So glad to read this. I hold out hope that mine lasts a long time.
I am not wearing mine around the house. I have noticed, not wearing it virtually stops the battery depleting, so maybe this will help its longevity.
I have been pleased with its durability. I have dropped it on tile floors several times, and smacked my hand against hard surfaces while wearing it at least 10 times. I cringe when this happens, but is has kept working for me. I know my luck will run out at some point, but mine has not been fragile.
Iāve also been participating in a covid study using the ring, so there is some āreal scienceā being tried with this device. it will be interesting to see the results.
Iām really liking my Oura ring. If anything, it has made me more aware of my sleep habits and it holds me accountable for maximizing my sleep. When I turn on Netflix at night, it makes me think āCrap, Oura will tell me I only slept 5 hours if I watch this movieā. As a result, I often turn off the TV and go to bed.

In the off chance anyone is considering buying one, I (and any other oura user, I assume) have 3 $50 off coupon/referrals for black, silver, or stealth rings

I have had mine since October, overall I am pretty pleased with it. I wanted to get data about recovery, TrainerRoad was telling all about my training but listening to the Podcast I knew little about my recovery. The sleep data is sometimes a bit wonky, a few times I have been awake and the data showed I was asleep. I have fallen foul of forgettIng to add a workout and would love more syncing options. However, I have found that the readiness score and trends to be really useful.

I did the same thing and ran both in parallel. Think Oura is superior in everything bar the app/UI, plus the subscription model makes the Whoop cost another level again.
For me, if Oura replicate the Whoop survey each morning and then create the weekly/monthly insights report theyāve covered the missing gap.

any oura users having sync issues with google fit? was working fine until about a week ago when strava and google fit werenāt syncing workouts, which in turn wasnāt pushing anything to oura.
Were you able to resolve this?
I recently purchased an Oura ring and am having issues getting TrainerRoad workouts to push through correctly.
Strava integrates with google fit, which integrates with Oura. When I ride outside and record the ride on my Bolt the rides push correctly from Wahoo->Strava->Google->Oura. However, when I ride indoors and record within the TrainerRoad app the ride pushes from TrainerRoad->Strava but does not push to GoogleFit. Anyone else experience this? Any known fixes?
Yes, they resolved this. It was an issue that Strava needed to address and they did. However, there has always been the need to āeditā your ride on your android device for this push to happen. That is still necessary. So basically, go into strava, pull up the ride, edit, save and it should push it. If that doesnāt work, perhaps check to make sure the connection is still in place. I noticed somehow the google fit connection had been āunchecked.ā
Thanks for the reply!
Okay - I didnāt realize you had to edit and resave the ride that came from TrainerRoad. I did that (modified the bike, saved, then changed it back to the correct one and saved again) about 10 minutes ago and it hasnāt come over yet, but perhaps I need to practice some patience. Iāll give it an hour or so and check again
I did confirm the integration is still enabled with Google Fit (and my outdoor ride from Sunday came over automatically as a sort of POC).
what type of device do you have? It also wonāt go back in time, so the workout would have to be from today. It should be pretty much instantaneous.
Yeah, it was a workout I completed this morning (finished around 5 hours ago). Did the edit->save on my android phone. Still hasnāt showed up in Google Fit so maybe it was outside the time limit. Iāll give the same a try on tomorrowās workout immediately after completing it
Can confirm that editing and saving the ride in Strava (soon after it had synchronized over from TrainerRoad) did trigger the integration from Strava to GoogleFit. Thank you!

as mentioned above, make sure you edit and save the strava ride, open google fit, then open oura app on the same day so that the activity gets sent to oura. they only sync activities on the same day.
Iāve emailed oura support a couple of times asking that they just work with strava directly, but i got the standard āweāll look into this feature in the futureā response meaningā¦ they probably arenāt.
My workflow is usually when I finish my ride, I go to the strava app and update the gear to the appropriate bike and save. I used to update my gear on my PC which made the strava edit an extra step, but doing it from the device kills two birds with one stone.
This was reportedly fixed, but has not worked for me for weeks now. Yes, I found out the need to open and edit Strava rides for them to sync last year.
I am manually adding workouts for now.
check to make sure the connection to google fit is still checked in strava. Mine inexplicably was unchecked.

Iāve disconnected and reconnected so many times. I even uninstalled Google fit and Strava from my phone and reconnected them. No luck.
Just thought Iād check the connection based on your message and yes, unticked. Ticked and weāre in business. Might have been unticked due to the last fix Strava implemented to fix this 
Thank you @russell.r.sage
With the newly announced Oura Ring 3 (today), will the integration process between HRV4training and Oura Cloud remain the same?
