What believers are saying

  • Oura's continuous innovation, such as the introduction of the 'Oura Advisor' AI feature, keeps it at the forefront of wearable health technology.
  • The company's strong market presence, with a 62% market share in the smart ring sector, indicates robust consumer trust and brand loyalty.
  • Collaborations with institutions like the University of California, Berkeley, and partnerships with retailers like John Lewis, expand Oura's reach and credibility.

What critics are saying

  • The entry of major competitors like Samsung into the smart ring market could erode Oura's market share and impact its growth.
  • Legal challenges, such as the patent lawsuit from Samsung, could divert resources and focus away from innovation.
