They’ve finally made the Oura Ring smaller and lighter

Oura has announced the Oura Ring 5, a redesigned, slimmer wearable featuring improved battery life and new software capabilities, including GLP-1 tracking and advanced health monitoring tools.

Key Points

  • The Oura Ring 5 is 40 percent smaller than its predecessor, measuring 6.09mm wide and 2.29mm thick, with a starting price of $399.
  • New software features include Health Radar for monitoring blood pressure and breathing, plus specific insights for users taking GLP-1 medications.
  • The device is constructed from titanium, features IP68 weather resistance, and offers a battery life lasting between six and nine days.
  • Users can now pair third-party heart rate monitors with the Oura app and utilize a new time-based data deletion feature for increased privacy.

Why it Matters

This launch signals Oura's aggressive push to integrate medical-grade health insights and AI-driven analysis into a more compact, consumer-friendly form factor. By expanding into metabolic health tracking and cognitive research, the company is positioning its hardware as a comprehensive tool for long-term health management rather than just a basic fitness tracker.
