And yes, Oura Ring users can now get their own Year in Review reports in the app and see how well they’re doing compared to others all over the globe through anonymous global community data.

One of the most interesting things about Oura’s Year in Review is that it will categorize members into Earth, Water, or Fire personality types based on their habits. Earth is balanced with strong Stress Resilience and Recovery. Water is a super sleeper who prioritized strong sleep habits. Fire is very active, with high Activity Goal completion.

A powerful feature previously trialed in the Oura Ring’s beta program has been fully released and is available to all wearers of the smart ring.
