Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

The other day, I was complaining that I could only drink brewed coffee at home… and now it’s my third day drinking it at home because I’m on sick leave. Haha careful what you wish for!

Also, I’ve decided I want a smart ring to track my sleep and activity. It’s recommended choosing the right size with a size kit, which I received yesterday. After testing the samples, I realized I feel most comfortable wearing it on my thumb rather than the recommended index finger.

Overall, it does the same as a smartwatch or fitness band, but I’m especially interested in sleep tracking. I don’t like wearing a wristband to bed, so the ring seemed like a more comfortable alternative.

Does anyone already have one or something similar? What are your thoughts?

Thanks! That’s exactly the review I was looking for. I wanted to know who has actually bought it and wears it regularly, so it’s not just hype. Time to place my order and wait for the delivery 👀

I have one. I also worked at Oura. I wore the ring before and after. I love it and think it's the perfect form factor. It has been getting progressively better over time, which I especially appreciate. It's not honestly great for exercise, especially if you lift and don't want to deglove your finger (or thumb).

i have an oura ring and i find the data invaluable. it also trains you to choose better habits by calling you out for things like eating before bed, and showing you how it affects your body

Wow, thanks! Maybe it’s even better than I expected. I actually chose Oura though version 3. Hope it helps me find what will make my sleep better!

Oh, I hope you’ll be able to get it! It's always frustrating to have delivery issues. I once ordered something online and didn’t notice it would be subject to an import tax ~20% of purchase price. That was an unpleasant surprise.

I also plan to buy it, as soon as I decide to break through with delivery. They don't deliver to the country where I am and there are crazy import taxes.
They also have a free sizing kit

 Sometimes people ask me if there's anything I can't do


Yes, same here! That’s why I got the starter kit to see if I can actually wear the ring

I just hate having anything on my body that's not clothes. So I hardly ever put on jewellery, I don't have a watch, so for me any type of "wear it all day long" is a "no" 😁 
But I'm glad that there are alternatives who don't like to wear bands but are ok with rings!

Actually, they are quite expensive 😅. Mine will cost around 300 euros - more than a fitness band but cheaper than a smartwatch. That’s why I’m still unsure about buying it, so I ordered the size kit first to make sure I can actually wear it. The size kit costs 10 euros, but I think that amount can be deducted from the final cost of the ring.

I tend to fidget a lot, and at first, I tried the recommended size for my index finger. Half a day was enough to realize I kept spinning it, trying to take it off, and even nibbling on it a little 😅. Then I switched to a different size on my thumb, and it felt much less noticeable.  

I used to have a 20-euro fitness band with the same functions, but the silicone strap really bothered me. I kept taking it on and off multiple times a day 🫠

I always thought these rings are very expensive 😅 And also didn't know they could send you a size kit beforehand!

I didn't know it‘s possible to pay with them 😁 not sure if mine has that feature, but I want it now!

I thought smart rings were for payments only
Didn't know they were also a fitness tracking thing
Gotta buy one too!

So did I! Two weeks ago I complained that I wanted to track my sleep but don’t like wearing a watch, and someone told me there’s a ring for that

It's hard to say. They say yes, but I think they're all quite similar. What matters most is consistently tracking the data over time using the same device. For me, wearing a ring is just easier than any wristband

I’m tracking my night sleep with my watches, does this ring show more accurate indicators?

Yes I have now I'm ok thanks God 🙏🏻
