How to wear your Ring, and best practices for caring for it and your charger.
Wear your Stream Ring
- Pick an index finger (either hand works). We recommend your dominant hand but choose whatever feels most comfortable for you!
- Turn it so the private mic faces up and the touchpad faces your thumb.
Wearing it upside down makes it harder for your Ring to hear you.
Find your size
Stream Ring has its own sizing which is slightly different than an Oura or standard ring sizing. We recommend using the included free sizing kit with your index finger on whichever hand you plan to wear it on.
Water
Stream Ring is IP56 rated which means it is water resistant to rain and handwashing. We recommend drying your Ring before use for the best performance (similar to a wet phone screen).
- Don't wear it swimming, bathing or in a sauna.
- If your Ring gets wet it’s best to dry it right away.
- Make sure your Ring is dry before charging.
Wet fingers can set off gestures. To avoid this while you wash your hands, turn on Ring Snooze. See Using gestures on your Ring.
Everyday care
- Hard surfaces: take your Ring off for weights, barbells and when handling other hard items that could scratch it.
- Gloves: the touchpad won't respond through regular gloves however touchscreen gloves with conductive fingertips may work.
- Cold weather: in the cold, your Ring may be slower to respond and hold its charge for less time.
- Lotion and hand sanitizer: both are fine to use but if the touchpad feels slow to respond afterward, give it a wipe.
- Cleaning: wipe the touchpad and charging pads with a soft, dry cloth.
Care for your charger
- Keep the charger away from liquid.
- Charge your Ring between 10°C and 45°C (50°F to 113°F).
- Keep the charging pads clean and dry.
See Charging your Ring.
Having trouble?
- Ring stops responding after water: wipe it dry. It usually works right away. If not, give it about 15 seconds. Occasionally, water can keep your Ring listening for a few minutes; it goes back to normal on its own. Still stuck? See Ring won't connect or respond.
