Missing features: A few days after my ring arrived, Oura sent an email stating that the workout heart rate feature wasn’t up to par, so it would stop recording heart rate during workouts until early 2022. Overall results were right on par with Fitbit. A score of 95 is “optimal,” meaning I went to bed at a typical hour for me, didn’t spend much time awake, and got more deep sleep than the average person, which is 15% to 20%, according to Oura. This score is calculated by measuring total sleep time, sleep efficiency (total time in bed), restfulness, REM sleep, deep sleep, and timing. It includes the previous day’s activity score, so typing or crocheting would throw it completely off. The problem: With the step and activity trackers being out of sync, it’s likely this score is also not accurate. If you’re up for it, how about doing some fun activity today to recharge both your body and mind.” A score of 80 is explained as, “Your overall readiness is good. This score is calculated based on previous day activities, heart rate, body temperature, and sleep. But this is something I could easily erase from my recorded workouts on the Fitbit. It thought I was using an elliptical when I was, in fact, crocheting. The Fitbit also inaccurately recorded my workouts.The Oura regularly recorded twice as many steps as the Fitbit (and about 5x as many when I typed or crocheted).How does it stack up against Fitbit Versa 3? Miscalculations here affect both the Activity and Readiness scores (more on that below). The ring clocked me at ~5,000 steps while drafting this article at my desk.
The problem: If crocheting and typing were workout activities, I’d never have to lace up my running shoes again. This is calculated based on a user’s number of active minutes, movement per hour, meeting daily goals, level of training, and recovery time. Our take:While Oura brings something new, smaller, and less intrusive to the table-it may come at a compromise to performance.
