I used to have a fitbit. Really liked a lot of its features. Like the reminder to move and the competition within the app (games and competitionvs friends). However, whenever I was at work I'd find myself taking it off for more comfortable typing and then forgetting it during the day. Now that I'm back at work I'm sitting more and need to move. I was thinking of getting an oura ring. Does anyone have one? Any thoughts as to which is better?

Following! I want one too!

I switched from an Apple Watch to an oura ring about a month ago! Also had a Fitbit a while back.

Pros - more subtle to wear, way better sleep tracking, does remind you to move, battery lasts a few days

Cons - when I was researching before I purchased I saw a review that called it a recovery tool, not an exercise tool, and that’s true. No competition with other people, no sync up with phone for messages/calls (was really reliant on my watch for that!)

Happy to answer any other questions. Overall I am happy with it and will continue with it

Also forgot to add a potential con - now to fully access all Oura features, a monthly subscription is required. It’s free for the first six months and then like 5 or 6 dollars after that

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
