As a health nut, I love keeping tabs on my heart rate, blood oxygen, and caloric count on a daily basis. While a smartwatch is what I normally use to keep track of these stats, it’s not the most comfortable option (and yes, I’ve tried and tested them all). That’s where an Oura ring really makes a change, as I can wear it all day through workouts and naps — without ever worrying about discomfort. My only qualm with the Oura ring? I wish it came in more colors than the generic metallic shades. I love to stand out, and I want an Oura ring that does the same.

I think the Oura gods heard my prayer as earlier this week the brand announced the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic, boasting four new bright shades including Midnight, Cloud, Tide, and Petal. They’re beautiful, minimalistic, but add that pop of color that Gen Z-ers will love the most. Each Oura Ring has a zirconia ceramic exterior, and comes with five to eight days of battery life — which means you literally have to charge it just once a week.

As for sensors, you’ll get respiration rate, heart rate, and oxygen level sensors. You can also keep an eye on your movement and activity, as well as your temperature levels. It’s water-resistant up to 100 meters, so a little light rain shouldn’t damage your new accessory. And my favorite part? It works with both Android and iOS devices, which is nice when you own multiple phones or just aren’t loyal to a particular company. The longevity is great too. Apart from minor scuffs and scratches, this ring should last you a few years with ease.

For those of you who prefer a sleeker build and want the same health stats a smartwatch delivers, an Oura ring is for you. In fact, the brand is expanding its suite of health benefits, now offering health panels directly in your Oura app (once you draw blood at the nearest Quest Diagnostics Center). These health panels will look at 50 biometric measures, and the inbuilt Oura AI will make personalized recommendations to help improve any out-of-range scores.

This is a game-changer for those who want to keep an eye on their health at all times, and improve their metabolic or blood sugar levels before their next annual doctor's visit. Whether it’s heart health, stress levels, or activity levels — this smart ring can handle it all, and it looks good doing it. Shop the new Oura Ring 4 Ceramic now in four colors for $499. The ring is also HSA and FSA eligible if you’re looking for another reason to buy.
