The video extensively compares the Oura Ring and the Ultra Human Ring, emphasizing their functionalities, design, and user experiences. Both rings offer health tracking, specifically sleep and activity monitoring, and deliver readiness scores for workouts. While the Oura Ring features a polished app with detailed metrics and requires a $6 monthly membership, the Ultra Human Ring differentiates itself with unique features like the circadian body clock and stimulant permissible window, and it comes at a flat fee with a free app. The narrator highlights that both rings are comfortable, wearable, and water-resistant but might provide inaccurate readings under certain conditions like increased skin temperature during workouts.
In terms of design, the Oura Ring is noted for its flat top and positioning beads, whereas the Ultra Human Ring has a circular shape and a matte finish, with both being made from lightweight titanium. The Oura Ring charges faster and lasts about five days. However, the narrator finds the Oura Ring's ongoing costs and necessity for membership limiting, favoring the flat-fee Ultra Human Ring for better trade-in offers and overall cost-effectiveness.
Lastly, the video foreshadows future market competition from tech giants and includes the narrator’s personal dissatisfaction with the Oura Ring's referral program, contrasting it with the smoother user experience and lower costs associated with the Ultra Human Ring.

In this segment, the comparison between the Oura Ring and its competitor, the Ultra Human Ring, begins with the consideration of whether to continue with Oura Ring’s paid membership after the free trial. The narrator initially appreciated the Oura Ring for tracking health without the need for an Apple Watch and a mechanical watch. The Oura Ring and Ultra Human Ring both provide sleep, activity tracking, and a readiness score to evaluate readiness for workouts. The narrator chose the Heritage Silver Oura Ring and, upon disliking its polished look, opted for the Graphite Gray Matte Ultra Human Ring. The importance of using a sizing kit to ensure a proper fit for both rings is emphasized. Both rings are comfortable, lightweight titanium, designed to be worn on the pointer finger without screens, with data accessible through their respective apps. Packaging-wise, the Oura Ring offers a more refined experience, while Ultra Human’s packaging is simpler. Design differences noted include Oura’s flat top and positioning beads versus Ultra Human’s circular shape, with the narrator preferring the feel of the Oura beads for accurate wear.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the practical use and comparative features of two smart rings, highlighting their design, functionality, and software capabilities. Both rings can blend into daily wear but are not substitutes for wedding bands due to their thicker design, and they will scratch over time. They are water-resistant and can be worn during showers or workouts, but can give false readings if the skin temperature increases, and may be at risk of damage during activities like lifting weights.
The speaker prefers using an Apple Watch for its accuracy but charges the ring during workouts and showers. Charging the Oura Ring is faster, providing about 5 days of use in under an hour, while the ultrahuman ring charges more slowly. The Oura Ring app is more polished, offering detailed metrics on readiness, sleep, and activity, with the capability to tag personal health notes. The Oura Ring even alerted the user to a rising body temperature, predicting illness accurately.
Conversely, the ultrahuman ring app includes unique features like a stimulant permissible window and circadian body clock, helping the user manage coffee intake and natural light exposure for better sleep. The Oura Ring app requires a $6 monthly membership, which is relatively affordable compared to other wearables, whereas the video does not specify a subscription fee for the ultrahuman ring.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the features and experiences with the Ultra Human Ring, specifically highlighting its circadian rhythm adjustment for better sleep and food tracking, including macronutrients. The workout mode is mentioned but deemed inaccurate, prompting a recommendation to use other devices like Apple Watch or Garmin instead. The Ultra Human offers a premium membership, Ultra Human X, mainly for extended warranty and special pricing but not necessary for standard app features. The speaker compares data between Ultra Human and Ora Ring, noting similar results but prefers Ultra Human due to cost-effectiveness and a better trade-in program. Complaints about Ora Ring include high ongoing costs and limited app utility without a membership. The speaker appreciated the refer-a-friend program for the Ora Ring but ultimately favored Ultra Human for its flat fee and useful app.

In this segment, the creator discusses their disappointment with the Oring referral program, noting that despite several sign-ups using their referral code, they received no benefits in return. They then tried the Ultra Human Ring, finding it comparable to the Oring despite the latter’s more polished app interface. The Ultra Human Ring offers similar functions and advantages but at a single flat price and with a free app. The creator predicts future competition from tech giants like Samsung and Apple in the smart ring market. They also mention providing a discount code for Ultra Human and their intent to return to discussing watches in future videos.
