Intro: I’ve tested two Oura Ring 3’s over the last months, and based on my testing I think that the Oura Ring CAN be a great tool for people looking to track and improve their health. However, it has some limitations you need to be aware of. In this video I’ll test the accuracy of the Oura Ring 3 when it comes to heart rate, heart rate variability and sleep tracking. Additionally, we’ll discuss how I think you could use the Oura Ring to track your health.
For those of you that are new to the channel, my name is Rob, and I am a postdoctoral scientist specializing in biological data analysis. Now, if we go back in time a few months, the release of the Oura Ring 3 was definitely not a flawless one. The main two issues, in my opinion, were that many people really dislike the new subscription model, and second is the fact that many of the things that were supposed to be improved in Oura Ring 3 compared to the Oura Ring 2, were not yet implemented. This basically meant that the Oura Ring 3 was just an Oura Ring 2 with daytime heart rate tracking, but now you have to pay a monthly fee of 6 dollars. Now, of course I’m oversimplifying things a bit, but still, to date, many of the features that Oura promised are not yet implemented.

Conclusions:
The Oura Ring 3 can measure your heart rate and heart rate variability pretty accurately when you are sleeping. As I’ve shown before, the Oura Ring provides a readiness score that correlates with other real-world measurements I performed on myself like my blood pressure, and it provides actionable advice on your day, for instance how active you should be. It for example also uses your heart rate patterns to try and explain why your sleep might have been suboptimal, and for me, it was able to detect when I had a meal right before bed and how this caused certain heart rate patterns. I therefore believe people can use these kinds of metrics to try and optimize their activities and sleep.
I still think that the current version of the Oura Ring 3 is not significantly better than the Oura Ring 2 for this purpose. If the new algorithms turn out to be suboptimal, it is not really worth that extra 6 dollars per month for me. Personally, I feel they should have waited charging people 6 bucks per month until those features were available. Currently, I would be perfectly happy with just an Oura Ring 2 instead of the Oura Ring 3, since I don’t think it is a major improvement yet. As I have shown in a past video, the Oura Ring 2 was quite good at detecting some of my viral infections, and this could have even improved in the new Oura Ring 3, since it has additional sensors. Overall, I think the Oura Ring 3 can be a helpful tool, however, not much has changed yet compared to the Oura Ring 2, and we’ll have to wait if Oura lives up to its promises.
