The one major downside of a screenless fitness tracker is that you don’t get live feedback during your workout. Oura has set out to change this, with its new Live Workout Tracking feature. Until now, the Oura ring has purely been a retrospective tracker, allowing you to see your stats once you’ve finished a run or bike ride, but now, the ring allows you to see real-life stats on your outdoor activities.
