Giving up on smart rings
3 days ago
- User liked Oura Ring for sleep/steps tracking and Symptom Radar accuracy.
- Finger size changes due to weight loss and temperature, making ring unfit; had to size down from 13 to 11.
- Ring must be removed for weightlifting to avoid scratches, defeating its workout tracking purpose.
- Ring gets in the way during hand washing and daily tasks; trapped moisture and scratches are issues.
- Both original and replacement rings stopped working (Bluetooth connected but no tracking).
- Oura offered refund for second ring; user decided to switch to Google Fitbit Air fitness band.
- User now uses Google Health API instead of Oura API, though Sleep Score and readiness score are missing.
