Oura Launches Ring 5, a 40% Smaller Smart Ring

Oura is positioning a much smaller Ring 5 with Health Radar software to lift subscriptions during its IPO preparation.

Overview

  • Oura unveiled the Ring 5 on Thursday and opened pre-orders with shipping scheduled to begin on June 4.
  • The Ring 5 is about 40% smaller than the Ring 4, uses lower‑profile sensor domes and stronger LEDs, and aims to be more comfortable for 24/7 wear.
  • Oura claims the new battery design delivers roughly six to nine days of use and is offering an optional wireless charging case that stores extra charge for $99.
  • The company also launched Health Radar, which includes Blood Pressure Signals and nighttime breathing monitoring, live workout tracking, GLP‑1 insights and an on‑demand care partnership with Counsel Health, with many features promised to roll out to Gen3 and later devices.
  • Ring 5 starts at $399 with premium finishes up to $499, requires the Oura membership for full features, and the launch supports Oura’s broader business push as it prepares a confidential SEC IPO filing while independent validation of long‑term battery life and clinical utility is still pending.
