Oura has been the top dog in smart rings for the past decade .

The Oura Ring 4 extends the company’s lead over the competition.

Design-wise, this all-titanium ring is nice but not dramatically different from other premium options like the Samsung Galaxy Ring or the Ultrahuman Ring Air.

The Oura Ring 4’s sleep and wake times align with my own manual testing logs.

The app has had a much-needed redesign.

Automatic activity detection has been expanded to 40 activities.

Oura has also consistently made an effort to partner with outside researchers to validate its results for years .

The Oura Ring 4 is best for new users or people who previously couldn’t find a size that fit them.

For those folks, it’s a matter of whether you can stomach the $ 6 monthly / $ 70 annual subscription.

Oura has a substantial lead in this space, but its rivals have made a point of eschewing subscriptions.
