I\u2019ve worn enough smart rings at this point that most new launches tend to blend together. The category is maturing, which is great, but it also means many updates have started to feel incremental. That was until the latest from Oura.<\/p>\n

The new Oura Ring 5 is thinner and lighter with upgraded sensors and the same great battery life. The launch also includes features focused on cardiovascular health, nighttime blood pressure trends, and sleep-related breathing insights. As someone who has long considered Oura one of the best sleep trackers available, I\u2019m excited to see those additions as well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still riding the high of my ceramic\u00a0Oura Ring 4, with the blue hue I still haven\u2019t gotten sick of, so to already be testing a new,<\/span>\u00a0even better ring is a surprise. I\u2019ve only had the ring on hand for a few days, but my early impressions are that this isn\u2019t just an incremental update. The Oura Ring 5 feels like the update I\u2019ve been waiting for, and I\u2019m happy to keep wearing it to find out if it is.<\/p>\n

An Oura Ring that really feels like jewelry<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve long been a fan of Oura\u2019s rings, but I\u2019ve never quite loved wearing them. As someone with pretty small hands, previous generations felt a bit too bulky for certain activities and never fully blended in with the rest of my jewelry. That\u2019s not to say they looked bad; they just always looked like smart rings. On the other hand, they\u2019ve looked completely normal on my husband, so it wasn\u2019t a universal problem with the design, just the size.<\/p>\n

The Oura Ring 5 is the slimmed-down design I\u2019ve been hoping for. It\u2019s noticeably thinner, and while I wouldn\u2019t call it dainty, it\u2019s much more in line with the rings I typically wear. For the first time, I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m wearing a man\u2019s wedding band. I also don\u2019t feel like it screams \u201ctech,\u201d which is great for an introvert who dreaded the inevitable checkout-line conversation every time…<\/p>\n
