Community sentiment
What the internet actually says
Oura Ring
“Best sleep tracker I've ever owned. Cycle tracking accuracy is legit. My only complaint is the new membership model.”
“The Gen 4 sensor is genuinely better than Gen 3. Wrist devices can't compete with the finger for pulse quality.”
“The membership tax feels like a bait-and-switch. Gen 3 was optional. Gen 4 forces you.”
