Ring Glance is a standalone Wear OS app that brings your Oura Ring's sleep, readiness, and activity scores to your watch — as tiles, complications, and watch faces. Made for Oura Ring owners on Wear OS 4+. (Ring Glance is an independent app for Oura Ring owners; it is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Ōura Health Oy.)
You need an Oura account with an active Oura Membership, and your Oura Ring. For the one-time sign-in, you'll also need a paired Android phone. The watch opens Oura's consent page through your phone's browser. After that, Ring Glance is standalone and talks to Oura directly from the watch. (Wear OS doesn't support iPhone, and phoneless / LTE-only first sign-in isn't available yet, so an Android phone is required for that first connection.)
Yes. Oura Ring Gen3 and Ring 4 need an active Oura Membership for your data to flow through Oura's API, so Ring Glance needs one too. Without an active membership, Oura computes no scores and Ring Glance shows an empty state, which right now looks the same as a ring that simply hasn't synced yet.
Not for Ring Glance itself. It talks directly to Oura's cloud, so Oura's own app doesn't have to be installed for Ring Glance to work. That said, your ring still syncs its data to Oura through the Oura app, the same as always, so as an Oura member you'll already have it on your phone.
Yes. Night and Glow are both free, but their data comes from the Ring Glance app's complications. Without the app installed, a face still works as a clean clock, but its Oura data is empty and tapping it prompts you to install Ring Glance.
Ring Glance refreshes in the background about every 30 minutes, and again whenever you open the app. It's not live — your data updates after your ring syncs with Oura, and Ring Glance follows shortly after. To pull the latest right away, tap "Sync now" in Settings.
Open Settings and tap "Sync now" — that pulls whatever's newest on Oura's side. Still behind? Your ring may not have synced to Oura yet. Open the Oura app on your phone to let your ring sync, then tap "Sync now" again in Ring Glance's Settings.
Not in real time. Oura's API delivers heart rate as periodic samples (about one every 5 minutes), not a continuous live stream. Ring Glance shows your latest reading and the day's trend, so it's current, just not second-by-second.
Yes. Ring Glance is read-only — it never writes anything back to Oura. Your data is encrypted on your watch and travels only between your watch and Oura. No ads, and no third-party analytics touch your health data. (See the privacy policy.)
Only as long as it needs to show it. Ring Glance keeps just the latest value for each metric on your watch — new data overwrites the old, so it never builds a history. (The body-temperature trend is the one exception, keeping about four weeks so the chart can draw it.) Everything's encrypted on your device, and "Disconnect" or uninstalling wipes it immediately.
The price shows on the Play listing — it varies by country. The two watch faces, Night and Glow, are free. (You'll still need an active Oura Membership for your data; that's Oura's separate subscription, not Ring Glance's.)
Ring Glance runs on Wear OS 4+ watches: Google Pixel Watch (any generation), Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or newer, and other Wear OS 4+ watches (like OnePlus Watch or TicWatch). Every current Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch 4+ runs Wear OS 4 or later. (Samsung's older watches — Galaxy Watch 3, Active, and earlier — run Tizen, not Wear OS, so they aren't supported.)
Yes. Ring Glance has six color themes — Copper, Indigo, Berry, Violet, Mint, and Citron — and your pick recolors everything: every tile, chart, and screen, plus the Night watch face. On watches that support dynamic color, a "System" option matches your watch's own colors.
