IF YOU’RE TIRED<\/strong> of bulky fitness trackers, constant charging, and bright screens lighting up your wrist at night, it might be worth looking into the Oura Ring 4. We got to test the latest generation of the popular smart ring<\/a>, which promises upgraded sensors, real-time stress tracking, and deeper recovery insights\u2014but does it live up to the hype? The short answer: yes.<\/p>\n

In a sea of fitness trackers and smartwatches, the Oura Ring 4 stands out for its minimalist design and science-backed wellness features. But we’re going to dig past the chic outward appearance in this review, and dive deeper into its sleep tracking, stress monitoring, sport modes, and every dirty detail we noticed in six months of testing. <\/p>\n

We started this research while putting together our list of the best fitness trackers<\/a> in 2025. (Spoiler alert: the Oura Ring 4 earned a spot in that list.)<\/p>\n

How We Tested the Oura Ring 4 <\/p>\n

For the past eight years, our fitness and gear editors have been testing all the top fitness trackers as they release. Experts, including our Fitness and Commerce Editor Charles Thorp, NASM<\/a>, put countless smart rings through the gauntlet and evaluated models on accuracy, design, durability, and price. Oura Ring has consistently impressed our team, and after six months of testing, we can confidently say the Oura Ring 4 is no exception.<\/p>\n

How Does the Oura Ring 4 Work?<\/p>\n

The Oura Ring 4 doesn\u2019t have any palpable sensors (the previous model had three nodes) in its sleek titanium band, but it still collects health data just as well as the previous model even with the recessed sensors. A perk for smart rings like this: Blood flow tends to be more stable<\/a> on your finger, lending to greater accuracy for stats like body temperature, blood oxygen and heart rate.<\/p>\n
