相较于上一代 Oura Ring 3,新发布的 Oura Ring 4 在外观、功能、软硬件等方面都有所升级,使其在智能戒指市场中继续保持领先地位。

设计升级,更舒适佩戴

Oura Ring 4 的内外环面采用了全新的「钛金属」制造,外观精致时尚。相比于前几代戒指的树脂塑料内环面,这种新设计让戒指看起来更简洁、更精致。

戒指外观圆润纤薄,《卫报》的 Samuel Gibbs 把它形容为「高品质的珠宝」。

此外,Oura Ring 4 取消了上一代内环中的传感器凸起,使内部更平整,提高了佩戴舒适度。

关于这一点,外媒 The Verge 的 Victoria Song 也有体验:

我的指关节比较粗,之前的戒指取下时会感到疼痛。这次却没有这个问题,让我感到宽慰。

经过评估,在市面上智能戒指中,Oura Ring 3 被认为是最出色的一款。经过升级后,Oura Ring 4 显然会成为 Victoria Song 的新宠。

Oura Ring 4 引入了一种新的智能传感算法,将传感器信号路径数量从 8 个增加到了 18 个。传感器放置是非对称的,在各种距离上都可以进行测量,不受戒指旋转和手指尺寸影响,改善了测量准确度。

Oura Ring 4 推出了六种饰面颜色,包括银色、黑色、金色、拉丝银、隐形黑和玫瑰金,玫瑰金版本更昂贵。

硬件升级,监测更精准

Oura Ring 4 配备了可监测血氧水平、心率、心率变异性、呼吸速率和皮肤温度的研究级传感器,支持运动、活动监测和睡眠追踪。

新的 Smart Sensing 功能将算法改进,提高用户适应性和监测准确性。据称,新算法使信号质量提升了 120%。

Oura 称经过医疗机构测试,Smart Sensing 提高了对呼吸障碍的监测准确性,降低了白天和晚上心率的差距,并显著提高了血氧传感的准确性。

Oura Ring 4 支持识别40多种运动模式,续航能力也有显著提升,最长可使用8天,即使使用了耗电的血氧传感功能,也能使用约6.5天。

充电底座也经过改进,更大更时尚更具金属质感。

软件升级,体验更智能

Oura Ring 4 的推出带来了与之匹配的 app 的改进。新设计的 OURA 应用程序更简洁,集成了许多功能:

  • 今日(Today):显示用户生物监测数据和事件时间线;
  • 生命体征(Vitals):深入了解各项指标和得分;
  • 我的健康(My Health):关注长期趋势、健康报告等。

此外,新功能包括压力监测、膳食记录系统、AI 聊天机器人等,为用户提供全方位的健康数据和个性化建议。

综合来看,虽然 Oura Ring 4 不是跨时代的产品,但在设计、硬件和软件方面都有明显提升,为用户带来更好的体验。它有潜力成为一名「小而美的健康管家」。

然而,考虑到订阅价格和交互不足,目前佩戴 Oura Ring 3 的用户可能无需升级。

如果你是新用户并且重视睡眠监测和康复,或之前的产品不符合你的手指尺寸,Oura Ring 4 是一个不错的选择。否则,不如选择智能手表。

After a three-year hiatus, Oura company's new generation smart ring, the Oura Ring 4, quickly caught the attention of various media outlets upon its release. Many media outlets soon after the launch conducted reviews and experiences, and most of them highly praised this exquisite little gadget.

Compared to its predecessor, the Oura Ring 3, the newly released Oura Ring 4 has been upgraded in terms of design, software, and hardware. These upgrades are enough to maintain the Oura Ring 4's leading position among various smart rings (such as Samsung Galaxy Ring, RingConn, etc.).

Refreshed Design, Comfortable Wear

The inner and outer surfaces of Oura Ring 4 are completely made of "titanium metal," somewhat paying homage to Apple's iPhone 15 Pro.

Compared to the resin plastic inner surface of Oura company's previous generation rings, this new industrial design makes the entire ring look quite simple and exquisitely delicate.

The ring has a rounded and slim shape, with Samuel Gibbs, a consumer tech editor at The Guardian, describing it as resembling a "high-quality piece of jewelry."

In addition to the design, Oura Ring 4 also eliminates the sensors protrusion in the inner surface of the previous generation, making the inside much smoother. This new design significantly improves the comfort of wearing the ring.

Regarding this, foreign media The Verge's editor Victoria Song could relate:

My knuckles are quite large, and trying to take off the old Oura Rings, the sensors protrusions could be painful. This time, I didn't encounter this issue, which is a relief.

Interestingly, this editor had previously reviewed 6 well-known smart rings on the market, including Oura Ring 3. The conclusion was: Overall, Oura Ring 3 is the best among them. After this upgrade, Oura Ring 4 will undoubtedly become Victoria Song's new favorite.

Actually, with the introduction of a new intelligent sensing algorithm in Oura Ring 4, the number of sensor signal paths has been increased from 8 to 18. Moreover, the sensors are asymmetrically placed, allowing measurement at various distances. Thus, the rotation of the ring and differences in finger size have little effect on the measurements, rendering the protruding sensors redundant.

Upon its release, Oura Ring 4 launched with six color options: silver, black, gold, brushed silver, stealth black, and rose gold. The rose gold version of the ring is priced higher.

Hardware Upgrade, Precise Monitoring

The Oura Ring 4 is equipped with "research-grade sensors" for monitoring blood oxygen levels, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, and skin temperature, while also supporting exercise and activity tracking and sleep monitoring.

The introduction of the new "Smart Sensing" feature is another highlight of Oura Ring 4. This improved analysis detection algorithm not only increases the adaptiveness to different finger sizes and skin colors but also brings a more accurate and efficient monitoring experience. It is reported that the new algorithm improves the signal quality by 120%.

According to Oura, the "Smart Sensing" feature, after being tested by a medical institution specializing in sleep disorders, showed a 15% increase in accuracy in monitoring breathing disorders, a 7% reduction in the difference between daytime and nighttime heart rate monitoring readings, and a 31% reduction in the difference between daytime and nighttime heart rate monitoring readings. Additionally, this feature significantly improves the accuracy of blood oxygen sensing.

It is worth mentioning that in the field of automatic exercise detection, the Oura Ring 4 now supports the recognition of over 40 different types of exercise modes. This means that the ring can correctly identify what activity the user is doing in most cases without manual input.

The battery life of Oura Ring 4 has also significantly improved compared to the previous generation products, with a single charge lasting up to 8 days. Tests show that even with the power-consuming blood oxygen sensor function enabled, the ring can last for approximately 6.5 days.

In addition, the charging base of Oura Ring 4 has been improved: larger, more stylish, and more metallic.

In response to this, Victoria Song felt a bit disappointed. She hoped that Oura could use a more convenient charging case.

Software Upgrade, Smarter Experience

With the release of Oura Ring 4, the accompanying app has also undergone some user-friendly improvements and optimizations.

Compared to the previous cluttered and chaotic app user interface, the new design of the "OURA" app is more streamlined, integrating functions into three sections:

  • Today: Dynamic tab. Summarizes the user's current biometric data and event timeline;
  • Vitals: Provides a deep understanding of various indicators and scores through metrics and statistical charts;
  • My Health: Focuses on long-term trends, such as the user's sleep types, cardiovascular age and function, resistance to stress and diseases, as well as various health weekly and monthly reports.

These features provide users with comprehensive and intuitive health data, helping them stay informed about their health status in real-time.

The OURA app has also introduced its first stress monitoring feature, "Daytime Stress," allowing users to view daily activities in their stress environment to better understand the physiological effects of different habits and behaviors.

For female users who are trying to conceive, the new "Fertile Window" feature allows menstrual tracking and helps them identify fertile days, showing estimated daily chances of conception and ovulation time. This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Natural Cycles fertility service.

Surprisingly, the OURA app has also embraced the current AI trend by introducing several interesting and practical AI features.

To summarize the user's dietary habits, the OURA app's Diet Recording System can use the phone's camera to identify the food the user has eaten through AI and add it to the timeline. According to reviews, this system can accurately identify various types of food, even some difficult-to-distinguish home-cooked dishes.

"Oura Advisor" is an AI chatbot prepared by OURA app for users. Users can ask about certain health indicators, and based on the data collected in the app and professional health knowledge, it provides answers and personalized healthcare advice to the users.

While many other AI hardware are struggling to be implemented and commercialized, making smart rings "AI-friendly" might be a good and feasible way forward.

A Little Better in Every Aspect

Overall, although the Oura Ring 4 has not become a "revolutionary" product, it has performed its duties as a "next-generation" smart digital product very well. It is still one of the best and most mature smart rings on the market.
