Garmin Forerunner 165 and Oura Ring 5 Wearable Reviews

A reviewer purchased a Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch and found it useful for monitoring heart rate and calorie burn during hikes. The device allowed the user to track effort levels and encouraged more intense activity, with the reviewer noting a noticeable increase in calories burned.

Another reviewer tested the new Oura Ring 5, highlighting its slimmer design, lightweight feel, and waterproof construction. The ring tracks heart rate, sleep, menstrual cycles, and activity data, offering a 24/7 wear experience. Battery life is reported at six to nine days, requiring only a few charges per month. Pros include a jewelry‑like appearance and a stress‑free app, while cons note difficulty wearing it during weight‑lifting.

Both products are positioned as health‑focused wearables that provide continuous biometric data to help users manage fitness and wellbeing.
