Priced between ₹28,900 and ₹39,900, it offers comfortable, screen-free wear and detailed sleep insights via its companion app, though it's better suited for wellness than intense fitness tracking.

Into this growing space, Oura has made its official entry with the launch of the Oura Ring 4 — its first product in the Indian market. Priced at ₹28,900 for the Silver and Black variants, and going up to ₹39,900 for finishes like Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold and Rose Gold, the Oura Ring 4 sits in the premium segment of the wearable category. Unlike traditional wearables that rely on screens and notifications, Oura’s approach is more focused on health tracking through a minimal, ring-based form factor.The timing of this launch is notable. The smart ring segment has started to see interest in India, with a few brands already testing the waters. However, awareness is still limited compared to smartwatches and fitness bands. This puts Oura in a position where it is not just selling a product, but also introducing a new category to a wider audience.With the Oura Ring 4, the focus is clearly on design, comfort and continuous health tracking rather than on-screen interactions. The question, however, is whether this form factor — and its pricing — can find a place in a market that is still getting familiar with the idea of a smart ring. We have been using the Oura Ring 4, and here’s how it performs.Oura Ring 4 designThis is our first time using an Oura Ring 4, and the design immediately stands out for how different it feels compared to traditional wearables. There is no screen, no buttons — just a clean, minimal ring that looks closer to jewellery than a piece of tech.Oura Ring 4 is available in multiple finishes, including Silver, Black, Brushed Silver, Stealth, Gold and Rose Gold. The Rose Gold variant that we used has a glossy finish, which gives it a premium feel.One of the first things we noticed is how smooth the inner surface feels. Sliding the ring on and off is easy, and there are no sharp or uncomfortable edges. Over time, this becomes important, especially since the ring is meant to be worn throughout the day — and even while sleeping.The ring is made entirely of titanium, which keeps it lightweight. In daily use, we found that it does not feel heavy or distracting, even during long hours or overnight wear. Having said that, it is slightly bulkier than a regular ring, so it does take some getting used to in the beginning.Overall, the design leans heavily towards comfort and simplicity. It does not try to stand out as a gadget, and that works in its favour, especially for users looking for something less intrusive than a smartwatch.Oura Ring 4 performanceThe performance of the Oura Ring 4 is closely tied to its companion app, since the ring itself has no display. Most of the interaction happens through the app, and in daily use, we found it to be easy to navigate and well organised. The app subscription costs Rs 599 per month.The app is divided into three main sections — Today, Vitals and My Health. The Today tab shows real-time insights based on your usage patterns and time of day. For example, during work hours, we could see activity progress, stress levels and heart rate trends in one place. There is also a timeline view that gives a quick snapshot of how active or inactive the day has been.The Vitals section focuses on core metrics like sleep score, readiness and activity levels, making it easier to get a quick understanding of overall health. My Health, on the other hand, looks at long-term trends such as cardiovascular health and recovery patterns. This structure keeps things simple and avoids overwhelming the user with too many numbers at once.One of the noticeable aspects is how the app presents information. Instead of just showing data, it tries to interpret it. For instance, it may suggest that your activity goal is higher because you are well-rested, or indicate when your body is in a “rested” or “stressed” state. These insights feel useful in daily use, especially for users who do not want to manually analyse multiple metrics.In terms of tracking, the ring performs well for general health monitoring. Sleep tracking is one of its stronger areas. It provides detailed insights into sleep stages, duration and recovery, and in our experience, the data was consistent across multiple days. The lightweight design also makes it comfortable to wear overnight, which helps with continuous tracking.Activity tracking is more mixed. The ring can automatically detect common activities like walking and running, and in those cases, it works reliably. Heart rate tracking is generally accurate for everyday use and lighter activities, but there can be variations during more intense workouts. This is not unusual for wearables worn on the finger, but it does mean the ring is better suited for general wellness tracking rather than precise fitness monitoring.Oura also includes additional features like a health-focused assistant and experimental tools that provide early insights into changes in your body metrics. These features add value, although their usefulness may vary depending on how often you engage with them.Overall, the Oura Ring 4 offers a smooth and reliable experience for everyday health tracking, with a strong focus on insights and ease of use. At the same time, it is not designed to replace dedicated fitness trackers, especially for users looking for detailed workout data.On the battery front, Oura Ring 4 is a solid device that can easily last a week and more on a single charge. The smart ring comes with a sleek gray charger. It takes more than an hour to fully charge the smart ring. Verdict Oura Ring 4 enters India at a time when the smart ring category is still evolving. At a starting price of ₹28,900 — going up to ₹39,900 depending on the finish — it is not an impulse buy, and the added subscription cost is also something users need to consider. That said, Oura Ring 4 gets several things right. The design is comfortable and minimal, making it easy to wear throughout the day and even while sleeping. The app experience is well thought out, and the way it presents health insights feels useful in daily life. Sleep tracking and overall wellness insights are among its stronger points, and battery life adds to the convenience.At the same time, it is important to understand what the device is — and what it is not. The Oura Ring 4 works best as a wellness companion rather than a dedicated fitness tracker. For users looking to try a screen-free wearable focused on health insights, the Oura Ring 4 offers a different kind of experience that stands out in a growing category.About the AuthorNeha SainiAn English Honours graduate, Neha went on to strengthen her dream to write by pursuing Journalism.
