I got the Oura ring 5 maybe like 3 or 4 weeks ago now and I just wanted to give you some insight of the things that people probably don't mention as much about the Oura ring. As someone who had an Apple Watch for over 10 years and I've had the Oura ring for like a couple years, but then I convinced myself out of it because I was like, oh, it's just so chunky, like you can tell it's in your face. So I didn't want to spend the money, but then when I saw they made this smaller version, I was like, I'm gonna get it. But I will say it still is like kind of chunky, but just not as noticeable. So I'm not someone who wears a lot of chunky rings, like my rings are quite dainty. So it did take a while for me to adjust to this. Firstly, if you are worried about spending the money to get it scratched. I've had this for just over three weeks, I think. I don't know if you can see it, but it's already like scratched up. It doesn't bother me because I'm like, if I'm gonna spend the money on it, I'm gonna wear it and wear and tear. But I do wear it to like the gym, I wear it when I'm cooking, I wear it when I'm doing the dishes. So it will like come loose. But then also like the first night that I slept with it, it was so tight it woke me up in the middle of the night because my finger was going numb. So I sleep with it on this finger just because it's a bit looser. But that's something that I didn't know was a thing. But I looked it up on Reddit and people said that they swap fingers when they sleep. So that's something to also be aware of when you're looking at sizing. In terms of the data, I can't really say too much on that because it's still sort of like working out. My rhythms, all that kind of stuff. But I will say it's been really cool to see the changes in core temperature which has coincided with my ovulation and my cycle starting. So that's been really cool. Sleep, like it is picking up when I'm going to sleep when I'm waking up, all that kind of stuff. If I've woken up in the middle of the night, all that jazz. Cardiovascular heart kind of stuff as well. It is in line with the data that I got from my Everly Lab testing at the end of last year. So that wasn't surprising to me. I think everything else is still kind of figuring itself out. So I can't really comment too much on that side of things. It does do a good job of auto picking up when I'm working out. So, you know, when you're training between this time and you're walking between this time, it does a good job of picking that up. But I will say, I don't know why anyone isn't talking about this, like actually lifts at the gym. I can't lift heavy weights with this. Like a deadlift, barbell row, dumbbell row, walking lunges with the dumbbell, um, pull-ups, dead hangs, I can't lift heavy things with it. I have to take it off because it's just like the pressure on it. Um, I can't lift heavy things with it. That's probably one of the things that, um, no one really spoke about. I think that's it for now. I do like it. I do like it. That's it. Bye.
