Oura Ring 5 debuts with slimmer design, longer battery, and advanced health tracking

Oura has launched its latest wearable, the Oura Ring 5, with several upgrades in design and functionality. The sleeker device now offers improved durability, extended battery life, and new health-tracking features. It also integrates better with other fitness accessories and includes tools for tracking workouts and reproductive health. The Oura Ring 5 is 40 percent slimmer than its predecessor, giving it a more refined look. A new scratch-resistant coating and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance make it more durable for daily use. Battery life has also improved, lasting between six to nine days on a single charge, depending on the ring’s size.

A new find-my-ring feature helps users locate the device if misplaced. The companion app now allows workouts to be started and tracked directly from a smartphone. The ring can also sync with compatible fitness accessories, such as heart rate monitors. The updated Oura app introduces two new health-tracking features. A menopause support tool analyses how symptoms may impact daily life. Additionally, a hormonal contraception tracker monitors the effects of methods like the pill or IUD. Smart rings offer distinct advantages over smartwatches, including a more discreet design and the ability to track key health metrics comfortably, even during sleep.

The Oura Ring 5 combines a slimmer design with enhanced durability and longer battery life. Its new app features expand its health-tracking capabilities, covering workouts, menopause, and contraception. The device remains a practical alternative to bulkier wearables while maintaining comfort and functionality.
