00:00Hey guys, in this video I'll be taking you through how to use the Aura Ring 4, whether
00:04you're a new user or looking for some helpful tips and tricks to make the most of your smart
00:09ring experience.
00:10Let's get into it.
00:11To set up your Aura Ring, you'll need to start by downloading the Aura Ring app and
00:15making an Aura Ring account.
00:16This is when you're going to add your payment information for the membership cost.
00:21Once you're logged in, make sure your ring is on the charging base.
00:24This applies for both the Aura Ring 3 or Aura Ring 4, and make sure Bluetooth is enabled
00:29on your phone.
00:30Open the Aura Ring app and it should automatically start searching for your new ring.
00:35From there, you'll follow the steps for a few basic prompts, and then your Aura Ring
00:39should be ready to go.
00:40Before we move on, I want to point out that I've done a full review on this channel of
00:45the Aura Ring 4.

00:57Back to how to set up your Aura Ring.
00:58You might be wondering how it should fit, or which finger you should be wearing your
01:02Aura Ring on.
01:03You should have already received a sizing kit with your order, but in case you're here
01:07because you haven't ordered your Aura Ring yet, I'd generally suggest sizing one up from
01:12your normal ring size.
01:13It's not a perfect match, and considering you're going to be wearing this to sleep and
01:17such, you'll want to leave a little bit of room to accommodate finger swelling.
01:20That said, you don't want a full gap so that the sensors can't maintain contact with your
01:24skin.
01:25As for what finger to use, Aura recommends your index finger for the most accurate information,
01:30but I know a lot of people wear it on their ring finger.
01:33That shouldn't cause any significant data discrepancies.
01:36Now that you're wearing the ring and it's paired to your phone, there are a few settings
01:40you'll want to explore.
01:42First, I suggest pairing your Aura Health information to the Apple Health app by going
01:46to Settings, Apple Health.
01:48Next, you'll want to curate the notifications you get, also in the settings tab.
01:54I don't mind having them on, especially the battery level alerts, but it's up to you.
01:58After that, most users will want to enable blood oxygen sensing to make sure you're getting
02:02the best picture of your sleep tracking.
02:05Lastly, I also suggest visiting the Aura Labs tab to see if there are any features that
02:10you might want to try in beta.
02:12You can even enable notifications to know when a new feature is available for testing.
02:18The Aura Ring has a battery life that's longer than most smartwatches, but you might be wondering
02:22how to make the battery life last even longer.
02:25It's worth noting that the newer Aura Ring 4 lasts up to 8 days, which is longer than
02:29the Aura Ring 3, but things you can do to preserve battery life is actually disable
02:34blood oxygen sensing.
02:35I know I just told you to enable it, and I don't necessarily advocate for that in terms
02:39of user experience, but if your battery life is your priority, it'll work.
02:44Long term, to preserve the Aura Ring's battery health, it's also a good idea to not let it
02:48completely die before charging it.
02:50Finally, you can place your ring in airplane mode to pause the Bluetooth connection.
02:54The information will sync whenever you decide to turn airplane mode off.
02:59To make the most of using your Aura Ring, you're going to want to spend some time digging
03:02around the app, tracking your trends, and when possible, tagging your activities.
03:07The more you interact with the app, the more it can tell you about your health.
03:12Some of my favorite features include the daily stress tracking and timeline that lets me
03:15give context as to why I may be so stressed.
03:18I also really like the automatic activity tracking, and for those days when I'm sick
03:22or didn't sleep well, the option to enable rest mode is awesome.
03:29So what else can Aura Ring do?
03:31Let's take a look at the dashboard for all the information your ring and behaviors can
03:35imply about your health.
03:36The experience revolves around three tabs, today, vitals, and my health.
03:41Between these, you can review long-term and short-term health data from activity and steps
03:45to heart rate and heart rate variability to your resilience to stress and even your
03:49cardiovascular age.
03:51Aura is constantly adding new features, such as symptom tracking and an AI-based Aura Advisor
03:56that helps take the edge off the monthly membership fee.
03:59I'm going to link my written review of the Aura Ring 4 in the description so that you
04:03can take a closer look at some other neat things that your Aura Ring can do.
04:07I personally love my Aura Ring.
04:09I've been a user for many years now, so I hope that you get to have a positive experience
04:14with it using these tips and tricks.
04:17Let me know what inspired you to buy an Aura Ring and if there are any reasons, like that
04:21membership, that you're still on the fence.
04:23Anyways, that's it for me.
04:25Thanks for watching.
04:26I'll catch you next time!
