Overview
- Oura opened preorders and said shipping for the Ring 5 will begin on June 4, with base finishes priced at $399 and premium finishes at $499.
- The Ring 5 is about 40% smaller than the Ring 4, measures roughly 6.09 mm wide and 2.28–2.29 mm thick, and claims six to nine days of battery life depending on size.
- Oura redesigned sensors and brighter LEDs with a dozen signal pathways to improve skin contact and readings, but blood‑pressure signals are algorithmic inferences from those optical sensors rather than cuff measurements.
- The company is launching Health Radar, which at first will include Blood Pressure Signals and Nighttime Breathing, plus live activity tracking, GLP‑1 medication insights, lab uploads, and an on‑demand care link to Counsel Health, with some features rolling out in June and being limited to select markets at launch.
- Oura keeps a required membership at $5.99 per month, sells a $99 portable charging case separately, and accelerated its product cycle as subscription‑free rivals and user fit/battery complaints have increased pressure on the company.
