How To Find a Lost Oura Ring (The Steps)
The Oura Ring is an important piece of technology that provides insights into your sleep, activity, and overall wellness. Losing the ring means losing valuable data and insights.
The following are steps to take when you realize your Oura Ring is lost:
Start Searching
To find Oura Ring, look around your house (in your pockets, bags, or purses) or any areas where you’ve been recently (like the office or the gym).
Retrace your steps to see if you can remember where you last had the ring. Retracing your steps helps you narrow down your search area for the missing ring.
Use an App
You can use the Find My Ring or Find My Lost Bluetooth Device apps to find your lost Oura Ring. The apps are built to detect nearby Bluetooth devices.
Using the ‘Find My Lost Bluetooth Device’ app, select your lost Oura Ring on the list and move around slowly. Watch the estimated distance, signal strength, and hints on the screen. When you see the “Your Device Is Here!” message, look around and you should find your smart ring nearby.
If you are using the ‘Find My Ring’ app, move around slowly. When the Oura Ring is in range, a signal indicator will appear. Move towards the direction of the strength of the signal. You should be close to your Oura Ring when all or most of the bars have lit up.
NB:
- For this method to work, the Oura Ring should have some battery remaining. You won’t be able to use the method if the Oura Ring battery is dead.
- The method won’t work if the ring is in Restricted Mode. Unrestricted mode protects your ring from any unauthorized pairing.
