I have an oura and love it. Absolutely key to figuring out some health issues I was having. So happy with it my wife got one for herself. Wear it 24/7 except during some workouts. After a year with an oura the biggest takeway is it is not a workout tracker, it is a recovery tracker. It will tell you how your body is recovering from the stress you put in. It does a terrible job tracking any workout I've tried other than rucking and you can't see live data to target a HR zone, only a summary after. So my current approach is, oura app is my central touch point for all fitness tracking. polar H10 for any target HR workout, kettlebells and rowing in my case. I manually add that workout into oura after I finish based on H10 data. Oura is good enough for rucking for me. When I'm fighting, BJJ, I just use the oura app estimator to track that workout. This may sound slightly down on oura, it isn't. After a year of training with it I've totally flipped my thinking to what is normal. Knowing your recovery state is far more important than knowing how hard you worked. My advice to any curious biohacker is to get one. Without it you have no real information about how your self experiments are affecting you.

Flexible, I can put it on my wrist, bicep, underwear for when i'm wrestling. It's really just a sensor that connects to your phones I really like the software. Features like week planning, recovery impacts, etc. Sleep monitoring is good. The strain feature uses your max heart rate zones and the higher the zone the faster you build strain, it's also logarithmic so as you build strain it gets harder to build more. Has an interesting ai coach feature, you can ask it about insights on your data or to even just lay it out and it will point you in the right direction. It calculates how much sleep you need based on various factors like your debt, how long you're typically awake, strain, and subtracts it from naps. Pretty cool, lmk if you have questions.
