Is the oura ring worth it?

Is the Oura Ring worth the hype or just another fancy piece of jewelry pretending to improve sleep? Share your experiences, pros, and cons - I want pure honesty!

Had it since 2018. My sleep has MASSIVELY improved since then.

I go to bed muuuch earlier, improved total sleep by 2hrs, basically stopped drinking alcohol to dinner, eased stress regarding drinking late coffee (has no tangible effect on sleep for me).

With added stress measurement i’ve actually realised my worksituation was a toxic hell hole and i decided to switch jobs. Markedly improved health.

2020 my ring died and i immediately bought a new one.

I think it’s worth it if you can get a discount. But I hate that you need to pay a monthly subscription so that being said make sure your initial purchase of it is as cheap as possible (ie marketplace, eBay, poshmark). But I’ve learned a ton about my habits and improved some things already. It’s definitely worth it for the cycle tracking and insights with natural cycles (another subscription but at least insurance will reimburse )
