Oura Ring vs Ultrahuman Air | Which Wearable is Best?

I put both the Oura Ring and Ultrahuman Air Ring to the test. Which comes out on top, and which wearable tech do I recommend? Find out in this ultimate showdown. No matter the outcome, I know you’ll enjoy how many gadgets I’m wearing in this video.
I’ve been wearing sleep tech for years now to monitor and track my sleep data. It’s an incredibly valuable resource as it helps me pinpoint bad versus quality sleep and how sleep is deeply connected with my daily habits, for better or worse. I can see the direct relationship between my sleep and what I eat, when I eat, when I go to bed, and consuming stimulants of any type, among other factors.

Have you ever used a gadget to track your health goals? If so, which do you recommend I try next? 💬

[@scalefree]

Ours folded

[@Heal6764]

yes! WHOOP is a dream!!!

[@patch1459]

The sole reason I’m looking for other options is because of oura rings subscription. I don’t care about how much money I have, the subscription model is crazy

[@DarthGengarus]

Exactly I woulda got a whoop if it wasn’t for that. They software lock the devices and that’s so stupid

[@patch1459]

@@DarthGengarus I regret to inform everyone that I fell into whoops subscription model after a friend gave me a free month trial. I love it and am planning on buying the actual subscription very soon

[@ShervinShares]

so many rings... married to health

Your funny AF you get that as a comment so you send it to others hahah healthfluencers probs hahaha

[@stunt2flame]

Very professional unbiased comparison! Thank you for deep informations

[@artravision]

Best review I’ve seen of these rings.

[@swerzer]

Very helpful, informative, and well presented. I initially thought of getting an Oura ring but I just can't get past that subscription fee which to me, is irritating. Especially when the Ultrahuman and Ringconn doesn't require it. Based on everything presented, I'm going with the Ultrahuman. Thanks again for the great review!

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@principal7819]

Best review I've seen so far. The fact that the Ultrahuman doesn't write sleep tracking data to Apple Health is a deal breaker for me. Really disappointed it doesn't do that as it was definitely looking like a purchase!

[@ItsDaCruze]

Yeah but gen 3 oura ring has a monthly sub. And apparently terrible QC and support. Can’t say the ultrahuman is any different though lol

[@KazeHorse]

It does write sleep tracking into Apple health now.

[@chowpuppy4537]

I just saw the Oura commercial during the Giants-49ers game. For 30 seconds, I was thinking, "Oh wait -- that's a real product?"

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Ring fitness and sleep trackers are pretty awesome

[@Infinite_Ouroboros]

Subscription is an automatic no from me. Its either going to be the ringconn or the ultrahuman, leaning more towards the ringconn though.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Will be comparing all three in a future video!

[@stopPlannedObsolescence]

Accuracy and precision?

[@janinegeorgette3708]

Great video! Thanks for your hard work, Dr. Jubbal! Would you say one should consider getting both an Oura Ring and the Apple Watch for both sleep and fitness tracking, then? Or would an Apple Watch be enough, since it also tracks sleep?

[@kevinjubbalmd]

I always found the apple watch quite uncomfortable to track sleep with - too bulky for me, but YMMV. I think if you're able to sleep with it, it's likely adequate for sleep tracking

[@janinegeorgette3708]

Thanks, Dr. Jubbal.@@kevinjubbalmd

[@tubezone666]

It is good that the oura ring has gaps in the night while sleeptracking as the other rings fill the parameters and measurements with nonsense values, if they dont have the data.

[@brianjohnston2168]

Had the Motiv at startup, many years ago, it's sensors are positioned just like the one on the Ultrahuman Air, hated it, I will stick with my Oura 3.

[@uaziz7]

I use Ringconn and I'm pleased with it. No subscription also. Great portable charging case as well. Nice review, doc!

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Going to be testing out the Ringconn!

[@stopPlannedObsolescence]

Accuracy?

[@cammieklund]

​@@kevinjubbalmdHave you tested it yet?😊

[@JayaLove]

Amazing review! Any idea if UH is now sending sleep data to Apple Health? It’s a dealbreaker if it doesn’t.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

They do now have sleep integration to Health!

[@piscesplans3620]

Great info! Which one do you think is more scratch resistant?

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Oura based on my experience

[@DiLLZGFX]

I really like the advice from Dr pietro boselli - keep it simple. You dont need any of this shit. I feel so liberated after removing my smart watch. I can see some use if you're over weight, don't know how to track calories or if you dont know how to even get started with exercise. For someone like dr jubbal, id imagine this being more a gimmick if anything

[@jpaleblue]

The OURA ring is a horrible product. It doesn't works as advertised and their customer service is insulting. The only return they will make is for size and after that, if your product doesn't work or perform as advertised you are stuck with a worthless ring! BUYER BEWARE. The reviews below must be paid for or from the company.

[@ryanlebear]

Yeah all these reviews are suspicious

[@williamlee7782]

I like that oura ring can turn bluetooth off. Not sure if ultrahuman can.

[@Drillorz]

I currently have a size 11 Oura ring but I want to get the ultra human ring. Should I just order a size 11? Or how do the sizes compare

[@UltrahumanOfficial]

Hey! Always best to order the Ring AIR with the physical sizing kit to ensure you're getting the best possible fit for yourself :)

[@ida8355]

Would it be possible for you to do ultra human ring air vs ring conn smart ring?

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Have plans to test the ring conn ring as well and will compare to these two

[@alicraft1613]

Normal people: it’s a fitness ring Miraculous ladybugs fans: it’s the alliance rings 😂😂😂

You and me both =D

Do you like it? If so, why? TIA

[@Jadzim27]

Currently, Im thiking about getting the ultrahuman ring. my biggest worrie: 1) I work at hospital and I disinfect my hands quite alot through out the day - my question is if the disinfection is a problem.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Great question. Should ask the company directly

[@Jadzim27]

@@kevinjubbalmd thanks!

[@UltrahumanOfficial]

Hey! The ring remains unaffected by humidity, moisture, minerals, soap and hard water. However, it is crucial to ensure the skin beneath the ring stays dry.

Any time ultra-human ring

[@cluebug]

I have the gen 3 Oura approximately a year. It was not tracking my divided sleep times( night shift worker) I notified them and they said they knew and were working on it! I thought the point of the ring is to track all of my sleep!?

[@NonnyPoppy]

I finally received my Gen 3 Horizon ring. Would not connect to my Samsung even after doing ALL of the recommended BS steps they recommend via their "help" pages. Further research revealed that it is an OPEN KNOWN ISSUE 1577 - ANDROID FAILS TO CONNECT. No fix. No workaround. No updates. Apparently, no one is even working on a fix. Seriously, WTF?!? THEY'RE SELLING RINGS THEY KNOW WON'T WORK!!

[@agentpt]

Oura looses all the time. Hate the subscription

[@argosbrave6415]

3:03 they are not similar at all lol. Do you still feel like Oura is more accurate? My primary use case is sleep tracking so… this is a bit confusing to see

[@kevinjubbalmd]

The way the data is portrayed has a lot of similarity, especially when you scroll down to sleep stages and HR/HRV data. Should be more b roll of those segments throughout the video

[@DRealHammer]

3 hours difference? Damn, that’s a huge data gap between those… Is even one correctly tracking? On July 31: - 8 vs 5 ½ hours total sleep - 9 vs 6 hours time in bed Not similar at all

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Normally very close. One ring probably fell off my finger middle of the night

[@humtum8090]

Have you given Read Apple watch permissions to Ring Air?

[@sandyschleher3132]

I wear both rings and Oura deep sleep score is very low, and the ultrahuman is much much higher. My Galaxy watch is closer to Oura. WTF? Who can you believe when there is such a large discrepancy?

[@MrBonesO]

Is it calculate steps and fitness correctly on Android?

Would be the same

Worked awesome with food in our society so far ^^ (like >60% overweight who might die early) But seriously I see your point. Do I really need this data and I guess depends. If you notice that every Wednesday you sleep horrible but other nights alright, maybe you should check your Wednesday activities. All a question if you want to improve and prioritize your health.

Comparison to WHOOP?

[@NonnyPoppy]

Is there a WHOOP ring?

[@Pitsy]

Not a fan of anything that needs a subscription to see the data when Apple gives it all for free

[@Techfanatic73]

Sleep tracking is the most overrated useless metric ever. other than maybe turning down the temp or going to bed earlier not much to do about it. When I wake up I already know if I slept like crap. Pretty useless to me. Been using sleep tracking for years and outside the first few weeks of novelty it's meaningless to me. I like that the heart rate is more precise on your finger than your ring.

[@Frankybeanselevators]

So they both are useless gimmicks. thanks
