Oura Ring 5: smaller, smarter, longer-lasting—should you upgrade?

The Oura Ring 5 tightens its footprint with a 40% smaller frame and lighter weight, adds a refreshed sensor setup (12 light pathways vs 18) with brighter LEDs, and improves durability with a new coating. It touts 6–9 days of battery life (versus Gen 4’s near 4–8) and introduces a new charging case; pricing starts at $399 (premium finishes at $499). Many software features (live activity, Health Radar, blood pressure signals, GLP-1 tracking, lab results import, data erasure) are also available to Gen 4 rings, so upgrading is less about software and more about hardware: new to Oura or using Gen 3+ should consider Ring 5, while Gen 4 owners may opt to stay if the current model already meets their needs.

Oura Ring 5: A Sleeker Ring That Delivers Health Data Like Jewelry

The Oura Ring 5 is sleeker and more jewelry-like, 40% smaller than the Ring 4, with stronger sensors (12 paths) and improved readings. It adds refined motion detection, new health features (AFib alerts, temperature tracking, blood-oxygen monitoring) and enhanced sleep analytics, while auto-workout detection remains imperfect (it logged a 4‑mile run accurately but missed Pilates). In a 48‑hour test, heart-rate data was strong and comparable to the Apple Watch, sleep was accurate, and battery hovered around 80% after two days with a six-to-nine day target; GPS is not onboard, so distance requires a phone. Priced at $400 (about $50 more than Ring 4), the ring aims to blend jewelry aesthetics with robust health metrics, though full long‑term performance awaits the full review.

Tiny rings, big claims: Oura Ring 5 vs Ultrahuman Ring Pro premier face‑off

Trusted Reviews compares the new Oura Ring 5 and Ultrahuman Ring Pro, highlighting Oura’s claim of the world’s smallest smart ring (about 2g, 2.28mm) versus Ultrahuman’s 2.65mm design with a Pro Charging Case. Oura requires a monthly subscription to access data, while Ultrahuman does not (though PowerPlugs and third‑party fees can apply). Ultrahuman touts Jade, a real‑time biointelligence AI for insights, and promises up to 15 days of battery life (the case extends charging potential); Oura claims up to a week for the ring itself. Price starts around £399–£499 for Oura and £429 for Ultrahuman, with Oura launching June 4 and Ultrahuman July 15. Both devices are unreviewed at the time, but promise reliable sleep, recovery and activity tracking with different ownership models and extras.

Oura Ring 5 Slims Down and Elevates Health Tracking, But Hits a Higher Price

The Oura Ring 5 is a sleeker successor to Ring 4, 40% smaller and weighing 2–2.69 g, with upgraded sensors (fewer optical paths, stronger LEDs, larger photodiode) delivering about 12% better overnight HRV and up to 19% better HR during workouts. It adds software features like a health radar, blood pressure signal monitoring, GLP-1 medication tracking, and external HR device integration, plus IP68 dust resistance and a 6–9 day battery life. Priced at $399 and with a reduced size range plus a required monthly subscription for advanced features, it may not justify upgrading for all Ring 4 users.

Oura Ring 5 Leaks Reveal Curved Style and New Deep Rose Finish

A leaked look at the Oura Ring 5 shows a more curved, traditional ring shape and introduces a new Deep Rose finish alongside existing colors, with the same charging dock and portable case.
