One of the most important things you need to get right when buying the Oura Ring is the ring size. And that’s why I have created this Oura Ring sizing guide to help you.
Since the fitness ring is meant to be worn 24/7, it is important to get a size that is comfortable and fits well. Also, to get accurate readings from your Oura Ring, it is important to make sure that it fits properly.
One of the most common methods for determining your Oura Ring size is to order a sizing kit. This kit includes a range of ring sizers in different sizes (6 – 13) that you can try on to find the best fit.

Why Ring Sizing is Important
Choosing the right size for your Oura Ring is crucial for its functionality and comfort.
A ring that is too small can cause discomfort, while a ring that is too loose can easily slip off your finger and get lost.
Additionally, an ill-fitting ring can affect the accuracy of your sleep and activity tracking.
Factors to Consider when Determining Ring Size
Changes in finger size throughout the day
Your fingers can change in size throughout the day and in response to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
This is why it is recommended to wear the ring sizer for at least 24 hours to confirm your best fit.
The finger you will be wearing the ring
Since different fingers are different in size, you need to take your time and think carefully about the finger you want the Oura Ring to go on. Later changing the finger will mean ordering another ring. For instance, if you order the ring for your thumb and later realize the ring might look better on the index finger, you’ll have to buy a new ring for the index finger.
NB: Oura recommends the ring be worn on the ring, index, and middle fingers, but you can still wear the ring on the thumb or pinky finger effectively.
The hand you’ll be wearing the ring on
Finger sizes on your dominant hand may differ from those on your non-dominant hand, so it’s recommended to measure both hands and choose the larger size.
How to Measure Your Ring Size for Oura Ring
Before purchasing an Oura Ring, it is crucial to measure your ring size to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit. Here are some steps to follow using the free Oura Ring sizing kit:
NB: You will find other ways of measuring your ring size online (like using a string or piece of paper), but I prefer sticking to using the free Oura Ring sizing kit.
- Place your order for Oura Ring (at this point you don’t know your ring size).
- The Oura Ring sizing kit is shipped to you in 3 to 9 days.
- Decide the hand you want to wear the ring on. Fingers on the dominant hand tend to be larger than those on the non-dominant hand.
- Decide the finger you want to wear the ring on. Even though the Oura Ring can be worn on any hand, Oura recommends the index finger for accurate readings – with the middle and ring fingers as the best alternatives.
- Use the sample rings from the kit to find your size.
- Wear the sample ring for 24 hours to be sure. The finger can change in size due to temperature and time of day.
- Once you have your size (6 – 13), confirm it by visiting the link on the sizing kit’s packaging.
- The Oura Ring will be shipped to you.
By following the above steps, you can measure your ring size accurately and ensure a comfortable and accurate fit for your Oura Ring.
Tips for Accurate Ring Sizing
Choosing the right size for your Oura Ring is crucial to ensure it fits comfortably and accurately tracks your data.
The following are some tips to help you determine your correct ring size for Oura Ring:
- Use a sizing kit: Oura offers a free sizing kit to help you determine your size accurately. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully when using the kit to ensure an accurate reading.
- Try different fingers: Take the time to try the ring sizers on different fingers. Switch sizes, switch fingers, and find the most comfortable combination for you. Oura Ring is built for any finger, so find the right balance of style and comfort to fit your needs.
- Test the fit: Once you have determined your size, test the fit by making a fist while wearing your ring sizer. If you see a gap between the top of your finger and the inside of the ring, you might need a smaller size.
- Wear for 24 hours: Your fingers might slightly change in size based on the time of day, so it is recommended you wear the ring sizer for at least 24 hours to confirm your best fit.
Remember, the accuracy of your Oura Ring’s data depends on how well it fits your finger. Take your time and follow these tips to ensure you get the right fit for yourself.
