Staying in a consistent workout routine can be tough. Between busy work days, running errands, getting together with friends and spending time with family, it can seem like there's not enough time in the day. If you can relate, take a cue from actress Jennifer Aniston and invest in an Oura Ring.
The Oura Ring is a smart ring you wear both day and night that tracks over 30 biometrics — think your sleep, your activity, your stress levels, your heart health and so much more. You can easily view your results via the Oura app on your smartphone (which, full disclosure, does have a monthly fee of $6 after your first month).
Aniston listed the Oura Ring 4 as one of her favorite things and told The Strategist: "When did I get this (the bane of my existence) damn ring? I think I got it in 2021. It tracks my sleep, and I've gotten to the point where I don't look at my sleep from the night before until the middle of the day, because I just feel like shit the minute I wake up. Because it's like, 'And you've failed upon arising, you've already sucked today!' And then it's like, 'Don't feel bad, we can work on this!' But with my workouts, it's great because it tracks them, and that just encourages you to keep going."
To get the most out of it, you should wear the ring 24/7, but that doesn't mean you have to charge it all the time. The Oura Ring 4 has up to eight days of battery life, so you'll only need to juice it up about once a week.
If you don't know your ring size, Oura also makes finding your perfect fit easy — you can buy a sizing kit so you can try on the various sizes (from size 4 to 15) and choose which finger you want to wear it on. Plus, Amazon will give you $10 in credit towards your Oura Ring 4 purchase when you buy the sizing kit. Also worth noting — the Oura Ring is FSA and HSA eligible!
And Jennifer Aniston isn't the only fan of this smart ring. Nearly 800 Amazon reviewers have given it a glowing five-star rating.
One pleased user shared: "I've had an Oura ring since they launched. I always upgrade to the latest when they launch. Now, I've been a size 8 in all of my rings, til this one. Glad I did the sizing ring first (which goes towards your purchase of the ring anyways) and I'm a size 9 in this one. Setup was a breeze and it actually seemed more comfortable to wear and more sensitive in its readings. Worth every penny."
"It took me forever to finally move this from my wishlist to my cart. Not sure why because this has been a great purchase. It is helping me learn and start to create better sleep habits. It has allowed me to see how often I'm getting stressed and helped me pinpoint the triggers of those moments. It's still a work in progress and I'm still working on getting the most of out of the ring, but so far it's been a great purchase," raved another shopper.
A third fan wrote, "I absolutely love this health tracker. I've always worn a Polar watch after switching from Fitbit, and I highly value the health data this provides versus fitness data. It is spot on about when I need to rest and whether or not I am getting sick. Learning my sleep type was pretty cool. Battery life is great and I love how easy it is to sync. It also has built-in mediations based on your data."
While most shoppers gushed about the thorough data the ring provides and how easy it fits into their lifestyles, a few did have feedback on the style and fit.
One reviewer explained: "This ring gives lots of great health tracking info and syncs easily with my Apple Watch and health app. I got the brushed silver and it looks great and wears well (no scratches). Took off a star because it is a bit thick to wear all the time. I only wear it to track my sleep at night, and rely on my Apple Watch during the day."
Another Oura user cautioned others to "pick a ring finish carefully" and added, "I purchased the gold style and wear it on my left index finger. I normally take it off before undergoing any high-wear conditions and have been disappointed to see scuffs and scratches only after a short period of time and without much wear and tear (I have been babying it). While I have been told by others that it is not noticeable, I can notice it, and it was not what I was expecting..."
