But when you\u2019re regularly wearing something on your hands, you probably want it to look nice and perhaps even blend in with the rest of your jewelry. That\u2019s the idea behind Oura\u2019s newest smart ring, the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ring 4 Ceramic is Oura\u2019s first collection of smart rings that\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0feature metallic finishes. Instead,\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0made from zirconia ceramic, a more wear-resistant material that, Oura says, delivers both style and comfort.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve\u00a0tested the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic for the past three weeks, and\u00a0here\u2019s\u00a0what I\u2019ve found.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving into the specifics,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth\u00a0noting\u00a0that\u00a0since the software behind the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic is the same as the Oura Ring 4, I\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be delving too deeply into the software and hardware side of things. For that, you can check out\u00a0our Oura Ring 4 review.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finish-nbsp-and-feel-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finish_and_feel\"><\/span>Finish\u00a0and feel\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oura Ring 4 Ceramic comes in four colors: Midnight (dark blue), Cloud (white), Tide (light teal), and Petal\u00a0(light pink).\u00a0The ring costs $150 more than the starting price of the standard Ring 4, with a $500 price tag, and is available in sizes 4-15.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I opted for Midnight. Although the shade is technically dark blue, it can <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear black from afar \u2014 or even a dark shade of green,\u00a0I\u2019ve been\u00a0told.\u00a0The ring doesn\u2019t look like a tech wearable at first glance, which is nice if you want to prioritize aesthetics without sacrificing functionality.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"453\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3052510\" style=\"width:726px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg 3240w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=680,453 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=1280,853 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=430,287 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=720,480 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=668,445 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=563,375 563w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=926,617 926w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=708,472 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OR4C_Collection.jpg?resize=50,33 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Oura<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When compared to the original Ring 4, the Ceramic version slightly thicker, but\u00a0the difference is hardly noticeable. The titanium version is 2.88 mm thick, while the ceramic version measures 3.51 mm.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 13-15, 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the weight, the ring can weigh between 5.1 and 8.1 grams, depending on the size you get, making it heavier than the Titanium Ring 4, which weighs between 3.3 and 5.2 grams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic being thicker and heavier than its predecessor, I found it to be comfortable and lightweight, even when compared to a standard metal band. It feels like a regular ring, just marginally thicker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ring is smooth and not as prone to collecting fingerprints as the titanium versions of the Ring 4.\u00a0Since the zirconia ceramic is warmer and less slick than the titanium rings, the Ring 4 Ceramic can feel a somewhat \u201csticky\u201d at times, meaning the outside of the ring might cling to the sides of your fingers, but I adjusted to the feel of the ring\u00a0pretty quickly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oura says the color on the rings comes from natural minerals in the ceramic itself, so it stays vibrant and\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0fade over time. (Of course,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0only had the ring for three weeks, so I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0speak to its long-term durability, but so far, the color is identical to what it was on day one.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-durability-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Durability\"><\/span>Durability\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oura says the Ring 4 Ceramic\u00a0is prone to scuffs from softer metals, like those found in cookware or dumbbells. The company says these scuffs can be addressed with the Polishing Pad that comes with the ring.\u00a0(The review unit I received from Oura did not include the Polishing Pad, however.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also recommends wearing the ring on your non-dominant hand to avoid unnecessary impact. However, the ring just\u00a0felt\u00a0right on my dominant index finger, so\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0where I wore it for the past three weeks.\u00a0This exposed it to more potential damage in a briefer period of time than a typical customer might experience.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"465\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3068029\" style=\"width:765px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png 2168w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=150,103 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=300,205 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=768,525 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=680,465 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=1200,820 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=1280,875 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=430,294 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=720,492 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=900,615 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=800,547 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=1536,1050 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=2048,1400 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=668,457 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=549,375 549w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=903,617 903w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=708,484 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-14-at-1.19.25-PM.png?resize=50,34 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>TechCrunch\/Aisha Malik<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first day I put on the ring, I put it through a busy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> day to TechCrunch Disrupt, our annual conference in San Francisco.\u00a0I\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0sure how well the ring would hold up with me hauling my luggage around, accidentally hitting\u00a0the\u00a0ring\u00a0on\u00a0a few counters (I\u2019m clumsy!),\u00a0or letting it brush against the\u00a0airplane\u00a0window when I\u00a0leaned in for a nap.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it turned out, the ring made it through all of that unscathed. There were even a handful of moments when I was certain I had scratched it \u2014 like when\u00a0I was holding\u00a0on to\u00a0a rusty railing walking up the steps of the Point Arena\u00a0Lighthouse,\u00a0forgetting\u00a0that\u00a0I had the ring on, or when I forgot to remove it before doing the dishes.\u00a0But the ring didn\u2019t end up with any marks or permanent damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s worth mentioning that although the ring is water-resistant up to 100 meters, which means you can wear it while doing the dishes or showering, I took it off while doing the dishes because Oura warns that the ring can scuff when it comes into contact with softer metals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0had less than a month with the ring, I\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0be surprised if, further down the line, it collected at least some scuffs or dents, especially given its location on my dominant hand.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts-nbsp-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span>Final thoughts\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond aesthetics, the ring was quite useful in helping me understand my heart health, sleep, and stress through the Oura app. Each morning, I found myself looking forward to seeing my \u201creadiness score,\u201d which is calculated using both short-term and long-term metrics to show how prepared you are for the day ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the battery life is holding up well, as I\u2019ve only had to charge it once per week, which is consistent with Oura\u2019s promise of a battery that lasts between five and eight days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing between a titanium and a ceramic ring\u00a0ultimately depends\u00a0on your aesthetic preferences and your ideal price point. With color and material being the only differences between the two, it really comes down to whether you want a sleek, modern finish or the\u00a0standard metal smart ring\u00a0look.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want that pop of color and style, then the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic might be the smart ring for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
