Oura ring 3 was announced today. Now its 6 bucks a month on top of shelling out 299 to get it. Adds a bunch of stuff to make it basically the same stuff as whoop
Problem I keep hearing with the ring is it’s hard to do bar activities (lifting/etc). Feels “not comfy”. And Persian or Id be afraid to definger myself
Been noticing lately that my “do nothing” whoop strain has been higher lately. So far today have done laundry and worked from home and I’m already at 10.3…
I work out with Orangetheory and they claim that their workouts give an “afterburn”. I always thought that was BS but now wondering if this could explain…or Whoop is being weird

I’ve noticed similar results after days of hard workouts/high strain.
Yesterday was a high strain day and I went a fair bit over my recommended strain and a walk today came in at almost twice the strain as a typical walk does.

Could be true with the OTF “afterburn” I’ve seen that a few times.
I will say with the 4.0 my “normal” “not doing shit” strain is much lower.
4.0 is on the arm. Its functioning so I shouldnt complain, but geez not looking forward to these charging times. Slow as can be just so I can shower while charging?

Right…didn’t upgrade the battery pack to waterproof for nothing!

The new bicep band is a big leap in quality from 3.0, or maybe that’s just the first impression fooling me. Also got the newer armband for soccer & that seems way better, much less bulky than the previous version.

Not your imagination. It’s definitely better all around.

Received the 4.0 today and the battery pack won’t charge… Welp.
Sometimes you have to “wake it up” to charge. Tap it while plugged in.
Or just leave it plugged in awhile.
Mine shipped dead and that fixed it.
Welcome to wireless charger in general. It’s terribly inefficient.
I have a question for those who have received their 4.0 already.
(I hate when Will Ahmed calls it the “four dot oh”. Dunno why, I just think it sounds a bit douchy and forced)
Is the device itself only shorter than the 3.0, or is it also narrower and/or thinner?

Certainly shorter and when I have them next to each other they seem the same on thickness and width but I swear it sits flatter on my arm so maybe a tad thinner. Maybe something to do with the new band.
Well it finally worked after “several” taps.
Thank you,

I had the same issue on my initial charge. A few back-and-forths between the charger and the band, repeated tapping and it finally worked. Only was an issue that first time.

Seems like a completely dead issue. “2 taps” to wake it and slide on work like a charm now.
I used the haptic alarm this morning. No chance I could sleep though that.

I’ve really only used the haptic alarm since I got the 4.0. I love it. Way better to wake up to than my phone alarm.

Shipping notification for 4.0, should receive it on my birthday. That’s pretty slick, Whoop.
