I love my Oura ring. I have the previous generation and have had it since January 2023. Not only has it been beneficial to all you’ve recommended but it knew I was pregnant before I did 😳 and it’s so good at predicting when I might be getting sick, so I can stock up on vitamins and take it easy.

On another note earlier this year the battery started to misbehave and it would die after a couple of days. Oura sent me a a brand new one. No questions asked.

I love mine. Even though it is a bit garish.

I LOVE that i’m the First person to comment on this! And For so many reasons… Also a Gen X-er, (although 10 yrs older than you ) and from a Medical family who are predominantly major ‘scoffers’ at anything to do with ‘Wellness’ - although having said that, both my sister And brother wear smart watches (1 apple; 1 garmin) and My Bro makes his Own Kefir…. (!?!) I have also recently been told by my GP that my blood pressure is high, so - as I type - I’m wearing a ‘24 Hour blood pressure Monitor’, which in itself is a pretty weird bit of ‘wearable tech’ (!) My Dad was a urologist, and he’s always said that the ‘Fashion’ for drinking litres of water is largely overstated! My 5 yr old really wants a Fitbit (although I think mainly because her cousins have them), but for me - Increasingly, I feel like I’m moving away from tech… I don’t have apple pay; I do like playing music through a speaker - but still can’t figure out the Sonos app properly (!) and I don’t even check my step count - unless I Know it’s going to be close to 10k 😆 However, that said, I Love a bit of bling, so really looking forward to seeing your review of the 💍 ‘colour-way/ Options’ !
