00:00should you get the a ring or one of its
00:02competitors such as Ultra human that
00:04question only creeped in my mind once my
00:06a ring one month free membership was
00:08coming to an end and I'd have to pay $6
00:10a month to use or ring now when I first
00:13got or ring on Christmas day I was super
00:15excited I can finally get all my health
00:17tracking and I don't have to double risk
00:19an Apple Watch and a mechanical watch
00:21which is especially annoying with dress
00:23shirt cuffs and if you're not really
00:24familiar with what I'm talking about
00:26both of these are smart Rings the longer
00:28you wear them the more data it colle and
00:30can recommend suggestions based on your
00:32lifestyle both track my sleep including
00:34RM and how long it takes me to fall
00:36asleep which is useful for those like me
00:38who stay up late my activity such as
00:39counting steps and calorie burn and
00:41finally my Readiness score which is
00:43based on both sleep and activity to give
00:45me a score out of 100 on how ready I am
00:48to do a workout and if you're usually
00:50here for watches don't worry if this
00:51video isn't your thing I'll still be
00:53talking about watches on this channel
00:55but I just want to share my personal
00:56experience with both AA ring and Ultra
00:58Human coming from the perspective of
01:00someone who doesn't wear an Apple watch
01:03day now on the or ring I went with the
01:06Heritage silver design I got this one
01:08first and wanted something that would
01:09look like a regular ring or ring has a
01:11handful of designs that you can choose
01:13from ranging from $299 to 5.49 and on
01:16the other hand literally I promise
01:18that's the last time I'll do that
01:19ultrahuman ring air has four designs all
01:21priced at $3.49 I went with the graphite
01:23gray matte finish on the ultrahuman
01:25because now that I had Ora for a month I
01:27realized I didn't love the polished
01:29silver look and the graphi grade design
01:31seemed more discreet before you receive
01:33either one I recommend requesting their
01:35sizing kit to get your perfect fit
01:37because on ultrahuman I was a size eight
01:39and or ring I was size nine and the
01:42sample ring in testkit is the same size
01:44as the actual ring so it's very helpful
01:47and they even recommend that you wear it
01:48for 24 hours a day now once you confirm
01:50your size then you choose your finish
01:52and both of these rings are made of
01:53lightweight titanium made to be worn on
01:56your pointer finger both have no screens
01:58and all the data is to be read on on the
02:00app it's comfortable to wear all day
02:02even when sleeping and I had no major
02:03issues wearing the ring all day I can
02:06type with it write things down and the
02:08only thing I'm careful around are
02:09doorknobs and handles the packaging and
02:11presentation with or ring is definitely
02:13nicer they both simulate this Apple
02:15iPhone packaging with minimal papers and
02:18similar Arrangement both come with the
02:19ring a charging base and a USBC Cable
02:22ultra human packaging is a much larger
02:24box for no reason I like to think that
02:26they pay less for packaging convenience
02:28so they can just get you better Fe
02:29features on their app now or ring has a
02:32prominent design the top area is flat
02:34and inside the ring has three small
02:36beads which lets you feel out when the
02:38ring is properly positioned on the
02:39underside of your finger so you get
02:41accurate readings when you compare that
02:43to ultra human or ring is larger and
02:46thicker but just very slightly Ultra
02:48human ring air is shaped more like a
02:50circular ring with no flat surfaces
02:52there's a small flat area on the inner
02:54surface of the ring that reads your
02:55heart rate and data I find the beads
02:57from or ring to be better because you
02:59can feel when when it's in place while
03:00ultrah humid flat surface Blends in so
03:02well that I usually have to check that
03:04it's on properly and neither of these
03:06smart rings are here to be a replacement
03:07for your wedding bands as they still
03:09wear thicker than a wedding band and
03:11they just aren't as elegant as one since
03:13they are both Rings they will scratch
03:15over time when you wear it normally and
03:16so use caution when you open
03:19doors now technically you can wear them
03:21for showers and workouts since it's
03:23water resistant and durable but in a
03:25shower your skin temperature may
03:27increase which will give you a weird
03:28false reading on the ring meanwhile if
03:30you're going for a jog you could wear
03:32the ring but if you're going to lift
03:33weights row or even cycle then I suggest
03:36not wearing the ring at all since you'll
03:38scratch it and you'll probably adjust
03:39your grip around the ring which can be
03:41dangerous during workouts I still wear
03:43an Apple Watch because it's just more
03:45accurate than either of these rings so
03:46during either of those times I'll charge
03:48the Ring's battery it's very easy to use
03:50and it's impressive how both Brands put
03:52a battery and all that Tech inside this
03:55small compact ring charging is
03:57definitely faster on or ring in less
03:59than an hour you can get about 5 days of
04:00use you also get a notification on your
04:02phone if you're connected via Bluetooth
04:04which is really cool ultrahuman charges
04:06slower it took me about 2 hours charging
04:08to get to 70% the first time and a ring
04:11also gets hot from charging I'm rarely
04:14at 100% with ultrahuman but I do charge
04:16it more frequently during workouts and
04:19showers now Ora Rings app is more
04:22polished and simple to use compared to
04:24ultra human there are separate tabs for
04:26each metric with lots of data points and
04:28everything revolves around found
04:29Readiness sleep and activity you can
04:32even tag notes like late dinner a fever
04:34and so on while I had the aura ring the
04:36app notified me that I might get sick
04:38because it noticed that my skin body
04:40temperature was Rising even though I
04:42felt totally fine and the next few days
04:44I had the flu and a fever now while the
04:46fever wasn't great it was cool to know
04:48that the or ring gave me a heads up
04:50about it and while I had my fever I was
04:52so tired and slept throughout the days
04:54yet my sleep score was terrible because
04:56I kept waking up and never had any
04:58restorative sleep it was cool to see
04:59that data about my body since I've never
05:01actually tracked anything like that
05:02before and like mentioned both or ring
05:04and Ultra human can detect your skin
05:06body temperature but keep in mind that's
05:08the surface of your skin and it's
05:10different from your internal temperature
05:11if you use a therm monitor finally or
05:13rings app requires a $6 per month
05:16membership which if you compare to other
05:18wearables such as whoop band at $30 a
05:20month is not terribly expensive if you
05:22broke down $6 a month it becomes 20
05:25cents per day or the equivalent of
05:26buying one coffee once per month on the
05:29other hand oops I'm not doing that
05:31anymore Ultra humans app is formatted
05:33very similar with their own Readiness
05:35movement and sleep score on Ultra human
05:37they also have additional features such
05:39as stimulant permissible window AKA when
05:42should I have my coffee and how will it
05:44impact my sleep later this was really
05:46useful for me because I usually have two
05:48or more coffees and having a
05:50recommendation on what would work best
05:51so I could sleep later was useful for me
05:53there circadian body clock so when I
05:55wake up it gives me a time frame of
05:57natural light that I should receive and
05:59how it will help my body's natural
06:00circadian rhythm adjust for a good
06:02night's sleep there's also a food
06:03tracking including macronutrients now I
06:06haven't actually used this feature much
06:07but I can see this being helpful for
06:09someone wanting to count their macros
06:11and a workout mode which is still in
06:13beta and like mentioned honestly wasn't
06:16that accurate I tried the workout mode
06:18on Ultra human while doing a indoor
06:19cycling class and I was out of breath
06:21and Ultra human was telling me my heart
06:23rate was very stable the entire class
06:25which makes no sense so for workouts I
06:28say don't use the Rings use something
06:29else like Apple watch or Garmin but
06:31hopefully the beta mode on Ultra human
06:33improves finally ultrahuman does offer a
06:36optional premium membership called
06:38ultrahuman X for $30 a month but its
06:41main features is for extended warranty
06:43if your ring is damaged or loss and
06:45special pricing for their other products
06:47but nothing that limits you from using
06:48these standard app features like heart
06:50rate sleep and movement and because I
06:52had one month of data from a ring I
06:54could compare it with my data on
06:55ultrahuman and it was basically the same
06:57for me if my sleep score was was about
06:5980 to 90 then my Readiness was typically
07:02above 85% and because both apps can
07:04connect to Apple health and Apple watch
07:06I never relied on these rings for
07:07fitness and my step count was usually
07:09accurate on the Rings my sleep score
07:11body temperature everything was pretty
07:13much the same on either apps and I
07:15didn't really notice any major
07:16differences now I do wish both apps
07:18could alert you when you've left your
07:20ring behind like Apple Air tagged items
07:22because there's been times I went to
07:24wash my hands with soap and I would take
07:25off the smart ring and I would forget
07:27that I put it on the counter hours later
07:29go find it I'm like oh yeah I left it
07:32here but yeah in the end I returned to
07:35or ring after 1 month in favor of ultra
07:37human ring air because one the cost over
07:40time like mentioned or ring charges $6 a
07:42month for the app or ring has more
07:44designs so the ring alone will range
07:45from $299 to $5.49 on top of that you
07:48pay an additional $72 a year just for
07:51the app Ultra human ring air gives you
07:53four designs priced at $349 it's a flat
07:56fee with a free app and an ultra human
07:58also gives you a trade in program so if
08:00you have or ring and you want to switch
08:02over they'll give you a credit towards
08:03your purchase of ultrahuman without even
08:05needing to calculate it's obvious that
08:07or ring is more expensive because you
08:09buy the ring and you pay for the app
08:11versus a flat feet price of just the
08:13ring when I did not renew my membership
08:15or rings app became completely useless
08:18all I could access was meditation
08:20classes and I was pretty disappointed
08:21because it wouldn't even tell me my
08:22heart rate anymore I was able to log
08:24into my Ora account on a computer to
08:26download my data into a spreadsheet
08:28which was also useless for me because
08:30it's no longer in that userfriendly app
08:32all of that was just really
08:33disappointing with AA ring number two
08:35they refer a friend program through Aura
08:37ring so if you have an active membership
08:39you can refer a friend for $40 off when
08:42I got my ring I also use another
08:43friend's $40 coupon and I was genuinely
08:46excited to talk about ordering because I
08:48didn't want to double risk Apple watch
08:49and mechanical watch and I figured some
08:51of you guys would feel the same when I
08:53first got ordering I was really
08:54optimistic so I made a short video
08:56documenting my experience and I was in
08:58the beginning of my membership and I
09:00ended up using all my refer a friend
09:01discount code in the first month and I
09:03was hoping that because multiple people
09:05signed up using my code I would get at
09:07least one month free membership in
09:08exchange for like 10 people signing up
09:10but no I got nothing from oring so when
09:13my free membership ended it was just
09:17sorry that's it nothing literally
09:19anything you've ever referred a friend
09:21you would get some kind of benefit and I
09:22was surprise or ring literally gave
09:24nothing and finally number three so
09:26towards the end of having or ring I
09:28decided let me just try Ultra human ring
09:30air and let me see what it's about and
09:32once I had both in my hand I realized
09:34that the app was basically the same as
09:36or ring I was sold on returning or ring
09:39even though or Ring's app is more
09:40polished and easier to navigate
09:42ultrahuman provides nearly the same
09:44thing which just takes a few moments
09:46getting used to and also includes all
09:47those other functions that I mentioned
09:49earlier when I first got or ring I had a
09:51feeling that I would get over it after
09:5330 days because one month of doing the
09:55same thing routinely should give me a
09:57good idea on how to sleep better
09:58exercise ex size more and recover well
10:00and at the end of the day Ultra human
10:02has one flap price and a free app and
10:04maybe things will change when Samsung
10:06and Apple comes to Market with their own
10:08smart ring then Aura and Ultra human are
10:10going to have a little bit of a run for
10:11their money anyways thanks for watching
10:13my review I'd love to hear your
10:14experience with either Rings or smart
10:16devices for health tracking if you want
10:18to try Ultra human you can use my code
10:20minutes 10 for 10% off and I'm going to
10:22go back to talking about watches again
10:23so don't worry if this video isn't your
10:25thing just want to share my experiences
10:27on both products that so
