I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot these days, especially his health. He’s 70 now, and while he’s incredibly fit and healthy, I wanted to ensure he was optimizing his life even more with as few gadgets as possible.
So, for a late Father’s Day present, I was thinking about getting him the Oura Ring 4, which is currently up to a whopping 51% off on Amazon for Prime Day, depending on the style you get.
Currently, the metallic version in Black and Silver are 35% off during Prime Day, the Brushed Silver and Stealth are 43% off, and the Gold is 51% off. Not to mention, you could probably get this device with your HSA or FSA funds. The thing I love about the Oura Ring is how subtle it is, and it performs in the background of your life, and it is passive. What I mean by this is that you’re not constantly getting notifications.
Without giving too many personal details about my dad’s health, one thing he’s actively monitoring is his blood pressure, how good his sleep is, how many steps he’s getting, and if he’s feeling rested and well enough for the next day.
If my dad sees any irregularities in his health these days, he’s actively thinking about any differences he’s experienced in his day, and sometimes it can give him additional and unnecessary anxiety.
The Oura Ring would monitor his health overnight, provide him with his Readiness Score, and help him track his heart rate, steps, and, if you’re in the U.S., blood pressure. Just to clarify this, it is not a traditional blood pressure monitor, but rather it uses a health radar feature that monitors cardiovascular strain and shifts that could indicate blood pressure variations.
I love that the smart ring, if you have a subscription, automatically detects which workouts you’re doing, and if you’re planning to get this for yourself and you’re a woman, know it has stellar menstrual cycle monitoring.
My dad is a simple guy, and, more importantly, he is a man of consistency in his daily rituals. I want to make sure that he has no reason to worry about his health, that he monitors it efficiently, and that he doesn’t feel anxious about it.
And if you’re feeling the same about your parents and want them to feel comfortable monitoring their health with something that is passive, subtle, and gorgeously constructed, then I would highly recommend getting the Oura Ring 4.
