I purchased the Oura Ring well before it was “trending” and this will be my fifth year using it! I have the Gen3 Gold, but started with the Gen2. Of course the Gen3 came out only a few months after I purchased it and I really wanted to upgrade for the new features. At the time, Oura was grandfathering in customers who had the Gen2 and I don’t have to pay the monthly membership fee, so it made sense for me to do!

I initially purchased the ring when I was doing a deep dive on HRV (heart rate variability). I had learned that HRV was an important marker of health, specifically nervous system health.
