Editor's Verdict
Even with the arrival of the Oura Ring 4, the Oura Ring Gen 3 remains a formidable sleep and recovery tracker—sharing the exact same Oura app experience, Daytime Stress, Cardiovascular Age, and Natural Cycles integration at a lower $249–$299 street price. If you don't mind its three slightly raised interior sensor domes and 5-to-7-day battery life, it is the most affordable entry into the Oura ecosystem.
