Hey friends, Andrew here, hope you're well! Today i am really excited to unbox the Oura Ring,
a smart ring basically! I've been meaning to get for a while now and this one here is specifically
the new Oura Ring 3 that just dropped with a few new features and a very controversial actually
new subscription model for first time owners. But...I'm keen to see just how good the sleep
tracking is on this thing how it looks and how it stacks up to my other tech wearables so let's
unbox this together and set this up together and i'll give you my first impressions this box here
is the Oura ring itself and the box in the back is the sizing kit which i'll talk about in a moment
by the way i've seen a number of complaints about long delivery times with this ring but the sizing
kit came within a few days and once i selected my ring size the ring itself came within a week so
pretty fast delivery for my experience anyway but let's open this up so initially i feel like the
box feels a little flimsy actually uh this this opening edge here is is doesn't doesn't feel great
it feels like it could fall off any moment but looking at the packaging itself i think it looks
really minimal it looks quite sleek it looks nice now this ring itself let's take it off this feels
really good like surprisingly i think it looks far better than than what i thought it would look
um yeah it genuinely looks like a piece of jewelry it looks like an accessory rather than a tech
wearable i'm really impressed right now with how sturdy it feels and how it looks in person
this one here is obviously the silver and first impression really good i mean this is far nicer
than i thought it would be and my expectations weren't low either so let's put this on the index
finger i believe that's what i got this size for size 10 on the index finger so let's slip that
on and this fits pretty nicely as expected feels good it definitely includes presence on the hand i
mean it is chunkier than a conventional ring but it's still sleek enough to fly under the radar
yeah it feels really good it's not light but it's not too heavy either let's slip this on the middle
finger so i got the size 10 to fit on both the index and middle finger just in case i want to
switch it around and actually one design element that i really appreciate i don't know if you can
see this right now but that flat top on the top of the Oura ring it gives it this aesthetic look that
i personally appreciate i'm not sure if this is more pronounced on the new order ring 3 but either
way there's definitely more sensors within the inner ring with the Oura Ring 3 but yeah overall
the silver looks great i'm right now very glad that i went with the silver i think it looks
pretty stylish better than i thought it'd look so yeah let's put this back on oh i think this is
magnetic is this is this packaging magnetic it just sort of slipped on um anyway let's open it up
so opening it up we have that would make sense so this is the charger itself uh hence why
it's magnetic uh obviously i should have realized i'm talking about the charger real quick the
charger is specific to each ring size from what i've heard and the charging times it's actually
quite quick to charge this thing it's about 20 to 80 minutes depending on your charging frequency
for a full charge that's pretty quick that's relatively quick and of course it comes with
the usbc cable thank god for that and but pretty straightforward stuff there and then just taking
a quick look at what else is inside here we've got i believe the manual and so um i mean don't
really read manuals i just set everything up i think it's pretty straightforward stuff
uh but you know compulsory i have the manual in there and then i believe this
is just warranties and just uh random tidbits here unfortunately no cool or ring stickers
but uh yeah this is just some other boring stuff we'll leave that aside for now also for those who
don't have an ordering you're probably wondering like why exactly did i order this ring here when
i already have an apple watch and a fitbit what is the point of an oil ring well apparently
and this is what i'm going off because i haven't tested it yet obviously
it has amazing sleep tracking if you watched my full review on the apple watch you'll know that
the sleep tracking doesn't cut it for me nor does the fitbit so i'm really excited to test out
the sleep tracking on the ordering my sleep is pretty appalling and then of course there is the
aesthetic decision and design style of wearing a ring so let's move on now and uh talk about
the sizing kit which is a really crucial part of buying your o-ring i'm going to give you a
few tips when it comes to the sizing kit so once you order it it'll take about a couple days in my
experience anyway for the sizing kit to come and this sizing kit is extremely important
because if you don't use the right if you don't get the right size you're going to run into issues
with tracking so you want to make sure that out of the eight here that you pick the right size and so
there's a few rules that you need to follow so the first one is that you actually want to
test one size and leave it on overnight and that's because the finger size fluctuates throughout the
day depending on heat and when you sleep etc and the prime position for one of these test rings is
actually the index finger so to maintain tracking accuracy according to Oura you need to wear this
on the index finger the second best options are your middle finger and then your ring finger
okay that was seriously hard to get off this is a size nine so you want the size to be
tight but not overly tight where it's really tough to get off guaranteed one of you guys are gonna
leave a that's what she said comment down below but uh yeah anyway so yeah not too loose not too
tight and make sure that the three bumps where the trackers are are on the underside so the palm side
that's really important you don't wear it you want to wear it the other way around
and another big reason why sizing is so important other than tracking is because you know there's no
change of mind here and the thing is with ring wearables is that they're tough to sell simply
because there's eight different sizes and so if you want to resell this uh sell it on i should
say then it's gonna be tough because only there's eight different sizes here whereas you know with
a watch there's different straps you know there's plenty of different holes you can sort of uh strap
your wrist into so just be wary of that now let's move on and set this thing up and take a look at
the app which i am pretty excited about i've heard great things about the app so yeah let's go set
this up right now by the way if you're enjoying these unboxing videos then leave a like down
below it's always really appreciated thank you in advance so here is the app again i've heard really
good things about the app and so far the ui looks amazing i'm currently setting it up and it seems
like i need to take off the ring actually and put it on the charger before we set this up so that's
what i'm going to do and let's click continue here and yes so it's obvious searching for the
ring so let's put this ring on the charger first so i've just put the ring on the charger pad and
it's just detected it and i'm gonna click connect and just give it a little while to connect up
okay so that little while actually took about 20 minutes it there's issues finding this ring
for some reason or connecting up and syncing up with it but finally it's connected up a bit of
hiccup there and now we've got the firmware upgrade so let's fast forward this actually
so in real time that took about 15 minutes so all up this setup process took far longer than i
expected took about 30 35 minutes all together not sure if this is just my own personal experience
or if it's a universal thing if it is let me know down in the comments below but moving on
now i'm going to turn on notifications because i want those health updates and then i'm also
going to sync it up to apple health so it speaks easier communicates better with my apple watch too
now it's asking me what my goal is um it doesn't seem like i can even multi-select here but i feel
like i've got more goals than this but anyway let's continue uh how's your sleep at the moment
i mean i don't have trouble sleeping per se so i'm gonna go the middle option then continue uh do i
have anything that affects your sleep right now i think i have a pretty busy life so i'm gonna go
with a i have a hectic life moving on then i've got physical activities currently it's going to
put these in and then uh we'll continue on okay the account is all set up now and because i'm a
new ordering user as you can see on the top here that is the date when my free six month trial ends
and then i unfortunately need to start paying 5.95 a month this is a brand new subscription setup
that our ring has implemented as part of the new Oura ring 3 which has caused a lot of uproar and
i'll talk more about that i think in the full review when i post that up in a few weeks time
yeah just taking a quick look at the app right now there is some stats that has been pulled over from
my apple watch because it's integrated with apple health which is a great feature but otherwise
there's uh it's pretty blank because obviously i haven't used the Oura ring yet we also have this
new explore tab which is kind of their take on you know guided audio meditation and relaxation
but i mean this is you know they're trying to justify their 5.99 monthly uh subscription with
this tab as well but i mean i already have and i know a lot of you would already have a
subscription to headspace or calm so yeah they're just trying to justify the new subscription fee
here but to me i really want to see if this Oura experience altogether really does justify 5.99 a
month on going the entire time you use it but so far i think this is a great product like the first
impression of the physical ring itself this one here is great uh it looks great i think it feels
great the ui on this app looks awesome too whether or not the subscription of fine 95 is justified
with the entire experience because mind you this this ring is already 299 usd so we'll see i mean
i'm pretty keen to try it there's a six month trial so if you're keen to see that full review
