Here are some basics on how to best care for your Oura Ring to enhance its longevity and ensure you get the most out of your experience.
Scratches or other damage caused by wear and tear are not covered by Oura's warranty policy.
Oura Ring 4 have titanium exteriors. The Oura Ring may get scratched and can itself scratch softer metal jewelry or other objects in close contact with the ring, such as phone covers made of gold, silver, or aluminum. Some ceramic phone covers with a soft coating may also get scratched.
Everyday Care Tips
- Wear your Oura Ring on your non-dominant hand to reduce the amount of contact with various surfaces and objects you interact with on a daily basis
- Avoid wearing other rings adjacent to your Oura Ring. Other rings may scratch your Oura Ring while rubbing against it
- Consider removing your Oura Ring in situations that involve friction (e.g. weightlifting), or when handling objects made of metal, ceramics, or stone (such as handling pots or pans)
Cleaning
- Rinse with mild dish soap and water; dry thoroughly before wearing again
- If following strict handwashing protocols, remove your ring and wash separately like other jewelry
Clean Your Sensors
We recommend cleaning the infrared LED sensors (the three small bumps) located on the interior of your Oura Ring approximately once a week. This can be done by wiping them down with the inside of your t-shirt or a piece of cloth, or by rinsing your ring with a small amount of mild dish soap and water. By doing so, you’ll remove any dust or dirt that may be interfering with the signal between your ring’s sensors and the arteries on the palm side of your finger. Hand sanitizer is also safe to use with Oura Ring.
Avoid Extended Exposure to Extreme Temperatures
Oura Ring operating temperature ranges from -10–52°C / 14–125°F. You can safely wear your ring in the shower, hot tubs, saunas, ice baths, and cryotherapy tanks. However, extended exposure to extreme temperatures (below -20°C / -4°F or above 60°C / 140°F) may lead to battery damage.
