We've worn it day and night without issue and for exercises like running, and quickly got used to the sensors that sit on the underside of the ring. It will suit some people, and others (and let's be honest, a lot of women) will find it too bulky. But for our money, we found it comfortable to wear the majority of the time. There's no getting away from the fact that Oura is chunky, and it is noticeable – so you have to be OK with that. Oura says it can now offer 32 times the capacity available on the second generation Oura Ring, and says it's now able to dynamically change data sampling rate as it monitors, depending on what it's primarily focused on measuring. Placing those sensors on the finger get them into a position where they're nice and close to the arteries to generate accurate readings via that optical sensor setup. Those sensors included are the optical kind as Oura adds red and infrared-based sensors to existing green ones to deliver insights on heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate and has now brought blood oxygen into the mix too via the addition of those red LEDS. With the new sensors on board, Oura now recommends you wear the ring on your index finger to get the most reliable information from those sensors. We changed our minds a couple of times before deciding on a size. It still requires a sizing kit like previous Ouras, to get the optimal fit and it's definitely worth at least spending 24 hours the plastic ring on, including during sleep, to make sure you've got something that's going to work for 24/7 wear. We did both and they do live up to that waterproof billing. As a package, it's waterproof up to 100 metres, letting you wear it in the shower and keep it on for a swim too. Oura now opts for just the one design, which comes in silver, black, stealth (like black) and gold, all made from lightweight titanium with a PVD coating. While the inner is fully circular, the outer has a flatter edge to help you understand how you wear the ring and ensure that the sensors packed into it are resting against the inside of your finger. The Oura 3 is a smart ring that promises to look and feel like wearing a normal ring offering a similar weight, look and feel. Here's our in-depth review of the Oura Generation 3. We've been wearing the new Oura, establishing our 2-week baseline and then using it for a month tracking our sleep, activity time and vitals to find out how if it's worth the money. You'll still pay the same $299 as the Oura Ring Generation 2, but in addition to that, you'll now need to pay for a $6.99 monthly subscription to get access to all of that data and personalised recommendations, which does make it a wearable that requires a sizeable financial investment.
