I tried the Oura ring for a week – but I still prefer my Garmin

Oura Ring Gen 3 being worn.

The Oura Ring Generation 3, a sleek and unobtrusive sleep-tracking wearable, found its way into my life at the perfect time. Over the past year, I've been on a mission to improve my sleep; something that has been on my radar since realizing that I cannot, in fact, survive on just six hours of sleep every night. It’s become clear that the older I get the more I need a healthy sleep routine to help me function better, be in a better mood, and to aid my exercise recovery.

However, logging my sleep pattern consistently proved challenging. I easily forget to write a grocery list before my food shop, never mind remembering to log sleep every day or wear a cumbersome device to bed. When TechRadar’s fitness editor handed me the best smart ring available right now (and one our best sleep trackers), the Oura Generation 3, I was really eager to discover if it could impact my sleep quality and daily readiness.
