The Oura Ring stands out in the world of wearable devices thanks to its great Battery life and fast charging compared to most competitors. Fully charged the model 4 of the ring lasts around seven to eight days before needing a new charge. Models of the third generation reach almost seven days with one single charge.
Naturally, the real duration of the Battery depends on the size of the ring, how one uses the app that shows your runs, your levels of activity, the Battery becomes less fresh and simply your general habits. What works for one person, must not work for another.
Oura Ring Battery Life, Charging and Problems
Charging itself is surprisingly fast. I heard of owners that need only around 25 minutes to go from fully dead to fully charged. One good habit to keep the Battery healthier more long is to avoid that it fall under 40 percent of charge.
Many users apply a strategy to keep the level between 40 and 80 percnet, what helps to extend the lifetime of the Battery.
It is also useful to know about the plane mode, that is worth mentioning. The app of Oura has its own plane mode. Different than that on your phone, but working by the same idea.
Turn it on, and it stops the Bluetooth link between the ring and phone for moments, what lowers the use of energy. When the ring fully stops syncing with the phone, the Battery lasts more consistently. Even sew, in that state you do not really use the features.
Here it gets a bit annoying. Many owners noticed, that the life of their Battery drops over time. Some started with five or six days per charge, but later found themselves resetting every one or two days.
The Battery of one person with Gen 4 fully died after exactly one year of use. Another owner of Gen 3 said, that his Battery fell from full to dead twice in a 24-hour period after two years. Even new rings sometimes reach only around four days, what already is a bit under the seven to eight days that one advertises.
Some models of Gen 4 have reported problems with the Battery. Through the app you can contact customer support and ask for a test, to check if the Battery of your ring really is faulty. The team of support and the chatbot are available around the clock.
When the test points to a problem, Oura sends a replacement. Some of those replacements are refurbished units, with small cosmetic marks or units that one returned because of issues with the size.
The cost becomes a real downside for many folks. It passes 300 dollars plus tax every two years, together with a monthly subscription, what upsets when the Battery fails. After around three years, most batteries start to fail.
Rings of the first generation usually last around three and a half years before problems with the Battery appear and the tracking of sleep becomes unreliable.
For comparison, at least one competing smart ring offers up to 15 days per charge. One does not expect, that the Oura Ring 5 will change the situation about the Battery and will stay with the same system of charging, including a fancy case forcharging that is much more handy for trips.
