I am excited to share with you my latest systematic test of the Oura Ring 3. As many of you know, I think the Oura Ring has been one of the best health trackers for a while now, and I even showed in a recent video how it helped me track my COVID-19 infection. However, one area where the Oura Ring has fallen short is sleep stage tracking. But, Oura has recently introduced a new beta sleep stage algorithm that they claim will be a significant improvement. In this video, we will be taking a first quick look at this new algorithm and see if it lives up to the hype. Additionally, I will also be re-testing the workout heart rate feature that was introduced with the Oura Ring 3. In my original test I had some issues with this feature, and today I wanted to see if they made any improvements. I hope you are as excited as me to see how these new features stack up.
Now, as you might know, after the release of the Oura Ring 3, Oura introduced a workout heart rate feature, which allows the Oura Ring to track your heart rate during 5 types of exercises. For now they only allow heart rate tracking during indoor and outdoor running, indoor and outdoor cycling and walking. So, to test this workout heart rate tracking feature I will compare the measurements of the Oura Ring 3 to an ECG chest strap from Polar called the H10. Now, the Polar H10 has been used in quite some scientific studies, and it was actually shown to be more reliable for heart rate tracking during medium intensity exercises than a professional scientific Holter ECG monitor. Next, for the sleep stage tracking I compared the sleep staging tracked by the Oura Ring 3 to an EEG device called the Dreem 2 that can actually measure my brainwaves, and has been shown to be relatively reliable at sleep stage tracking. It is not the gold standard in sleep stage tracking, but it should give us a good first impression of how the Oura Ring performs, and also how it compares to more than 40 other devices I tested over the last years.

    I have personally purchased Polar H10 chest strap thanks to him as well. I use it while exercising on my Samsung Health. Unfortunately, Samsung Health as an app is underdeveloped for its accuracy. For example, swimming is based solely on the time spent swimming with zero regard to pool length, lap completed, or even heart rate (to measure intensity). But that's an app problem, not the device. I'd say I wish Quantified Scientist would also start reviewing major health apps to see if they properly use metrics they already have.

    Hi Rob, thanks for a new video. I'm currently also looking at oura 3 new sleep staging algo an for me it seems to do a little better than before, consistent with your results. I have few questions about your QS project related to exercising and i hope you will answer them in some way. Since you are doing a lot of cycling/running exercise, i wonder what did you extract and track from this data. I see a big field there for track internal/external variables and see how body respond to training and make data-driven daily decisions (like do training today or not, and if do - what intensity etc). For now i'm recording HR / HRV for each exercise and some exercise specific data: stryd power and speed for running, garmin rally cadence/speed/power data for cycling, sets*reps*weight for strength training. From these data some indexes may be calculated, like mechanical job in kJ as a measure of external load and some HR derived indexes like TRIMP to measure internal load. Also some rates (like power to hr) can be used to assess current cardiorespiratory fitness and monitor it over time. HRV derived from standardized cycle ramp (like +20W every 3 mins) may be used to estimate VT1 / VT2 and monitor them over time. 3-5 time-to-exaustion trials (TTE) may be used to build Critical Power (CP) model to decribe which power can be sustained for log period of time and how much of anaerobic capacity one have over that power. There are also other models and tools (like SmO2, LT fingerpricking, monitoring cardiac drift at VT1 etc) for monitoring / modelling physical state based on training data. Also i'm intrested in what main devices you using to track these metrics. They might include watches, power meters, chest straps etc. It would be cool if you make a specific video about which devices are best to monitor and track exercise in QS style :) I think, right now a lot of people interested on how to exercise and data-driven decisions from accurate device/app framework might provide useful utility for daily decisions. Thanks again for you work :)

    Hi Max! Thanks for your detailed question and for all the information you provide :-). Honestly, I think you probably have more information on this specific subject than I do. For my indoor cycling workouts I usually do the same program, cycling at a little over 270 Watt or ~30 mins. One rough estimate I've found to be indicative of my cycling performance is how many short breaks I feel I need to take during the workout, but this is of course very specific to my situation. However, what you are asking for is something more general, quantitative and systematic, and I must admit I do not have an answer for you there. I mostly monitor my trends over time of RHR and HRV during the night to assess wether my fitness is increasing (though this is also far from perfect). I wish I had a better answer, but I am not familiar enough with the literature to make any more statements. Have a great day!

    Rob, another well done, comprehensive test. Thanks! The Dreem 2, no longer sold to the public, in-depth test is over two and a half years old. Has its firmware been updated? At that time it was 83.9% accurate while the matrix varied by 9.73% to 47.1% vs that pro EEG. At best acceptable, those values have been overall benchmarked against sleep algorithms across the cost spectrum, including this yet another Oura test, for a BETA. Given that there is more to sleep than light, deep and REM, it's apparent that even the Apple and FitBit devices are SLEEP curiosities. Fitness bands/watches have great value as do your tests of heart rates, SpO2, etc. IMHO, we can do without another Oura test until a final v4 is released. Your talent is needed on other devices! BTW, you should HOST A FORUM. Some can be monetized. It's tedious to ferret out here the attempts at discussions scattered in the fog of all the deserved kudos.

    I guess the lesser improvement to the sleep accuracy results, shouldn't come as a big surprise, as heartrate measurements play the biggest part in the accuracy of sleepstages detection. So, my guess would be they can't improve this further before they change the heartrate sensors to more accurate ones. Btw Rob... if you read this, you probably need to use you thumb for most accurate readings and index finger as second best. This is my experience using oxygen sensors with heartrate trackers! 😉

    I use the Oura 3 for sleep tracking and readiness score. I use chest strap and a Garmin watch for HR. The Oura is unusable for exercise HR. But it's quite good for HRV tracking during the day and night. For sleep tracking, the new algorithm has been a lot better subjectively, and it also seems to get better over time. I continue to hate the subscription model. But when my first ring 3 died, I got a replacement in record time, no questions asked.

    I have the Apple Watch series 8 and have been using it religiously since getting it for Christmas over 6 months ago. I’ve always known about the oura rings however and that they are meant to be really good for sleep tracking. I was wondering how much better is the oura ring compared to the Apple Watch and if it’s so significant that it would warrant me to actually use both? I’m on the verge of buying the oura 3 but I can’t seem to find anything directly comparing the accuracy of this oura ring and the Apple Watch and it’s sleep tracking

    Oh my god. Let me just begin by saying I subscribed and liked before the video was even two seconds in after I saw the preview of all the graphs you had. Seriously. The set of KZreadrs who do data analysis to this extent let alone at all, especially the subset of those who are product reviewers, I thought was actually n = 0. But now I know n >= 1. Next, I know this is an old video, but I had some questions and a possible request if you happen to read this! I was wondering if you could either provide your raw data somewhere (if you are too busy), or run a quick analysis for me. Let me preface with a rationale: I feel like a lot of these devices advertising the optimal wake up aka “smart alarm” feature by waking you up when you are in light sleep, and as such, I feel like minimal time difference error for change in sleep stage between EEG vs. device is almost more important than raw percentages, since the basis of being woken up is ensuring you’re actually not in deep sleep anymore, and necessarily not the overall percentage accuracy. (Though it’s undoubtedly important too, and you can infer a lot from it.) From my estimation here it looks like around a quarter of one grid length or about 30/4 = 7.5 mins, which isn’t that bad, but it’s hard to evaluate from this scale. But if that’s the difference between deep sleep and light sleep, and it’s 8 plus minus however many minutes too early, I wonder by how much that would cause a less efficient awakening since you’d still be in deep sleep. The other variable I was interested in was minimum number of “hallucinations” (defined as an incorrect change in reported sleep stage), since this would protect against what I fear as well, as opposed to just raw %. It’s interesting that your EEG data showed only one deep sleep instance on the second sample, so I’m now even questioning EEG’s accuracy here. Also I’m assuming “light sleep” is lumped stage 1 and 2, correct? I wonder if it’s just not set to detect stage 3 properly (either poor physical electrode attachment or software settings maybe(?)). I feel like ascertaining these two variables would would be pretty easy from your data programmatically, and if it’s not too much to ask, I’d especially like to see a similar correlational graph like the one you showed for all the different devices but with these two variables if you’re game for either sharing the data or running it. I feel like we can further get some valuable insights from this. Please let me know either way, and thank you again!

    I've had multiple Oura Rings fail from battery issues. Both for second and third gen. Only the first gen ring has shown any level of quality and lifespan. I just had a replacement under warranty but am now outside of warranty and waiting for this one to die too. I really would strongly suggest avoiding Oura. Very cool device and I have enjoyed every generation of it that has been released but if this most recent replacement dies on me I am done with them. The quality control issues are just too much and they are getting more dodgy about replacements under warranty.

    I would say even if you have and EEG device with all data presented in simple format, its not an easy task to derive any actionable daily decisions based on these data. Most of healthy sleep interventions works without any sleep stages feedback (go to bed at same time each day, sleep in quiet and cold environment, have a sunlight early morning, and avoid caffeine intake after midday, avoid eating and exercise 2-3 hours prior bed). Another issue is a feedback loop, if someone have a low deep sleep at night he may consider to avoid exercising this day, because of maybe not recovered enough. But low deep sleep may because of low activity on a previous day and better decision is to exercise at this day, to stimulate body to produce more deep sleep. So it's not that simple as it seems :)

    @@DigiDriftZone HRV is useful, but oura averaged nightly values seems to be not too sensitive for daily stressors. In my case i see significant nightly HRV changes pretty rare, mostly when i get sick. Even hard training most of time doesnt affect my HRV. Another case is a morning standing HRV which is pretty sensitive to daily changes. REM dropping overtime doesnt meanigful without context. Dropping every year for a bit? Thats aging. Have low base values? That's another issue. Dropping for 2 days and then comeback to normal values (1.5h+) - nothing to do here, its fine? Anyway oura cant detect REM sleep with enough accuracy and can't give actionable advices on something it cant measure. Ring trying to predict REM sleep based on HR/HRV/accelerometer data and some modelling (circadian rhythm etc), its not really measuring REM, because REM described as combination of EEG and EMG signals, something that ring doesnt measure. So i dont see how oura can give advices here, even nightly HRV advices doesnt seems to be useful without context.
