For those unfamiliar, the Oura Ring is a popular wearable that counters the popular smartwatch form factor with a ring instead. The Oura Ring is designed to go on your index finger and collect a handful of different metrics, including your sleep, blood oxygen level, active calorie burn, heart rate, workouts, and more.
Oura has always offered an iPhone app with Apple Health integration, but this week it’s dramatically expanding its integration with Apple platforms, particularly the Apple Watch.
The headlining change here is an all-new Oura Ring companion app for Apple Watch. This app can show you your Readiness, Activity, Sleep Scores, heart rate, body temperature, ring battery level, and more. Oura describes it as a “mirror of Oura’s iPhone app.” This means that when your Oura Ring syncs to your phone, the Apple Watch app will simultaneously be updated.
Here’s a full rundown of the data available in the Oura Ring app for Apple Watch:
Readiness
- Readiness Score
- Resting heart rate
- Heart rate variability
- Body temperature
- Respiratory rate
- Readiness contributors
Sleep
- Sleep Score
- Total sleep
- Time in bed
- Sleep efficiency
- Resting heart rate
- Sleep contributors
Activity
- Activity Score
- Activity goal progress
- Total burn
- Walking equivalency
- Steps
- Activity contributors
Perhaps most notably, the Oura Ring app for Apple Watch also includes a set of complications that you can add to your Apple Watch’s face. These complications can show information from the Oura Ring on your Apple Watch at a glance, including:
- Scores
- Activity goal progress
- Ring battery level
- Heart rate, movement, sleep, and body temperature graphs
Alongside the Apple Watch complications, you can also now add Oura Ring complications to your iPhone’s Lock Screen for the first time.
The new version of the Oura Ring app is rolling out now via the App Store. This includes the new Apple Watch companion app, as well as the new iPhone app with Lock Screen widget support.
