Oura Ring 5 Review Highlights Thinner Design, Longer Battery and Subscription Model

The Oura Ring 5 launches at $399, featuring a slimmer frame and an extended battery life of up to nine days, three days more than the previous generation. New Oura app features include long‑term breathing pattern tracking and overnight blood‑pressure measurements. The ring ships in six finishes, with size options from 6 to 13, and requires a $69.99 annual membership for full data access.

Comparisons note that the Fitbit Air ($99) and other screen‑free trackers such as Whoop 5.0 ($239 annual) offer similar health metrics without a subscription fee, positioning the Oura Ring 5 as a premium, jewelry‑style wearable rather than a budget fitness device.
