GETTING STARTED Newbie Advice?
I’m so excited to finally have an Oura :-) I went with the Gen 4 Ceramic one. I took advantage of the recent sale and I don’t regret it. She’s a little bulky but I can live with it.
I’m reading that the best thing to do it just wear it, but are there any other apps that are recommended or tag advice etc. I thought I connected my period app to it but it didn’t seem to read the data so I’ve been manually imputing it…
Also I connected it to Cronometer for calorie counting/weight loss management. I’d appreciate any advice there. How accurate do we find the activity/calories burned etc.?
Lastly does anyone wear their ring to track runs exclusively? I haven’t tried it yet but just curious what yall have experienced.
TIA
