering this outsourcing of an innate instinct we all have to read our bodies and make interoceptive decisions. It takes time and patience to cultivate or more accurately recultivate this instint (we have it as babies) but I'd rather go down that path than rely so much on some piece of tech. They can be useful sure, but I'd need to be convinced they're highly accurate before investing money and faith in them.

I'm loving my smart ring, although it's a little bigger (thicker) than I thought but it is light. BUT advice is take your time on your sizing of same. I had no patience, I wore 1 size for a day and night but it turned out I should have gone down a size. I just couldn't wait to order it, so yes try a couple of sizes for a few days.My data is building up nicely to get an overall view.Battery lasts almost a week. I got the silver one and it has a lovely shine.
