Which Oura Ring Should I Get?

10/15/25 | Currently Coveting

I was lucky enough to get the two tone watch for my birthday which is both gold and silver.  Then on my left hand I wear my engagement ring and wedding ring, both platinum (read silver) but on my right hand where my Georgetown class ring which is gold.  Clearly I do not shy away from mixing metals but which one do I want for my smart ring?

Official Oura Ring 4 - 6 Colors

I have not talked about it here yet but two months ago I purchased the ChatGPT premium membership and I use it so often I joke with Mark that I say “i am going to ask my best friend” and then type a query into ChatGPT.  Since I a generous family member is going to get me an OUra Ring for my birthday I actually asked it “do I want a gold or silver Oura ring” and this is what it said:

What Oura says about finishes & trade-offs

  • Oura Ring 4 is made of titanium, and the Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, and Brushed Titanium/Silver finishes use a PVD coating.
  • The Rose Gold finish is designed to develop a patina over time (i.e. it will darken a bit depending on wear).
  • Because the ring is subject to daily wear, scratches or wear could expose the base material or affect finish

 My (Chat GPT’s) suggestion & what to think about

If I were choosing, I’d lean silver (or “silver / brushed silver”) because:

  • It tends to show wear less obviously (scratches and chips blend better)
  • It’s more neutral and versatile, matching anything
  • With gold finishes, minor discoloration or “brassy” tones might come through over time, especially with coatings
  • Lots of users seem to prefer silver when they use mixed metals or change styles often (forums mention gold sometimes looking “too green/brassy” for some)

The first and last points are the ones that hit home and I am very heavily leaning towards the shiny silver.  Before I bite the bullet, any thoughts if you have an Oura ring?

    I loveeeee my ring – you will too!
    I went with gold. It does fade a bit and gets scuffed. I recommend a silicone cover for working out or cleaning.
