![]() If you have more slender hands, I’m sure you might have a similar issue with folks pointing it out. I’m a big-ish guy with big-ish hands, but it feels a bit too ostentatious on my fingers, enough that people notice and ask me what it is as soon as they spot it. Unfortunately, the one thing you can’t do much about is the size of the ring itself which is a bit too big. Oura says that the index finger is the best place for its ring, but you can stick it elsewhere if you prefer. This actually was the most stressful part of this review, since I felt that one size was too loose, the other too tight, but I opted for looseness rather than sacrificing a digit to the gods of fitness tracking. Once you’ve determined the correct fit, which is tight and secure around the base of your index finger, but not to the point where it’s uncomfortable, you can order the real thing. The sizing process is the same for pretty much every smart ring I’ve ever tried: The company sends you a set of plastic dummy rings you have to wear for a couple of days. The headline features these new sensors enable include continuous heart-rate tracking, temperature monitoring, blood oxygenation and period prediction. And there’s much more tech crammed in this time around, despite the size and weight remaining the same as the second-generation version. For all of its imperfections, it’s amazing to see Oura push the limits of what is capable in such a small form factor. Taking the sensors from a smartwatch or fitness tracker and shrinking them into a ring is worthy of enormous praise. ![]() Before we get into the specifics of this new Oura ring, let’s take a moment to remember that this device is still a marvel of engineering.
