I tried Prince Harry's health hack and it's changed my life
HELLO!'s Georgia Brown has been wearing the ?ura Ring to improve her sleep
Wearable tech has never been more in vogue, but the world seems to have moved on from fitness watches, something the Duke of Sussex cottoned on to years ago.Â
Prince Harry has been wearing an ÅŒura Ring since at least 2018, having first debuted the wearable technology on his royal tour in Australia with his wife Meghan Markle, two years before they bowed out of the royal spotlight.Â
Prince Harry wearing the Oura Ring The Duke wears it on his right handThe father-of-two was seen wearing Ōura's Heritage ring in black on his right hand, which features a classic plateau design.The device, which starts at £299, promises to track temperature, sleep efficiency and heart rate variability, in turn offering its wearers the opportunity to become more in tune with their body.
For years I've debated whether or not I should invest in the ÅŒura Ring, but as I enter my second month of wearing it, I can already sense that my relationship with this genius gold band is set for the long run.
Using ÅŒura to track my sleep has changed my life The Oura comes in various finishesFrom the first few nights of wearing it, I became hooked on checking my Sleep Score each morning, which calibrates your awake time, light sleep, REM and deep sleep during your time in bed. Depending on your sleep, ÅŒura gives you a 'Readiness' score, which determines how ready your body is to take on the day.Â
I'm undecided on whether or not seeing a poor Sleep Score negatively affects my mood purely because I've seen it written down, or if ÅŒura's readings are actually accurate enough to predict my mental and physical performance for the day ahead.Â
Where a bad night's sleep would normally be something I'd just 'get on with', I've found that poring over every percentage of my post-sleep stats can sometimes make me feel more anxious, especially if I've slept poorly on a night where I have work the following day.Â
Having said that, becoming obsessed with my Sleep Score is - in my opinion - a healthy obsession because in turn, I've paid closer attention to optimising my sleep schedule.
I was averaging around 6 hours 45 minutes of sleep per night before wearing my ÅŒura, and now I rarely get less than 8 hours 10 minutes - a benefit that has improved my brain and body performance. If ÅŒura tells me it's time to wind down, I'll always listen to it.
My ÅŒura Ring flagged that I was getting ill before I had symptomsView post on Instagram
Â
As part of your immune system powering up to fight infection, your body usually raises an inflammatory response if you're about to get ill - and my ÅŒura Ring flagged this to me before I'd even felt symptoms.Â
I was initially concerned when my ÅŒura Ring notified me that there were signs in my biometrics of something straining my body. The next day, I had flu-like symptoms followed by a week-long cold. While I try not to rely on technology to dictate how healthy I am, I have found the ÅŒura to be a source of comfort when I would previously ignore symptoms.Â
Seeing a low Readiness score, high-stress statistics or poor sleep data makes me take a step back to focus on recuperating, whereas before I'd almost always power through as normal.
I love that it automatically tracks my workoutsI fell out of love with my fitness watch for several reasons, but mainly because I've never liked how it looks with an outfit.Â
The Oura looks like any other piece of jewellery in my collection, but I'm left feeling secretly smug knowing that it's tracking my heart rate, cycle, sleep and stress levels throughout the day.Â
As a keen runner, the only element I miss is that the ring can't link to Runna, the training app I use for marathon training. It can auto-detect when you're working out, which is great for tracking a workout screen-free, but it's certainly not the device to use if you want to log your mile splits or distance markers.
Final thoughts on the ÅŒura RingI had been considering investing in an ÅŒura Ring for years, and now I have it, I wish I had done it sooner.Â
While the £69.99 per year membership fee (which you need to access the ÅŒura app) does feel steep initially, I feel like the improvements I've noticed to my sleep and wellbeing have been worth every penny.Â
It is genuinely the best wearable tech I have tried, and it's the first that has made a positive impact on my lifestyle. Prince Harry was years ahead of the trend; I'd expect to see smart rings becoming far more mainstream in 2025.
