Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “A Smart Ring You’d ACTUALLY Want!”.
Thanks to Aura for sponsoring today’s video, this is your average consumer and today we’re checking out something completely new to me at least, and that’s this guy right here, the aura ring gen 3 Horizon. This is the first smart ring that I’ve ever tried and it’s honestly pretty wild the amount of tech that they can pack inside of something so small. So, for those of you who are unfamiliar, the aura ring is a smart ring that can track all kinds of health information from your sleep habits, which is probably the biggest selling point here to your workouts calories, burned your Readiness for the day and even cycle tracking, Like I said earlier, this is the third generation of the Ring which added some cool new features like a blood oxygen sensor, so that it can let you know, if you’re having any breathing disturbances at night. Now I know a lot of us out there use things like the Apple watch, but I don’t know me personally: I’ve never been a fan of using the Apple watch for any sleep metrics or anything like that. I just kind of use it for text messages and getting notifications knowing what’s going on when I don’t have my phone on me, but this feels very different.
This feels way more intentional. You definitely get a lot more information and we’ll talk about that information in just a bit, but from what I’ve experienced so far. This brings a lot of the things that it tracks to the Forefront of my mind, things that I’m not necessarily looking for on this watch. I never have, but with this I’ve got it on for that sole purpose and, like I said it brings it to the Forefront of the mind, but now that you’ve got a quick overview of the Ring. Let’S talk about what you get inside of the box. If you decide to pick this thing up so first things: first, if you plan on ordering this, I definitely suggest getting their free sizing kit, so you can make sure you know the right size for the finger that you plan to put this thing on once you Know your size and you get your hands on the actual ring. You’Ll see that it of course, comes in a pretty small box inside of this box, we’re immediately greeted by the ring, but underneath that you’ll get a charging cable, which is a USBC to a cable. And when you dig a little bit deeper.
You’Ll find the paperwork that it comes with, which has your safety and warranty information Nation, as well as a quick start guide to let you know exactly how to wear the ring. Now, when you get back to the packaging that the ring is in you’ll see that it’s sitting on a charging base, so you can plug that USB cable, that we got our hands on right into here and not the ring itself and I’m not gon na lie. When I first opened this thing up, I was surprised at how normal the ring felt. But when you look inside of the ring you’ll notice that it has three little bumps, which have the sensors inside of them and to make sure that you’ve got the sensors.
Always in the right place, there’s a little indent on the ring which should be facing the inside of your hand, so it should make it really easy to make sure that you’ve got this thing on correctly and always in the right position. I kind of expected it to be more on the clunky side, considering all of the tech and sensors that are included in it, but turns out. It feels and looks just like a normal ring to me now. I’Ve got mine here in the silver color, but there are five total color options, also including black stealth gold and rose gold.
Now I wear a lot of silver jewelry, so I went with the silver color option here, but I kind of regret it. I kind of wish I went with the stealth instead because sometimes I switch over to gold and that would have worked with both options, whichever I decided to wear so I kind of limited myself with this one. So when you pick yours definitely factor in all of the different jewelry and colors that you wear make sure you pick the right one, but now let’s talk about what this thing is actually trying to pull off. Like I said earlier, this thing is all about sleep tracking and it does an insane job at that.
So let me pull out the app and show you guys all the details that you can get from here and don’t shame me. My sleep habits are pretty bad. Now, when you jump into the app there are quite a few things on your home screen that give you an overall picture of how you’ve been doing. You can see that lots of different information, depending on what you’re looking for, but we’re gon na really quick jump right into the sleep since, for me, that’s the biggest thing that I’ve been using this for and they’ve got a lot of information here. So, of course, you’re going to see your total sleep last night I slept for five and a half hours spent six hours in bed, and I think that metric is pretty cool, because the ring will tell you exactly how long you spent inside of the bed from When you jump in to when you jump out, uh sleep efficiency, 94 and a resting heart rate of 61 beats per minute. Overall, my sleep score for last night was a 72 which is good, not the best uh, but I’ll take it now, as I scroll down, you can see my sleep contributors and, of course, I’ve got two red flags over here. My total sleep and my timing. My timing is always horrible, but yeah. This section right here is where they completely break it down. You get hard numbers as to like when you had deep sleep, REM, sleep all that stuff and it’s even Wilder that you can go down and see exactly when those different stages of sleep happened. I think at first it may look a little bit overwhelming. There’S like a lot of information here, but I think, as you get used to the app you can scan it pretty quickly and get the information you need now.
I’Ve been using this thing for a couple of weeks now and what’s cool is that they provide a calendar that you can jump back and see when you got your best sleep. I got some of my best sleep when I first got this thing. Look at that optimal sleep, score, 88, now I’m getting like 76’s.
So clearly, I need to do better in my life, and one thing I think is pretty cool about this sleep tracking is that it can actually detect when you take a nap. So if you fall asleep – and you know you nap somewhere, I’ve had this thing go off when I nap on the plane, and it gives you that information say you took an hour and 43 minute nap that was on the plane. Don’T judge me now, like I said, sleep a very big deal, but they also have activity tracking. So you can see all the information based on how active you are based on the goals that you set within the app now me personally, I could do better. Here too, I haven’t been to the gym in weeks because it’s just been a really busy season.
I’Ve been traveling a lot, so my training frequency is just absolutely horrible. Jay. Look at this bar man. Look at my training frequency, but yeah.
I do need to do better about that, and what I like is that, unlike Jay, the app doesn’t, shame you. It just says: pay attention to these different things, so you can work on them in the future. So if you have some serious goals that you want to achieve, you can, of course plug them into the app and it’ll, of course, keep track of all of that information. Now, there’s an entire tab dedicated to your Readiness.
That’S like your score for your Readiness for the day kind of gives you an idea of what you might expect to feel like throughout your day, and it also gives you a ton of scores and information and anything that you might not understand. You can jump into and you can read exactly how it impacts you and your day and your body. So there’s a lot of good info here and I’ve just never seen anything like it, and if there are things that you want to implement into your life like meditation or taking time to breathe or even helping with your sleep, there’s a whole explore tab that you Can go into so that you can work on different aspects or add new things into your daily routine. So, there’s a lot that the app offers and gives you information about, and you just wouldn’t expect it from something this small now I feel like we could spend forever talking about the app because there’s just so much information that you can dive into. But one last thing I want to talk about is the battery life, so this thing can last up to seven days on a single charge which is just wild to think about.
Unfortunately, with smart watches, you got to charge those things like every night. With this, you charge it once a week and you’re pretty much good to go now. What’S even crazier is just how quickly this thing can charge and considering the size of a ring.
I guess that makes sense. I’Ve been in situations where this thing was about to die and I was gon na head out, but I wanted to keep track of everything going on in the day. So I threw it on the charger for maybe a few minutes and I was covered for a few days. So it’s just mind-blowing that in this tiny body you get all of that battery life, while it’s tracking you throughout the entire time so battery life. Definitely a huge plus, very big fan of that, especially if it’s about to die and you’re about to go to bed, throw it on a charger for a few minutes and you’re gon na have your night covered no problem and if you’re, in that situation, it’ll even Give you a notification to let you know: hey, throw it on the charger really quick before it’s bedtime, really cool stuff. I do see what all the hype is about. If you’re serious about tracking your sleep, maybe you want to improve in that aspect. This is a solid investment, there’s a lot more information to be had from this ring than I’ve seen on any other device so far, but that about rap set up for this video guys. If you want to learn more I’ll, of course, have it linked Down Below. In the description, uh put the ordering It’s pretty dope.
I also like the fact that its name sounds like my last name Aura. I think that’s dope, but until next article guys, hopefully you enjoyed it. If you did be the cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up, I’m Gon na Catch You guys in the next one till. Then it’s your average consumer peace.
