thanks for the review!! as a mechanical watch fan, I did give oura ring a thought and it is good to know more

Good video - im fine with more videos about the smart ring as this is something I have been considering.

Thanks for covering the no-membership features of oura (basically none), seems this info is well guarded!!... ultrahuman for me !!

Hay, thanks for that STRIGHT FORWARD, honesty. I was undecided.kinda makes me think what to buy.....thanks once again. A new follower. You do more on these items, please......thanks.

Good honest review 👍🏽

great video, - thank you !!

Thanks - Im not really interested in getting the ring but this is an excellent review. I'll stick with my Garmin instead of paying monthly for my own data.

That was excellent! I've been wondering if I should wait for Samsung or just get the Aura. Your explanation was quick moving You didn't drag it out, and you gave all the necessary information. It was very helpful, thank you!

Although I like watches more, I find your review interesting, and I agree with your perspective: I might be interested in a ring, but def wouldn’t pay a monthly subscription for it. But I hope they would improve the design of the superhuman ring: it looks a little too thick and « plastic-like » for me.

Thank you for sharing now I've decided which one Buy.👍

I am looking at buying one of these things currently and the symptom/lab thing Oura is doing is very intriguing, although only for iOS users currently for some reason. Any thoughts on this area of the offering/functionality?

Good review ! Yes the extra cost Is not attractive

I stumbled upon your video because I want to wear a wearable that is not a watch / wrist band. I like my classic analog watch and I am not going to wear another watch on my other wrist 😂 Thanks for the helpful information. A ring is indeed another good choice. Uktahuman looks good, but maybe waiting for Samsung or Apple to enter the market is a good idea.

Hi do you have any information on Apple coming out with a ring later this year? Thanks for the video 👍🏾

I don’t! I’ve only heard of the Samsung Galaxy Ring, but maybe Apple will do one!

They say 'titanium ring', I hear 'degloving' It's even worse. Any trauma that leads to inflammation, and good luck removing the ring from your finger. What a wonderful idea to do sport while wearing one

Amazed I only found this video now: my wife recently upgraded her Fitbit to a newer model, and I inherited her old one (which, happily, came with a one-year Premium membership when I re-registered it in my name). Like you, I double-wrist it with one of my watches daily, and that's gotten old PDQ. The Oura didn't quite appeal, and the Ultrahuman is close-but-no-cigar. *But* , my hopes are currently hanging on Samsung's Ring, partly on account of having a Samsung phone, and also because of the possibility of NFC capability being part of the package. (Imagine: using OMNY on the subway of bus in Gotham gets that much easier than whipping a phone out.) Time will tell. Thanks for this!

Nice that one ring is chosen over the other, but what im missing is the accuracy of the measurements with science (compared to specially made medical devices) to see how they really perform.

Tidbit about the Oura ring, it only takes your temperature while you are sleeping not throughout the day, so a shower would not effect the reading. Also It gives you an above or below reading of the temperature, not the actual degree. I am unsure about the ultrahuman. I got the oura ring for fertility tracking and specifically the temperature reading.

I double wrist it and have a oura ring because it tracks some things better then my Apple Watch and I hate sleeping with my Apple Watch.

Have original Oura Ring no charge use with app. Will not purchase new one that charges me to use it period. Will use my orginal Oura ring until it dies. They will look around to see what I can get at that time that does not charge me anything more after the purchase of the ring.

My Oura ring is essentially dead. Won’t hold a charge and the company won’t or can’t do anything. So that’s a $300 plus mistake for something that is now sitting collecting dust. Never again

I hate the idea of paying for my own data. I started with Oura before they started with the subscription. When my ring died I chose not to continue w/Oura. Thanks for your review. I now feel more confident of replacing my Oura with Ultrahuman.

Clever idea but just too big and chunky. If you manage to reduce it significantly then it might have a future.

Don’t wear it while lifting weights! You’ll scratch up the ring or worse you’ll adjust your grip to accommodate the ring which will be dangerous

I'll wait for the Amazfit Helio.

I would like to know if anyone changed his behavior to optimize and felt better. I assume tracking does not change anything but creates big data. Still my inner nerd wants one😅

Does the ultra human app require Wi-Fi or cell service? Like will it work in the middle of a large isolated forest with no service with nothing but a Bluetooth connection between the ring and your phone?

For sleep and the basic tracking it shouldn’t require wifi, I’ve worn it on plane rides and tracked my sleep fine. There might be additional features that use WiFi but from my knowledge the basic ones (sleep, steps) don’t

I'm lucky that I took an Oura ring right from the beginning when it wasn't very good. As such, I managed to be one of the niche users that get a lifetime free membership, therefore no fees to be paid.

Samsung Galaxy Ring is announced. Should be interesting

So you pay up to $549 for that ring, but without the subscription, which might increase in price. the ring is pretty much useless? Why would anyone do that? The can charge $9.99 next year and $12.99 the year after that and there is nothing you can do about it. How does the app know that you have paid? Do you need an account?

One thing that is very strange on Ultrahuman is the Movement Index. Its Just Walking and Walking and Walking..... It seems that Workouts dont interest this Score much. I dont have the Time to Stretch 1 Minute and go for 5 Minutes every Hour. I do 1 or 2 Workouts a Day and then the Score is Bad in the Evening and you Feeling Bad because of the Low Score. You Feeling as you have done nothing, but you did 1 or 2 Workouts. I think Oura did this Better.
