Oura Ring Corporate Office

Oura Ring was founded in Finland in 2013. The ring is a smart ring designed to track sleep and other activity, such as heart rate and body temperature.

The Oura ring is intended to be comfortable and not disrupt sleep or exercise. The operation of the Oura Ring is based on infrared LEDs.

The ring is extremely popular among celebrities, such as Prince Harry of England and Jennifer Anniston.

In March 2022, the company announced that it had sold more than 1 million rings.

In May 2022, Oura and fashion brand Gucci launched a ring with details in 18-karat yellow gold. It comes with Oura’s Gen3 technology.

In August 2023, soon after the release of the third-generation ring, Oura released a US$5.99 monthly membership (with a one-month free trial) for their products that put certain aspects of user data behind a paywall.

The release of this membership program received much criticism and anger from Oura users and reviewers who highlighted the expensive cost of the membership on top of the US$299 price of the Oura Ring.

Oura Ring maintains a corporate office in the USA in San Francisco, California.
