Oura Ring 5 debuts with slimmer design and advanced health tracking

The latest Oura Ring 5 has arrived with a sleeker design and new health-tracking features. The updated smart ring now offers longer battery life, improved durability, and expanded app functions for fitness, contraception, and menopause support. Users can also sync it with other fitness devices and locate it easily if misplaced. The Oura Ring 5 is 40 percent slimmer than the previous model, making it look more like traditional jewellery. It retains an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance while adding a new scratch-resistant coating. Battery life has improved too, lasting six to nine days on a single charge—longer than its predecessor’s six-day capacity.

A portable charging case is available separately, providing wireless charging and enough power for a month of use. The ring can now sync with compatible fitness accessories, such as heart rate monitors, and users can start and track workouts directly from their smartphones. Real-time insights appear on-screen or via lock-screen widgets. The updated Oura app introduces new health features. A hormonal contraception tracker lets users compare the effects of methods like the pill or IUD against hormone-free periods. Menopause support has also been added, helping users analyse how symptoms impact daily life. Additionally, a find-my-ring feature helps locate the device if it goes missing. Smart rings offer distinct advantages over smartwatches. They are more discreet, track essential health metrics, and remain comfortable even during sleep.

The Oura Ring 5 combines a refined design with extended battery life and stronger durability. Its expanded app features now cover contraception tracking, menopause analysis, and workout integration. The device’s ability to sync with other fitness accessories and its discreet wearability make it a versatile health companion.
