About
Oura Ring 4 is still the reference point for sleep and recovery tracking, with a redesigned sensor array that improves signal quality across more finger shapes and a fully titanium inner surface. Sleep staging, HRV, temperature trends and readiness scores are the best validated in the category, and the app explains them well. The catch is the mandatory monthly subscription, which rivals like Ultrahuman and Samsung have dropped.
Pros
- +Best-in-class sleep insights
- +Improved sensor design
- +Polished app
Cons
- −Monthly membership required
