Talking Tech With Oura's CEO!

[@maluminse6013]

This video inspired me to scroll back to Jacklyn's 1 year anniversary video (8 years ago). The hard working kid with a dream has grown into a charismatic, ambitious young woman who has earned the respect of the tech community. Look out Marques, Linus, and Arun.

[@NBTJacklyn]

Wow what a comment thank you so much for your belief and support 🥹🙏🏻 this means so much to me!! And love marques’, Arun and Linus’s work!! Major inspirations and friends!

[@NBTJacklyn]

We put our heart and soul into every single second of this video - from the research, to the red eye flights, filming and the like 10 different versions in the edit ha, gave it our all and it was so much fun Hope it resonates with you 🙏🏻 More to come! Thank you so much for being here!!!

[@GaryStockton]

Excellent interview Jacklyn. Great contextual cuts of application and charger tray. Great pace too, lively conversation and you kept the questions flowing.

[@NBTJacklyn]

@@GaryStockton yay thank you so much!! So happy you enjoyed it Thank you!!!!

[@Sir_Rizzy]

The Oura CEO seems really knowledgeable and sincere. Great interview as usual!

[@NBTJacklyn]

Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏻 and agreed!

[@_september_4799]

It’s always so nice to see a CEO who reflects such passion for the product and has that spark of founder mentality!❤

[@OlafsLeftArm]

"Sincere" is quite a generous word, considering at Oura gen 3 launch pretty much all marketing from them and influencers paid by them was hiding the fact there is a monthly subscription that paywalls several features. Only price of the ring was mentioned. Scamming of customers at its prime!

[@bydward]

Love this, have one myself. I appreciate that he is willing to show he still wears Apple wearable and commit to knowing their service is not to replace that type of wearable, but while also being fully confident that their ring is the most accurate for sleep, etc. I dont love the revenue dynamic of a large up front cost ($350) and a monthly recurring charge for the service and app. I think it’s OK for me to be disappointed by that. The initial $350 should at least grant you 2 years of the service, not 1month.

[@nro337]

Loved this talk so so much!! Please do more of these! As an Oura ring owner this was so fun to watch :)

[@NBTJacklyn]

Yay!!! Ah stoked you liked it thank you so much!! More to come 🙏🏻 just recorded the next one yesterday!

[@TheShadowbrand]

What a fantastic interview! This was so interesting. Jacklyn, you're interview style is so great. You ask such great questions, and you listen to their answers instead of just waiting to ask the next question. Still absolutely crushing it! I can't wait to see what you do next!

[@NBTJacklyn]

Ah wow thank you so so so much I’m so happy you like it 🥹🙏🏻

LEGENDARY

[@Garythefireman66]

Watched this right after the Samsung Ring video. I think I need one or the other. Really interesting interview.

[@NBTJacklyn]

Thank you so much!

[@magicdave2006]

Wow - really awesome interview. Thank you. So interesting and what an inspirational guy. I love my Oura ring and can’t wait to see the new developments ❤

[@NBTJacklyn]

Thank you so much I’m so happy you liked it

[@mden2490]

Great video. Thank you. I am still reluctant to buy the Oura ring due to the fact that there is a subscription and you cannot measure your blood oxygen during the day either manually or at certain intervals! It is only measured during your sleep. I get that they are keeping an eye on battery life, but at least offer an ability to measure it manually.

[@BobbyStef]

A charging case would be great idea.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

He never talked about the mandatory rental fee for using the device.

[@YambouSVG]

You did and most reviewers do - so now we know again 😅 I think most Oura users can afford this fee so it’s a non issue when deciding to buy

[@h.nguyen4193]

@@YambouSVG It's not the matter of affording a products or not. It's insulting to charge a premium price for a product "Rental" you paid a premium. WIthout subscription the ring is simply a paper weight. This means if the ring last a lifetime (which it won't) you have to continue paying for the ring. The only people i know do this are the cable companies and people despise them and have stop using cable services. it's a dead end business strategy. People find it greedy and insulting.

[@merson812]

​@YambouSVG You missed the point completely.

[@hometechUK]

They just need to enable basic features if you end your subscription.

[@NBTJacklyn]

Agree I don’t love that so much of tech is moving to a subscription model, I understand why they would do that from a business POV but I don’t think it’s what’s best for the user

[@philrosenn]

It is amazing that you have such poise and skill as an interviewer without being formally trained as a journalist. A true pro!

[@NBTJacklyn]

From my favorite journalist 🥹 thank you so much !!! 💙🙏🏻

[@veershah3736]

Great interview. Any information on the release date of the gen 4?

[@makhnoroman]

After Samsung announced its ring, I was going to buy it. Then then, i read a lot of review, opinions and finally chose Oura. Because it is not only about hardware, but software that do some analysing, prediction, advise. And Samsung app cannot be compared to Oura. Same with Apple watch. The apple watch is one of the most precise device. But it fails to present data in a convenient way. I hope that with IOS18 they would change it. So, for now, my choice is Oura ring, of course I dont like subscription, but Samsung is 100$ more expensive, so you can actually get the benefit only after 18 month.

[@biologySoon]

Oura needs to drop the monthly charge. A bunch of us are leaving oura for different platforms that have no charge.

[@shooshik]

I hated it for the first couple of months as well but then thought it should lead to new app features and not selling my data. Facebook, KZbin and instagram is free because they sell our data. I hope Oura doesn’t sell ours.

[@DivitMukhi]

Congratulations ❤❤ thanks for making this video as smart rings popularity have risen in recent years. Will surely watch it after my college 😂😂😂. Thanks 🎉🎉 for putting your heart and soul

[@TheRealTommyR]

Oura listen to us customers and get rid of the subscription. Oura is very aware that its customers don’t like paying a high price for a device, then paying a subscription on top of it just to be able to materially use the product.

[@JoSequoia]

Hi, For many people, the subscription seems to be a reason not to buy the product, as we need subscriptions for everything these days. However, as a business owner, it’s not just about profit but about ensuring the continuous improvement of the product and services. With a product like this, there’s also research into health data involved, and in this case, I can actually understand the need for it. Additionally, there are competing products without a subscription, but in my experience, the software and accuracy tend to be the issues with those.

[@geekertheseeker]

loved it, really gd questions, and it is something new! 💙

[@NBTJacklyn]

Thank you so much so happy you liked it

[@h.nguyen4193]

customer service sucks. Subscription for a premium price product is insulting. Battery life is subpar compared to others.

Never really focused on wearables before. Learned a lot about Oura today. 😊

I actually picked the Oura ring and I was thinking whether to just go with the Oura Ring or also buy the Apple Watch and the Whoop to make a comparison post.

I got an Oura ring as my wedding band! It’s a great commitment symbol 😅

[@Tokeknudsen]

If it was possible to win an Olympic Medal for Cuteness, Jacklyn would win at least silver - if not gold!! 🥈🥇 And your content is on point, needless to say 👏

[@chriscarpunky]

I bet Oura will get nervous when Apple announces a ring. I bet he don’t be wearing an Apple Ultra anymore. Maybe Oura should think about with coming out with their own smartwatch.

[@07truth]

Yep, he probably should have a traditional watch. Once Apple does a ring, the majority of Oura’s customer base will disappear overnight. The iOS integration will be superior. Oura’s best bet is to get bought out by Apple though I doubt that happens. Big tech always wins.

[@majestyblur3668]

He is wearing aura ring plus an Apple Watch Ultra

So beautiful and talented love watching your videos.

[@ExposedRoot]

LET'S BE REAL!! Nice interview but let's be honest. Their days are numbered. I bet money on it. Now that Samsung has a pretty compelling ring out In fact they sold so many that they're adding another 600,000 to production. That's a million rings and a million less than Oura would have sold. Very few people are going to jump on their ring when they can stay in the same ecosystem and not pay a monthly fee. Samsung may charge a fee in the future but regardless I bet they still offer more than this company In front of the paywall. Next he's trying to suck it up to Apple saying that Samsung was trying to play catch up with Apple. That's because now that's going to have to be their main market but let's face it Apple will have a ring out in the next year or two and that will be that. Apple is not going to support this company's ring over theirs. He's talking about good to have competition but I bet that room smells like poop from what he's spewed in his pants. I bet the hope was one day Apple would just buy them. I bet this guy and shareholders were counting on getting a huge payday from a buyout. That dream is dead. I'm not laughing I'm just looking at this as another teaching moment. He literally just made a commercial for the benefits of buying a Samsung ring. The reason why you would have a watch and a ring. I actually learned a lot and if I have a board of rings it would be a Samsung ring to go with my Samsung phone and my Samsung watch ultra.

Why these Oura Guys so Apple fixed? There are lot of Android Users out there and also similar products so competition is much harder in that area!

[@scooteracers]

They should really implement a “fidget charger” If the ring spun I’d be spinning that all day long. If you could generate power from that I don’t think half of us would ever need to take it off to charge lol.

[@1977NOBODY]

I’m definitely interested in one of these rings,But I’m on a fitness kick and I’m losing a ton of weight…What if I buy a ring then lose more weight to where the ring is loose what then. Do I have to buy a whole new ring every time this happens🤔That seem a bit ridiculous

[@NBTJacklyn]

Wow that’s a great point, I’m not sure, would assume you’d have to rebuy but definitely worth looking into Since the ring is so correlated to health it would be cool if they did discounted exchanges for circumstances like this Also good for you, epic to hear :)

[@Betancourtdm]

I actually went the opposite route, gained some weight! I had to move my finger from my index to my other ring finger. Lol

[@SubstreamNewsNetwork]

We've been covering tech rings in recent videos and forgot to talk about Oura 🥲 Love the technology and what a great interview.

[@NBTJacklyn]

Personally, I love Oura. The health stats and accuracy are second to none. I likely won't get a Galaxy ring since Oura is more established in that field and provides more data.

[@SubstreamNewsNetwork]

@@NBTJacklyn The style of interview, camerawork, and good vibes throughout were awesome. I liked how close you were sat, it felt more friendly, some interviews the people are really far away from each other and it feels really forced.
