Thanks for sharing! I've tried my sister's Apple watch as well as my uncle's Garmin to mainly track my running metrics but I ended up hating how it looked and feeling surveyed... I am curious how I would feel about the Oura ring, but probably mostly the same except for not having to carry around a huge black clunk on my arm.

If you’re going to get it for running purposes, I think you’re better off with an Apple Watch or another tracker. I find the activity portion to be a bit wonky. Sleep on the other hand is another story!

Why am I still wanting it though??

Welp, glad to not have to buy that. I had a Whoop for a year, possibly the ugliest tracker you could get, and those stats also often didn't fit my own judgement of how I felt. Ditched it and behaving exactly as before, but now with ~elegant~ wrists

Couldn’t agree more - what a lose lose if the device is ugly and unhelpful

I got an Oura 2 weeks ago and have not known how to feel about it. You summed it up well. Though I didn’t want to know that blip about the workforce… ew
