The Oura Ring 4 has been upgraded with improved comfort and battery life, while maintaining its best-in-class sleep and health tracking features. However, its disposability due to non-replaceable battery and inability to be repaired are significant drawbacks.

Verdict
Oura Ring 4 Review Summary
-
The Oura Ring 4 is a significant improvement in fit and comfort over predecessors, and doesn’t remotely look like a piece of technology on your finger.
-
Its accuracy and battery life improvements are welcome. Oura’s best-in-class sleep and general health tracking, as well as its good app and reliable syncing keep it ahead of increasingly fierce competition.
-
However, the ring’s biggest problem is that it cannot be repaired and the battery cannot be replaced, ultimately making it disposable and losing it a star.
