Overview
- Oura reduced the Ring 5’s form factor by about 40 percent to make it much slimmer and more discreet so users can wear it comfortably overnight and during daily life.
- The device adds upgraded sensors, Live Activity Tracking for real‑time pace and heart rate, and a Health Radar that highlights long‑term signals such as nighttime breathing patterns and blood‑pressure indicators.
- Oura advertises roughly seven days of battery life and prices the Ring 5 from about £399, while most advanced metrics are locked behind an Oura Membership that the coverage reports at £5.99 per month.
- Several Health Radar capabilities will roll out later and only in markets where Oura secures regional medical or regulatory clearance, which delays some of the ring’s most advanced health signals.
- Reviewers praise the Ring 5’s comfort, sleep insights and improved low‑motion activity detection but warn about durability for heavy manual work and note deep discounts on the older Ring 4 that narrow the upgrade case for many buyers.
