Does Oura Ring Track Real-Time Heart Rate?

Oura Ring is a health and fitness tracking device that directly rivals all the smartwatches available in the market. Unlike smartwatches, it does not constantly disturb you with all the notifications and is really compact in size. However, because of its compact size and design, it cannot show you much information because it does not have any display.

One of the most important features of any fitness tracker is heart rate monitoring. It actually helps calculate and identify a lot of things when it comes to tracking one’s health. When it comes to smartwatches, you can generally measure your real-time heart rate by just pressing a button or touching the screen. But since an Oura Ring does not have any of these, so how to measure the current heart rate on it is a common question to ask. An even more common question to ask is: Does Oura Ring track live heart rate?

The answer to this question is yes and no. Yes, only Oura Ring Gen 3 can track your active heart rate because Oura has introduced a Live Heart Rate feature to it. But all the previous generations of Oura Rings cannot do so.

Fixed: Oura Ring Not Showing Live Heart Rate

Sometimes it may happen that your Oura Ring is not able to measure your live heart rate or it may also happen that it is taking a lot of time to do it. If you are facing the same issue then this part of the article is for you.

Let us look at the possible reasons behind it and their fixes.

1) Bluetooth Connection

Since you are sending commands from your smartphone to your smart ring to calculate the heart rate therefore they need to be connected to communicate with each other. If they are not connected then you will not be able to see your current heart rate.

Make sure that your both devices are connected and are close to each other when you calculate real time heart rate.

2) Low Skin Temperature

If your skin temperature is extremely low then also your Oura Ring will not be able to measure your current heart rate. In this case, you should warm your hands a little.

3) Movement

If you are moving while you are measuring your heart rate then also your Oura Ring will not be able to take your active heart rate. Therefore, make sure to hold still for around 10-15 seconds when you are measuring your live heart rate.

4) Ring Orientation

If you have not worn the ring properly or if its orientation is not right then also the Oura Ring will not be able to measure the heart rate. According to Oura, the sensors of the ring should touch your finger on the palm side of your hand. Therefore, wear the ring properly before measuring the heart rate.
