Our Verdict
The most accurate consumer sleep tracker in independent testing — especially with the 2024 OSSA 2.0 algorithm update. The 96-participant Cambiaghi study (421,045 epochs, multi-night PSG) showed Oura Gen 3 with OSSA 2.0 hitting 75-91% accuracy across sleep stages — the best published consumer result. The ring form factor is genuinely better for sleep than any wristband, and 7-day battery eliminates charging friction. The downsides: $559 over 3 years with subscription, and the September 2025 Palantir/Defense Department partnership has raised legitimate privacy questions despite Oura's denials of data sharing.

About Oura
The Cambiaghi et al. 2024 validation study is the gold-standard paper in this category. A separate 2024 three-device study (Apple Watch Series 8, Oura Gen 3, Fitbit Sense 2) found Oura had the best precision on sleep-stage classification. As close to a 'best overall accuracy' call as you can make with confidence — with a real privacy asterisk.
