Overview
- Oura began shipping the Ring 5 and reviewers started receiving units on June 4, giving independent hands-on impressions that confirm the new size and battery claims.
- The Ring 5 is roughly 40% smaller than the Ring 4, measuring about 6.09 mm wide and 2.28 mm thick, and reviewers say the thinner profile is noticeably more comfortable.
- Oura reports six to nine days of battery life for the Ring 5 despite the smaller form factor, though some users and reviewers have flagged recurring two-year battery degradation concerns that Oura has not detailed.
- Software updates are rolling out now: Live Activity Tracking is available immediately while expanded Health Radar features such as Nighttime Breathing and nighttime blood-pressure trends will reach eligible members later in June and may be limited by market and regulatory readiness.
- Oura sells the Ring 5 starting at $399 with premium finishes at $499, requires a $5.99/month membership for full features, offers fewer ring sizes (6–13) with a new sizing kit, and retailers have begun discounting Ring 4 stock while accessories like a travel charging case are sold separately.
