Here are a few of my favorites right now:
What I added this week:
I am officially recommending the Oura ring over other tracking tools, including FitBit. I’ve used a UP from Jawbone, a Fitbit HR, and moved to the Oura in December. I ordered it online and it arrived in less than 4 weeks (I’ve seen some reviews that said it took longer.)
I miss the watch-like function of them, but the trade-off is that I forget I’m wearing a device. I can wear it in the shower or doing dishes. And it’s tracking is more accurate than either of the devices I wore before. It only tracks HR during sleep, and that’s part of the philosophy of the Oura. The ring, its app, and the analytics available on the Cloud all believe that the best day starts last night and give you plenty of tools to track. So far, it’s known when I am getting sick, and when I needed additional support due to stress.
Does it track steps? Yes, accurately and lets you add activities too. I’m happy with my choice.
What I am listening to:
Nothing specific this week, just lots of acoustic music with some female singers: Lavigne, Morrissette, Parx. It’s been a nice week.
