The Oura Ring is a highly sought-after wearable device that allows users to track various health metrics. One common question users have is whether the ring is waterproof. While the Oura Ring is not entirely waterproof, it offers water resistance up to 330 feet (100 meters).
This water resistance rating means that the Oura Ring can withstand swimming, showering, and snorkeling without damage. However, it is not recommended to wear the ring during scuba diving or other activities that involve extended water submersion or extreme pressure.
Compared to other smart rings, the Oura Ring’s water resistance is on par with the Ultrahuman Ring Air and exceeds the Amovan Smart Ring. It offers the same level of protection as the Apple Watch Ultra, making it a suitable alternative for those seeking a water-resistant smartwatch.
It is important to note that extended exposure to extreme temperatures, both high and low, can potentially damage the Oura Ring’s battery. Therefore, it is advisable to remove the ring when engaging in activities such as ice baths or saunas.
