Overview
- The Oura Ring 5 began shipping to customers on June 4 and early reviews from multiple outlets say the device is noticeably thinner, lighter and more comfortable than the Ring 4.
- Oura reduced the ring’s width and thickness by about 40 percent to a 6.09 mm by 2.28 mm profile while keeping battery life at roughly six to nine days between charges.
- Live Activity Tracking is available now in the app, while Health Radar capabilities such as blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing are scheduled to roll out later in June and will be limited to regions that clear them medically.
- The Ring 5 is sold starting at $399 for standard finishes and $499 for premium finishes, requires an Oura membership to unlock advanced metrics, uses a size‑specific charger, and has an optional $99 travel charging case.
- Buyers are advised to use Oura’s new sizing kit because the Ring 5 fits differently than prior models and long‑term claims about scratch resistance and multi‑year battery longevity remain unproven pending extended use.
