{"post":{"id":233,"title":"Apple Watch Series 12 has a Readiness score now — time to ditch my Oura ring?","body":"Okay so the new Apple Watch Series 12 apparently measures your heart rate every 5 seconds and HRV every 5 minutes, and gives you a daily Readiness score. Meanwhile I am paying Oura a monthly subscription for basically the same numbers from a ring.\n\nI have worn the ring for two years and I love how invisible it is, but the subscription bugs me and honestly I barely open the app. Has anyone gone from Oura to an Apple Watch for recovery and sleep tracking, or the other way around? Is the Watch data actually comparable?","community":"Phones","score":6,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":116,"name":"Switched from the ring — no regrets","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-18T00:16:30.197Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/233","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":116,"name":"Switched from the ring — no regrets","body":"I did this exact swap back in spring. The ring mostly lived in a drawer after month two — lovely, but invisible means I forgot it existed. The Watch readiness number lines up pretty well with how I actually feel in the morning, which is more than I can say for some of the ring app's dramatic warnings lol. Two caveats: nightly charging takes getting used to, and if you hate things on your wrist at night you're stuck. But killing the subscription felt amazing — add up what you've paid over two years versus one Watch.","score":3,"rank_score":8,"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-18T18:26:13.337Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
