It’s been less than two years since I reviewed the Oura Ring 4, so I was surprised to learn that the Oura Ring 5 was coming so soon. After all, we went roughly three years between the launch of the Oura Ring Gen 3 and the Oura Ring 4.<\/p>\n

But while I expected the Oura Ring 5 to simply be a refresh, the updated design really proves it’s something of a generational leap over the Oura Ring 4. In fact, with the smaller profile, long battery life, and other notable upgrades, the Oura Ring 5 feels like the smart ring that all other rings should strive to be.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the Oura Ring 5 looks a bit smaller than the Oura Ring 4, but you don’t really get the full effect until you hold it in your hand. At just over 2 grams for my size 11, the Oura Ring 5 is surprisingly light. It honestly feels like a regular ring in the hand, unlike previous generations, which had a little heft.<\/p>\n
