I have tracked fitness matrix over the years and used their proper part of the best fitness trackers from Apple watches, fitbits and now OURA ring.
I went into suspicion when I first got the ring six months ago because I did not know what expected. But I can say with complete certainty that this is the best purchase made by me.
Smartwatch, of course, is their place and some are great for people. For example, germin is suitable for vivoactive 6 intensive training, while Apple Watch Series is ideal for wearing 10 everyday. But what about distracted and comfort?
I often think so, although they are smart (duh), smartwatch is trying to do too much. But with the OURA ring, there is an element of cool. It knows what it is, what is for it, and it does well with impressive accuracy.
Mines the distressing
I am sure that most people will agree with me here when I say that a pet is happening in a conversation with someone and they cannot see away from their phone. They pick it up after every notification, or scroll with what you are saying …. only to lift your head and “Sorry, what was that?”
Perhaps I am being eccentric, but it’s one thing that happens under my skin. But now it is not a distracted phone – this is a smartwatch.
Now I can be in conversation with someone, and their staring is fixed for their wrist because their finger is swipe and type on screen. Somehow it seems less rude than sitting with an electronic brick in your hands, but it is still annoying.
Okay, so rent over. But do we really need a screen for our wrist? My answer is not.
24 -hour wear ability
This is where my love comes in the OURA ring. As far as fitness trackers go, it is very prudent. I have OURA Ring 3 in the heritage design, and I think it goes well with the rest of the jewels that I wear on a daily basis.
I choose to wear a ring on my index finger, and it is never found in the way I am doing. There is only one time when I am cooking.
It is equipped to deal with every situation, and as a waterproof, I can wear it in the shower, in the pool (to track swimming sessions) or while washing dishes. It is so comfortable that I do not even know that I am wearing it now.
I think even if, yes, I wear it 24/7 (with a 40 -minute break to charge once a week), I am not on a screen.
I write about technology for a living, so of course, I like to know all new advances, but I cannot stand when the technique is not occupied. I have a firm belief that Tech should increase your experience and be distracted. It is exactly that the OURA rings.
Temperature sensation and recovery
I used to push myself very hard. Between working, working and other life accessories, I will not give enough time to relax and recover. While I knew this was the case, I did not realize how bad it was until I started using the OURA ring.
OURA forces you to prioritize recovery. This is how you can get your score to be the best. But how does the ring find out when you run down?
It takes your temperature at bedtime using the sensor. This is how cycle tracking can be so accurate. But it also tells me that I need to withdraw a step because I am going to get sick.
When I found the flu, before setting any symptoms, the ring was a reminder to tell me that there were signs of stress on my body and to take it easier. This meant that I could shake it far more than normal and avoid any unnecessary stress.
I like simplicity
Okay, then an elephant in the room. Yes, a smart clock can do more. This music can store, can be used for payment, obtain texts and calls – the list moves forward.
But my argument is why we need it when we have our phones? I understand that on workouts, it is easy to tap to start and stop your wrist, but daily, I like very much what OURA can offer.
And this gift is silent and zero distraction.
