Oura Ring 5 lauded for slimmer design and comprehensive health tracking

The new Oura Ring 5, priced at $799, is 40 % smaller in volume than its predecessor and weighs just 2 g, making it barely noticeable on the finger. Crafted from lightweight, non‑allergenic titanium, the ring is offered in several finishes and sizes and tracks more than 50 health metrics, including heart rate, blood‑oxygen saturation, temperature, respiration, sleep stages, menstrual cycle and VO₂ max.

Reviewers note that the device delivers research‑grade accuracy while looking like a piece of jewellery. Full access to the data requires a subscription (about €6 per month). Battery life and overall comfort are praised, though the price and subscription model are mentioned as drawbacks. In a German comparison test the Ring 5 placed second behind a competing smart ring, while an Australian review highlighted its seamless integration with daily wear and the expanded health‑monitoring suite.
