    Oura are struggling hard NOT to enshittify. Their newer rings have several hardware issues, chiefly battery life, and their policies on replacements keep shifting (And becoming worse for consumers).

    I've used an Oura since the early days (2021 or 2022 IIRC), and I won't upgrade from my gen3. It's been helpful for longterm health monitoring and seeing what interventions work for me, but the company is becoming anticonsumer (Much like the rest of the deranged high-growth corporations) and I don't have much faith in them.
