RECOVERY
A passive recovery layer.
Aura Ring Athlete sits alongside your sport watch and feeds your recovery the parts your watch ignores: night-time HRV, deep sleep stability, skin temperature trend.
TRAINING
Heart-rate zone time.
Track effort across HR zones without strapping on more hardware. Aura logs intensity, the watch logs everything else.
READINESS
Train when you have the budget.
Aura's daily readiness score weighs your sleep, HRV, and recovery so you know when to push and when to pull back. Less under-recovery. Less guesswork.
EVERY ANGLE
The training-tuned ring.
Drag to rotate. Athlete ships in matte black, brushed silver, or rose gold; pick the one you'd actually wear all day.
