Sizing and Fit

Proper sizing is crucial for the accurate performance of your Oura Ring Gen3. Oura Ring Gen3 uses a unique sizing system that differs from standard US ring sizes. It is highly recommended to size yourself with an official Oura Ring Gen3 Sizing Kit before purchasing your ring.

Sizing Process:

1. Purchase the Oura Ring Gen3 Sizing Kit: This kit contains plastic replicas of all Oura Ring sizes.
2. Try on Multiple Sizes: Wear different sizes from the kit to determine the most comfortable fit.
3. Wear for 24 Hours: For optimal accuracy, wear the chosen plastic sizer for at least 24 hours to account for natural finger swelling throughout the day and night.
4. Find Your Most Comfortable Fit: The ring should be snug but comfortable, allowing for full finger movement without feeling too tight or loose.

For best performance and accuracy, it is recommended to wear the Oura Ring on your index finger.
